Menu Driven Pose Prop with 4 Pose Scenes

I have long been a fan of Oscar Wilde, in my teens the poem To L.L. is one of my favourite poems, the last verse I think resonates with everyone on some level:

"But strange that I was not told

that the brain can hold

in a tiny ivory cell

God's heaven and hell."

The amazingly powerful human mind, able to hold, to perpetuate, and to create both our triumphs and our tragedies.

The pose prop is built to enable you to have 360∘camera access to your avatar while posed with both a slide show sequence that takes you through the scenes and a menu driven scene selection that allows you a combination of options for your own art making :)

Thank you to HeZkeZl Slade who once again was instrumental in making a Studio Sidhe pose prop become a reality :)

Available at Studio Sidhe main store and on the Marketplace.

Enjoy!

Studio Sidhe @ Mee & My Roo Festivale! :D

Who would have thought that I would have become a breedable anything fan! But Meeroos are just way too cute for words... and a mate of mine game me one, so really couldn't let it die, right?

Well anyways, got way attached, and soon after was invited to be apart of the Mee & My Roo Festivale which is happening THIS WEEKEND!!!!



This set, EPIC grass mat, and 5 granny cushions with a different pose in each one is 200L for the set ... for this weekend only :D

You can however buy the cushions separately if you'd like for 50L each.

You might also notice the awesome shrooms, crystals & ruins in the background... they're from Kari who are also at the festivale so get down their quickly!

Pet roos, shop like there is no tomorrow! :D

Have fun!

Hi everyone!

I made poses, they are great. You should buy them:

Inworld: HERE
Market Place: HERE

For closer look:


Backstory: Siddean Munro wanted sit poses that were good. I made some & named them after her. YAY. I drew the backgrounds. I was deathly ill with faeryflu (rare strain of cold that is actually 10X WORSE than manflu) & decided that was a better idea than searching for locations or backdrops. I like them. So I kept them.

Enjoy!

PS: Outfit is by HPMD, Hair is Dura, Skin is Sanu, Feet are SLink.
PPS: I finally updated my market place listings **and** made awesome store banner on Marketplace page *puffs out chest proudly*

Spring Days with Studio Sidhe and Oh My Stars!

Hi Everyone!

Today a really fun hunt starts at Oh My Stars! The theme is April Showers bring May Flowers ( which totally works if you're in the Northern Hemisphere... or so I've been told! LOL).

Being an Aussie and from Queensland in particular, we don't really have four seasons, down south they have more variation, but where I am we pretty much just have summer and winter... just a fun fact I'd thought I'd throw in! :D

Anyways!

I made a wearable multipose prop for the event... a hat! :D One thing I do know about living down under is the sun!






The hat has 5 fun poses so you can look all stylish and blissful while you celebrate the season and for only 10L while the hunt is going on.

Because I suck at hunts, and think that some things should just not be painful; I've made the hunt object (a rain drop) rather large and have the pics of the 5 poses leading you to the hunt item... cause I'm nice heehee

There are some amazing stores that I'm sure you'll enjoy as you hunt around the two Oh My Stars! sims... can't wait to see your pics of all the goodies you'll pick up! :D

Studio Sidhe @ The Little Big Shop Event!!!

This year the The SL Little Big Shop Event is helping The Water Project
. A Brilliant cause who's mission is to bring clean water to over 1 Billion people who currently don't have such an essential resource. They do this one village at a time through building long term sustainable partnerships with the people of the regions in need... BRILLIANT! This is no quick fix solution, they don't just go in and throw a few barrels of water at people for a bit of publicity and then bugger off; they're in there, working with the people to change lives both now and into the future.

It's this cause that also gives this years Little Big Shop Event it's theme...water :)

Our brief was collaborate with another store that we were designated to make two items each, one to be an item with all proceeds going to charity and the other to be for sale at the Little Big Shop Fair.

I worked with a fellow Jewellery maker; Contessa Lacombe of Elemental Jewelry to make a complimentary jewellery set. Contessa made the earrings and necklace and I made the bracelet and the anklets.





All items were to be in keeping with the water theme. We chose the moon as our central design as the moon influences all things water related. We've paired this with a teardrop to symbolise emotions which the moon also influences.

I'd like to say a big thank you to Contessa; she was a pleasure to work with and always had unfailing enthusiasm for our project :) There were a few times where she needed to step out side of her comfort zone and she did it with zeal! I would recommend her to others for collaborations or inclusions in events any day... Great work! :D

I on the other hand was a nightmare to work with I'm sure... I did an excellent impersonation of a decapitated chicken while getting this fair, Fantasy Faire and Pose Fair set up!!! LOL BUT! I think that that also speaks to the caliber of Contessa's professionalism that she could take all of that in her stride and keep going!

You can find our collaborative pieces HERE as well as a whole fair filled with amazing work from old favourites you'll know and new up and coming creators that you'll be introduced too :D

Enjoy!

Pose Fair 2011!!!... Are you ready?

6 hours to go!

Hi Everyone!

I'm really excited to be involved in Pose Fair again this year and have some really special couples poses released for the fair :D

Remember Kate Bush? The amazing song Running Up That Hill?, and the film clip with the spectacularly emotive choreography?

BIG thanks to Tamzin Xigalia for the awesome pics used in the ads :)

You can find these as well as other favourites from Studio Sidhe at this years Pose Fair...

Enjoy!

