New Clothes and more

2009-10-23T20:20:00.000-07:00

After a long time we got many new items, but also we have built up 2 Sims for Gorean Roleplay. This, you can imagine, made us very busy.
3Moons is a homestead sim, now a fine little town in near of coast of Gorean continent. Greyface that is still in progress to be build up is a full prim sim and ingame connected to 3Moons. Both owners of this sims seems to be satisfied with our work.

Next to this my husband doesnt only do scripts and building, he works as Estatemanager and councelor for other Simowners and estatemanagers while I´m busy with design and building.
Also we have been active within the organisatators of the Sar-Tarna Festival of Tabor, that event will be this weekend, Oct. 24. and 25.

But also we made some functional roleplay belts. kajira outfits, boots and a series for Free Women, we do not offer only in our shops, you find them in Xstreet and apez.biz too.

Time goes on

2009-06-20T06:30:00.000-07:00

Oh dear,

time really runs and again I left to much time since I wrote here. Well, a lot of things happend. I founded a chicken group for german sionChicken breeders and such who just like them. And with update V11 a lot of things changed, things went wrong and all asked for help.

While this my husband Ron relased ChickenJoey and his following updates - still in process - now with bullett proof cause a lot of griefers think its funny to kill chickens - chickens that cant take to inventory for long or just replaced. A lot of financiell loss happened. While he was working on new add on I translated V11 informations to german. Now are all infos available for free. Joey you can get at Xstreet, our Shops and some other shops of chicken farmers too.

I started to work on some nice outfits, designed a basket for breeders, a chickenpalace *smiles* for my own but I will like to share with you.

Oh and we got a new store at Ostland near Schwarzmarkt a big mall.

This all and my own chickens makes me breathless, I just can hope you forgive me this long time of silence. Soon, as SL will let me in, I will add some more pictures.

Eggs, Security, News

2009-05-18T05:12:00.000-07:00

Hi,

it went a bit time since I wrote last post but here comes a new one.

I´m working on some nice outfits for several parts of life in SL.

New Outfits for slaves of Gor, males and females, historical regency dresses, a gothic outfit and more.

We also made new Beds, my Hubby found a really nice animation system for our beds and we take orders for individuel custom furniture now.

For our sweet little pets, those sion chickens, Ron created our "ChickenJoey" Security System. It comes with a nice chick that wears lots of weapons - a texture on one prim, but you can add it to all modify items around sionchickens, you like.

ChickenJoey will babysit your pets, count them, tell you if number of egg or chickens change, cages foreign chickens (with temporary prims, that wont count against land) and will be updated as soon Ron works again on it.

Also I translated Shammys wonderfull Complete Guide for SionChickens into german and now its available at our shop and at Xstreet.

This all takes time and hopefully we will do great work.

Slaveoutfits for north and south of Gor

2009-04-28T03:04:00.000-07:00

This week was in sign of Gorean Slaves for north and south. I got ideas and was asked for nordic gorean Thrall outftits and after some informations about the look, I sat down and draw some ideas down.

Here now I show you result of thoughts, wishes and informations - well and a very own little touch of creativity by me. But not only Outfits for bonds and thralls came to me, no, one silk for kajirae or all who like silks I made. Most of time I let this wonderfull kind of clothes to those who do that for years and really good but this creation yelled in my head and wanted to go out.

So I followed this feeling and created a dancing silk - it will be look different to most actuell silks and also fit style. Its a A&R Design Silk, You know. My hubby saw it and told me, he like it - hopefully he is´nt only.

I orientated me to persian and oriental styles - I hope I got feeling of this areas.

Silks, Technics and Eggs

2009-04-19T02:11:00.000-07:00

Always when I´m thinking that could be a boring time comes something that makes it a very interesting time.
Since my last post I got Sioneggs and chickens - what wonderfull little things - my beloved opened at Mainshop a technic section and I worked at some really nice silks and dresses.
A really good friend of mine helped me with textures - from tiles to fabrics and Im amazed how good it came out.

Our Coffins going to get some "kids" too - means, we created some more of our low prim Coffins. Soon we will get some extraordinary ones and I really hope they will be liked.
Still we work at our plans for Custom Offers, it takes fruits and get rounded.

We built a bed for one client last week and I`m proud to say, it was´nt possible to him to decide for one - so he took a combination of two of them. Ron put a self written script inside to controll farbmanagement, light and more. At least we added our clients favorite animation system to bed and set it up before we gave it over.

When it begun our client told us, he saw ones a nice asian bed - he wanted for his wife something like that - we created our own style but still with asian feeling. See yourself.

New Furniture

2009-04-08T12:41:00.000-07:00

It was a crazy week, we moved with our privat place to another sim and got a much bigger house. Means, we really needed a lot more furniture. As most of time I created my own - once again and once again not only for us.

Whole weekend we both worked from morning till night to get all done. Next to it I worked on a big series of Couchsets and got done some gardensets. My hubby wanted a special edition for gothic style - for his dungeon too!

Well on Monday I lay reading at some spaces of our house and fall asleep too - it was really really a big busy weekend.

Gift vendors, Resell vendors and Tip Jars

2009-03-30T07:49:00.000-07:00

I really dont know why all comes at weekend, but it does. Every weekend I think in taking a break but you can bet, at weekend we are more busy then ever.
So this time too. My lovely Hubby insisted to set up resell and gift vendors. Good Idea, dont you think?

