This past week I had several SL-related things I wanted to either finish or get a good start on at least, so I just wrote out a list and started chugging away at it. I enjoyed seeing the list shrink each day, and even though I’ve added a few more things, the list this week is much shorter than last week’s list.

One of the big items I got to cross off the list was getting my latest series of eyes up ready to sell in world at Exile, on OnRez, and on SLX. I’m calling this series my watercolor series because of the way the colors blend together. With the bright color combinations and swirls within each eye, these are definitely more for people who aren’t looking for realistic eyes, but at the same time, I’ve added some shadow to these that make them feel a little more three-dimensional to me. I’m really happy with the progress I’ve made in making them.

I have a few eyes for my next series waiting in the wings. Those will be called my Helena series after the friend who first requested that I do some eyes with smaller irises, and in addition to being a bit smaller, they will feature darker colors and stronger shading. As long as I have fun creating the eyes, I’ll just keep releasing them in case anyone else likes them too. I’m thinking a little more about other things I’d like to make as well under the Shine name.

Image Conscious, an exhibition of photography and art in support of One.org began this weekend and will run through Aug. 29 at Wolf Hartnell‘s Wetherbee Shopping District. Four of my SL photos, including the one above this paragraph, are on display in the park area there. Watch out for the cute little hopping bunnies and maybe feed them a carrot or two or three while you look around and shop.
