Heya folkz!

Happy Humping Day & also Happy Burns’ Day if you’re Scottish. ;-)

Unfortunately this note has to do more with the Chinese (maneh apologies to all ye Scots oot thar)…

----------------------------------

•.• ☪•.• Year of the Dragon Hunt •.• ☪•.•

I’ve made a couple Gifts for this Hunt celebrating the Chinese New Year

It’s a necklace & tattoo set (which don’t have to be worn together if you don’t want to) with an Oriental Dragon theme to both.

The hunt runs through February 23rd!

Here’s the first step on your journey: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Grand%20Isle/103/132/22/

CoLLisions: The Sequel

2012-01-21T21:11:00.000-08:00

Hidey Ho, folksies!

Forgive the lateness of this post (and the semi lame title) this week. Had a lot going on and even more things coming up! But let’s just skip the formalities and get to the goodness, shall we?

----------------------------------

•.• ☪•.• Taste of SL •.• ☪•.•

The theme this week is ‘Geek Chic’, so of course I couldn’t pass it up. ;-)

I’ve made 3 new Unisex chest tats with famous sayings from the Game of Thrones book & TV show.

Each is $25L through the weekend, and then will go up once Monday morning hits.

Here’s the full list of awesome Geeky goodness from Taste of SL this weekend!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪•.• New Releases •.• ☪•.•

I’ve also placed up 3 new sets of earrings up on the New Release wall!

This set I made a while back but just now getting it out for you all. It has little folded paper cranes & Happiness kanji charms. As an added bit of fun, the cranes & beads above them are colour change as well. \o/

This is my first item for Valentine’s this year. More will be coming I promise! Rich faceted rubies lead down to a ruby heart and a whimsical butterfly charm at the bottom of each earring. Super cute if you like ruby hearts, butterflies or both!

This one is named after my sweet friend, Clicquot Oh. Silver hoops frame a golden Kanji Peace symbol dangling inside with black beads above.

Each earring set is $75L as well.

Once again, don't forget the items at The Black Market before they're gone forever!

Have a wonderful weekend and stay out of the cold!

CoLLisions: The Stuff that Dreams are Made Of

2012-01-07T13:07:00.000-08:00

Okay maybe not but the title fits in with what’s in this post anyways. ;-)

----------------------------------

•.• ☪•.• Taste of SL •.• ☪•.•

The theme this week is “New Years Resolutions”. I’ll admit that this one was difficult to create for, but after a little bit of brainstorming I found something…

A Dreamcatcher necklace with Turquoise detail…

You can think of this one as a Resolution of:

a) getting more sleep
b) being more spiritual
c) learning about alternative cultures
d) starting a new hobby/craft
e) reading up on history
f) all of the above?

Whichever reason you prefer, the necklace is out at the main store and available for only $50L through Sunday.

----------------------------------

•.• ☪•.• For The Love Of… Millennium Hunt •.• ☪•.•

I’m also participating in the FTLO Millennium Hunt!

This isn’t like many other Hunts where you look for a special Hunt Object. Instead you’re looking around the main store for a product set to $1L. So, not only do you get an already made item at each store for an awesome discount, you also receive an extra Prize as well! Pretty good deal if you ask me. ;-)

Here’s the extra prize you can get from me:

And here's the first stop on the path:

•.• ☪•.• For Whatever Hunt •.• ☪•.•

Another year and another Hunt, as well. The For Whatever Hunt is also up and running for the duration of January with another new necklace up for grabs.

The necklace is named after a quite from the Mad Hatter in Alice in Wonderland, with the piece also being vaguely themed off the story.

Start of the Hunt: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Shameless/96/128/2

Just a Little More Holiday Cheer w/ CoLLisions

2011-12-17T10:00:00.000-08:00

Greetings and Salutations!

Hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend so far! :-)

Here’s a couple of news nuggets from me to tide you all over…

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Gothmas by Gaslight 2 Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

Just when you thought there weren’t enough Christmas Hunts out there already, right? ;-) Well this one is specifically centered on a more murky view of the Holiday with all Goth-related gifts.

I decided to try my hand at Hats for once, and this is what I came up with…

A festive Derby Hat to throw on if you’re ever feeling a bit left of center. ;-)

The Hunt goes on through January 15th, so you have some time left to grab it!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• A Taste of SL •.• ☪ •.•

As one would guess, Taste of SL this weekend has taken on a Christmas Theme! Specifically the theme deals with the 12 Days of Christmas and Christmas Carols in General.

Instead of dealing with the 12 Days of Christmas Song itself, I decided to focus a bit more on another Christmas song that has been with me since I was a kid in the early 80’s. I’d also wanted to make a snow-based tattoo for a long while, so this was the perfect opportunity to do so. :-)

The name comes from a hauntingly beautiful song from “The Snowman” which first came out in 1982. It’s still shown every year on British television for the holidays, but it was only shown in the US for a few of years before it slowly faded away.

The song has since been covered by many other artists such as Nightwish, Tangerine Dream, Kenny Loggins, Kurt Nilsen & the Celtic Woman concert series, but there’s just something magical about the original.

The tat is out and available for $50L this weekend only, so don’t miss it!

All the items available this weekend

----------------------------------

There’s also only one more day to grab the Master Key Jewelry Set at Fashionably Late before a new round begins!

----------------------------------

Stay warm & healthy while you all enjoy the holidays as much as you can!

CoLLisions is feeling Fashionably Late…

2011-12-12T09:21:00.000-08:00

Yes folkz, I’m in this week’s round of Fashionably Late! Along with lots of other amazing items you can grab this exclusive Jewelry Set for only $100L.

