The Button Hunt!

Dang I've been a post slacker and totally forgot to shoot you guys a post about the Button Hunt! The absolutely amazing Phoenix Welles has done an outstanding job organizing, blogging, and keeping up with this hunt. Honestly, it's been an absolute pleasure to both work with her on the hunt, and to go through it (still have to finish! but thankfully there's still plenty of time!).

The Button Hunt was created as a hunt to celebrate whimsy. Designers weren't given a theme, other than to make something fanciful, playful or fun. Phoenix has done an above and beyond job on the hunt's blog (Electric Dreams Hunts). The blog has all of the SLurls for the hunt, along with pics Phoenix took of every hunt item! O.o How amazing is that! The in-world group has also been super active and helpful, so I highly recommend joining.

Anywho, enough talk! Here's a pic of what I came up with:

You Say Tomato, I say...

...Weekend Fever!!!
It's Weekend Fever time again, and this weekend's common color is Tomato Red! As I did last week I decided to make a special re-color of one of the new styles I'm working on. So, this is the Tomato Red version of Julia. :) I've added in the common color in both the sexy/edgy streaks on the sides, and on the hair clip, which you can click for 5 different red patterns:
I'd been trying to make a "poof" style for a while now, but hadn't been happy with it; until yesterday when I got word at the last minute that there was still one spot left in this weekend's event! Nothing like a deadline for inspiration ;D I really like how this style turned out, so look for it to come out in all colors in the future! Ok, credits next, and then some gushing about what I'm wearing:

Credits:
Hair: RezIpsa Loc, Julia, Tomato Red, Weekend Fever!
Skin: Leafy, Miso Lumiel, Golden, Red Packet Hunt Gift
Top: GryphonWings Designs, Flurry Cowl, Red/Gold
Earrings: $GaNKeD$, Nightdance
Lip Piercing: skream!, confession piercing
Bracelets: Pacadi Jasha, Tahta Bracelet II, Black

As usual the Weekend Fever item will be out until Sunday at midnight, and will be going for just $50L! Here's a Taxi to pic it up!

Gushing:
Skin & Top: I am in love with pretty much everything I'm wearing in this pic. First of all, how amazingly well does this Leafy skin go with this top?!? I found out about this amazing top from one of my fave blogs, The Freebie Telegraph. There are 4 colors, each for just 8L, and the pack of all 4 is going for 28L at GryphonWings Designs! O.o It's for a limited time only, so rush to get these, they're amazing!
And then, I was thinking, what makeup should I wear with this... I need to have red red lips, common color is tomato red o' course, but I also wanted to echo some of the amazing gold feather detailing on the top... In comes Leafy to the rescue! Red lips, gold eye shadow.
Jewelry: On the jewelry side, I have to give mad props to the designer from $GaNKeD$, who made the earrings I'm wearing. These earrings are really only the tip of the iceberg. The jewelry from there is among the most intricate and amazing I've seen on the grid. My next style pic I'm really going to try to feature one of the gorgy necklaces! (They didn't work right with the top, cuz they're big!)
I don't know if it can be really appreciated here, but the lip pierce I'm wearing from skream! is so so cute. It has a teeny-tiny little dangly cross that sits right under the middle of your lower lip. The super tiny-ness of it is so impressive to me. That seems hard to make!
Lastly, yeah, I've worn these Pacadi Jasha bracelets a lot, I know, but it's because that's how much I lurve them. I mean, look at them! They're hawt and they go with everything!

Ok, the end!

Meet Anna!

Finally finished the Anna Style! First up is a pic of the Anna style, with credits and bio... then be sure to read on for a pic of the group gift!

Anna
It's a fully-sculptie look, with a healthy bunch of flexi-prims sprinkled in for movement. And, best part, it's available in the newly over-hauled hair textures! You can check out the new hair textures in the previous post. I'd been meaning to make a "one-eyed" style for a while now, where the bangs cover up one eye, and I finally got around to it. Yeay.