I agreed with him and we tested out if I can participate with his system - I could, if I put out all my products, looking into each piece of it and change all permissions - hours and days of frustrating work, for me and him.

So I decided to get my own vendors.

I teleportated to this shop, got really big eyes for its products, cried over price (who doesnt *winks*) and came back with this box at my heart.

From Sunday early afternoon till Monday night I was really busy to set it up, but now I know its done, I just need to place vendors with my products and be happy.

Next to this I created some fireplace oven. Something that is and was at germany a traditional kind to heat your house. And all while I talked to friends, counceled customer and looked my Hubby over Shoulder when he made a tip jar - a custom work but another version will get out for shop too.

After all I really can say: I´m happy - I love working, love to do it for my own, love to know that what I do isnt just for nothing. We, my hubby and me are really proud that our products find friends and it let us wish to do more.

We moved

2009-03-23T16:03:00.000-07:00

This weekend we moved our Mainshop. Now we got a really nice place for our Mainshop after old Place will be sold next month and will change a lot.

It was lots of work, cause we had to do our own building this time and needed to redo all Landmarks. But, after all its really satisfying to see all is done.

At this weekend a notecard found its way into my inventory about a fashion show. Well, a skirt for it I would have, maybe... just maybe?

We will see, dont we?

Now its time for a little break to get air for next ideas and I found time to share this with you.

Scripter at Work

2009-03-18T07:04:00.000-07:00

I started to clean up my Inventory - all who are longer at SL knows that is something you have to do regularly. When I looked at textures I found one that reminded me for a really funny situation. Funny for me, not for my poor Hubby.

It was at the time when he was pretty new at SL and started with scripting. I used a script I got by one other for a drawer. But it was soon plain that this script works for a lot of things - but drawers you want to give away or sell.

So I asked Ron to look into it and redo the script.

He tested it and the dawer went away - Ron after it. Via Voice he told me: "It runs away, over whole Sim - I´m running behind but I cant get it, it runs away!"

He was a bit angry when I started to laugh, but I couldn´t stopp. Remembering this day I have to laugh again, so I did this time for more then 3 hours, even when situation was relaesed. Just when I brought my thoughts - and this picture I had in mind whole time - down at my programm for pics, he was able to understand why I was laughing my ass off.

And now I want to share this picture and the little story with you.

He fixed it - wrote another script - so we can do drawers as well now. But I think I won´t ever forget this day.

Eastern

2009-03-18T06:07:00.000-07:00

Eastern comes so fast - three weeks till it. Well as Easter present I made a little Hat with Flower, Egg and Bunny (thats not from me, got it by a great pet maker) but inside will be found two nice gifts by us. Sometimes I create just for fun and compose things I never would like to sell. This Hat is one of it. But it looks so funny, so cute, I didn´t want to delete it and when I remember Eastern comes soon, I got idea to make a decoration out of it - and at least a nice surprising Gift for all who come to shop.

Still we work at our products and ideas. Hopefully we will get next series of clothes out soon - and next coffins also.

Ron works on his own bed scripts - he isn´t satisfied with those we found. So I really think we will get a awsome beds, speciall cause we found wonderfull Animations for beds.

Today, when I went to mainstore I saw a very interesting little creature next to the easter gift.

Maybe you will enjoy sight as much as I did when I took this picture.

First Coffins

2009-03-14T15:49:00.000-07:00

Ron is so proud, me too.This week we produced our first sculped Coffins with Sleepanimation, effects of fog and sounds for a single Vampire.
As always I designed - but the little bat Ron added and we tested it out, also he added one of the celtic crosses to the other coffin, its one of some I made for him.

Well when I saw it I got next idea, this isnt finished till now but I really hope we will get it soon, a little crypt with a marble coffin - when I get a really good black marble this one we will sell in black and white marble, with or without crosses.Like I wrote last time - I really love gothic and celtic crosses.

Also we decided, as soon as we have enough examples we will offer custom furniture and coffins, that means our customers will be able to choose a ground design and textures, crosses and other little add ones we have available.

My next Series of Gowns and Miniskirted Dresses is finished now - well still a lot of work and my poor Darling will need to ad resize Scripts again. He will hate it I belive. Its alot of work to add this to one dress - to 10-20 dresses in one week.... but he does it with a smile.

While he helps me out, adding scripts to my designs, he is still working at his own projects that will add our Shop some nice toys - hopefully soon, I´m so curious cause he doesnt show me.

We got started

2009-03-12T14:31:00.000-07:00

Hurra,

we got started. Finally. Our Mainshop and outlets are furnished, xstreet shop and apez shop are equiped, now we got this nice Blog too and I can relax - well for today. Like I prefer, I do that at our garden, in one of my favorite outfits.

Im very interested in Celtic Culture and Crosses or Knots of it I like a lot, so it was close to me to create a series with such items.

At shop you will find from today some nice outfits for women, and male and females slaves - Gorean Lifestyle is another of my interestes.

We design most of time for bdsm, vampires, gothic and gorean Lifestyles, cause thats part of our Interests - ours: Ron and mine.

But from time to time I´m looking to other kinds of

creations and one of following dresses came out.

Ron got resize scripts to it and today I was able to place it.