I’ve always been fascinated with ornamental keys. Not only does it open something that’s been locked away… it’s also is a piece of art in and of itself. :-)

The set is -only- available at the CHIC Sim from now until December 18th!

Don’t miss it!

CoLLisions Wishes you a Merry Twisted Krissmuss

2011-12-09T12:20:00.000-08:00

Hidey hoooo, folkz!

It’s that time of year again where we dig into our pockets and get ready to do all of that crazy last minute shopping, right? Even in SL we all have loved ones who enjoy a little Holiday cheer. ;-)

Well the Twisted Krissmuss Event is back once again to help with all that! Over 200 stores with all sorts of goodies available at discount prices, each one has at least one item out for $100L… some of them even less. Totally worth checking out!

----------------------------------

I’ve personally set out 2 sets of jewelry items for your Holiday Shopping pleasure…

This is named for the beautiful and sassy Acacia Bellios. If you’ve never heard her talk when she’s Djing, it’s well worth a listen. ;-) She has a soft spot for stars, so there are golden stars and opalesque crescent moons on the pendant.

The necklace also comes from a commission piece request I was given ages ago (and never quite finished, sadly) for a Harmony Ball. For those who don’t know… a Harmony Ball is a pendant often made for pregnant women to wear. As she moves, the soft sound of the bell inside the pendant is supposed to help calm down both Mother and Child.

Also available are Christmas versions in case you’re feeling a bit more festive with your gift giving.

The Christmas version will –only- be available for Twisted Krissmuss, so you better grab one before it’s all over!

Also… both necklaces feature a bell sound that you can turn on and off by touch. I’ve also made 2 sets of earrings to match, which are sold separately in case you don’t want both.

The items are also already wrapped up and ready to send after purchase. \o/

----------------------------------

Don’t forget about the Peatonville Mystery, Candy Cane 3 and Silver & Gold 2 Hunts still going on too if you haven’t had a chance to wander by and grab all the free goodies!

----------------------------------

Enjoy your Holiday and there will be more news and goodies soon!

A Little Joy & Cheer from CoLLisions

2011-12-01T09:57:00.000-08:00

My gosh, it’s already December! Wow this year went by fast, didn’t it? Well we still have 31 more days to go, so we all might as well make the best of it. :-)

Anyways here are a few quick updates for you all as you get all ready for the various holidays…

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Silver & Gold 2 Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

The 2nd annual Silver & Gold Hunt is underway with over 80 stores in the list. The theme is not just anything Silver or Gold but also about friendship. It actually comes from a cute little song I learned as a kid in Girl Scouts:

Make new friends,
But keep the old.
One is silver
And the other’s gold.

It’s meant to be sung in a round kinda like ‘Row, Row, Row Your Boat’ but I just like how four simple lines can mean so much. :-)

Anyways here’s my item for the hunt:

A silver and gold beaded chain that comes together into an elegant infinity symbol while a Kanji pendant signifying “Friendship” hangs below. It’ll be out from now until January 2nd, so don’t miss it!

Here’s the first stop in the hunt: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Secrets%20of%20Gaia/221/36/30

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• +Mabinogion+ Grand Opening •.• ☪ •.•

Airedine Poe of +>Adore & Abhor<+ has now opened a shop just for Fantasy-related items called +Mabinogion+ (named after a collection of Welsh Fairy Tales \o/ ). She’s celebrating the grand opening with not only some cool new items but also by sharing some awesome stuff from fellow designers as well!

I’m honored to be amongst those involved… many of whom I admire for their craft such as Pink Fuel, Evie’s Closet, Mudhoney The Sea Hole and of course Airedine's shop.

I’ve got 2 items over there discounted by 50% if you haven’t already snatched them yet! Which two? You’ll just have to go over and find out. ;-)

Do check it out as the event will be going on until December 10th!

Here's the Store itself! http://slurl.com/secondlife/MudHoney/168/233/534

Also don’t forget that the Peatonville Mystery & Candy Cane 3 Hunts are still in full swing! More goodies to be had!

CoLLisions: Now with Minty Freshness

2011-11-21T13:36:00.000-08:00

Christmas is just right the corner for many of us once again, and that means a lot of blinky lights, Santa hats and Little Drummer Boy carols. But it also means a time for good cheer and gift giving which is what I like most about it.

Here’s some cheer and gift giving for all of us to enjoy….

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Horror Haute •.• ☪ •.•

The November edition of Horror Haute is out! Once again lots of awesomeness to be had if you’re into the realm of horror, gothic and/or the supernatural.

My contribution is a necklace for those who wish to protect themselves from the savagery of werewolves…

A beaded necklace with skull beads included and a silver bullet pendant attached. The bullet also displays a crescent moon so that you’ll be sure exactly when to use it. ;-)

All the terrorific goodies will be out and discounted through November 30th.

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Candy Cane Hunt 3 •.• ☪ •.•

The 3rd annual Candy Cane Hunt has begun with a ton of holiday goodies available!

I actually made two things…. Couldn’t decide which to give so I put them both out!

A unisex necklace with large teardrop pendant and snowflake.

A pair of drop earrings showcasing sweet sugar plums around a delicate drop chain.

Both are in small peppermint cocoa mugs hidden in the store. Each is $1L and labeled in case you only want one or the other.
The hunt runs until December 25th, so don’t miss it!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Sarcoidosis Awareness Event •.• ☪ •.•

I’m one of a few designers participating in an event for Sarcoidosis Awareness that runs through November 30th.

Here’s a little more info about the disease:

What is Sarcoidosis?

