Cleo Relaxes At The Lake House

 Today, I decided it was time to take a break and just relax a bit.  I've made myself this little house on the lake with a huge porch on which my friends and I can sit and chat--probably my favorite SL activity.  I'm still wearing my new D!VA hair because the soft curls are just fantastic, but a change in makeup was in order.  So, I've gone for a bit more eyeliner than usual, and I think it makes for a good look.  This inspired me to work on some jewelry with a retro twist--I'm calling it Cleo. 

The Cleo Necklace & Earrings are available in 4 color sets, each with 4 metals and 4 stones.  These photos are just a few examples of the possible combinations in each set.  Look closely, and you will see the details on the metal beads.

Drop in to ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and have a look at the huge collection of jewels!  There are always hunt gifts to be found, as well as group gifts, and there is a petite jewelry shop next door.  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop.

Portia In Blue

A while back, I picked up this beautiful cornflower blue dress at ColdLogic, but I just didn't have any accessories and hair that I thought matched.  Recently, I purchased this very 1920's hair and it looks great even if the dress isn't styled after that era.  I love the soft brunette color.  The jewelry is a recent release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY called Portia, which features a "love knot" type design with a center gemstone.  There are 4 different color sets available, and I found a stone in each set that I thought looked great with the dress.  Of course, the "Blues" set was the best match and is pictured above with a blue agate.  The "Blues" set also includes a classic blue turquoise and a darker blue jasper.

Here is one of the choices in the "Greens" set--an interesting green turquoise, which I paired with the "copper" metal.  Other stone choices include a yellow-green peridot, and a malachite.

The "Neutrals" set includes this moonstone, which has enough blue in it that it looked really nice with the blue dress.  This set also includes a black jasper (You can never get enough black!) and dark amber stone that will look lovely with your autumn styles.  Below, is the "Reds" set with a coral stone--also includes a ruby and a pink opal.

Yasmine In The City

 I stopped in at the Flawless sim to check out the new Designer Showcase lineup, and found that the sim has been redesigned.  This seems to happen often, but I'm hoping that the current design will last a while because I really like it.  It looks like a very elegant city shopping district.  I took the opportunity to take some photos of my new jewelry--the Yasmine pendant and earrings from ELEMENTAL. 

 There are two sets--one with decorative beads and one with solid beads.  Each set includes 4 gemstones and 4 matching beads, plus 4 metal shades--dark and light silver or gold.  The textures change with an easy to use menu.  In the top two photos, I'm wearing the "Classics" set, which includes red jasper, a really nice purple agate, spiderweb obsidian, and turquoise.  Below is the "Bolds" set, which includes pink jasper, a deep blue jasper, green maw sit sit, and purple sugalite.  My personal favorite is the "Classics" set because I really like the geometrically patterned beads.

Twyla In The Kingdom Of Caprica

 Have you ever been taking photos, really concentrating, and suddenly you realize that you have an audience?  Well, that happened to me the other day when I was at Caprica taking these photos.  Lol.  It's not the first time.  Sometimes, it's a real problem, because the on-lookers don't realize that you are taking photos and get in the way of your shot.  (Well, I'm giving them credit for not doing it intentionally.  But, sometimes you do wonder.)  Usually, if you ask nicely, they will move.  Here, I'm modeling the new Twyla jewelry from ELEMENTAL.  Above, is my favorite version--gold with beautiful Turquoise stones.  The necklace is a collar type design with twisted wire accents, great accessory for a low neckline.  What a statement!

 The jewelry is texture changing!  You get 4 metal choices and 3 stones in each set--Blues, Neutrals, Reds, & Greens (not shown).  The Blues set includes Turquoise, Azurite, and Sugalite.  Neutrals--Black Lace Agate, Amber, Topaz.  Reds--Ruby, Fire Opal, Red Jasper.  Greens--Malachite, Maw Sit Sit, Green Jasper.  You can have a closer look at the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop in SL.  The jewelry is also available in a petite version, for Petite Mesh Avatars, next door at PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.

Rodvik & I Tour SL Castles

 I really enjoy reading Strawberry Singh's blog, and her photographs inspire me to improve my photography skills.  Lately, Berry has been doing "memes" and challenging her readers to repeat them in their blogs.  Well, I have been sorely tempted, but I have resisted because my blog is mainly for business.  However, it's ok to actually enjoy your work, right?  And ELEMENTAL is something I do for pleasure, not profit.  So, wouldn't it be ok for me to do a meme?  (That's your cue.  This is where you say:  "Certainly, Tessa!  You can take some fun photos and still include some new jewelry!")  Well, this week Berry's meme is called "Flat Rodvik" and it is just too hysterical to pass up.  Berry has taken a picture of Rodvik Linden (CEO of Second Life) and made a full size "Flat Rodvik" for us to escort around the SL grid.  (Here's a link to her post:  http://strawberrysingh.com/2013/07/29/flat-rodvik-linden-meme/)

I met Flat Rodvik yesterday, and I took him on a whirlwind SL castle tour.  Above, we are posing on the veranda of a lovely castle at Wizardhat Studios on the Rati dAlliez sim, overlooking an ocean view.

