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 :)

'Stella Polaris' opened in 2020 in Kroatan, but as you can see, she is now beautifying Offworld.
The bubbles above the rocks contain images and landmarks to other beautiful regions in Offworld.

Die Seifenblasen über den Felsen enthalten Bilder und Landmarken zu anderen schönen Regionen in Offworld.

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.

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.

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 :).

The Art Factory is about art and artists. At The Art Factory, we display art; we appreciate art; we learn about art; and, we promote art. We have over a dozen galleries dedicated to in-world artists, where they show their innovative creations. As such, we are continuing our feature - Meet the Artist. This week, we interviewed Antonia Ling, owner of Antonia Ling Gallery, Inspired By Gallery, Metropolis Poster Shop, and a 2001 themed gallery.

Antonia, tell us about yourself and your art.
“It's not easy to talk about myself. What have I to say about my person? Not much... really. I like photography and I like to photograph. I love to photograph old churches when I'm in Denmark. Or ships in the harbor... often details. Not the big ones, I prefer little old boats of the local fishermen. I like to photograph old cars and colorful flowers. I love art from the 1920s to today, I love a lot of the german BAUHAUS and their Master like Kandinsky, Alberts or Lazlo Moholy-Nagy.”

What are you doing currently?
“I try to photograph a bit. At the moment I deal with cyanotype. It fascinates me...”

What is your inspiration for art in world?
“I do what I do because I like to do it. When one in a million likes it... I'm happy.”

Thank you so much for your interview, Ms. Ling. We love your ongoing contributions to The Factory.

It's really not that hard to be ranked #4 on OpenSim when you plant 8 avatars in your region and just keep them there. I really think that is being very deceitful and skewing the OpenSim numbers to raise yourself in the rank. Regions that have been found to have avatars that are just put there 24/7 should have the region deleted and it should not be allowed. Not only is this grid owner stealing people's regions but now they are lying about who is actually occupying their region to raise themselves in the ranks. Awful!

Come for the freebies. Stay for the sites! Take your time exploring this beautiful sim, filled with picturesque views, large forests, rivers, lakes, waterfalls, and beaches. Don't forget to visit Santa along the way.

JAPANESE MAPLE TREES PACK with animated leaves ** FREE and FULL PERM ** Available at BOX 02 at FOREST AREA (ground). Many options of trees sizes and seasonal textures (spring, summer, 8 kinds of autumn and 2 for winter). Also included leaf particles rezer for this time of year. Enjoy :)

SIX KINDS of sculpted wild grasses and weeds for ur place! ALL FREE and FULLPERM at GARDEN AREA BOX 01 with seasonal textures (and this time I put the standart size and also the reduced 128x128 pixels one that helps reduce graphic lag when many are rezed).

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

A statement:

This is a world for avatars. If you put your avatar face in the profile, instead of the standard default picture, you get much more reactions and attention for your posts here in the forum. A standard profile picture does not specifically encourage you to open an account and take a closer look. If a profile is not maintained, the contributions and grid are usually the same. It takes effort, patience and perseverance to get people on his grid. Action = reaction. This is never quick! ;-)

Eine Feststellung:

Das hier ist eine Welt für Avatare. Wenn Du Dein Avatar Gesicht ins Profil gibst, an Stelle des Standardes Vorgabe Bildes, bekommst Du wesentlich mehr Reaktionen und Aufmerksamkeit für Deine Posts hier im Forum. Ein Standard Profil Bild animiert nicht speziell einen Account zu öffnen und näher anzusehen. Wenn ein Profil nicht gepflegt wird, sind meistens auch die Beiträge und Grid so. Um Leute auf sein Grid zu bringen, braucht es Anstrengung, Geduld und Ausdauer. Aktion = Reaktion. Das geht nie auf die schnelle! ;-)

⚠️ Opensim: Free as in Freedom ⚠️ NOT Free-For-ALL ⚠️

TIME FOR A FRESH SERVING OF OPENSIM TRUTH!
FEEL FREE to share this TRUTH with others when necessary =D

There could be a potential trigger warning here but I expect most people will will agree with the sentiment illustrated in this article.

FACT: Opensimulator is free and Open Sourced Software, licensed under the BSD. This gives you a multitude of freedoms! You can change the software, you can share your changes, sell your changes or even use the software in any means you feel is morally or socially responsible. It even includes security features some of your visitors might not like if you use them.

FACT: That means if Opensim gives you, the grid operator freedom, that means you get to decide how end users will experience your work. You can deny entry to troublemakers or entire grids. There is nothing in the Opensim documentation which tells you NOT to do this AND if the developers did not want people using these features, they would not have been included in the first place.

FACT: I saw someone leave some negativity on a region because they were not allowed to run scripts or do their petty deeds upon landing on a foreign grid. Their reasoning: 'Everything must be free and open in Opensim'.

To this special brand of simpleton I say: Opensim is free, just not in the way you think. Opensimulator is NOT a free-for-all. Grid operators are NOT under any obligation to PLEASE YOU. If you do not like the way someone runs their grid, DO NOT GO! Spreading vitriol over a situation you have absolutely no control over is an excellent way to lose friends fast. Don't be angry over a MMO game.

FACT: When traveling hypergrid destinations you need to remember one thing: YOU ARE A GUEST, someone is providing you with a visual experience at their expense. When you go to someone's grid you are expected to obey their rules, much the same way if you were to visit someone in real life. If you crash the party, started a fight or broke something you are asked to leave.

SOLUTION: Know what you are getting into: Read the description before visiting these worlds, an honest person will let you know what to expect up front. Some grids do not have public shopping malls, each world tailored to a theme; there is no ONE SET OF RULES every grid must follow, that is NOT FREEDOM.

OPERATORS: Enjoy the freedom OPENSIMULATOR software gives you and make all or your dreams a reality.

GRIFTERS: Some ART is meant to be SEEN not TAKEN, so wipe your feet and put on a smile before entering the transit beam. You will probably enjoy your visit a whole lot more.

TL,DR: Opensim may be free as in freedom but that does not mean operators are required to run the software in a free-for-all fashion. Those who do not like it can always opt for another socialization platform OR pound digital sand.

OPENSIM IS FREE - SERVERS AND RESOURCES ARE NOT, GRID
OPERATORS AND CONTENT CREATORS NEED YOUR SUPPORT