I’ve got a small cart there along with many other designers, and I’ve set the Melancholy Delerium jewelry set up there to buy as a Donation. There will also be limited edition items up for raffle and showcases of various designers during the event. Please do check it out if you can!

A Simple Wish from CoLLisions

2011-11-19T13:29:00.000-08:00

I seem to have a thing for wishes. ;-) Who doesn’t? Wishes give us a reason to keep going even when the world seems hopeless. I’m all for that.

Anyways here’s a new necklace for this week’s Taste of SL…

This is for those who saw the older Wish Me Luck necklace and instead wanted something a bit more modest. It features a black marbleized beads and a miniature Wishbone pendant.

It’s $50L for this weekend so don’t miss it!

Remembrance & Peace w/ CoLLisions

2011-11-12T11:56:00.000-08:00

The weekend is upon us again!

Hope you’re all ready for the cold that’s starting to hit some of us. I personally am not a huge fan of snow or cold weather… but it has its moments. ;-)

Oh well, onto the news!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Taste of SL •.• ☪ •.•

Another weekend of Taste of SL, and this time it’s all about Saluting Heroes from Battle in observance of Veterens, Remembrance or Armistice Day.

I’ve placed out two necklaces for the occasion… based on the tradition of wearing Red or White Poppies (whether you prefer to remember those who were lost in war or instead to think more about peace without war).

These are $50L each for the weekend!

Here’s the full list of commemorative items available for Taste of SL as well!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• New Items •.• ☪ •.•

Two brand new tattoos out this weekend!

Another small and spiritual one for you all, this one features the Aum (Om) symbol surrounded by a tribal sun.

For those who aren’t aware, Aum (or Om) is the Dharmic symbol for the beginning, duration, and destruction of the universe all at once. It's often used at the beginning and ending of prayer in order to center oneself.

Also finally available is a Henna tat I originally made to complement Mirari Cheney’s wedding dress.

The tat is now available for everyone! \o/ It includes upper layers, gloves and a bindi tattoo… all in a floral motif.

***

Also a few of the old hunt items from the past couple of months will be up on the walls and on the Marketplace very soon!

Come on by the Main Store and take a peek!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Eldergoth Macabre October Release Party •.• ☪ •.•

The Eldergoth Macabre recently started hosting a new release party for Designers, which is also held on a different Eldergoth Featured Designer’s Sim each month. This month, the party’s on the Starlust Sim (where Schadenfreude, silent sparrow, October Rust & many other awesome shops are). The spot itself is a Rookery that hyasynth Tiramisu created & has used for past events.

Haus of Darcy, myself and other Gothic designers will have some items up while the tunes will be kickin’!

Come on down at 5pm SLT, shake your booty, and pick up some awesome schtuff!

----------------------------------

Don’t forget about the Peatonville Mystery Hunt still going on through January 6th! The build on the MadPea sim alone is worth the price of admission. :-)

Enjoy your weekend and stay warm!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Taste of SL & Save the Tatas •.• ☪ •.•

This week in Taste of SL is a very special one. The theme is "Think Pink" in commemoration of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Many stores on the list this weekend have not only placed out some amazing items, but they are also donating the proceeds for these items to the American Cancer Society.

My item is a new pair of earrings for the event

The name is from a Pink Floyd song (see? Pink!), but I also thought was fitting to remember those whom we've lost…

They're $25L for the ToSL event, and will remain $25L through Tuesday, October 18th. All proceeds from the earrings will be donated.

I've also marked a few items in the Main Store with small *Pink Ribbons*. Each of those items as well will also have the proceeds donated through the 18th.

Why the 18th? Besides that being my RL birthday… and it's a special dedication to my mother who lost her fight with Breast Cancer back in 1988.

Please do pick these items up… if anything to help a very worthy cause. :-)

Here's the full list of awesomeness for ToSL #68:

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Hallow's Eve Couture Fashion Show •.• ☪ •.•

It's both a full jewelry AND tattoo set that's based on two Goddesses from the Drow Elf Pantheon in the Dungeons & Dragons (as in geeky gaming) Forgotten Realms (as in –awesome-) World.

Included in this crazy pack are:

* Necklace
* Drop Earrings
* Navel Ring
* Bindi
* Full Tattoo Layers in both Regular & Drow shades (black & white)

Some Terrorific Newness @ CoLLisions!

2011-10-10T14:30:00.000-07:00

Happy Monday folkz!

Yes this note is going out a bit later than I hoped but better late than never! ;-)

I got some newness available for you all and another spooky Hunt for you guys to sink your teeth into.

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Tales of Terror Scavenger Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

This is not your typical Hunt by any means. First off you pick up a HUD for $100L and then follow the clues on 6 different Halloween-Themed Sims to pick up items from some of your favorite shops.

The item I'm offering is a special Wiccan related jewelry set for the occasion…

You can pick up a HUD and start following the clues here:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Foresaken%20Night/133/130/51

This hunt runs through the 31st so there's plenty of time to grab all the awesome gifts!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• New Tattoo Releases •.• ☪ •.•

I decided to return to my roots and create some smaller designs for a while.

This includes a request I received from a few lovely peoples to simply do Armbands without the rest of the tat so that they can mix & match a lot more.

Here's the first two packs I've finished so far!

These are in sets of 3 in all standard SL clothing layers & only $75L for each pack!

I also felt I needed to create some more Kanji spine tats since I've always loved doing them, and so here's the newest one entitled "Life is Beautiful" from the Sixx AM song. :-)

I also got an idea for a new, absolutely adorable chest tat based on those immortal words from 'Princess Bride'… "As You Wish". You can just imagine Carey Elwes whispering that in your ear, right? Oh wait that's my wish… *^_^*

All 4 of these are now up on the New Release Wall in the Main Store!

