Thank you @Lillysparks I will check it out. I like old school. I have tons of dragons myself I have collected over the years. What I am looking for is this same/similar look of the build and the actions of the dragon. I believe this is a hologram in the video. Again, thank you for the info and link. I am excited to check it out!

I have been wearing her shoes for years. I hope she makes some more cute shoes. A girl can never have too many! Thanks for letting us know Thirza.

So have I, so has Juno.

Speaking of whom, if you can't pick up the Rinestone boots at La Baronnie, try asking Taarna, and she may give you the full set. If that fails, ask me, and I'll ask my sister or show you where I keep them.

That sounds like a very dodgy pickup line...'let me show you where I keep my rinestones'

I am going through my trees for a landscaping project and I have a bunch of 21Strom trees. I will look to see if there is anything else related in other folders now that I realize I have those. How can I get them to you?

The cemetery is so well done, as you walk through it, you feel like you are there. The beauty of building in a Virtual world is you can take some artistic license to make your vision come to life as you see fit. The world you are building here is an actual work of art with a sprinkle of Magik thrown in! I can't wait to see it all when it is finished and witnessing it come to life is a privilege. I am very proud of the work you have put into building this!

I love it! This is my favorite time of year. Sadly, a lot of it is not set for copy or buy and seems to be just decor to be admired. Which I surely do and why I wish I could get it. Still, there is tons of stuff you can get. Creatively awesome!
Edit: I found all the boxes full of Halloween stuff. I am hoping the thing I wanted is inside one of them, though I didn't get them all.
Thank you for all that you do, throughout the whole year.

hmm in comparison to all the things he offeres "a lot" is not the right word.."a few" fits better for me and that is alright!

hello Star..thank you for your nice comment ,really appreciated. The only things you cant buy are the items I bought myself .Like Wolftones, Sandersons, a spooky tree..all other items should be copy. Please tell me which item you want and then I can tell you if I only forgot to set it to copy (or not) :-)

Thomas, you are welcome. The content you make available to the community is invaluable and appreciated. Off the top of my head, the "scene" is the guy throwing apples? at a guy in a pillory. I can't think of the other stuff, but I picked up a bunch of boxes I am going through and maybe it will be in one of them. Forgetting to set up buy or copy is understandable. It is a lot of stuff!! The whole place is amazing! Your creative vision is outstanding! Thank you so much for all you do.

Those cool things are probably found at Kitely. Cheap too, considering the work put into them.

I have never shopped at Kitely. Perhaps I will check it out sometime. Once I can unclench my fist around my dollars. :)

I had no trouble registering from the website and I joined the Discord server with no issues. I plan on being a volunteer for some hours and a Hostess for some time and helping out in any way I can. I thought about exhibiting, but I think I will leave that for others since I have never been involved in something like this and want to see what it is all about and experience the whole thing by helping as well as attending. Maybe next year I can do more and have an exhibit myself. (shrugs) Lily just keep trying. Maybe do a restart on your computer? Don't give up!!

Love your work Marianna and it is practically the only jewelry I wear. I second the motion for Luna to give a texturing class. I know that will be a lot of work to pull it together and I am willing to help in any way possible to make it happen. It would be an honor to learn from you, my friend. Marianna probably has just the place for us to meet up. I hope you will consider it Luna. I bet some other folks would be interested too.

Thank you Star, while meeting up would be nice it would be better if the tutorial is published either at my website or here at OSW as an article so people in the future can see it too. I have a few how-to docs about it does require lots of planning for the doc to be concise. I work with Blender with models and such and did learn tips on texturing. My problem has always been in marking the seams with jewelry it is hard. So when I began in SL you will see that jewelry was texture mapped, when I came to OpenSim I got a bit lazy about it because even though I went through all of the steps to map it correctly the final result didn't look much different until you see Fred Beckhusen's gold wow. Luna too creates beautiful gold. I know that with the specular maps, it helps with shine but it is the Lighting that makes it look meh but with the new PBR technology it will be exciting to see gold with PBR enabled.

https://gyazo.com/fc2c6725016060fbc03e1c633472a2ea This shows how I do the curves I did this quickly so they are a bit thick, RhinoGold is much quicker and easier for me to work in. I can do curves and extrude in Blender too but it is much easier in RhinoGold https://youtu.be/gAWkKImmjzM This video shows how I begin creating the ring, this is a bit different ring but is the same idea. When I get my curves built I then polar array them around the band.

Odd that this didn't post with the region link. This is the address: grid.genesis-roleplay.org:8002:The Land of Xzar

Or click on my name and you will see The Land If Xzar is listed as my region, click on that and you will get to the page for the region with the various TPs for it.

I think we creative types are AFK a lot. Once I get in the zone of creating something, I could get messages from 10 different people and not see one of them. It happens and I am sure they understand. This ring is stunning!

I honestly can not relate to this, I do spend hours in the creative zone but nobody knows I exist so I never get messages

I know you exist thank you for creating all that you do. When I "came to" the local chat was "Hello Mari thank you for the beautiful jewelry" and then "Mari?" "Hey Mari!" then "I don't think she is here." So I wanted to acknowledge them.

ok maybe some people know I exist. but I am certainly of little to no value to anyone. I honestly know I do not matter.

In a world teeming with existential questions and an insatiable desire for cosmic validation, one question stands out like a cosmic eye glinting in the vast expanse of space: Do we, mere Earthlings, truly matter in the grand scheme of the universe? Enter the quantum realm, where things get weird enough to rival your Uncle Bob's conspiracy theories. Some suggest that the act of observing a particle changes its behavior. Applying this to our existence, we could argue that the universe only takes form because we're here to observe it. In other words, without us, the universe would be like a Netflix series nobody's streaming – does it even exist if no one's watching?

Diva actually passed away in Dec 2019. She never saw the pandemic happen. People keep saying the wrong date, so I wanted to correct it. I was actually with her inworld the night before she passed. So I know for sure 2019 is the correct year. Thank you. RIP my dear friend. We all miss you! People still talking about you! :) She would be so happy and humbled to know folks still shop at her stores. Thank Danny.

Thank you Pagane. That is very sweet of you to say. (((HUGS))) The Neverworld avi has her eyebrows messed up for some reason and all three have the same classic body, same eyes, bom for eyebrows, etc. though the shapes are probably slightly different as I am always messing with it on my main Avatar, which is the one on Genesis and then forget to pass it along to the others. :) The Lagniappe grid I am spending a lot of time on as it is a new grid owned by my sister. Love both grids and people on them! Neverworld Avatar is the oldest, almost 3 years! Lovely grid. As for avatars and fake sims and statistics, I don't care about those things. I never care what people think of me either. Love me, hate me, or be indifferent. I am who I am and I always march to the beat of my own drum. And I try my best to be kind to even the rudest people on this planet. When my days here are done, all these things won't matter, What will matter is if I left this place better somehow. :) I hope you have a fantabulous day/night. Come see me!!

Oni I am sorry to hear this. You have a home in my region any time you want. I don't usually have people stay on my land, but you are forever welcome. You can even live in a castle if you want. Or a shack. Whatever suits you. :) Thank you for all you have done for Open Sim. Just YOU don't leave us. Best of luck on your next adventure.
