Tea Panhandle is an awesome friend of mine, wicked cool DJ and makes some seriously good clothes   She has originality and puts a lot of thought and care into clothing that honestly, I wouldn’t have the time nor patience to do

She asked me to make her a new store because she felt her old one… was a bit …. budget.. *coughs*  It was meant to be a teapot.. and yanno, once she pointed out the handle and the lid and spout… i could see it, when i squinted and pretended so hard sweat came on my brow… ok, sorry I’m being mean.  Anyways – Tea asked me to make her another store, and use no prims doing it, and this is what I came up with

If you wanna check out her cool store, here is the SL Url http://slurl.com/secondlife/Ohana%20Isle/143/32/22

So Zelly ran out of room with her build I made her before, I guess it was really pretty and a cool design, but not really space efficient… So she wanted to expand, and bought land next to what she had and I built her this behemoth!  Its 96×96x25m in size… 3 stories tall and has loads of room for Zelly to grow into   I’m not sure on the prim count, but its not too high all things considered.

Zelly wanted a central courtyard type area so we incorporated that into the design.  Zelly chose the decor on the inside and I chose the texture on the outside, I’m still not completely happy with it, but I couldn’t find/make what I wanted and this is a nice substitute, it may even change in the future if one day I stumble on what I wanted

The are two staircases following the walls of the glass courtyard, nice and wide and easy for anyone to walk up! Though I think a TP system might help due to the place being so big

I just realised that the pictures are all taken at night time – but its okay, you can still see enough, right?  If you want to check the build itself, or buy some cool poses head over and check it out, the SL URL is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Glenn/60/149/28

Two posts in one day! Unheard of!
While I was building Striking Poses a quiet as a mouse Sai Pennell politely approached me to consider doing a build for her.  She thought i’d be outrageously expensive because i’m such a big flashy builder… lol… if only she knew… Anyways, we agreed that when I could start her shop I would, as I had another build that I was meant to do in between.  There is lots more waffle but its uninteresting.

Sai makes modelling poses and also has a couple free AO’s at her store so its worth checking out while you are looking at the build.  She was a little dismayed at having all that free wallspace but I’m sure she’ll fill it up in not time!

Sai asked for something nice, a bit modern and open and airy.  She wanted multiple levels and just it to not be completely boring on the inside.  We arrived with something that I personally feels modern, open and airy and gives access to a lot of wallspace for people to view her wares.

Pictures!

Ok, if you know me, i’m a bit slack sometimes, and I finished this build aaaages ago, a whole build ago, and i kept meaning to update my blog with this build but didn’t … because well, i’m a bit slack with the blog, I have lots of other things to do, like build build build build build… oh and I had my RL wedding and Honeymoon and more building to be done >.<

Zelly Mornington, the goddess of striking poses also owns Striking Poses, she approached me on advice from a friend asking for a shop to be build that wouldn’t cost her a gazillion dollars (because i’m cheap – and others aren’t)  So we discussed what she wanted, to which I had no real idea being from the land down under, we haven’t the same culture or history, so with some research and just a bit of determination we ended up with this.  What a ramble woo!

Its an attempt to get the feel of the 1950’s glamour, perhap an old hotel with the grand ballroom or a gallery for viewing art and any exhibition at the time.  It feels like we have achieved this in spades!

The link to the shop is http://slurl.com/secondlife/Glenn/24/166/28

Some pictures as usual.

AnnaH is a fashion designer who everyone I spoke to seems to have heard about! She makes really cool outfits and poses for shoots.  She asked me to redo her main store, but then this shop came up so I just started this instead.

I finished this build a few weeks ago but I’m so lazy that I decided to just move onto my next one instead of adding pictures here.  This build is around 300ish prims, I think just slightly over.

AnnaH did most of the interior decorating herself once I left her with an empty shell, though I tried helping her as best as I could ^_^

Dinah Sadovnycha recently purchased a vacant block of land on Ohana Isle to open up shop with her business. She makes some awesome static poses and some cool tattoo’s, and I believe is branching out to animations!

Dinah is one of the nicest people in SL, she is one of them crazy’s who go into welcome area and try to make things seem a bit welcoming in SL. I was recommended onto her via Eolande who owns the Isle to build her a shop, and away we went. After a bit of a rocky start (well 3 starts) we finally got on track and this is what we ended up with.

As you can (hopefully) see, Dinah was after an old style factory she could house her business in, and also put the twisted evil scientist bent in! I am very happy with the end result, as I have learnt a lot from this build. I created the inside wall texture and the windows, while using textures from my inventory for the rest.

Here are some pictures from the build. As you can see the shop needs to be filled and the outside need to be decorated with plants to fit in with the rest of the isle.

The SL URL for this build if you want to see, or if you wish to see some really cool stock is here.

So starts yet another blog to be lost in the sea of wordpress… who kindly allow me to have a blog hosted for free on their servers

I’m new to blogging, I don’t even read them a lot but friends in SL recommend to me that all serious business people in SL have a blog to advertise their product, and while I am not all that serious, I am trying to run my business in SL and keep my head above the water..
