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!

Release Annoucement Plus Hunt Items!

Lots of stuff going on! I have no idea how the designers that put out new releases weekly or daily manage it! Mee 'at's off to the duke! I do my poor best and am slllooowwwlllyyy getting quicker. I won't sacrifice quality for quick, so don't expect miracles!

Anyway, I have a new release out. One particular color set is the exclusive group gift! Through the in-world group or the subscriber group you can't lose! The burnt orange is for the group - and guys, that pin is not feminine so check it out - and the release includes versions in copper, gold and silver! I found a Victorian piece that I used as a model for this set. I have to say I like how this turned out! ;-))

Now, hunt gifts......drum roll please!!

For WOMENStuff, Elegance in Emerald is your reward for stopping at Always Eclectic! I had fun creating this one. A plain old chain just didn't seem right so I used a little creativity on this one. I hope you like it!

 

 

For the Shaken But Not Stirred hunt, not being a huge bond fan, I had to consult with my other half as he loves that kind of stuff. I ended up with male and female gifts.

 

Diamonds Are Forever shows the precious stones in a swirl of silver. The motion is inherent in the pieces.

 

Casino Royale is for gents or ladies. Your own personal roulette wheel! It's a lovely pin, not suitable for real gambling though.

 

And now, on to Christmas!! Whew! It just never stops does it? I hope you all have fun hunting and please take a look around the rest of the store while you're there.

 

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!