P.S. The pants are Hakama Pants from Trap ;)

Thank You :)

In June 2008 I released my Leather Flower Vests and was proudly loitering in my little store in Alpha Centauri ( lets see how many of you remember that store? heehee)store waiting (optimistically) for an influx of people all eager to purchase my lovely new vests... the influx didn't come, but something way better did... or rather, someone; that someone was Achariya Maktou.

Acha had been drawn to my store when she'd seen my post on the feeds and had decided to pop over. I had no idea who Acha was; we'd never met and I always been woefully out of touch with the goings on of life outside of my own faery realm. I had no idea that she was a blogger. We began to chat, and I found an easy rapport sprung up between us, we had a laugh at my total lack of interest in shoes (something I've only recently begun to overcome...thanks Siddean & Jackal!)and spoke about Acha's studies that she was undertaking.

Acha then proceeded to purchase a number of items from store, I think in one fell swoop she'd managed to top my income at that time for a whole week. I was totally amazed and incredibly thrilled by her compliments as she tried on each purchase in the store... in the end wearing a crazy assortment of things that all just seemed to go together... I would later realise that that is a natural skill and trademark of Acha. Acha consistently came up with interesting looks using pieces and designers wares that most people would never dream would work together...and yet, she did it time and again :D

We then got onto the topic of blogs, with Acha saying that she would use some of the things she'd purchased in a post... WOW! I was stoked :D Being slightly left of center in SL and not fitting into any particular subculture or category, you pretty much found getting any sort of press a bit few and far between. A few bloggers would show my things from time to time...but THIS was a blogger who I didn't have to seek out, I didn't have to send a review copy to and hope that they would like my things enough to blog it...this was someone who had sort me out! I was amazed.

Acha later sent me the link to this post HERE.

Achariya Net has since shown many creations from Studio Sidhe and followed the crazy journey that has been my store. I have never forgotten the day that Acha wandered into my little store, and I have always been appreciative of her and her support of my work.

Anyways, I just wanted to share the impact that Acha and her blog have had on me and my store... we've both been enriched by the connection.

Thank you Acha <3

A taste of the masculine...

Hi everyone!

Today I'm pleased to announce Studio Sidhe's participation in the first Menswear Monday event! :D

Basically the deal is that for one day only men can choose from a selection of creations and designs from some awesome SL brands at a price that won't make them cry...EVERYTHING there is 100L or UNDER :D

I LOVE this as I have often thought the men of SL do get somewhat forgotten... and I admit that while I have almost always had items for men in store, it's a long time between mens releases... I do however let myself off the hook there somewhat as my store name *is* Studio SIDHE (pronounced SHEE) heehee Even so, Men have for years been requesting I make more mens stuff and so, I've made this pose prop...especially for men...

Enjoy!

The Tale of Snow White... version 2!

I am thrilled to be announcing this... some of you might remember the "light" first version of this pose prop from the WILD.Released event last year, or from the UWA Art Challenge recently...

It was after many requests to make a version of this prop that I could sell that I decided to raise the bar (as I am want to do) and challenge myself to make this already unique prop the piece of art that I am releasing officially today, and right in time for Valentines Day!

The set comes with the glass coffin with both the red velvet bedding or a gray tintable bedding, the faery forest backdrop (YES! I did paint that! *puffs out chest proudly*) and light beam with particle effects :D

For more pictures please see the talented work of Rylan Carling Post [1][2][3], Carthalis Rossini and Strawberry Singh.

Happy Australia Day :)

Hi Everyone!

Today, the 26th of January, is Australia Day, Today we wear the green and gold, have BBQ's, drink beer and thank the powers that be that we are fortunate to live in the Lucky Country...

And we are lucky, yes it would appear that Australia has been pissed on from a great height, but we have the guts, the determination and the spirit to not just drag ourselves back up but to bounce back and do it laughing... how can we do it you ask? ... cause we're Aussies, it's what we do and it's what the world knows and respects us for.

Australia is also a nation always willing to lend a hand where it's needed, and right now, we're the ones who need a bit of a helping hand:

Couples Poses, Fund Raiser & Pose hunt! :D

Hi all,

I've been sending notices about this, but haven't blogged about it till now... my state, Queensland, where I was born and where I live has been hit with extreme floods. 3/4 of the state has been declared a natural disaster area and that area to give you some idea I've heard the size of the area given as being bigger than Germany and France put together... bigger than Texas. Whatever, it's a lot... a lot of land, a lot of people and whole lot of lives effected by this disaster.

Sanura Sakai, proprietor of Sanu and a fellow Queenslander, has got together a wonderful array of people to raise money for the Premier's Flood Relief Appeal. There are a number of awesome events going on that are linked into this and the Extend a Helping Hand Market.

I have made the Daisy Parasol for the event and 100% of the proceeds from those sales is going to the Relief fund. You can also donate through the kiosks you'll find at the market, in the stores of those participating in the market and at a number of other locations around the grid... or you can donate directly through the link above. The support has been overwhelming so far and many more people are joining in to give generously of their creativity, time and money. Thank you!



The 3rd ProPoser Hunt is underway! and Studio Sidhe is of course participating in this great event. The above pic is the couples pose which you can find at #10 on the hunt :D There are some AMAZING poses and pose props on offer in this hunt so I encourage you to participate, you'll see some old favourites and discover some shiny new pose makers in SL! :D




Also! I've just released this couples pose which you can find in our main store HERE.

We're in the process of installing new fun stuff around the store so please ignore the mess as best you can! LOL

Enjoy!
