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:

Australia Day will be one to remember, as B&B’s sets the stage for back-to-back live music every hour of the day from 12:00am on the 26th of January right through to 11:59pm on the 27th. That’s 48 hours of incredible LIVE music!

Big things this week @ Studio Sidhe :D

Hi Everyone!

I have a couple of things to tell you about today!

First up! Shoes and Accessories Hunt!!! :D This is set to be BIG! I had a look through the participant list and I was all wow, so going to be doing this myself! LOL and yes you may even be treated to another one of my oh so stylish fashionista hunt reviews!LOL (watch this space!)

A bit about my offering for the hunt... this is officially my very first handbag, and yes, BOMBSHELL that it's a hippie bag! *picks you up off the floor* and is unisex. It has a resize script, so you can get it to fit you :D It's also called Sunbury... fun fact: You know that little concert America had outside Woodstock in NY state in 1969? Yeah well Australia (land from whence I come), had it's very own music festival, but annually, 'cause we just have way too many great bands to fit into one weekend! *ducks and runs* (I just cant help but stir heehee). Okay, it was an annual event that lasted three years, but GO US!!!

In other news!



OMG! seriously, there are no words for just how EPIC a saga this special edition texture change music box was to bring into reality. I sooo wanted to have this ready and out with the single texture boxes, but it looked nearly to be an impossible task which I had all but given up on until a lovely man by the name of Ted Cornell came along and offered his help.

Thanks to Ted this special edition of the music box is texture change, so you can choose between all 7 designs, and still has the animated box feature which rocks and has 9 beautiful ballerina poses for you to choose from a menu :D It's a very detailed pose prop and I am quietly confident that there is nothing like this on the grid, because no one else would be as crazy as me to even attempt this! LOL

But because this box looked likely to never happen the way I had envisioned, but is miraculously here... I'm offering it for the special price of $500L until the 14th of February (after that you will have to basically give me your first born in order to get one) so I do recommend that you get in and get yours before V-day ;)

You can get them at Studio Sidhe in world or on Xstreet if you wish to purchase it for a friend :)

Until next time,

Enjoy!

To Write Love on Her Arms - From the heart

Newdoll Nikolaidis passed me the most precious box this evening... Three creators had made these tattoos, a glorious & touching way to bring awareness to the tragedy of depression, self harm, addiction...

for full story of what "To Write Love On Her Arms" is... see this

The three creators who made these tattoos being distributed around the grid to people who wish to show their support of this powerful and much needed message are:

Allison Widdershins
Deviate Destiny
Nefer Avro

I work with young people, I am a teacher, I have bathed the blood, I have dressed the wounds, I have been the ear for students who felt so out of control of the pain in their lives, so overwhelmed by everything they were feeling, that they have told me they just wanted *something* to focus on, something that they could be in control of, even if it caused them harm. I have wept for these young people, & I have railed at a world that should protect young people from life experiences that drive them to this... It is for these reasons, that I support such a worthy cause.

If I could arm people going through any or all of these things, it would be with the ability to get their arms around who they are, and be able to truly love who they are ... from the heart.

I've passed the pose I made for this pic, & another one for larger framed avi's to be added to the pack being circulated.

*hugs*

Flipside & Studio Sidhe are proud to present.... Moonsong!

Hi everyone!

We've been working hard and now it's time to play and show off all that work!

We're having a party to celebrate the opening of Moonsong! Our very own sim where you can now find the main stores of Flipside and Studio Sidhe.

The events we have planned for the day will be loads of fun, so drop by and have a dance, listen to some great music, hunt for the little moons that will be hidden around the sim with great gifts from both Studio Sidhe and Flipside AND pick up a special sim opening gift! :D

Hope to see you there,

Take care,

A mixed bag of Goodies :D

Hi everyone!

Who's been super slack at updating their blog? .... MEEEE!!!! heehee

But I did just want to let you know that the Slice of Summer watermelon hunt is winding down, so if you haven't already, hurry in to get your couples pose from our main store (pictured above).

In other news, I've also made a version of the bell and chain anklets with a bell sound on walk. This version comes with both the with and without sound version of the anklet.

