Just A Bit Of Shopping

I just couldn't resist snapping this picture of me doing a bit of Christmas shopping.  From the looks of things, though, I think I need a warm coat--let's add that to Santa's list.  I'm a little behind in my blogging due to the Thanksgiving holiday, but I'm back now with some new jewelry items from ELEMENTAL.  In the photo above and at the bottom of the page, you will see the Sasha Necklace & Earrings.  Sasha has 4 texture changing medallions and 4 sets of stone beads to match.  The medallions are all the same motif, just in different colors.  I really like this burgandy one, which will look great with several of my winter outfits.  There is also a deep blue, a pretty teal, and an earthy brown included in the set--all very warm colors for cold weather.

This week's second new release from ELEMENTAL is the Jehan Necklace & Earrings, a texture changing set with 6 floral medallions and beads in 6 semi-precious stones--turquoise, purple, gold, pink, green, and a lovely periwinkle blue.  I've read that turquoise is going to be big in 2013, so you might want to start collecting some pieces now--for yourself as well as for holiday gift giving.

Here's a slurl to the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop in second life:

Bewitched Opalescence

I know it's a bit early to be dressed up for Halloween, but I just couldn't help myself!  I bought this fantastic black dress at Kastle Rock Couture and thought it would be a great dress for the holiday.  I was working on a set of jewelry called Opalescence in Light and Dark Opals, and I decided that it would be perfect for the season with some dark, eery opals.  I also added a dark metal texture that really sets it off.  Above is the Bewitched Opalescence set with dark metal and Purple Night opals.

OMG!  Look behind you Tessa!!  lol.  I call this opal "fire" because with the black background and flame colored highlights...well, it reminds me of fire.  Perfect for All Hallow's Eve.

And what's Halloween without some green, glowy slime?  This black opal has green fire, and is called "green glow".

Last, but not at all least, is a bit cheerier orange opal called "pumpkin".  I'm thinking of carving some jack-o-lanterns.  I never buy anything but real pumpkins, and I carve them myself--it has to be my favorite Halloween activity.

You will also find Light Opalescence jewelry with brighter opals in blue, pink, yellow, and purple.  And there is Dark Opalscence jewelry with smoky opals in blue, green, pink, and black.  All three sets have texture changing metal as well--gold, silver, and dark metal.

And...all three sets are on sale this week in the 60L Weekend Sale!  Run on over to the new ELEMENTAL JEWELRY shop and get dressed up for the season!  Here's a slurl to the mainshop inworld:

I'm Wearing:

The Petite Goddess Athena

I'm showing off my newest petite dresses!  The one above is from a favorite shop of mine - Sn@tch.  (No, that's not a link, it's one of those automatic computer things.)  The two below are from another favorite..Kastle Rock Petites.  And...I'm at a new sim that is petite friendly...Kingdom Phantasia.  KP is a medieval themed sim, but everyone is welcome.  Look closely, because hidden in some groves of trees are some special petite places.

Well, after some tinkering on my part, you can now have the Athena Necklace and Earrings to fit your petite mesh avatar.  And it's texture changing!  Now remember, for petites it's a bit tricky changing those textures.  You have to swing your camera behind the avi, and zoom in in order to click on the earrings.  And sometimes you have to do the same for close fitting necklaces, although for the Athena you can just click the necklace from the front.  Petite Athena comes in your choice of gold or silver.  Each has texture changing stones.  The gold set has Ruby, Jade, Lapis Lazuli, and Purple Sapphire.  The silver set has Pink Tourmaline, Purple Sugalite, Turquoise, and Tiger Eye.

Ok, So I Can't Resist A Good Sale...

Well, if you think I can pass up a good sale--think again!  I happened by Kastle Rock Couture on business and decided to have a look at Spooky's Black Friday sale.  I bought this amazing dress--the KR Stephanie dress in red--for only L$60.  And...it just so happens that it matches perfectly a set of jewelry on sale this weekend at ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--the Bewitched Blossoms Red Rose Necklace & Earrings--L$60 each.  (If you look closely, you can see the red roses in the gem.)  Run, don't walk, over to Analog Dog Hair before their sale ends.  I got this great Melody hair for L$10!  (sigh)  I've had a good SL day.

Heavy Metal!

I was looking at a magazine the other day, and I saw these really cool metal beads.  I started toying with metal textures, and I've had several requests for chunkier jewelry designs--so I made these beads big and bold.  I call them the HEAVY METAL NECKLACE & EARRINGS--decorative metal beads in copper, silver, and brass connected by silver links.  It's the newest release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY!  And the introductory price is a light weight L$95!  Landmark to inworld main shop:

Also, there are 2 new convenient ELEMENTAL locations for your shopping pleasure.  There is now a kiosk on Grand Isle, home of Kastle Rock Couture:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Grand%20Isle/159/69/21.  (Thanks to my friend Spooky Mistwallow!)  And a kiosk at MonkeyLick Island--home of The Swingin' Banana & MonkeyLick Island Shops (as well as 1-800 Bettie's Vintage & Retro Clothing--you know it's one of my favorites!).  http://slurl.com/secondlife//49/96/23  When you land, follow the signs and train track around the corner to the Swingin' Banana.  The ELEMENTAL kiosk is directly across from the Banana--which, by the way, really is a swingin' place. 

Midsummer Night's Dream at Elemental

My friends at Kastle Rock Couture have organized a hunt called The Midsummer Night's Dream Hunt, which starts on June 21.  I had forgotten some of the details, so I pulled out my copy of The Complete Works of William Shakespeare and reviewed the play.  In this one, Oberon (king of the fairies), who is having a disagreement with Titania, sends Puck to put drops of nectar from the Love-In-Idleness flower on the eyelids of the sleeping Titania (queen of the fairies).  The effect is that when Titania awakes, she falls in love with the first creature she sees.....and you know the rest.  What fun!  The Love-In-Idleness flower is said to be the purple pansy.  So, my hunt gift is a convenient set of gold cuffs containing a vial of the tricky nectar.  I've made it in two sizes, and they are both resizable.  So, you can wear them on wrist or upper arm.  And, yes, I consider them unisex fellas--'cause Puck would be happy to wear one. 

I'm also wearing:

Top:  G Field--Flower Top--pansy. 

Hair:  Truth Hair--Paige in auburn.

Skin:  Mamboo Chic--Iseb in sweet pale.

The Hunts Are On At Elemental Jewelry

I LOVE HUNTS!  There are currently 2 hunts in progress at ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, but they will be ending soon, so hurry to the shop to get your prizes.  The first hunt is the I LOVE SECOND LIFE FASHION HUNT, organized by Kasi Bouvier, which will end on March 5.  For this hunt, I have made a beautiful blue, three tiered pendant--Blue Mist in Gold and Chrysocolla.

It gets better!  Members of the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY GROUP can pick up the matching Blue Mist earrings--for free.  That's an entire jewelry set for free!  (And don't forget, if you join the group you might want to hang onto that membership.  You never know when I will mail out a group gift to existing members.)

The second current hunt is the BOURBON STREET HUNT, organized by Spooky Mistwallow of Kastle Rock Couture, and Lynn Pooley of Electric, which ends on March 8.  The theme, of course, is Mardi Gras, so I've made a take off on the Blue Mist pendant in Mardi Gras colors--purple amethyst and green tsavorite beads on gold.  And for the gents, a tacki-licious Mardi Gras tophat.

Hunt info and hints are posted on the left side of the Elemental Jewelry doorway--you can't miss them.  (BTW--There are also hunts in progress next door at METAPHYSICAL MERCANTILE, so go have a look while you're there.)

Happy Hunting!

Tessa
