Fall’s Embrace

So as I sit here sipping my hot mulled apple cider (you thought I just blogged about it???), I’m thinking how fall is not just hot drinks and warm clothes.  Decor and landscaping is such a big part of it, especially here on the grid where nature does not naturally participate… you need fallen leaves and pumpkins and blankets ready to wrap around you at a moment’s notice. It’s why we all go looking for those beautiful photogenic sims that change with the seasons, because it just doesn’t feel like fall if it doesn’t LOOK like fall.  That applies to your home here in SL as well.  And no it doesn’t mean that you redo everything every season.  What it DOES mean is that those summery deck chairs and barbecue sets get stored away till next summer (just like they do in real life!!!), and a few well chosen autumn sets or pieces take their place.  There’s a lot to choose from; here’s a set that I think is so fabulous, I’m now personally using it in my own home. Whether you choose this set, or another, or none at all, have fun exploring all there is out there.  Happy shopping!

Tylar’s Treasures – The Brock Fall Collection, available INDIVIDUALLY for sale EXCLUSIVELY at the Uncharted Event, Nov 5th – 20th.  Use them alone or group them together like I did for a fabulous fall setting (and since everything is copy/modify, your setting can be customized just the way you want it!):

Attack of the Man (or Woman) Eating Spiders

With one week to go, we’re getting into the final stretch for Halloween.  I’m just really starting to look around at what’s available, and I have to say, there’s just so much quantity out there in every genre, it can be downright daunting to find the quality items. I have to say that one of my favorite items this year — in fact I believe it will rank among my personal favorites for a long, long time, gracing whatever land I own — is ATTACK OF THE MAN EATING SPIDERS from Tylar’s Treasures.  It’s just such a uniquely creepy item, it’s really cool!  The scene features a bare tree covered in a spiderweb. The ground beneath  the tree is covered in skulls and two whole skeletons.  But what really makes this item come alive is that it has 3 animated spiders — one of the giant ones wanders around the scene (yes, you can set his range!); another giant is attacking a skeleton in the foreground; and a smaller cousin is moving up and down on a web from the tree.  This can be seriously creepy stuff, especially if you get tangled up with the big animated spider… which happened to me the moment I tp’d to the event using the LM below (consider yourself forewarned lol).  Want even more creepiness?  The giant animated spider is copy, so you can have as many giant spiders running around as you can handle before calling for the exterminator!

  • Attack of the Man Eating Spiders –  TYLAR’S TREASURES … A must-have for anyone who does Halloween landscaping! With 3 animated spiders, one that will roam as far as you allow (read the full description above).  Creepy, cool, chilling… everything Halloween should be! EXCLUSIVELY available at Mad Circus, Oct 5th – 31st.

The Reaper

OK, so we’re far enough into October now where fall has begun in earnest. That means two things… it’s now officially fall, to the point where I’ve ripped out all spring/summer flora from my SL land and have put in all kinds of autumnal glory and fallen leaves.  I have to admit that it’s not only a nice, refreshing change, but it’s gorgeous! The fact that it actually uses less prims is a welcome bonus too lol! But more importantly, October means Halloween. I’ve been seeing lots of absolutely AMAZING Halloween decor this year, and I plan on featuring quite a bit in this blog.  First up is this fun item that can fit on just about any size lot to add that perfect touch of Halloween dread!

  • Halloween Arch –  TYLAR’S TREASURES – Reaper Garden Entrance, with animated bats.  Features a fall branch tunnel with fall leaves, bats flying above, all decorated with a standing reaper at the entrance — a reaper with flaming eyes! — & a creepy pumpkin on hay bale. Perfect for your Halloween decorating! Copy/modify, this fantastic item is EXCLUSIVELY available at Heathen’s Court, October 5th – 31st.

Once Upon A Time

Posted on by cejalaval

Once upon a time, many vibrant subcultures lived in a wonderful virtual world called Second Life. Fairy folk and elves had land stretching across many sims, filled with art, song and creativity.  After dressing as fae and elf one Halloween and finding pure joy, Ceja and her partner decided to leave the human world behind. They created fantasy alts, and together as fae and elven prince they built a home in a marvelous treehouse near an open sea. Their home was a joyous one, full of color and fantastical flora and fauna.  But the time came when the elves and their kin departed SL for other words and the elven prince often had to travel to faraway lands on business.  What had been a rich and varied life became one of loneliness.  The two decided to return to living as human, and found that after such a long absence, it was once again fresh and exciting. Soon their fantasy lives faded into memory.  Life went on.  Then suddenly, a dragon appeared. His beating wings and breaths of fire rekindled those lost dreams and fantasies, and Ceja couldn’t resist building a glen for the dragon, full of the colors and richness that her elven home once held.  The road ahead is unclear… but for right now, it’s simply wondrous to have a touch of fantasy brought back, even if just for a little while…

THE SCENE

Just about everything you see is from TYLAR’S TREASURES, including:

  • Animated Dragon with Fire.  Dragon hovers over the perch (in itself a fantastic item), flaps wings & breathes fire every 4 seconds (just touch to start the animations).  Only a video could do this justice!  The detailing is simply awesome… just look at the “ribs” in the wings! Available in 7 colors: Blue, Gold, Purple, Magenta, Green, Red & Teal.  EXCLUSIVELY at the All Things Event, Sept 5th – 30th.  See below for both a closeup & a pullback for the full scene. (Just a note: looks AMAZING in some of the scifi windlights, but tried to keep colors as close as possible to a “normal” windlight)
  • Fantasy Stream Decor.  Features a lovely stream with animated water, & fantasy plantings along each side. There’s a rock dam at each end with a fantasy arched tree, together with some butterfly flowers. 
  • Fantasy Grass Hill.  The perfect “foundation” for a fantasy build!  It’s a very low mound on which to place some of your fantasy scenes to transition from green grass to fantasy building.  Not only is it copy, so you can add as many as you need, it has a 4-color texture change menu — blue, pink, purple, white — to liven up your landscaping. A must-have for the fantasy landscaper!
  • Fantasy Trees, Small.   A sneak peek at an upcoming new release that’s perfect when you just need a little more to “fill in” the scene.
