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!

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!

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!

A Beautiful Unicorn to Celebrate the Grand Opening of a Beautiful Sim

This weekend a wonderful Grand Opening is taking place at the magical sim of Enchanted of Elven Realm.

I was approached by the lovely SeleneLily Galicia some weeks ago who asked me if I could make some unicorn poses for the sim that features unicorns... my interest was piqued, and after visiting the sim and meeting the delightful owner, Nalalie Montagne, I decided to make a unicorn pose prop instead! :D






I've made a copy version and a trans version and both are available at Enchanted for the grand opening at a special introductory price!



Also, 20% of all Studio Sidhe sales from the event will go to the Friends of Animals Fund! :D

Please come and show your support of the beautiful sim, participate in the photo contest or even in the poetry contest! :D You can win some awesome prizes and you can see some other amazing stores like Fallen Gods Inc and Simply Fae! You're sure to have a ball...

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!

Australia: The Lucky Country

Okay, so lucky atm Australia may not seem, with vicious floods destroying thousands of hectares of farmland, homes, & businesses and cutting off whole communities in central and northern Queensland. While at the same time the worst natural disaster our country has ever seen in the bushfires still destroying tracts of bushland, homes, families and loved ones in Victoria. The death toll currently stands at 181 people, the number of homes lost is in the thousands, and still it goes on.

So why are we so lucky you ask? We've got mates! and we see this very strongly in the awesome response of the SL community! It's really heartening to see so many people get behind this. The latest update on funds raised SO FAR is: $5,936.78 AUD!!! are you floored? I am! Keep up the good work!!!! :D

I've finally had a chance to go shopping for some absolutely fabulous items made some of the most talented & generous creators in SL!!! the selection shown in the pics is by no means all of them, in fact it's a fraction of them... I need to do more shopping! But I wanted to show off some of the things my friends Flippa Stella & Ziggy Quirk have gotten already!

All the proceeds from the items shown above [also see list below] are going to the Red Cross Victoria Bushfire Relief Fund.

Truth Hair No. 4 Faerified for the Victoria Bushfire Relief Fund

Hi everyone,

As I write this the official death toll in Victoria has reached 181 people... the fires are not over.

The latest figure I have for the amount of money raised in SL to help the survivors rebuild their lives and communities is in the"first 48 hours: 626,000 Lindens, and 2,600.00 USD = 3,962.93 AUD" (Autumn Hykova). An amazing effort so far! but I ask you to not let the momentum slide; this is the worst natural disaster in Australia's history.

What makes this worse (hard to believe it could be worse right?) this is not the only natural disaster going on in Australia right now; whole communities in Northern Queensland have been flooded a couple of times in five days & are expecting another deluge at the end of this week... people there have lost everything, but their lives, and yet these people are donating to the Victorian relief effort! So please consider when you see the footage and hear the news of the horrific magnitude of the Victorian bushfires; Australia's resources where already being stretched by efforts to assist the communities in Northern Queensland...

We still need your help.

I have just finished my latest contribution to the cause is a scarf to go with Truths beautiful hair made specifically to assist the Victorian Bushfire Relief fund. The texture used to make this scarf has it's own story relevant to what is happening in Victoria right now, to read the story behind it follow this [link]. When I saw Truths Victoria hair, I knew straight away that this would be perfect for a scarf to go with the hair.

100% of the proceeds from the sales of the scarves are of course going to the Red Cross Victoria Relief Fund. You can get it at Truths Store [HERE]

Thank you for your continuing support,

*hugs*
Faery

PLEASE help...

For those of you that don't know, I'm an Aussie... How you could have missed that, I'm not quite sure, cause I'm proud to be Australian, one of the things that makes me so proud is that when we see people in trouble, in need of a hand, we help them out. It doesn't matter where they're from, if we know them or not, or even if we have some personal connection to them... That's what we're known for, that we care.

Now we're asking you to help out the poor bastards in Victoria, you've probably seen it by now, there is one rip roarer of a bushfire going through that state, and it's merciless... It's killed nearly 200 people at the time I write this.

Thanks to Autumn Hykova & Dakota Buck, there is now a Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Relief Appeal in SL. You can find a donation booth in my store, and heaps more around the grid as more and more people jump on board. And you can also purchase the pendants I recently released (see below). 100% of proceeds from these sales is going to the relief fund. If all that is not for you then I encourage you to donate directly to Australian Red Cross .




Thanks everyone,
Cheers,

Faery.

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!

Studio Sidhe Joins the Autism Speaks in Second Life Campaign

Ok, so last week end I was supposed to hold my Grand Opening for my new store at Alpha Centauri, but due to technical difficulties had to postpone it until this weekend... LUCKILY! It was so one of those "meant to be" things, because during the week I found out about this wonderful cause that Daphne Molinari has bought to SL; Autism Speaks in Second Life.


Since reading Daphne's blog and contacting her, I have been busy setting up a combined event to both celebrate the opening of my new mainstore and raise funds for Autism Speaks. We will be holding a scavenger hunt at our new store tonight, Friday at 5pm SLT. The event will run for two hours and 50% of the proceeds will be donated to Autism Speaks =D.


You'll find a Kiosk at the store which allows you to donate directly to Autism Speaks in SL. We have also made a t-shirt to promote this cause (see pics) in two different versions. ALL of the money raised from the sale of the t-shirts will go to this cause AND we've also made a Free placard with sign hold animation and script to link you up with the Autism speaks website, so you can show your support and help to spread the word!

Now for the scavenger hunt details!:
You'll be looking for boxes, each one containing a store card valued at between $10L and $300L. (see pic)


How it works:


We hope to see you there, it's going to be fun, we'll be raising money for a great cause AND you get to check out my new shop! LOL
Take care,

~Faery~