 In the middle photo, Rodvik and I are in the throne room of a castle at the Kingdom of Orlais on the Airys Beach sim, a role play area with a medieval/fantasy theme and lots of nooks and crannies to explore.  I tried to get Rodvik to participate in the role play, but he just stood there.  I guess he's just not into it.

For our final stop, Rodvik and I went to Sourthern Heart on the Momenti Rubati sim.  Rodvik and I had such a great day!  I know Rodvik didn't really want to look at old castles.  He was just doing it to make me happy.  Rodvik is such a "stand up" kind of guy!  LOL.

I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Leah Necklace, Earrings, Bracelet, Ring in Blues (top), texture changing with 4 metals and 4 stone choices in each color set.  Also in Greens, Reds, & Neutrals.  Aurelia Necklace & Earrings (middle and bottom), texture changing in Greens & Blues with 4 metals and 3 stone choices in each color set.  Also in Reds & Neutrals.  Here's a slurl to the ELEMENTAL mainshop:

Darla Goes To The Beach

 I found an interesting place to snap some photos--Trailer Park.  But don't let the name fool you.  There are lots of different "scenes" that make a good background.  I have on yet another new hairdo from D!VA.  This one is called Ange and you can wear it with flowers and with long tresses that hang over the shoulders in front.  I, of course, detached the long hair in favor of the up-do so you could see my new earrings.  The jewelry is called Darla and it's from ELEMENTAL.  I like the shiny woven metal cord and metal beads, which can be either gold or silver.  There are 2 stone choices in each set, and you can change the texture so that you have all of one color, or you can mix them. 
 

 Each set is shown here in the post.  At the top, you have a pretty aqua jasper with coral--I like those colors together.  Then, there is a black jasper with red abalone, amethyst with green garnet, and at the bottom is the blue jasper and chrysocolla set.

It's Roxanne--Not The One In The Song

 Actually, I went to high school with a girl named Roxanne, and I always thought it was a great name.  I feel really pretty today.  I have some great new D!VA hair, and a beautiful mesh top from Maitreya, plus some fabulous new jewelry from ELEMENTAL.  I really like this set--and it's called Roxanne.  The jewelry features a faceted teardrop gem with filigree and texture changing semi-precious stones to coordinate or contrast with the main stone.  In each set, there are 4 stone textures from which to choose, which gives lots of wardrobe variety.  You can also make it shiny silver or gold, whichever suits your fancy, or even a darker silver if your mood is dark.  In the top photo, I'm wearing the emerald set and below it's the ruby.
 

 Oh, and those aren't backdrops you see in the photos.  It's art!  I popped into the Surreal Effects Art Gallery to check out the exhibit and thought it would be a great background for my photos.  The art is done with animated light effects and is quite beautiful to wander through. 

 If you'd like to see the other stone choices in the Roxanne collection, pop over to ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and have a look in the "New" section up front.  Here's a slurl:

The Wonderful Oz Tour

 I found a great  place to explore--Enchantment Island.  There are several different themes you can follow, and this time, I'm doing the Wizard of Oz Tour.  Uh oh!  The house landed on the wicked witch!  Throughout the tour, there are lots of info stations that provide trivia as well as quotes from the original book.  Did you know that in the book Dorothy's slippers are silver, not ruby?  Who knew?  I think this might be a case where the book is better than the movie, so I'm planning to pick up a copy. 

 I'm wearing clothes from Sn@tch, and jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  This is the Bianca Necklace & Earrings, and I'm thinking it might have some great possibilities for role play outfits.  It comes in 3 color sets--Classics (top), Dichroic Glass (middle), and Lights (bottom). Classics include blue turquoise, black obsidian, carnelian, and green turquoise. The Dichroic Glass set includes a vibrant purple, red, blue, and green choice in "gems".  The Lights set includes a pretty light blue chrysocolla, coral, a lighter green turquoise, and a light colored amethyst.

La Luna

 OMG!  What a creepy cat!  lol.  Yes, I've found another Wonderland-themed sim--I really like Alice In Wonderland.  I found this fantastic new dress with a handkerchief hemline at PurpleMoon and it put me in a party mood, so I went looking for a tea party to attend.  If that Mad Hatter doesn't get here soon, I'm going to have to stick my finger in the cake frosting and have a taste.

