Do you have artistic talent? I’m a bit of a frustrated artist myself… frustrated because I long to draw, to paint, to sketch, but I lack talent. I’ll admit that I’m decent at copying things in a kind of simplistic hokey way. I gained fame at my kids’ elementary school for what I did every morning on their lunch bags, sketching out either the changing daily landscape out the window, or one of our pets, or (my favorite) a cartoon character from one of the plates or cups or what-have-you that was laying around handy to be my “model.” Not quite the earth-shattering talent, but hey, you work with what you got, lol. In these days of stay-at-home with their long, long, LONG hours, I’ve been tempted once again to try my hand, but I have a good friend who truly is artistic and has started taking classes and I just feel intimidated. Maybe one of these days. At this point, though, I’m thrilled to have the opportunity to play the role of artist here in SL and have my artist shed poised in a perfect spot to indulge my fantasies… Happy shopping!
- Skin, Brows, Head Shape, Makeup: LOGO – Melody, a brand-new, beautifully detailed skin, designed especially for the Josie bento head. Available standard or freckled in 6 tones. Worn freckled (of course!) in the Almond tone with red brows for a nice tanned summer look, Melody also comes with her own shape, brows, brow shape, eyeshadows, & lip glosses, all of which go right into your LOGO customization HUD. See the closeup above. Brand new & EXCLUSIVELY available at the May eBENTO, which opened May 12th for the rest of the month, for 699L per tone or 1499L for all 6 tones.
- Dress: MOZ Designs – “Halle” Romper. A split-chest romper with a neck “choker” in silver or gold, that’s available in solid organic cottons or pattern rayon fabrics. Comes with an optional back charm that dangles down over the bare back. Full-length shot shown below. Original fitmesh sized for Tonic, Slink, Belleza, Legacy, eBody Curvy, & Maitreya. This month’s EXCLUSIVE at the May eBENTO, May 12th – 31st. Demo available at both the event & at the mainstore.
- Body: Tonic – Curvy Beauty worn with Booty Control. I find that the Tonic bodies are truly the most natural curves on the grid with options to add that extra oomph how & if you want it & others to minimize the bust &/or the butt. The Tonic Five Year Anniversary Sale started May 11th, with both the Tonic Curvy Beauty & The Tonic Fine Beauty on sale for 50% OFF! EXCLUSIVELY at the May eBENTO, May 12th – 31st.
- Art Gazebo: CJ Creations – CJ Raphael Artist Set. LOVE this set, adds something so different & distinctive. Comes in a rezbox to easily set everything up (you can then, of course, move things around if you want). The Raphael Gazebo has hanging clematis & curtains in red, blue, green, & yellow, filled with deco items (canvas, trunk, lanterns that turn on for a touch of added light & color). Both painting easels include paint & sit animations (the large easel also has a couple cuddle; the small easel has toddler animations). There’s a shot of the full set below, including one of the painting animations (the sit animation is also part of the set; the standing one facing the camera is NOT). An extra-special little touch is that you can change the large canvas… I naturally chose a seascape because of where I placed the gazebo. Three different packs are available — the full set, the gazebo with/without decor, & the set of artist easels — all EXCLUSIVELY at the May round of the Swank Event, May 7th – 31st.
