I've been terrible about keeping my blog updated! But on a good note I have 2 new freebies out for the SL Discovery Toque Hunt. I was also given a pro membership on Flickr from a dear sl friend and have been placing my {Lark} items on there over the last few days along with some Agent Orange snapshots. New Year resolutions:

1. Rework my vendors.
2. Expand my {Lark} store
3. Find a system to keep my blog/Flickr updated
4. Create in-world groups for special gifts
5. Create some really great things

Macabre Hunt

I know, I know, another hunt. But this one is super-duper-creepy-cool and just in time for Halloween decorating. It's based on twisted fairy tales. Grimms Fairy Tales always come to mind when you think of the macabre, so I went there for inspiration. I really liked the idea of taking The Water-Nix story and spinning it with a dark, unhappy ending. The end result is a old scary looking well with a bucket full of one of the stories poor victims. The hunt starts Sept. 16th.

Dr. Seuss Hunt

I'm participating in the SL Discovery Dr. Seuss Hunt, so get down to the store and find the hat sometimethis September. Inside you'll find this silly prop pose.

Starlust Panty Raid

The hunt for awesome undies begins Friday, August 14th! Start in any of the sims of Starlustland and look for the golden clamshells! With hundreds upon hundreds to be found, your underwear drawer won't be looking so sad and empty much longer. You can find an Agent Orange clam filled with three pairs of underwear on the Elliott sim. (hint: it is very, very, very near to my store).
Have fun!

Newness

I've been keeping myself very busy these days. I decided to rework my logo, make new signage, packaging... products. I also decided that all of this should be worked into a new store set up. It seems my ideas are outgrowing my current space and I needed to rethink the way it's all put together. So, in the near future I will be opening a new and updated store with a few other additions surrounding it. There will be the mainstore, an area for quirky/silly things, a place for discounted items and a freebie area as well. I will rework some of the products I currently have to better them and take them to the next level (like my alphabet pillows) and will add some fun new things to the mix. I've been exploring some industrial styled furniture that I am loving and hope you will too. I'm also exploring clothing for the first time. I have a lot to learn but am having a tremendous amount of fun with it. Here's a peek at a signage idea I've been playing with along with the sweater I've been working on. Once I get closer to finishing all of this I'll put out a note with the release date. Okay, time to get back to it... lots to do!

Fall Fun Hunt

Here is a sneak peek at my gift for the Fall Fun Hunt (previously known as the 'Fall Frenzy' hunt). I've been wanting to make a squid or octopus shoulder buddy for awhile now, and have a more wicked looking one almost done, but then this hunt came along. I softened him up a bit by making him a plushy and throwing in some plaid for Fall. He's mod so that you can adjust his tentacles to fit any wacky shoulder or hair issues you might have. He can also be copied and blown up huge to make a great toy or pillow, just add some poses in and he's a octo party ready to happen, no babies included. The hunt runs from August 1st to August 31st so be sure to stop in the mainstore and get him.

Starlust Flickr Contest

So I entered the Starlust Flickr contest. I'll admit that it started out as pure greed. Gimme-gimme-gimme, all those cool prizes. *sigh*

Then, as I walked around the sims looking for photo ops, I felt something different. Melatonin makes shopping an experience with so many different looks, ideas and weirdness. Even if you've seen them all before, creativity this thick can't help but inspire you. I took to it with a new appreciation and let the idea of winning go. After a lot of fun, here are my attempts at capturing a moment.