 I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, the La Luna Pendant & Earrings.  It comes in three color sets, each texture changing with 4 metal choices--silver, gold, silver sparkles, gold sparkles--and 5 mix & match stones.  The "Classics" set (top) includes ruby, lapis, tsavorite, turquoise, and spiderweb obsidian.  Set 2, "Lights" (middle) has moonstone, pink opal, blue lace agate, chrysoprase, and citrine.  "Brights" (bottom) includes fire agate, peridot, purple sapphire, blue chalcedony, and garnet.  Here's a slurl for the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop:

Lucky Arabella Wins The Prize!

 Do you like lucky boards?  I don't think it's a surprise to anyone that I LOVE them.  When I'm blogging, making vendor ads, etc, I see no reason why I should waste my SL time, so I'm usually standing in front of a set of lucky boards while I work.  Below, I'm patiently waiting at one of my favorite spots, Sn@tch.  Come on....give me a "C"!!  LOL.  (And, yes, I did win the dress!  Yay!)  Oh, yes, jewelry...In this post, I am modeling the newest release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, Arabella.  I actually started with the bracelet, which I think is the absolute best piece in the set, and everything else followed.  The set is divided into packages so you can pick and choose--A Necklace Set with a medium and long pendant which you can layer or wear separately, An Earring & Ring Set containing the earrings and left & right rings, and a Bracelet Set containing the left & right bracelets.  The jewelry is texture changing--gold or silver with 3 stone choices per texture set--#1 includes green Peridot, Turquoise, & Coral, #2 has Sugalite, Chrysoprase, & Fire Opal, and #3 includes Labradorite, Ammolite, & Unikite.  Above, I'm wearing Set #3 with gold & labradorite.

 In photos 2 & 3, I'm wearing Set #1 with gold & turquoise, and at the bottom, I'm wearing Set #2 with gold & sugalite. 

 You can find the Arabella Jewelry @ the ELEMENTAL JEWELRY mainshop.  This weekend, you can pick it up for a ridiculously low introductory price of 60L for each set!  And, while you're there, be sure to check out the hunts and group gifts.

Here's Where I Got The Beautiful Hair...And Jewelry

At least once a week I receive a notecard from a customer wanting to know what this hairstyle is--it appears on many of my vendor photos because I enjoy wearing it.  It's really beautiful, isn't it?  (Actually, I was shopping one day and noticed a lady with this hair, and I just HAD to ask her where she got it.  Funny!)  It's Dina from Emo-tions Hair.  OK, now let's play a bit of catch up on the petite jewelry available @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and, of course, it's all available at "biggie" ELEMENTAL JEWELRY as well.  Above is the Petite Adriana Necklace & Earrings in Lights--Peridot (shown above), Turquoise, Blue Moonstone, & Rhodochrosite, Silver or Gold, all in one texture-changing set.  I really like this set as it's a bit different, not a pendant or choker, more like a showpiece to set off any neckline.  It's also available in "Brights"--Amethyst, Spiderweb Obsidian, Amazonite, & Red Abalone. 

 I couldn't resist including this shot.  I'm at The Noble Storybook sim, a magnificent tribute to Beatrix Potter, and I'm standing on her desk!  How great is that for a little fairy?  Oh, and the jewelry--The Petite Kira Necklace & Earrings in "Cools"--Purple Agate, Sugalite, Peacock Chrysocolla, Turquoise, Blue Chaldedony, and Moonstone with Gold, Silver, & Black metal.  Also in "Warms"--Fire Opal, Fire Agate, Red Lace Agate, Amber, Ruby, and Red Italian Glass.  I have to tell you, this was a pain to adapt for petites.  LOL.  But, I think it was worth the effort.

 And, below, The Petite Lilliana Necklace & Earrings in "Classics"--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, & Maw Sit Sit.  Also available in "Lights"--Rutilated Quartz, Pink Opal, Chrysocolla, & Ammolite--and "Brights"--Coral, Blue Jasper, Chrysoprase, & Charoite.  This one is really pretty and quite versatile.  I've worn it with casual clothes, evening clothes, and when I'm a fairy. 

You can get all of the jewelry shown here @ PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY and ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

Kira At Skye Neist Point

Let's get away from formal jewelry for a bit.  This week, I'm wearing my jeans and taking a walk at Alex Bader's new place, Skye Neist Point.  As you might expect, this is a lovely sim with beautiful landscaping, and some good photo spots.  Above, I'm on the beach with sand between my toes.  I'm wearing the new Kira Necklace & Earrings from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY.  This set features a teardrop pendant, swirled rings, and bunches of tiny beads in your choice of 6 semi-precious stones.  You can change the main stone, rings, and small beads independently, mixing the stones for various looks.  Above, I'm wearing the Kira Cools set with peacock chrysocolla, but the beads are turquoise.  Other choices include purple agate, sugalite, blue chalcedony, and moonstone.

