Well, I released a novelty item today. Every once in a while (well, maybe more often than that) I get obsessed with something goofy. I always thought stick men were cute, don't know why, I just do. So, I made animesh and avatar stick people. There are regular ruth size and also tiny versions. I put them on the second floor of the shop building right in front of the elevator. They are dancing in the landing zone purely for my entertainment :).
Well, it's been a while since I had a new release. I've been RL busy, busy and getting the garden ready for winter.
I know it's a little early for this one but before we know it the holidays will be upon us! I've put out pointsettias with and without pots in the Xmas section of the shop. They come in Red, Pink and White. Textures and all variations are included in the box.
It's time for a classic.

I've put out the Acapulco Chairs in the centre of the outdoor shop next to the beach area.

The thing about these chairs is you can use them outside on the patio and they work great but you can also add some cool to your house by using them inside.

There are 4 colours in the box ready to go, scripted with sfposer for girls and boys. I've included the textures in case you would like to do some modding. The silver version works great for tinting different colours. Just tint the two seat faces.

Have fun and be cool... :)

I've made an addition to the Enchanted section of the shop this morning.

They are possibly mysterious however if nothing else, they do make a statement. The Boba flowers grow in 5 different colors and have 4 different versions.
One version is scripted with SF Poser in case you would like to actually be "among" the flowers....or you just need extra seating at a garden party.

Textures are included, check the enclosed notecard for which model has them inside.

If you have some space to fill and you want it really full....these are the flowers for you.

Aaack: Those are biiiiiiiig flowers, do they need some blood to grow that big? =DDD 2 years ago
The Lantern of the Glen has just been put out in the enchanted section of the shop.

I needed something for the garden that was a little more fanciful than a street lamp.
It comes in iron or bronze with different leaf and glass versions as well. I'm afraid I got a bit carried away with the versions. I do like to have choices :D

It has also got a master/slave light script version in addition to one that's a manual menu script. Details are on the notecard inside the box along with the textures.

Have an excellent day!

Jupiter Rowland: I can relate to getting carried away. I need one tailor-made shelf for a store, I end up making 32. Juno needs a skin, I have to limit myself in order to not make more than 138 skins. But hey, maybe ... 2 years ago
When I was building my home sims, I discovered I needed rocks and well, I couldn't find what I wanted. Hence, I made rocks and a sky island, I also made some for the beach with flat tops for sunbathing. You never know where you will want to sunbathe.
Today I've added to the Enchanted section of the shop.

The "Crando" flowers are well, perhaps not flowers? They are just a little different, maybe more like weird and definitely colourful.

There are 3 shapes and all the textures are included (details on the notecard). The models all have separate faces for the centre, the pistols and the stem so you can customize, mix and match or make your own textures.

They could have some other worldly or magic powers however they have only proven their ability to glow and stand out from the other plants.

Have a nice day!

Thirza Ember: Fully moddable Crando! awesome 2 years ago
Well, since I made the "Enchanted" section at the shop, I feel like I need to put new things in it. This always happens, I end up on a theme for a while (cough, cough polar bears).

So, I give you Magical Mushrooms (no, not those kind of mushrooms, that's another theme).

These Fungi have the power to be tree size and come in several variations including versions with 2 spore color choices.
All the textures are in the box for those who like to customize :).

Have a magical day!
Ho Ho Ho....or is it Ha Ha Ha. Poor Santa, it looks like he tried to go down the chimney of a tiny house or possibly they fluffed the red suit too much at the cleaners; in any case, dude is stuck in the chimney. He's going to be there a while so you might as well use him as seasonal decor :D! He's in the Christmas section of the Shop, 2 versions, one with and one without snow at the base.
Another Brrrrry release at the shop. At least this time something that will warm you up.
I've put out a winter log seat with SFposer for sitting by the campfire. When you need to feel toasty but still want to be outside. Campfire included of course :).
Winter is here, Yay! Well, yay for some :).
I have a new release today, fairly whimsical; Polar Bear Ceiling Lights. They were made as ceiling lights and they are resizable. I did a large version separately as the automatic light script had to be adjusted for the life size bears.
There are automatic and manual light scripts in the regular size lights, you can delete the auto script in the large ones and put in the manual if you like.
I have a couple of more ideas for the bears that will be out soon.
Have a beary nice day!
It was bound to happen sooner or later but I ended up making a weed.
Fluffy dandelions are out by the landing zone. They have several versions and particle fluff (wind enabled of course haha). The pieces are included separate so you can have with or without the floaty fluff and leaves etc.