----------------------------------

Also, don't forget that you've got 'til the 15th to pick up the awesome gifts from the Macabre, Celebration of the Arts, and the Taste of SL Fall Hunts!

Also the ** Number of the Beast Sale** is still going on for a few more weeks! ;-)

Have a wonderfully ghoulish week!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Taste of SL ~ Week #66 •.• ☪ •.•

The theme for this week's Taste of SL is 'Camping Out' and for fun I decided to try out an idea I've had for a little bit…

There's separate Men's & Women's necklaces for this one with criss-crossed wooden matches and intertwined red hearts on a silver chain.

Just something cute for you and your sweetheart. ;-)

Each necklace is $50L through this weekend.

Here's the full list of Campy goodness for you all as well!

Taste of SL Camping Out

•.• ☪ •.• Taste of SL Fall Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

And there's also a new Fall Hunt from Taste of SL as well! Only 41 stores so you should be able to do the whole hunt in a few hours. :-)

My addition is an Autumn-themed necklace with delicate leaf and acorn detailing.

The hunt runs for only 2 weeks so you better grab 'em fast!

Here's the Starting point: http://slurl.com/secondlife/The%20Hidden%20Isle/66/127/22

Good luck!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Creepy Classics Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

Another small hunt for you that's perfect for the Halloween season! This hunt is based around all sorts of Classic movie creatures like Dracula, Frankenstein and even the Creature from the Black Lagoon.

My offering is based on one of many 60's films that paired the works of Edgar Allen Poe & the late great Vincent Price together in perfectly horrific awesomeness.

Psst. Take a close look at the oblong beads for a creepy surprise! ;-)

Your Starting Point is here, so enjoy: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Archers/226/31/57

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• D is for Deviant Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

Another month and another Letter! This time it's 'Deviant' which leaves much to the imagination of both the Stores and Hunters! With it being October and all, I'm sure you'll all find many ghoulish treats along the way…

I'm proud to be one of the 4 Sponsors of the Hunt this go around along with Sugar & Spice, Avante Poses & Serenity Designs.

This is special chain rosary features a Raven skull, black feather & dark skull along with some subtle red marble beads.

The hunt starts here and with 30 locations you should get through it pretty quick: http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Tortuga%20Shoal/180/207/1008

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Number of the Beast Sale! •.• ☪ •.•

"Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
for the Devil sends the beast with wrath
because he knows the time is short.
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the beast
for it is a human number…
Its number is six hundred and sixty six."

As it's Halloween Season again (and my absolute favorite time of year) it's gotta be time for another sale, right?

This time I decided to have fun with it and throw a '666' sale! Any Halloween-related item in either the Main Store or the Transylvania Satellite store has been set to either $6L or $66L for your devilish pleasure. This is gonna run from October 1st through the 30th so grab as much stuff as you can while it's all sinfully dirt cheap!

----------------------------------

I know I did promise a Group Gift last week, and no I haven't forgotten! That will be out sometime soon! :-)

Stay healthy and warm as many of us head into the colder part of the year!

Comics, Circuses and Causes @ CoLLisions

2011-09-17T09:09:00.000-07:00

Howdy folkz!

Just some quick news for ya!

----------------------------------

First off, the Jewelry Fair has finally opened with amazing builds this year based on the 4 elements. I'm on the Earth Sim with 2 brand new items out for the Oxfam charity.

Portuguese for 'Sunset', this unisex necklace has a Sante Fe style to it with soft white feathers and bold reds & blues. In the middle of the pendant is a red sun flanked by silver waves/clouds.

These drop earrings feature tiny folding fans with gold detailing and bold red tones.

Can check out the rest of the Earth Sim here with teleporters there as well for the other 3 Elemental sims to check out:

----------------------------------

Also starting this weekend are 2 more hunts!

•.• ☪ •.• Celebration of the Arts Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

For the Celebration of the Arts Hunt, I decided to celebrate the art of Comic Books. In particular, I've chosen the art of an independent comic called 'Strangers in Paradise'. The most popular character from the book is a blonde bombshell named Katchoo, and the gift features her likeness on two stylish pendants

There's both women's and men's sizes available, aaaaaand you can also wear the necklaces separately if you wish. \o/

Start of the Hunt is here and well worth it!

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Grand%20Isle/199/165/22

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Fall Macabre Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

The Macabre Hunt is back! This time the theme is 'Cirque du Diabolique' or the Devil's Circus, which means you'll see a ton of items that make the circus so scary for most of us.

My gift ties into many people's fear of clowns.

The name is from an old Bee Gees song (pre Saturday Night Fever era) that is both so moving yet kinda creepy at the same time. The includes a face tattoo and piercing combo.

Start of the Hunt is here:

Have a wonderful weekend and stay tuned as a new Group Giftie will be available very, very soon. :-)

CoLLisions is Feeling a Little Magical

2011-09-03T10:16:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the weekend, folkz!

Even better… it's a long weekend for peeps in the USA & Canada! Yes a weekend where we celebrate the fruits of our Labor by… doing as little as possible. :-P

Just one quick but of newness before you all sink back into your sofa cushions:

----------------------------------

Taste of SL #62 is underway with a Witches & Wizards theme. Many would suspect that it would be all Harry Potter-related, right? Well there is a lot in the list for all you Potter Fans, but since I did a Potter item already I decided to go back for yet another round of 80's nostalgia…

This necklace is based on that crooked little wand from the 1988 movie, 'Willow'. Yes the film that made Warwick Davis famous, and showed us that Val Kilmer can still be sexy with brown hair. Also Jean Marsh (who played Queen Bavmorda) scared me more than Voldermort ever could.

