starry, starry night: stellaa interviewed on when worlds collide

Cypress Rosewood interviews Stellaa Francis, who is a Brazilian singer of Japanese descent, speaking of the songs by Kitaro that she sings on her new album which she is debuting in Second Life on March 6th on Stella Island. There will be two shows; one at 5 PM SLT and the other at 7 PM SLT. Her music also debuts on iTunes and other music venues on the web that same day. She has a lovely voice and her avatar pales to her Audrey Hepburnish looks.

I have a bunch of new things I am working on. I saw a pic of a mushroom that curved similar to this and I thought, “that could be a seat”, so set about doing one in Modo. I happen to love mushrooms, whether eating them or making them. Such wonderful things, fungi….shapes, colors, textures…I love it all.

…and a firefly to read ‘er by: a place to read for tinies and faeries

Getting ready to put the finishing touches on my class in Mystical Mastery this weekend teaching how to make prim mushrooms and a firefly to read by that you can click on and off. The build, if you are not inclined to building your own, will also be available, with sculpted mushrooms, at my stores soon, including my new store for tinies at Raglan Shire that I have alongside my good friends, DrFran Babcock, Shadow Marlin and Vanilla Jessop.

Rose du Jour, color your world, any color you want

 This was my first full-scripted item and I was so pleased with the way it came out.  The roses have slight variations from petal to petal and stunningly adorn in a semi-circle halo of blossoms and buds.  You can get almost any color by clicking on the garland and using the Blue Dialog box.  Using Hue (the color), Saturation (how deep or muted the color) and Value (how light or dark), you click until you find the color you want.    The reset button takes it back to its default pink.With copy permissions, you can save a garland to match every outfit in your wardrobe. 

Rose du Jour is 350L and available at all my stores, including Linji.

“O brave new world, That has such people in’t!”

Welcome!Just another blog, but it’s mine, all mine! And you can’t have it, but I hope that you’ll read it from time to time. So, who am I?This blog is more about me, as Eleanora Newell, in Second Life than as me, Cris Palomino, in First Life. Dragged, kicking and screaming, into Second Life, this is actually my third try at it and this time it stuck (no Heloise Hints for that stain removal; I think it’s permanent!I have a line of stores, The Oh! Factor with two specialty stores, Cotte to Perfection and By the Sea and Stars.I make a variety of things and will be showing new things as well as showing other pieces from my lines since they have never been showcased through a blog.My first offering is my sculpted hibiscus flowers. These are sculpted in Modo, hand-textured in Photoshop and have been scripted to change color with Hue/Saturation/Value. You can match just about any color. With the flowers being given with copy permissions, this means you can save a set that have been colored to coordinate your favorite outfit.The holidays are nearing and I wish each and every one of you a wonderful holiday in whichever way you celebrate, but most of all, may you be surrounded by love and know true peace.