Birch trees, great for making furniture and a favorite of beavers everywhere. 2 options, a tree and clump both in summer and fall textures.

One of the fountains available at the shop. They all have the water sounds but just touch them to turn it off if you prefer.

Today I've released my last addition to the Fairies and Sprites of the Glen.

The Sprites of the Glen with Magic are now out in the enchanted section of the shop.
These like the other 2 versions come in 5 colours and this time they have a little extra trail of light that flashes around them (it's magic ;)).
I don't believe these are any more mischievous than the others however they insisted they were, it's probably just because their feelings were hurt because they were last to go out, I'm sure they'll get over it.

They are animesh and directions on set up are on the enclosed notecard.

Have a fantastical day!

Aaack: Yay more fairies!!! I'll get the bug zapper! "Honey! guess what we'll have for dinner!!" 2 years ago
My apologies for the repost, I was trying to edit the post not delete it :( I got click happy.

Fairy of the Glen is available in the fantasy section of the shop. They are animesh with 5 styles to choose from.

Scripts are thanks to Arcadia Shop. Directions on activation are included in the box

The fairies float and fly around fluttering their wings. The animations are in a different order for each fairy in order to avoid synching if you put out more than one.

They add a little action wherever they are.

Have a great day!

River: The fairies are very beautiful and I love the animations! Thank you, Bibiana!! 2 years ago
Hi everyone and Happy New Year!

In the spirit of new beginnings, today I did a small renovation at Encantada.
Things were getting crowded in the spring/summer area and well, I've started work on some "Fantasy" items. I didn't have a good spot for them so I've made a new area for "Enchanted" items.
I've moved just a few things over there already and will have a new release in the next couple of days.
I'll be keeping Halloween in the fall area and Easter in the spring area for now.

Hope you have a great start to 2022 :)

Yay! OSG is back online and I've got another Polar Bear release. These bears work well outside like street lamps however, they are heavier meshes than the regular street lamps so you might not want to rez like 50 of them. I'm using them in a winter area as lamps for feature spots. As with the ceiling lamps they have 3 different bears and automatic or manual light scripts.

Another fountain at the shop, the Deco Fountain. This one is small and handy for adding movement in more confined spaces like courtyards and things.

Yesterday somebody said to me "remember, it's only 21 weeks until Christmas". I thought, wow, you must really love the holidays. In any event, since a lot of people may really like Christmas, here is an appropriately themed item from the shop :). It's a snow globe with a tiny toy train travelling around a Christmas tree. You can turn the train on and off with a click. It resizes just fine too so it works even when it's huge ;). The train is also available separately.

A classic in any garden, elegant garden urns in 2 finishes. They work as decor on their own or with plants. I can't remember a time when these couldn't be found in most garden centres.

If you've got water, ponds, swamps or even wet ditches, some bullrushes can come in handy. They come in 3 sizes of groups depending on the amount of space you want to cover. There are also individuals, so they can work in almost any area.

Old Hickory trees. Summer and Fall, they are in their respective sections at the shop in separate boxes because they are so far apart. Excellent hardwoods...well, if they weren't virtual ;).

Well, even though it's summer in the north, it can still get chilly in the evening. I've just released a fire table to keep toasty at night and hey, roast marshmallows in style. It comes with 2 stone choices, this one co ordinates with the sail shade base.

I've always enjoyed using water features in my landscaping. I made these water lilies to add some movement and colour to ponds or fountains.