The necklace is $25L for the weekend and Unisex (can't forget the guys!).

Oh and here's the rest of the items for sale this weekend too for your magical fix:

Cheers!

Four Hunts and a Funeral @ CoLLisions

2011-09-01T10:15:00.000-07:00

Okay maybe not the funeral part but the title sounded catchy. ;-)

Anyways there's 4 new Hunts starting today that I'm participating in, and that means some free goodies for all of you! Check 'em out!

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• C is for Carnival Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

This is an ongoing Hunt based on various letters of the alphabet, and this one involves a Carnival/Circus theme! I went with the idea that Fireworks are often a good addition to any Carnival, but added Autumn tones to it since most of us are heading into that season very soon…

Here's the first stop on the Hunt, but I'm pretty close to the beginning of the path:

http://maps.secondlife.com/secondlife/Cyberstar/30/198/2503

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• American Bazaar Birthday Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

This one is celebrating the 1st anniversary of the American Bazaar Mainstore and all sorts of awesome folks are involved including myself & SAKIDE right across the way. ;-) I made a cute little charm bracelet for this one with pastel bottle caps and tiny taffy pieces.

And here's the first place on this one too, right at the namesake of the Hunt itself:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Angels%20Base/132/98/25

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Steam Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

I was given the privilege this year to be involved with the uber awesome Steam Hunt! This is the 5th installment and it's still going strong with lots of kickass Steampunk items to be had. I made a pair of necklaces for this with a greenish theme and lots of gear goodness…

There's separate necklaces for guys and gals, but if you wanna try and resize the women's necklace, you're more than welcome ;-)

And here's the SLurl to get you going and looking for kooky gears…

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Mieville%20Doyle/80/73/26

----------------------------------

•.• ☪ •.• Twisted Hunt •.• ☪ •.•

And last, but certainly not least, the Twisted Hunt has returned for another round of demented fun! The theme for this one is 'Unseelie' which is a term often associated with Dark Faeries. Expect to see a lot of Fae-related items this time including my own giftie…

A full body tattoo design (including face tat) for those who are willing to embrace the Dark Fae. It's named after the Queen of the Faeries who's also often an antagonist in most tales, Queen Mab.

I made the top layers with and without the wings, in case you prefer to wear prim wings with it instead.

Get started here, and prepare to get a little more Twisted along the way…

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lasombra/121/170/25

----------------------------------

Of course The Anime Hunt and the Peaster's Castle Hunt (which requires a HUD to participate) are still going on as well so don't forget to stop by and pick up those gifties while you still can!

Love, Luck and Lollipops…

Am I Evil? CoLLisions has the Answer!

2011-08-27T09:26:00.000-07:00

Hola and Salutations!

First off I want to offer my sincere concern for all those on the East Coast of the US who are dealing with Hurricane Irene. I barely missed it myself being 300 miles from the water (in North Carolina) but I know that those closer to the action are no doubt incredibly miserable. :-(

As for a release… I know I'm a little late getting this out, but dealing with the weather has been a good part of my attention for the past few days.

There's a necklace out for Horror Haute until the end of next week. It's Unisex (so go ahead and grab it boys if you dig it) that's based on the Hamsa Hand of protection from Jewish & Muslim beliefs. It's complemented with red and black beads as well and a red "evil eye" at the center.

Pick it up for $50L at the Main Store before the event is over!

Full List of August Horror Haute Items

And please, everyone, be safe this weekend. :-)

CoLLisions Opens at the Close

2011-08-20T07:52:00.000-07:00

Wow it's Saturday already?

At least this will be a quick note for you guys, though a similar quick note will be out in the next or so with some more info. ;-)

----------------------------------

Taste of SL 60 is out! It's another Freestyling Week, though it seems a few of us had Harry Potter on the brain with the new RP Sim opening soon. I certainly did…

This is an abstract version of the Snitch with silver wings like in the books. :-) Wear it with or without your school uniform. We won't mind.

Check out the full list for this week to grab a lot more awesomeness!

----------------------------------

Also CoLLisions is participating in Goth Pride this weekend! A collaboration between businesses, clubs and groups in both the Goth and LGBT SL community as well as both DJs and live acts. It's running through Sunday at the Nexropolis Club with lots of awesomeness to be had!

Be sure to check it out! :-)

Please do enjoy your weekend as much as you can and stay out of the yucky heat outside! <3

Inspiration, Flowers & Fairy Sparkles

2011-08-13T16:51:00.000-07:00

Happy Weekend once again, folkz!

There's a few more goodies out on the new release wall to be had… yup yup!

I had a double dose of inspiration this week…

The first is a new ladies tattoo created with dainty fairy wings and pixie sparkles.

This comes from a special piece I made months ago as a custom for my friend, Kelly Ingrassia. She loved it so much and I decided to modify it and make a new one dedicated to her. :-)

----------------------------------

The second is for fellow blogger, Gillian Galicia whom took a chance not long ago and did a blog post featuring 2 of my items. I don't think I would be where I am now without her graciousness.

These long drop earrings feature droopy flower petals and pearleqsue faceted pear cut briolettes.

Gillian was so full of glee that she's already blogged these! ;-)

----------------------------------

And finally since I felt in a floral kind of mood, there's also a pair of soft purple flowers resting upon black dangling hoops.

All of these are now up on the New Release Wall at the Main Store!

Enjoy :-)

PS: Don't forget to pick up all the Hunt Items still out for this month!

