UPDATE: FOUND A BACKUP

So silly me screwed up the region and accidently placed another oar in its place. i am hoping there is a backup somewhere. so for now i have put the base oar of this down for now.

Thank you Juno Rowland sister of Jupiter for coming by and giving me suggestions on my newly created content. I had several mistakes that needed to be corrected and the help she gave was immeasurable. Even though I try to catch the mistakes and I double triple-check, I still find them so thank you very much for checking me. Some of my content is Copy only because the texture I used the TOS states it cannot be set to mod/trans. While I do create many of the textures myself, some I have purchased too, so those textures I have to honor the TOS. I added the Classic Closet to the Monentes store too so there are now two locations. I plan on adding more content as I can, while my content is not ripped and maybe not the fanciest stuff, it is different content you will not see rubber stamped all over the HG. I put in the store when I had a need for Classic Clothing and since I offered it in the past I thought why the hell not? To those who like what I create thank you, to those who find fault in it you probably always will cause I am just an ordinary creator that makes a ton of mistakes! The new Classic Closet is now at the Monentes Jewelry store too~

Just a reminder that Virtual Beach is in start smart. if you click a region on the teleport board or via map, give it time to load and transport you before clicking again or another region. once you click, it will tell you the seconds to load and then will say teleporting you.

My first feeble attempt at making a bed. I need to find the sleep pose ball for it and it'll be ready to go. Hopefully I'll learn to do more and nicer things. This will be available at our mall region in the furniture portion. Good thing it's free because I doubt anybody would pay for it LOL. Blessings and much love, Lavia.

Hello Hella,

We are so happy to have you join our community of artists at the Art Factory. Your images are hauntingly beautiful. What is the inspiration for your art?

“About my inspiration it's about the feeling in a present situation, always in the NOW, we can call this "états d'âmes" in French, "states of mind" in English ? “

Your art is a visual representation of current feelings and moods? That is so interesting. Do you have other galleries or exhibits in OpenSim or in Second Life?

“For my art in physical life, it's another route that I don't mix with virtual worlds.
For the photos, which relate only to life in SL and Opensim, I only exhibit on Flickr and in Opensim. Many captures, come from the world of SL and since 6 months, taken in Opensim.”

I have followed your Flickr for a long time now and look forward to seeing your posts. Hella, what do you enjoy about your art inworld?

“Art changes my frequency and makes my life a dream. In the virtual world as in life, practicing an art is a pure expression of oneself and it feels good to do good :)”

Ernest and I are overjoyed to have you join the Art Factory community. Would you tell our readers how you got involved in the project?

“Art Factory is the first place I visited that challenged me, I took some pictures from elsewhere that I put on Flickr, months ago. The Thirza Safari Tour allowed me to rediscover the Art Factory region and to meet Ellen and Ernest "in person", I had had some contact with Ellen on Opensimworld, I was happy to meet Ellen and Ernest :)”

Thank you for taking the time for this interview, Hella. And welcome to the Art Factory community!

Visited Tropicana Bird's Nest, it's well done.
Then I met this guy. But he said he isn't Wolfman Jack. I don't belive him. I'm sure... he is!

According to our Observatory experts, many visitors crash when trying to teleport to Novale. This would seem to be related to a known bug, a conflict between Firestorm viewer and Vivox.
Good news, there is a way to go around it : prior to teleport to Novale, go to your preferences/Sound&Media/Voice and diseable Voice.
Try it and let us know if it works for you !

Just a touchy-feely ... a friend of mine wanted to know about an online witch-coven, I would consider building it, to help her out.... just want an opensim feedback first... please leave your comments

My computer fried apparently, while I was yet again having a wrestling match with death. It seems I won yet again! haha! :) I am trying to fix PC but still mostly in wheelchair ATM, n outta money currently. I apologize guys n gals. I am so very sorry my worlds are down. I dunno if I see well enough to overhaul my 96 Gb dual 6 core workstation, or no, but I/when I get me debt down with a now 1k a month income, and 18k of debt... lol :O I will certainly TRY HARD to fix it, and get worlds back up. Prayers, love, hugs, and high 5's everyone. Be well, be happy. :)

I just placed a new Mesh Avatar in the Rigged Avatar Store-Free-Full perms. Please meet Lil Col Sanders, Sanders in his youth lol, I created this avatar one year as my Halloween costume to trick or treat at @Jamie Anna Wright region. It was such the fun night that I thought I would offer him. He comes with a crispy attitude! You can find the Rigged avatar store here continuum.outworldz.net:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/336/323/32

You can use the steam powered boats to explore via the massive water ways or ascend to the Conservatory and use the public balloons offered for guests to float over this beautiful region. You can go to the main dock and start an Adventure Quest to Mysterious Island and win a great prize or explore the undersea beauty of Mermaids of the Mists. There is a hidden cavern under the Graveyard, with some interesting challenges! There is no need to be bored in your virtual life, when Phantom Rose Grid offers many interactive activities 24/7! Hop to Steam via Opensimworld, or use your viewer and paste in: http://PhantomRose.Outworldz.net:8002, which brings you to the public Welcome Region. From there you can use the Interdimensional Portal (IDP) to travel throughout the Grid.

Celebrating Jails Everywhere?
I joke around a lot, but, as unbelievable as it may seem, this not a joke. According a business blog, the "National Play Monopoly Day" is a time for families to gather together to play the game that celebrates "Park Place, Boardwalk, and the jails located anywhere in the world". WTF? Celebrating jails?

This new outfit at oh HELLO only celebrates fun, fashion, and, ironically, anti-capitalism. (It's free). Smash the State and Storm the Bastille in style with this Monopoly themed skirt, graffiti top and "wild heart" platform boots.

This is a beautiful Heart Bezel solitaire in Ruby. It is bento rigged so it increased the LOD it is a bit heavy. The mesh was reduced 50% prior to rigging too. For those that demand bento, and to the ones who scream at me for being heavy, I have to say, sorry but had to do it!! You can find it in the Bento rings section in the Foyer.