You can find these at Studio Sidhe, SLink (the prim feet featured in the pic are the brilliant work of Siddean Munro) or on Xstreet.




Also! I've made a hugely fun pose set... The wine glass comes with either the rainbow texture or a tintable version :)



Available at Studio Sidhe or on Xstreet.

Okay! done... now back to making more fun stuff =D

Take care, and as always...

Enjoy!

New Release @ Studio Sidhe: Elven Anklets

Hi-ya Everyone!

I was recently asked if I had any elven jewellery, the fellow that asked was looking for anklets to go with his new prim feet... I didn't, but got inspired! I've been busy working on these anklets for a bit over a week and I'm very pleased with the results :D



These anklets come as a pair and are unisex so they work well for both ladies and mens avi's... a thank you to Sasy Scarborough for pointing out to me that not just people with prim feet would want to wear these, and suggesting I script them to resize :D

The anklets will for that reason say "no modify" in your inventory, but the prims themselves remain modifiable for those that wish to do things manually... as always I suggest you take a copy BEFORE you get mod happy! (ESPECIALLY with these!!!)

The wings featured in the ad have been put out as a Studio Sidhe group gift, which you can find to the left of the entrance to the jewellery section of the store. Just wear your group tag to grab it :D (if you're not a member of the inworld group just touch the sign above the gift to join)



Get to Studio Sidhe main store HERE.

Also Available on Xstreet HERE.

Enjoy!

PS My Good friend Ziggy Quirk is holding a fundraiser for KIVA this long week end... ALL proceeds go to this great cause.

Silver Filigree Jewellery @ Studio Sidhe!!!

Hi Everyone!

I am seriously excited, every time I make something I always try to go a little beyond what I've done before, I love learning and trying new things...
The bracelet in particular, was a massive undertaking and I had no idea if it would work right up to the very end when I was setting the attachment points!


Freebie:

When you looked at the ad for the set you probably noticed that down the bottom it says the matching earrings are a freebie; Amelia Case over at Philotic Energy has made a special edition Christmas freebie hair to go with, so this is a little collaboration between us. If you would like to grab some fabulous hair AND the matching earrings, head on over to Philotic Energy


Sale:

I've put my Christmas tree up at the main store, and have put some gift boxes underneath... each box holds a store card and is marked at 20% off. So swing on in and get a bargain! They make great gifts but they can also be used to get yourself something nice at a considerable discount! ;)
*** please note that only the store cards in the gift boxes are discounted***

The Bracelet and Pendant are available either in world at our mains tore or on OnRez or Xstreet.

Thanks everyone, until next time,

Enjoy!

Come & Play with Studio Sidhe at the Jewellery Expo!!!!

Woooot! It's nearly here! That's right, not long to go... Expo kicks off on Sunday 5th and runs until Saturday the 11th of October [SLT].

There are so many great designers here at this years expo... I've been flying around and having a sticky beak at all the great stuff and WOW, sl is bursting at the seems with creative energy and talent, I love it!

Above you can see a quick snapshot I took of the Studio Sidhe booth... I bought a little bit of my ruins to the expo! LOL This is the first expo that we've been involved in and are really excited... so please come and check it out [HERE]

Also while your there, you might want to help out a worth cause... Heifer International. Which I must admit I'd never heard of until I went into research mode...

Basically Heifer International is a global organisation that works to find and facilitate holistic solutions to such things as world hunger, poverty and our every depleting environment through building sustainable communities... it's a great initiative. I am all for helping people out in crisis with emergency food and aide, but what happens after those supplies are gone? THIS cause I can get behind, assisting people in the present is all well and good, but sustainability is and should be, the major goal.

You can donate directly to Heifer International via their website [link above] OR you can come to the expo and buy one or some of the great things people have made to raise money. Our contribution to this is a pair of black pearl hair sticks... as the theme for this years expo is aquatic:

*** Thanks & Credit to Shadow @ Deviant Art for the use of their stock photo for the background of this pic***

We also have some great freebies for you all to enjoy :) Hope to see you there!