CoLLisions Shifts from Dark to Light

2011-08-06T07:43:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday once again!

After you've all gone out and grabbed a ton of stuff for the kiddos (and a few things for yourself, right?) during Tax Free Weekend… hopefully you won't be too worn out to do a little extra shopping in SL as well. ;-)

Sooooooo I know I'm a little late on telling you all about the goodies this week, but it's so worth it I promise! Let's get right to all the news…

----------------------------------

3 Amazing Gridwide Hunts start this week and CoLLisions is proud to be a part of each one…

The first is the 2nd Supernatural Hunt which has the theme "In the Dark" this time around. For this one I decided to make a piece of jewelry based around a game that is both supernatural in nature and often played…. in the dark. ;-)

The piece features a leather cord design with crescent moon pentacle and pendant displaying a special round version of an early 20th century Ouija board. The necklace is unisex and certainly worth picking up. :-)

The Supernatural Hunt runs through August 31st!

Here's the first stop on the Hunt:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Reykjanes/47/153/37

----------------------------------

Moving slightly away from the darkness, there's also The Anime Hunt!

This one is a much smaller Hunt that can be done in an hour or two since there are just 23 locations. :-) Each creator has made an item based on some form of Japanese Anime or Manga.

My contribution is a tattoo based on one of my favorite Anime series of all time, Cowboy Bebop.

The piece shows off various quotes from the series along with a musical motif and a picture of Spike Spiegel (one of the main characters) on the back.

This Hunt is certainly a must for Anime fans and runs until September 4th!

The first location for this one:

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Epic%20Sanctuary/26/59/21

----------------------------------

And the 3rd hunt for this month leads us even more towards the light…

Mad Pea has created a new Hunt called 'Peasters Castle' which combines the traditional Gridwide Hunt with games that Mad Pea is most known for!

The Hunt actually starts not in a store but in a Castle where you wander through a series of puzzles to get all the various store hints and eventually find a vault of treasure at the end. ;-)

Here's the link to the Castle (which is totally worth going to see):

http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hoshi%20Island/165/188/22

After wandering through the Castle, you can grab a HUD for $100L and then go visit each store location to find one of 50 keys to get you into a huge prize vault at the end. When there's more than $50,000L worth of prizes from other stores such as Fallen Gods, Frippery, Razorblade Jacket, Dreamscapes Art Gallery and Julia Collection, a $100L HUD is totally worth it.

My items? Oh yeah…

You can grab a special leather cord Gamers necklace (complete with 6 sided dice) from the store, and then a matching bracelet in the Prize Vault.

You can also pick up a HUD at the Mainstore right next to the entrance to get you started, and there's plenty of time for this one as the Hunt runs until September 30th.

----------------------------------

Finally, there's a lot of new awesomeness about the Dark Tranquility Sim!

The Sim has been rebuilt to reflect an even more organic feel and Kinu has also rebranded her store from Sassy Kitty Designs to SAKIDE. It still the same wonderful clothing and accessories we've all come to know and love… just with a new name.

As an added bit of coolness, SAKIDE was chosen as the spotlight store for Taste of SL this weekend! She's got a regular item out on discount for folks to pick up, but also as long as you wear your Taste of SL tag in the Shoppers Group you can grab an extra gift.

Oh yeah… I've got a new Henna Tat out as well to go with this week's theme, "Summer of Love".

Here's the full list of Designers and items for Taste of SL this week…

----------------------------------

Whew! Still with me? The two items from the Fashion Freaks Warehouse are now at the Mainstore in case you missed them, as well!

Please do enjoy your weekend and don't go too broke at the stores, virtual and otherwise. ;-)

2011-07-23T08:53:00.000-07:00

Howdy folkz!

Another week to go and we'll be out of July! Hopefully July will take all the heat with it…

Anyways I got another discounted item up for Taste of SL this week. With the theme being 'Summer Blockbusters', I decided to set my Se7en inspired tattoo to 50% off.

So if you haven't picked it up yet, now's a good time to strut on over and take a look! I've also discounted it on the SL Marketplace for the duration of the weekend in case you can't make it over to the store. And yes guys, it's Unisex so you can wear it too!

Oh and here's the full list of Taste of SL goodies this weekend.

----------------------------------

Don't forget about the Fashion Freaks Warehouse event still going on until August 3rd! Still lots of great deals to be had. The 2 items I have there will go up in price once the event is over.

Limo to the Warehouse

----------------------------------

There will be lots of awesome hunts & events coming up in both August and September along with some new releases I will finish at some point, I promise!

Also Sassy City will be getting a facelift very soon, so stay tuned! \o/

Red Alert! Some New & Discounted Schtuff

2011-07-16T09:19:00.000-07:00

Happy Saturday folks!

Here's some shopping newness to help get your minds (at least briefly) off how in the heck you'll be able to get Harry Potter tickets at the last minute. ;-)

----------------------------------

I've got 2 brand new items at the Freaks Warehouse sponsored by the Fashion Freaks Group. Head on over to find lots of discounted goodies from some of your fav designers and also discover a new designer you may not have known is out there. ;-)

For me it's a jewelry set and a new tattoo:

This is a rework of the Totenkopf set for those who are not quite into the creepy skulls. It features soft teardrop pearls with a color change script so that you can switch them depending on your mood.

Anyone who's a Sci-Fi geek will get the reference to the name of the tat. ;-) This is a 3/4 length Unisex design with some portions able to be tinted to suit your techie and/or fashion needs.

Both of these items will be at the Warehouse until August 3rd at a discount before they're placed in the main store at regular price.

Sassy Kitty Designs is also participating with some sexy dresses out for sale. \o/

Check it all out here!

