Fabulous NEW Items for the Renaissance Hunt/Fair

I've put out some new items and some EXCLUSIVE items for the Renaissance Faire/Hunt.

The first set I call Elegance. It's delicate, feminine (sorry guys!) and lovely! It is a reproduction of a Renaissance piece I saw.  These first two are ONLY available at the Always Eclectic tent at the Renaissance Faire. They will be available through the end of September and then POOF! They will disappear forever!

There are two additional versions of Elegance that are available at both the Faire and the Main Store.

On to another Renaissance era release......Distinction! Ladies and Gentlemen will look regal and rich in these sets. The silver set is the prize in the Renaissance Hunt! The gold set is on sale at the Faire and at the Main Store.












 

Merry Happy Festive..........you get the idea! New Releases!

I'll only post a sample since both styles come in a variety of colors and finishes. Busy little elf!!!

Whew!!! Now I have to start thinking about January - AHHHH!!!!

Merry Christmas! Happy Hannukah! Have a good Kwanzaa! Happy Ramadan! And anything else I left out! Everyone be happy and festive and enjoy life this season!

See you soon!

And a Merry HUNT-mas to you!

Wow - there are SO many hunts in December. After getting all my own hunt gifts ready, it's time to go a-hunting myself! But first......

WOMENstuff Hunt part 2 - In honor of the association with breast cancer, a set of Pink Poinsettias to adorn your holiday! The barette is a new item for me. My model is a woman I work with who ALWAYS wears flowers in her hair!

Renaissance Hunt - More traditional jewelry made sense for the Renaissance Hunt. Holly, wreaths, rubies, red, green - all the colors and textures that say Christmas.

Also, Always Eclectic has a booth on Renaissance Island for the season, which coincidentally is the beginning of the Renaissance Hunt! http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Renaissance%20Faire%20Isle/21/185/24

The Christmas Spirit Hunt - I don't like to play favorites amongst my 'kids', but this set game out so elegantly I'm just tickled to death! Studs for, well, the studs of course!

Always Eclectic also has a store at the Dickens Christmas Village for Victorian items: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Mieville%20Kipling/244/14/2502

Last but not least - we're now part of the Stored and Creators list! Fabulous!

See you soon!

Introducing.....'Regally Yours'!!

I just released a new set called 'Regally Yours.' As the name implies, the set is based on some medieval period pieces. This is the biggest set I've made as it includes 6 separate items (7 if I count each earring!). Take a look!

To entice you further, the Renaissance Island location has the silver ring as a freebie! Always Eclectic at Renaissance Island.

Both sets are available at Renaissance Island, and the individual pieces are available at the main store as well as the sets.  Always Eclectic Main Store

One of the reasons I do period jewelry is that I love period clothing! I wouldn't want to wear the stuff in real life as it is way too heavy and hot. But, in SL it is light as a feather and everyday has perfect weather so it's not a problem! Period pieces involve an interesting challenge. For instance, the jewels have less facets in medieval times. They didn't have the tools to do the very delicate faceting that they did in later years. So, no, I wasn't being lazy using kind of squarish jewels - I was trying my best to be authentic! ;-)))

Anyway, back to work! I have ideas for Halloween rolling around in my head - now they need to roll out onto some prims!! And don't forget the Steam 7 hunt item waiting for you at the main store!

See you soon!

Working hard......

Whew! Two hunts for May to prepare for, and it just keeps on going! I've created some very interesting items for hunts recently.

This set is in the Totally Me hunt. Music is one of my passions. I love to sing and really enjoy singing in my choir, the BeckRidge Chorale. This is one thing that keeps me busy, particularly in December and April.

For the 'It's Fun to Be 5' Prim Perfect hunt, I created an item for the Garden Party theme - a floral corsage/boutonniere suitable for any garden party.





I've also created a new Renaissance set that blew me away when I got done....here's a photo - will have it out soon....One of the earring sets will be the freebie at my Renaissance Island location.

Onward ho - 2012 holds hope and promise!

Busy busy - I have some new merchandise out - a lovely ruby heart brooch and earring set - or completed! Will be putting it out for sale shortly. New order for the next Dr. Who ring - thank goodness for the Whovians! Signed up for 2 February hunts and working on the freebies for those - don't forget this month's freebies and the prizes for the hunts the store is in - Trick or Treat (Farewell to Winter) and Poppin' Penguins!!

I keep hoping at some point I'll be able to use a snippet of something to help make something else but not too much so far. Since I don't want to settle for something close, I find myself making sculpts to get exactly what I want. Of course, that makes things take longer.....or does for me anyway. At least the brooch clasp I made can be reused.

In researching the brooch, I found that Victorian ladies didn't really wear necklaces very much. With those high necklines, where would you put a necklace? They wore some chokers, and a lot of brooches and bracelets. They also tended to wear the bracelets in sets of two, the same for each wrist. Interesting.....but for the Sl audience, I think I have to make necklaces also, or for most things.

Off to put out that ruby set - I find I like the paperwork far less than I like the making of the items - go figure!