Oh! And, as per usual, I added this one color, the 4pm brown, to the Lucky Chair! Enough talk, here's the pic:

Credits
Hair: RezIpsa Loc, Anna, 4pm
Skin: Leafy, Miso, Sun, Salad
Dress: Zaara, Mrinali, Bluebells
Earrings: Zeery, Cube-Cloth Earrings, Grassy Stream

Anna Harrison
July 25, 1775 - Feb. 24, 1864. First Lady from March 4, 1841 - April 4, 1841. Hubby: William Henry Harrison. Yup, you're not reading those dates wrong, she was first lady for just one month, due to the death of her hubby exactly one month after his inauguration. She grew up in Long Island, receiving an unusually broad education for a woman of her times. While visiting family in Kentucky she met Lieutenant William Henry Harrison. Her father disapproved of the relationship that following, mostly because he didn't want his daughter to endure the hardships of living in an army camp the rest of her life. Anna was packing to move to the White House when she learned of her husband's death in Washington.

Group Gift!
To accompany the release of the Anna style I decided to release this Group Gift! It is the same Anna, 4pm style, but with a bunch of hair chunks in dyed in a different color. There are 4 hairs in the gift, each one with different color chunks. The color chunks are in my 4 "After Hours" pack colors: 1am (green), 2am (blue), 3am (purple), 4am (hot pink!). Here's a pic:
Credits
Hair: RezIpsa Loc, Anna, Group Gift
Skin: Pink Fuel, Skye, Chai, Girly
Necklace: Pink Fuel, Bottle Charm Necklace, Gatcha item
Top: Atomic, Shooting Star, Pink

The Group Gift Anna hairs can be found in the group past notices. To join the group just click on the group joiner thingie at the front of the store, click the link that shows up in the local chat, click join, and then go to the "notices" tab. :)

Now that the new textures are done I hope to be able to churn out some more styles. That's it for now! Hope you like!

Finally finished the overhaul of the hair textures! Woot! /me collapses. Pack's will still be $250, and the 24-Hour pack will still go for $1000. I had a lot of fun re-doing these, and adding, hopefully, some more detail and realism to them. Anywho! Here are some pics:


Lastly, I wanted to show off what I did for the 24-Hour Pack picture... I thought it was clever so I wanted to post it too! Hee hee.


Pricing Info:
Lastly, some pricing information: Each one of the packs is going to be $250Ls. The 24-hour pack will be $1000Ls, so if you get that you'll be getting all 6 packs for the price of 4!

Hope you like!

Mmmm, Honey...

Its Weekend Fever time! And, as the title implies, the common color for this weekend's event is Honey Yellow. Check out what I came up with:
Credits
Hair: RezIpsa Loc, Anna, Honey ~ Weekend Fever
Skin: Leafy, Miso, Sun/Emerald (you can only see the "sun" part in the pic, but the other eye shadow is an amazing color of green... how fab is that!)
Top: DeeTaleZ, shorty top, mint + fri.day, basic white cami

So, Anna is the new style I'm going to roll out a.s.a.p.. The style itself was pretty much finished about a week ago, however, I'm also working on an overhaul of all of my textures (mostly adding more detail and tweaking some colors a bit). This Weekend Fever Anna is a bit of a preview since it actually does have one of the re-worked textures. This one will be the new 7am version (second to lightest of the reds). I absolutely love how this one came out, so I had to use it. As soon as I'm done with all the new textures, and I color all of them in for Anna, it'll be ready for you gals!

Also, small *squee!* on Leafy... which I just discovered like a week ago and am now slightly obsessed with... the store has everything from shapes to poses to skins, but I'm currently in awe of the skins. The skins themselves are super detailed, and the makeups are both totally artistic and totally wearable at the same time. Exhibit A: is the skin I used in the pic, which has an amazing two-tone eye shadow makeup. It's one of the many gifts in the Thibedeau "My Funny Valentine" event, which goes until February 22nd I believe. Something that also brought me joy: Leafy is right next to one of my other faaaave stores, Pink Fuel, and the prize I got from the event had gifts from both of them! /me swoons... Ok, end of rant about awesome stores/designers :D
