Ice Sculptures by Rebeca Bashly (updated)
Only in Second Life…can you visit an art gallery filled with Ice Sculptures while it is tropical outside :). I visited Rebeca Bashly’s exhibit in UTSA (M), a permanent collection of lovely ice sculptures. Cool, in all ways…and specially nice when in midnight! (PS: yes, I editted this post. Rebeca told me it is not…
Liberty Cove
Liberty Cove is an amazing piece of art, created by Sextan Shepherd (developer of the former “Nemo” sim) and worth a visit, if you like mechanical wonders :). I used Torley’s Sci Fi Non-generic Fantasy Windlight settings for these pictures and took the time to admire the creations!
The Dark Swamp
The Dark Swamp is a perfect location for photoshoots! You hear frogs everywhere, a nice touch to the general, swampy ambiance. Lovely views! At the landingpoint you will find a modest shoppingmall with some nice shops that sell clothes, skins, artwork and gardensupplies. The buildings fit nicely in the theme of the sim. I discovered…
Anna’s Many Murders – by Bryn Oh
Anna’s Many Murders (G) is a typical Bryn Oh work; lovely and amazing. Mysterious and wonderfully detailed! Upon arrival you get offered a notecard with preferred windlightsetting, for the complete experience. I took the time, about 5 minutes, to set this up and then went off exploring. It’s the story of Anna…but hey…..go there yourself…
Musei di Roma Capitale – MIC
The MIC is a sim filled with impressive art installations! Easy to follow the path – on landing point you start the adventure by using the teleporter with the little red man. On every next spot you will find similar TP’s to continue your travel! I found it amazing and had a lovely morning, as…
World’s End Garden
World’s End Garden ~Noir et Blanc is an art installation, and even though it is under construction for some parts, it is still amazing! You land in a black environment with white waves, in the distance you see a shiny garden! The waves are rolling under your feet, a strange experience!
Split Screen
Nope, this post is not about using online social media on splitscreens (as Hootsuite or Splitweet) but about an art installation called Split Screen, meaning two art installations on a sim. On arrival you are advised to set your world to midnight, for full enjoyment! I did and explored the two (hence the Split) works…
Orangelo – Pop Art
Fridaynight..and after a nice, long nap on the sofa I went to visit Orangelo (M). A colorful sim, filled with art! The texture of the ground is a metal plate, so this gives a completely different look and feel – compared to other ‘SL- lands’! It is a lovely place to wander around and look…
ZED
Nothing cheers me up better on a grey Sunday morning than visiting a colorful sim, filled with art and weird things. So this morning I went to explore ZED (M). It’s colorful, with a pirate ship filled with grass and butterflies, chess pieces and some funny poseballs here and there. Also, on top of the…
Torley Island :)
Torley Linden is probably the most famous Linden in Second Life. He once visited ImperiuM Island and we were so proud! LOL! Torley has, of course, his own sim – Torley Island (M)- where he creates and build…stuff. All of course in the well known watermelon colours: green and pink. I visited his place and…
Renoir’s Chrysanthemums
Nope, this is not a blogpost about Renoir’s painting. Allthough, maybe a little! When shopping for a summerdress, I ended up -via the weirdest LM’s! – in a wonderful store, filled with the most amazing dresses made by Lady Thera Taurog. The ‘amazing’ part of the dresses is: they are all inspired by…
Burn 2 : Burnal Equinox
A small version of the official big Burn2 festival is the Burn 2 Spring Event, held this weekend. On the Burning Man sim (deep hole) with lots of performances, parties, art-installations and..fire, all in the wellknown desert! Unfortunately I missed the official opening on Fridaynight, but had a great time later in the evening attending…
IDIA’s Flickr Gettr
What a wonderful experience: IDIA’s Flickr Gettr! Perfect to relax and watch beautiful pictures, in an amazing techical art installation! I really enjoyed this :). You need a shared media capable viewer (I am currently using with the V2.6- Beta), enable the shared mediaplayer and for best results I also pushed the graphics to Ultra….
The Princess and the Pea – by Toxic Menges
A classic fairytale, one of my favourites when I was a lil Caity. Oh, I remember I had this wonderful book with fairytales, with glittery pages you could flip up to make them 3 dimensional! Gawd, I ruined it by looking and playing with it for hours and hours, while in my head I WAS…