In the bottom photo, I'm wearing the Kira Warms set, featuring ruby stone and rings, with fire opal beads.  Other stone choices in this set include fire agate, amber, red lace agate, and a pretty red Italian glass.  Both sets change from silver to gold.  You can find them at ELEMENTAL JEWELRY:

It All Starts With A Smile

I popped over to a sim called It All Starts With A Smile today and found a lovely little town with plenty of photo possibilities.  There is a beautiful town square, lots of little shops to pose in front of, and ice cream parlor....really nice build.  I'm wearing that great hair I picked up from D!VA Hair--I'm feeling regret that I didn't buy it in more than one color.  And, this is the newest jewelry release from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, the Lilliana Necklace & Earrings.  When I made this set, I was thinking it would be a more formal set of jewelry, but I like it just fine with my pretty tops and jeans.  In the top photo, you see the set in "Brights"--choices include Blue Jasper, Coral, purple Charoite, and Chrysoprase, and of course you can change between gold and silver. 

I have been seeing a lot of pink this week, so I pulled out this lovely top from GField and paired it with the Lilliana "Lights" jewelry.  Here you see it in silver with pink opal stones, but you can also choose a pretty aqua Rutilated Quartz, blue Chrysocolla, or Ammolite with a blend of purples and golds. 

Last, but not least, is the "Classics" set--Ruby, Lapis Lazuli, Onyx, or Maw Sit Sit.  The black onyx would have looked great with this black top, but I kind of like the combination of red and black.  You can have a look at all of the Lilliana sets, as well as some new Petite Jewelry if you drop into ELEMENTAL or PETITE ELEMENTAL JEWELRY, and catch it at the low introductory price of only 60L each.  Oh, and there is a fun April Group Gift Hunt going on at both the "biggie" and the petite shops--find the Daisy bunnies and you will have a complete set of jewelry!

Tessa In Wonderland...Or Almost!

I was doing the most recent Twisted Hunt, and I came upon a place called Almost Wonderland, a beautifully detailed place with an Alice In Wonderland theme.  If you drop in, be sure to go the whole route, following the rabbit down the hole, drinking the blue goop to get through the tiny door, etc.  Way too fun!  I'm also wearing a bunch of new, as well as some old items from my sl wardrobe.  The hair is a great new do from D!VA that is currently on sale at Collabor88.  You know I'm a D!VA fan, but I have to say this is one of the best I own.  The dress is a new one (at least for me) from Sn@tch, purchased at a bargain from one of the mob vendors.  I just bought the baby blues @ Mayfly Eyes, a new favorite.  And, of course, I'm wearing new jewelry from ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--The Dazzling Daisy Necklace & Earrings in blues and greens. 

I like this new jewelry.  It has lots of texture changing options...the metal can be silver, gold, or copper, the main stones and center stones change between 4 choices (3 color sets available--blues, greens, and reds), the daisy petals change between a sparkling silver, gold, and copper, and the little freshwater pearls on the earrings can be a white, blue, or golden pearl.  The blue stones include Blue Chalcedony, Blue Lace Agate, Blue Abalone, and Turquoise.  (Here, I'm wearing the blue set with blue abalone stones, and turquoise daisy centers.)  The green set includes Chrysoprase, Chrysocolla, Jade, and Maw Sit Sit (shown below with chrysoprase stones & Maw Sit Sit centers).  And the reds include Fire Agate, Red Aventurine (actually kind of gold), Red Sea Coral, and Rose Quartz.

Circe's Jewels

Circe, Greek goddess of magic, daughter of Helios & Perse, exiled to an island for murdering her husband (wonder what he did?).  Here she is, searching the woods for herbs to use in her potions.  When I was a child, my school library had a huge book about gods and goddesses.  It was filled with beautiful pictures of the immortals, and I loved to check it out and look at those pictures.  I am still fascinated by the tales and enjoy designing jewelry that I think the goddesses might wear.  Thus, the frequent theme.

I think Circe might have worn this jewelry, so it is named for her.  The Circe Necklace & Earrings will look great with your fantasy or role play dresses, as well as with formal attire.  Just use your imagination!  Plus, it is texture changing so it will give you many options without taking up too much inventory space.
I'm wearing:
Jewelry:  ELEMENTAL JEWELRY--Circe Necklace & Earrings.  Texture changing and available in 2 color sets--Classics and Brights.  Classics:  Malachite, Lapis, Garnet, Tiger Eye.  Brights:  Purple agate, Turquoise, Coral, & Peridot.  EJ mainshop:  http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/bono/221/224/22.