Limo to the Warehouse

----------------------------------

Taste of SL Week 55 is out, and it's perfect for lovers of the color, Red. Everything this week is red and there's lots of awesome goodness to be had.

For me, I am discounting the Bullet the Red Sky Jewelry Set by 50%.

But… there's some added perks now too. Right next to it is a set of matching earrings which I've made per the request of a customer who suggested the set would be more "complete" with them added. I'll let you all be the judge. ;-)

Finally... if you grab both the set and the earrings, I'll donate the money to Relay for Life.

So there you go… awesome jewelry AND donating to a worthy cause. :-)

Oh and here's the full list of red hot items available this weekend:

However there is still some time to grab the Gifts from the Taste of SL Hunt (ends July 15th) aaaaaand...

This gift from the Skull-n-Bones Hunt:

The Hunt is Pirate-themed and I felt it needed some more 80's nostaligia. ;-)

The pendant is set up that when you click it, it will switch between 5 different quotes from the film.

Guten Tag meine Herren und Frauen!

Yeah I got German on the brain at the moment, but you'll understand why if you keep reading I promise. There's a lot to cover in this note, so sit back… grab some java before you dig in. ;-)

----------------------------------

Have you heard about the CHS Photo Contest, yet? There's still time to participate! We’ve gotten some amazing photos so far of the ladies, but only 1 submission for the guys (so far) and no sexy couples yet. You've got until July 6th to get those in and we'd love to give all the awesome prizes to you deserving guys & couples as well.

Here's the Link again in case you missed it:

Link to the CHS Photo Contest Flickr Page

In addition to the prizes listed, Aydan has also just announced that she's adding a $2000L prize for the winners AND each entry who wears Haus of Darcy jewelry in their photo will receive a pre-release piercing. So yes… now there's even MORE reason to enter, right? ;-)

----------------------------------

Another Hunt prize? Yup another one... This time it's for the Midsummer Night's Dream II Hunt. I decided to try some new things for this one and made two sets of Elven Arm Bands based on the King & Queen of the Fairies…

The Hunt Objects in this one each cost $1L, and there are over 200 stores... so it's best to do this one in small chunks unless you're really into doing an Ironman Hunt Marathon. ;-)

Here's the first stop and good luck!

Link to Kastle Rock Couture

----------------------------------

Taste of SL is back with another weekend installment as well. Fitting perfectly with the above Midsummer's Hunt, ToSL has a "Once Upon a Time" theme this time around!

My item is a Unisex (because the guys need love too) necklace based on one of the most beloved Fantasy books & movies from our youth… The Neverending Story.

Included is both Scripted and Unscripted versions of the necklace. The Scripted one opens up and shows off a special treat from the original book, itself. For those who are not aware, the book is split between text in green and purple to differentiate both Atreyu's & Bastian's stories. Also a phrase that Michael Ende placed throughout is in there to truly prove that everyone's story is neverending. :-)

JUST for ToSL, I've also included the non scripted necklace with the original German title on the cover and a larger Book prop for you to display if you wish. A pretty awesome deal for only $75L, huh?

Oh and here's the whole list of Fairy Tale items to be had this weekend:

Link to the List

----------------------------------

Also out next to the ToSL item is my contribution for the June Horror Haute Event!

This Necklace & Earring set is also $75L for the event. The necklace features a sleek Byzantine chain design and dangling metallic skulls. Dangle earrings are included as well to complete the spooky look.

This one will be out a bit longer than the ToSL item at this price, but after that it will go up so don't miss out!

PS: The name means 'Skull of Death' if you're not so brushed up on your German. ;-)

Here's the Horror Haute list as well:

----------------------------------

Whew! Welp that wraps up the news for this week!

Don't forget about the Depraved Hunt, Hollywood Walk of Fame Hunt, ToSL Hunt AND the ToSL Gatcha event still going on!

Are You Ready for True Blood?

2011-06-24T14:31:00.000-07:00

Yup I'm all giddy for the new season and we still got 2 more days to wait. GAH!

Welp to make the wait a little less painful I sent out some special themed Gifties to the CoLLisions Group.

Want one? Well go get in the Group! ;-) These will only be in the cue until the Premiere on Sunday (or when I remember to take them out).

Want a peek?

Just a hint... it ain't the dress. ;-) But the dress -is- a True Blood themed piece from Sn@tch! ;-)

PS: I am totally 'Team Eric'. Duh

2011-06-15T16:50:00.000-07:00

Howdy Ho folkz! Hope everyone is having a good Humping Day so far. ;-)

I promised that there would be a lot of info for you on the 15th and here it is…

----------------------------------

First and foremost, CoLLisions, Haus of Darcy & Sassy Kitty Designs have teamed up for a special Photo Contest Event from June 15th to July 6th!

There's a ton of goodies to be had and even 3 different Photo Categories to participate in!

Click on the Link to learn more!

Link to the Flickr Group & Rules

----------------------------------

I'm also involved with the Taste of SL Birthday Events which includes both the Gridwide Hunt and the Gacha Boardwalk Festival.

Here's what's available from the Hunt:

Yeah originally I made the top one just for the gals and the other just for the guys, but then I realized that there are some guys who aren't afraid to wear pink and a few girls who like creepy skulls so I resized and made them available for both genders. ;-)

Here's the Link for the first stop and all the Hints!

As for the Gacha Event…

I've made 22 different necklaces that you can pick up from the machine based on the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot. Each one has a special parchment card design that is inspired by the artwork of Leonardo DaVinci.

Each necklace is $35L a play and the boxes are transfer so you can trade them around if you want. :-)

Oh yeah and they're Unisex to boot!

