I was really excited to be part of the Royal Living Magazine Hunt over Valentines and wanted to create something that couples could use together, but keeping to the ethos of a minimalist style that would work all year around.   This is a mesh piece of furniture (animation is an extra prim attached).

The Love Stool is animated you can be solo, or you can share with your partner as the stool contains an animation engine so you can play and have fun together.  Ok the design is clearly nothing like the Drive movie but Mr Gosling is always welcome to pop over for coffee and share my furniture!

The stool is priced at 45L and you can find the hunt information @ Slurl.

I think the title sums this post up well!   I have been spending most of my design time outside Second Life in Maya over the past few months testing Mesh outputs getting ready for my sixth collection in Second Life.   It’s been a balancing act of design detail, the quirks of the limitations Second Life still has with Mesh and finally jumping up and down after uploading the final models that work (thank you to Maxwell Graf who kept me sane one evening showing me his amazing content after multiple fails on my own!).

Mesh seems to me to have re-engergized content creation at least for me within Second Life.  I haven’t for a long time felt anything akin to the excitement sitting at midnight at my desk as I baked in final textures reading for import.

This will be a new dawn of products for Scarlet Creative and I am really excited to make the transition.   <3

Releasing soon – Scarlet Creative Light Box Prefab

I came across Isla Gealach and her beautiful Cheeky Pea store some time back.  And was recently excited to move a mini outpost for Scarlet Creative on to The Nest sims she owns.   She really inspired me to kit out my store there based on the great environment that’s been created.

I also was delighted to be able to do this week’s Designer Challenge and with a snow covered mountain for inspiration it was a quick jump to think of a Chalet that would keep me warm.   I also have always been interested in restoring old properties and blending modern architecture.   So  I got to work creating a rustic space that was also in areas renovated into a modern style.  The whole time I was listening to this post’s music.  We have just put our Christmas Tree up at home and with twinkling lights it was super fun to build the Noelle Chalet.

You can read about the Designer Challenge here.

Find a place to snuggle up this festive season as the snow falls heavily. Scarlet Creative’s Noelle Chalet combines a rustic cabin with architect style renovation style. Low prim and compact it’s perfect for smaller plots with 2048sqm recommended. It comes complete with privacy blinds and locking doors. Low lag and low prim design in a 3 click easy to rez system.

Modify and Copy so you can rez multiple copies and also decorate to your heart content. It comes in unfurnished or furnished and is priced at 50L or 199L if you want furnished. The furniture includes a full animated bed, chairs, and rez on demand table including dinner, warm coffee and breakfast and cocktail party settings. A perfect winter warmer to read a good book or watch the snow from the warmth of your sofa.

And finally, I want to wish you all a wonderful holiday to you and your families.  I have had a fantastic 2011 and I hope you have too.  Here is to 2012!

I have had the most amazing support and can’t thank you all enough.  I was so excited the sim build was done in less than 4 hours last Sunday and everything is open and ready.   Furniture I am still working on.   Prefabs are now in vendors allowing you to scroll and rez multiple options from furnished to shell only including our skyboxes.   Come visit @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/Vanilla%20Twist/243/131/21

This was off the back of completion of a commercial project for Mannerism who also opened their doors and I was honoured to build their store and functional space.   Thank you Todd and Mikey for being amazing clients.  You can come see their productions and amazing products @ http://slurl.com/secondlife/Oceania/96/8/1501

What’s next?  Well Linden Endowment for the Arts awarded me space to build and create a homage to the concepts I did in Second Life from 2006 – 2010.  I am very humbled by the opportunity and am busy at work reassembling the birthday handbag, Tim Burton does 50s Pin Up and Through the Imagination.   The exhibit will open in the near future so will post for the opening day!

It’s that time of year when Autumn/Fall comes but the days are still full of blue skies and sun.    I spent a sunny day with a blanket on my lap, by my windows sketching ideas for a new house and surprisingly the sun must have jogged my inspiration as 24 hours later The Adler was born.   I have been playing with adding darker toned areas with organic woods mixed with white frames for this design.    I also wanted to introduce some textures I have been designing that have been inspired by the feel of a boutique hotel.

Adler is a beach house that has a first introduction of those textures, and coming up shortly will be a new build that really pushes them further (and will be my most colourful to date I think!).  Perfect for relaxing with your own blanket on these colder days to watch the world go by from or if you are lucky to have a beach space, the waves breaking on the shore from your window.
