New Items!!!!

Sorry I'm late!! Blogger seems to be having image uploading issues, so it took awhile for this post to be added. Here are a couple of new items I've been working on (on and off) since I've opened up my shop ... hope you like them :))

A very simple Luminary ... I remember during Xmas holidays how neighborhood streets and driveways would be lit up with luminaries at night ... beautiful! They aren't just for the holidays anymore! Make as many copies as you like to light up your walkways!


Up next are Talavera tiles ... I've always loved decorating my patio walls with these beautiful handmade/handpainted pieces of Mexican art ... find them at my tiki level store!



Next are examples of "mix and match" patio bistro pieces in different shapes. The chairs have poses animations built right into the pieces! Come by and try them out ...more colors will be available soon! Oh, and as usual, come by and grab a freebie copy of some margarita drinks!!!

Now, by popular demand, is my 'signature' logo fountain with the lions head relief ... comes with animation and water sound!


Last and not lease, I've FINALLY made the "square" version of the potted garden bench. Just add in you own animations/poseballs ... otherwise, come by and pick up a few freebie poseball copies at my skybox section of the store!

That's it for now!!! You'll have to excuse me, but I'm going to catch the new season premiers of "Chuck" and "Heroes" ... Have a nice night and I'll chat with you all on Saturday :))

New Patio Furniture

Took some time out to create a few new pieces and to update an existing piece...




Above are some new patio furniture pieces with built in animations (from Bits and Bobs, of course;P) and shadows. More colors and fabric choices will be available soon (or IM me if there's a pattern/color you'd like to see).

You will also notice the new firepits with a wrought iron base (one square shaped, another round shaped). The firpits contain really nicely textured logs and the fire emits crackling sounds and smoke! Come on by and check it out!

As you can see, I'm starting to add in my pots with the new "terra cotta" texture ... they will be appearing in batches around the tiki patio area as I complete them.
Finally, I've "updated" my chiminea piece ... I made the base more simple/less prims and I've included the newly textured/animated/firelogs with sound (originally I was using a different set of logs and particle fire that were not included). You can't see in this picture, but there's a nice column of smoke that comes out of the chiminea top, stop by and see it, it's really nice!
OK, that's it for now, RL calls ... I'll chat with you all soon!

I'm Early!

Blogging a day early because I will be up to my eyeballs in Photoshop work tomorrow and may not make it onto SL on Saturday ... anyways, the shop is just about as set up as I can make it ... I'm sure I'll be doing some "tweaking" here and there as time goes along. I have it set up that when you first TP to "Absinthe Minded", you will land up at the skybox shop in Skyridge ... from there there will be another TP area if you would like to see the sun loungers at my ground level tiki shop.

I had time to make 2 more new items, hope you enjoy!
First up is a Tuscan Fountain made with a combo of sculpties and prims ... I've been tinkering with scripts and am rather pleased with how it all turned out ;P
Second up is what I call a "Water Garden" ... add in either your own plants or add in some more water ... or even a fountain. You could even add in your own poseballs/animations to make it a nice garden bench for the center of your garden!
Okay all! Have to go ... chat with you all next week! :))
Regards,
Absinthe Primrose

Almost There!

Phew! RL and SL situations are making the moving to the new store longer than I thought ... but I'm almost there!

Here's the SURL to the new skybox location in the Skyridge sim ... things still are being added and arranged, so excuse the mess ;):

Absinthe Minded's Skybox in Skyridge


In the meantime, I've managed to create a few new pieces!

Above is a new texture to my lounge set (again, with animations built right in, no poseballs!) ... this one I call "Ice Cream Stripes" ... you can't tell from the pic, but there's a nice vine texture in the cloth. Also new is a prism shaped side patio table. On the table is a Damani ice cream cone freebie :)) Just a note that this is on the ground level in my "Tiki" location:

Up next are two wrought iron patio lanterns that you can hang on your patio walls! They contain a neat little script in which it turns on with a GLOW during your land's region night ... and TURNS OFF during your land region's day!!! So cool! Come on by and check it out!

OK, I have to go, have a few SL projects that I've been commissioned to do and time's a wastin'! Until next week...
