Monentes Jewelry

I had the pleasure of attending one of Gertie's sets. What I loved the most about her was her upbeat and exuberant personality. I wanted to create something to remember her by. This charm bracelet has a music note with her name. Free-Full Perms

Created a Harvest Ring for those who celebrate harvest and being thankful. Grape clusters and rose leaves, diamond solitaire, in center of the store where I have the PBR jewelry. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

When creating my metal for jewelry I found @FredFerderix Outworldz Metal Plates, these give the best effects on metal wow. These work well with ceilings too https://outworldz.com/cgi/free-seamless-textures.plx?c=Met...
(this is not PBR) just using Binn-Phong

I had some time to play with PBR thank you @FerdFrederix for suggesting I try it, and as you can see it makes the jewelry look so much better!! Nice! But that means I have my work cut out for me, I have lots of jewelry to update. I will have a PBR section at the store, keeping the old classic textures because not all grids support PBR, this is the first piece I will get it in the store today sometime, Celtic Knot Picture Locket.

Grid Hiccups today, I apologize will be back online soon I apologize to @Lillysparks who is so kind to share the surfboard rezzer and wave, I hoped we could get it installed today, sorry Lilly I was so excited! Back soon!

Was telling Ferd Frederix that I had created bubblegum but could not remember what script it was I used. He said Oh! I know that one and he passed me this cool bubblegum, I wanted to share it with all of you. It is in the Monentes Jewelry store foyer on the little table. virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry Thank you Ferd, now I can chew gum and kick ass, instead of just kicking ass!

How many of you have wanted to install Marvelous Designer only to find how expensive it is? Me too, I had it at one time and loved it. I made a skirt that I still have and wanted to try creating clothing again so researched and found a great "Garment Tool" addon for blender it is only 40 USD and works just like Marvelous Designer! I am learning it now so wish me luck lol this is where to purchase it! https://bartoszstyperek.gumroad.com/l/GarmentTool

The first snow, before the leaves fall...snowy aspen. It is free/full perms so that you can take to Blender and play with it. I created it last year and if I remember correctly I decimated it but I could be wrong...land impact 3 This is in the Monentes Jewelry foyer continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry I created the tree in Blender then I used the "Real Snow" addon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCjOa_cuhPY it is a fun tool!

I placed this Pumpkin Hot Air Balloon free and full perms for you at the Monentes Jewelry store. You will need to add a touring script there are a few available please choose what works best for you. You will find it in an orange box in the foyer.

New and Improved steampunk lamp for your desk, please find it in the Monentes Store foyer. Or you can upload one too from this creator: https://www.blenderkit.com/asset-gallery-detail/a34a71d6-a...

I just placed the Nature's Embrace Set out, Update** I fixed it, I had to make the stone really teeny and when I uploaded it in the meshmerizer I increased the size some and it worked. In the store Foyer, at Monentes Jewelry.

I have various circlets and tiaras created at the back of the store by the wedding rings. I was asked to create these when I first started creating jewelry and have loved them ever since; these are always so fun to create and look pretty when worn. three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

My friends in SL wanted me to upload jewelry for them so I went in and tried to load these, they cost 98L for the upload, and when they do upload they are huge! and you cannot reduce them down to fit the avatar, they are thick and ugly! I would first have to make them nano (more work plus the cost of upload) So I came back to OpenSim and uploaded them for FREE, which means I can give them FREE! And they are not thick and big or ugly they loaded just the way I created them. All yours in the Monentes store foyer! virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I love challenges, but my recent review mentioned that my belly button rings are not rigged for Athena. Athena is not a standard avatar shape so when rigging with Avastar it isn't quite right. My belly button rings are meant to attach to the belly for standard shapes. I just added a new Peace sign belly button ring that attaches to the standard avatar belly. I never say never, but this time I am - I don't want to take a ripped rig into blender to please my critics.

This is the set I am currently working on. I have the earrings in the store in Sapphire and Turquoise. I am still working on getting the choker in, playing with the convex hull, the earrings uploaded just fine, but the choker is being a bit tricky lol.

All the lockets are in the store now. I will make more soon because they are so fun to create. Look in the foyer on the little table. Thank you to Aloria and Fred you both gave me such an excellent challenge, it was fun! I have other chains too around the store you can add instead of the pearl chain. If you do please make sure the locket is linked last as this is the parent prim. If you would like to know how to make a locket that open and closes please read here: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

I had a request this morning asking me to make a ring for the Divas! Which made me smile, I do love the Divas!! This is the ultimate in cocktail rings, have a nice day today~virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I created a Marquee sign free to copy, inside the contents I placed other textures you can use for various Marquee Signs, and also you can add your own! The Marquee sign is in the Monentes store foyer.

I enjoy creating caged beads and thought it would be fun to create a little kit of a few caged beads, round and elongated beads so that you can create your own necklaces. You can also add these to your charm bracelets. I started you out with a few beads and will add more beads as I make them.

Created a Bee Band today, in honor of springtime and my love for bumblebees.
It has a resize script and it is not bento rigged, it would be too high LOD. In the foyer at Monentes Jewelry continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Those of you with Blender should add the Sketchfab addon. It saves steps from hopping from one website to Blender. With the addon is adding a sketchfab library to your Blender desktop. I have been using it to import high heels for my mesh avatars. It has been fun!

Christmastime all snowy and white, bundled up in my little cabin I think of all of you. The many friends I have made in opensim thank you for all the great times and laughter. We will be in a New Year soon, as Brad Paisley once said, "Tomorrow is the first blank page of a 365-page book. Write a good one." -Brad Paisley. It can be anything we desire. I love that! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!! Keep making opensim awesome!!

Skull Earring posts, for fun!! These are not joined so you can remove the skull and use in other decorations, the post too can be used for other earrings you might want to make. To my critics these have been decimated and reduced. Free and full perms, in the Monentes Jewelry foyer. continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Thank you FreyaJo8 for giving me inspiration. In the beginning when first learning to create jewelry I asked about rigging. It was suggested to me at the time to not rig because it gave to many issues like the necklace doesn't lay right but instead flops around unrealistically. So with that I shelved the idea of rigging and did not want the added expense of Avastar. So Freya commented that the rings float and don't lay right, so it prompted me to research again to see what is new with rigging. As it turns out there is a kit for Maitreya with mesh hands that are rigged so it is just a matter of placement of ring on model. I have MS so have a very hard time with dexterity and vision so getting it to place just right is the challenge for me but it is a new year with new goals and this is one. I will work hard at trying to get all "new" rings rigged, just please be patient with me :)
