The Tree of Life is a symbol that can be found in many cultures and religions throughout history. At its core, the tree represents growth, strength, and connection to all things. Its roots anchor it firmly in the earth, while its branches reach upwards towards the sky, embodying the idea of balance and harmony. The Tree of Life is also often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and enlightenment, as it symbolizes the cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all living things. Overall, the Tree of Life is a powerful symbol of the beauty and resilience of nature, as well as the eternal cycle of growth, death, and rebirth.

Please find the pendant on the little table in the foyer.

Fancy owning a tattoo shop? Then here at TSD we have some bits and pieces that you can take away with you.... Looking for some lights? We have a fat pack of collection of vintage lights. Happy Shopping

This memorial is for little "Gracie". If you want to shed a few tears while you're building something, just do a memorial for a baby. This precious little buddy was just a year old plus a few days, when she crossed over and her Grandmother asked me to do a memorial for her. This was not an avatar, this was a real life granddaughter and I can't begin to imagine the depth of the loss felt by the family. I hope this helps bring them some comfort and peace. Blessings and much love, Lavia

As promised I wrote a tutorial on what I use to create 3d clothing. Whenever I learn something I have always been open and shared it with anyone who asked and also through tutorials seen at Hypergrid Business: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/author/marianna-monentes...

This helps to build a supportive and collaborative community where everyone can learn and grow together. Sharing knowledge and skills can lead to new ideas, innovations, and collaborations, which can benefit everyone involved. I know this, I hope you know it too.

The park - isn't it pretty? Isn't it wonderful-wonderful?
It would be, if it weren't for the unicorn with the flatulence - and the rainbow only looks good from outside...

Der Park - ist er nicht hübsch? Ist er nicht wunder-wunderschön?
Er wäre es wohl, wenn da nicht das Einhorn mit den Blähung stünde - und auch der Regenbogen sieht nur von außen gut aus...

When Art Inspires Art!! Kimm Starr, amazing Animesh creator was inspired by our world, AI Dreams in Art, especially our Gothic gallery, and gifted us, 2 amazing Goth Animesh, male and female...We are offering them too, as gifts on our world.

I was incredibly inspired after visiting their Art Installation and hope you were too!" Kimm Star is creator of Virtual Vignette Animesh, available on the Kitely Market. Take a peek here and come see the whole gallery for yourselves! Thank you Kimm! You are just amazing!

There are still a few days left to enjoy summer season in Novale before we close down to install autumn. We received the HG Safari crowd a few days ago. Take a look at the very nice and detailed blog entry by Thirza Ember https://hgsafari.blogspot.com/2022/09/creanovale-in-summer... to get a feeling for the region.

Here is the "guestbook" of Stella Polaris: click on one of the closed geodes- then it opens and your name is immortalized as hovertext above it...

Another look I like. Ruth2 RC3 mesh body with my own hair, skin, and shape as in the earlier post. Clothes and shoes from the Kitely Market. Blouse is by Rune, leather pants are by Dadiellas, and my favorite boots came from Dollys, which has since closed due to constant fighting with the never buy in opensim crowd. She got tired of it and left opensim, closing all her stores.

I just wanted to party in opensim, hang out with friends, and make nice stuff that I could sell to pay for my land. I never wanted this fight but it came to my door anyway. If there are those who want give away a bunch of stuff stolen from SL then that's their decision, I'm not going to call them out over it - that's a bigger question for people far more important than I am in Opensim to grapple with. But I'm not going to let anyone dictate what I can and can't do with my own creations.

"I Am So".
Whether it's inattention, inertia, ineptitude, or some other kind of in-thing, all too many people are lacking a profile picture. Are you to be counted among these unfortunates? Or perhaps you have grown tired of your profile picture and are looking for something a bit more...different.

Problem solved. Come to our new Profile Picture Shop where you have your choice of countless (mainly because I'm too lazy to count) interesting, intriguing, inexplicable, or some other kind of in-thing, profile pictures.

Some call me weird, to which I say, "I am so!" These pictures may be suitable for display in your home if not your profile. Whatever the case, just be ready to say, "I am so!"

Visit the new Profile Picture Shop, especially if you are bored and have nothing better to do. (Which is kinda why I made the shop!)

Another word on ZetaWorlds due to a recent discussion on OSW.

I decided to move Stark to ZetaWorlds some time ago for a couple of reasons.
Firstly, I wanted a professional grid hosted by IT professionals who know what they're doing, because I don't want to mess around with all the technical stuff. I just want to build and have fun. So I'm willing to pay for a sim if I get a stable and reliable service in return.
Secondly, if I have to pay for the service, I want to know who is behind the grid. I would never transfer money to an anonymous person. I have no problem with transferring my real data so that the company, which is registered in the commercial register, can issue flawless invoices.
Thirdly, I live in Germany. As a German, I feel better if I can use a German service like ZetaWorlds, which has to adhere to the legal requirements of my country.

In the discussions about grids and how this is handled with hypergrid access, I think they are comparing apples with oranges. A commercial, professionally operated grid has higher challenges to overcome and is obliged to guarantee a flawless service to its paying customers. In contrast, the operator of a private grid, often hosted on his own PC, can do whatever he wants. If it breaks down at some point, that's just the way it is. The tenants are simply out of luck. With a commercial grid, I can demand the service by law. These are two completely different things that are often forgotten.

To all those who feel the desperate desire to criticize my build based on religious idiology and not artistic creativity, please read the little attachment on this post and be aware, the next clown that does it will have their post deleted as well. I am NOT here to argue religion and I don't give a rat's ass what you do or don't believe. I'm here to create beauty based on a historical city described in the Bible that was built by probably the most famous King in history, I am not here to indoctrinate, convert or criticize so if that's your game, kindly play it elsewhere because I don't have time for your bullshit. My beliefs are mine based on 60 years of research and I don't care one inkling of a little bit if you agree or not so please keep your argumentative, judgemental, holier than thou posts to yourself and stay off my page.
