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!

Happy Halloween!!!

Hope all you ghouls and goblins are all ready for the big holiday!  Always Eclectic is in The Halloween Hunt with this entry...

I also put an item in the Builder's Brewey Graveyard which features Halloween items from all over the grid - it's amazing at the variety and quality of the items! I won't give away the entry - you'll have to seach for it amongst the dead and nearly dead....bwahahahaha!!!!

I have a few Halloween items for sale at the store in case you just can't get enough.....

And....a new Halloween marotte.....a  not-so-lovely witch with an evil laugh!!

So have a scary good time and get ready for the November hunts - Shaken But Not Stirred and WOMENstuff.

See you soon!

Sane or Sick: Working on SL things on a RL Cruise...You decide

So, here I am, on a RL cruise with my hubby, and what am I doing whenever I'm in the room? You guessed it - working on textures and ideas and paperwork for Always Eclectic! I think my hubby has given up and decided I'm just a hopeless addict so he doesn't say much anymore....just gets more theatrical in his sighs.

There is an ulterior motive.....I have been off RL work since mid-July and my 'vacation,' if you count being in a lot of pain for more than half that time a vacation, will end soon as I will return to work in early October. In my little SL addicted mind, that means HURRY!!!!

I have a bunch of things that I have in-store signs now created. Those should be getting put up sometime in October with any luck.

I'm in The Halloween Hunt, so I've finished my gifty for that, plus a couple of other cool Halloween things.

I have an idea for my gift for the Shaken Not Stirred hunt thanks to hubby and his knowledge of All Things Bond.

That brings me to WOMENstuff hunt and the holidays...whew....

Add to that my involvement in a RL choir that, of course, performs at the holidays, and that my RL dad broke a hip just before my cruise started.....you begin to get the picture.

So I am working my little avatar behind off to get everything ready so Always Eclectic doesn't miss a beat! More lovely little hunt items to create......bwahahahahaha!!!! ;-)))

See you soon!

Always Eclectic to be in the WOMENstuff Hunt!

Yes! We're in the WOMENstuff hunt! This is fabulous news - lots of exposure - lots of new people to meet! I am SO excited to hear this news!!! Now to work on the giftee!!

I learn more about having my own land and store all the time. No yelling to the landlord when something doesn't look right - just dig in and fix it! Need to find a place to put something? Move something in the main store? Create a new display outside? Create a new building outside? The decisions are all mine.

This is good and bad. Good because I get to do what I think best. Bad because it does take away from creating jewelry. I'm trying valiantly to balance the two. So far I'm reasonably successful - I think.

First, onward to more recent. I'm finishing up a new release....it is cool....very....different from most things I've done before. Then Halloween....

Never ending! And don't forget to come by for the Steam 7 giftee!
