I’ve been out of town the last week or so focusing on some RL family stuff. I managed to drag Mom back into SL to see our sim Covet in all its glory, and I finally convinced my brother to create an avatar. Thank you Linden Lab for having the Gearhead surname right now because I think that was the last little push he needed, or maybe I achieved a grandmaster rank in my nagging sister skills finally. I’m just happy they both got to see what I’ve been up to in SL for themselves. Dad will be a hard case, but I’ll eventually get him signed up too.

As you can tell from me bringing my family into SL, I’ve haven’t exactly been away from SL during this trip, but I’ve just been popping in to chat and see what other people are doing. The most active thing I’ve done myself is update my profile photo to something a little more spring-like. Can you tell I like purple?

I’ll be heading home tomorrow, and I’m excited to dive back into some projects for Shine. I miss playing around in ZBrush and trying to figure out more about sculpted prims. Thankfully I got to push out two sets at Shine before I left. Gothica is steel and big chain links as its name might suggest, and Gilded Lily is a little girlier and a nod to some vintage costume jewelry I own. The lily sculpt in Gilded Lily is probably my favorite piece I’ve created so far.