I thought I would post a pic of one of my favorite builds. It's the elevator in my shop building. I haven't put it out to take since it's quite specific to it's location and unfortunately it wouldn't modify well. You can however ride up and down on it thanks to some nice scripting by my friend Aaack at Arcadia. There is even a little "ding" noise when it arrives at it's destination. Someday there will even be items on the second floor...
I was getting ready for this years OSgrid 14th Birthday exhibit and pulled out some things I had made last year. I found these balloons I made that spell out happy birthday and play the birthday song while giving out a few fireworks. I thought, hey, that's festive and you never know when you're going to need birthday decorations (well, I suppose you do given the annual occurrence of birthdays :D).
They are out in the shop building and ready to party. Touch them for the song and display.

A while back I made a simple beach hut, somewhere to get out of the sun. It looks great with Arcadia's rattan dining set and tiki torches!

I once read that there are over 70 species of Hydrangeas. At Encantada, for now, there's only 1. There are however 4 colours :D

I made some kitchen cupboards a while ago, mostly because I only found cupboards in set configurations. These are modular with 2 colour choices, silver or gold handles and scripted doors and drawers. I've included all the textures and occlusion maps in case anyone wants to make their own textures.

I couldn't resist making this sculpture.

Well, Easter is almost here! I've made some decorated eggs on stands to add to the festivities.

The textures are included in the Peter Rabbit Egg. You can use them as is or mod them for different coloured stands or eggs. I have them on display as room size but you can of course mod them to any size from table top to giant :).
It all really depends on the size of the chickens and Easter bunnies I suppose :D.

Have a fabulous day!!

Well, this morning I've put out a new fountain at the shop.

The Dolphin Fountain has 2 models. One with and one without lights, also, the sound is owner touch on and off in case you find it annoying.

The fountain is surprisingly easy to move considering it's made out of bronze and concrete :D and it's perfect for those who like something fishy around their home.

No dolphins were harmed in the production of this fountain.

Well, in the event you need more animesh shaking and moving; today I'm releasing the Bubble Sprite.

They don't have wings, but they've got bubbles. Like the fairies, they have 5 outfit/color choices and various animations in different orders with a Sprite hover added for more variety.
I put them out next to the fairies and so far there's been no arguments, I'm still hoping they won't eventually turn on each other :D.

Scripts are thanks to Aaack at Arcadia Shop :)

Have a fabulous day!




Pink Myst: I love them they are wonderful I am tickled Pink lol thank you so much 2 years ago
Well, the enchanted section of the shop officially has it's first new item, also, my first release of 2022.

I made a dryad tree with several versions, with and without lights in different colors, particles and ivy etc. The leaves and lights have a bit of animation and the particles blow in the wind ;). There are quite a few of those combinations in the box and I included all the textures in case anyone wants to mod things. I've seen a few dryads around VWs and always thought it would be a fun thing to make.

Have a magical day!

Well, I made the male goldfinch and afterwards I felt like I really should have done the female as well. So, I did. My apologies to anyone that took the box yesterday, I added the females to the same box. I just felt like he looked lonely.
A new release today. A very tiny one...it's a little goldfinch. I never made a bird before but I thought the bird bath perhaps needs one and maybe I'll be doing some other bird related things. This guy is in 2 versions, flat feet for the ground and feet to perch on branches and things. He also comes with and without random finch sounds. He's at the main shop by the bird bath of course :)
New release today. I was intending to make these flowers for a while and finally did them. Day Lilies and "Tiger" Lilies. In my garden, the flowers I call Tiger Lilies are really just larger Day Lilies. The real Tiger Lilies are different, I know, but I named them as I knew them :).
Summer is still here but, eventually, it will be FALL! Pretty trees will be upon us, for a few weeks anyway. The Maples have some fall colour and a few particle falling leaves, ground leaves as well.
I was walking by them this morning and thought, hey, why not post pumpkins and Jack O Lanterns on the 4th of July......I don't know, it was like they were speaking to me, the Jack O Lanterns will mock you if you touch them.
The cone flower as I call them or "echinacea" the official name. Apparently the name echinacea is from the Greek word meaning sea urchin due to the flowers' center. They're perennial so no need to replant each year (especially the virtual variety).