Pick them up here…

CoLLisions Takes a Walk on the Wild Side

2011-06-11T10:32:00.000-07:00

And the colored girls say, "Doo Da Doo Da Doo, Da Da Da Doo Da Doo Da Doo, Da Da Da Doooooooooooo" or something like that.

If there was ever a song that totally became an instant Earworm, it was Lou Reed's classic tune "Walk on the Wild Side".

So of course I had the darn song in my head the whole time I was making these new earrings for Taste of SL this weekend. And why not since the theme is a bit wild in its own right with '@ the Zoo'.

Twenty-four awesome designers have items out between now and Sunday night for a special low price. So check them all out!

Here's the Full List of Participants

----------------------------------

Also this weekend is the beginning of the Hollywood Walk of Fame II Hunt which features stores whom have made items relating to a specific celebrity or movie. Mine is based off Ralph Fiennes and his portrayal of Lenny Nero in the 1995 film, 'Strange Days'.

The Unisex tat features quotes from Lenny in the film along with some grungy ascetic drips and cracks.

----------------------------------

The Depraved Summer Hunt is still going on through June 30th and the 50% Off Manly Sale is still around until the 15th! But don't worry… on the 15th there will be a few more awesome things to participate in so stay tuned. ;-)

Enjoy your Weekend!

CoLLisions Gets All Philosophical & Starry-Eyed

2011-06-06T12:24:00.000-07:00

Heya folkz!

Got some new schtuff out for you all this week!

Along with the Paranormal & Lulu's Cage Necklaces, there are 4 brand new tattoos on the New Release wall!

It's been a while since I got out a new star tat, and folks were asking so I managed to get this one done for you all! Various styles & sizes of stars in soft blue and grey shades run from the right shoulder down to the left hip with just a little extra dose of dazzle on each upper arm.

There's also 3 brand new chest tattoos… with each of the sayings being -very- old school, indeed.

Most people have heard this saying in Latin (Nosce te ipsum) or how the Matrix movies translated it (Temei Nostrae), but its origins actually come from ancient Greece. Hence this tat has been translated into the original Greek pronunciation.

But Latin sayings have not been left out. ;-)

As Robin Williams said in 'Dead Poets Society', "Carpe Diem. Seize the day, boys. Make your lives extraordinary." This tat was fashioned to encompass those very words and remind us all to live for the moment.

And we can't forget those who prefer to hide from the Sun as well. ;-)

Enjoy your week and don't forget about the Men's & Unisex 50% off Sale going on through June 15th!

A Manly Sale & Some Kisses from CoLLisions

2011-06-01T07:08:00.000-07:00

Happy HumpingDay Folkz!

Here's a bit of news to tide you all over for a little while longer…

First and foremost, some of the men's and unisex items are going 'bye bye' here soon so before they go away I've decided to mark them all down 50% off! This includes both Jewelry and Tats, yay! If you were waiting on getting any of them before, well now you have a better reason. ;-)

These are -only- marked down at the Main Store Location (not SL Marketplace or Satellite Stores) so you'll have to come by to check them out! The sale runs from now until June 15th!

------------------------------------------

If you missed the Miasma & Elixir Earrings, well don't worry! The Horror Haute Event has been extended until the weekend. So now you have another few days to grab both sets for only $50L.

------------------------------------------

Finally, both CoLLisions and Sassy Kitty Designs are participating in the Depraved Summer Nights Hunt, so yes you'll be popping over to Dark Tranquility twice as you go along. Altogether there are 86 stores and 5 'hidden' stores along the way to look for.

Here's Sassy Kitty's Giftie:

My own contribution is a set of 5 little Guitar Pick Mouth Noms with cute pink lips and Mother-of-Pearl style Picks. Each Pick is made based on Songs with 'Kiss' in the title. No actual song from the band KISS, but those will come later. ;-)

Here's the SLURL to get you started:
http://slurl.com/secondlife/Depraved%20Nation/105/18/29

Don't forget that the Darkness Inside Hunt & Macabre Hunt are still going as well for a few more days!

2011-05-25T08:28:00.000-07:00

Yes you read that right!

CoLLisions is participating in the first Horror Haute Sales Event from May 25th through 31st. Horror, you say? How can you be both gruesome and stylish at the same time? Well the 10 designers on this list for May have done that and more...

Here's the Full List of Stores

My item photo got a little squished in the process but I promise it looks better on the vendor. See?

These earrings feature tiny skulls as beads and antique-style bottles marked 'Poison' and 'Antidote'. Can either wear each set alone or mix the two types of earrings. I've placed uber large samples by the vendor so you can see the details a bit better.

These earrings will be $50L for the duration of the Event. After that, however, the price is going up so you better grab 'em while you can!

PS: The Nostalgia Necklace is now on the New Release Wall if you missed it!

CoLLisions is Like... Totally Rad, Okay?

2011-05-21T08:31:00.000-07:00

I'll admit that I am definitely a child of the 80's. I still enjoy a good medley of 80's hair band tunes and remember how much of my young life was wasted playing Pac Man. :-P

Taste of SL has decided to embrace the "Me Decade" with special discounted items for Saturday & Sunday at 10 awesome stores, and I'm participating! \o/

The necklace is a mixture of many different 80's fads like Rubik's Cube, Day-Glo Colors and those catchy Black & White Print Shirts from Katharine Hamnett. The front of the pendant can be touched to change between 5 different phrases in Katharine Hamnett's style.

You can pick this forr only 50L through Sunday at the Main Store along with 9 other bodacious items from some of SL's best designers.

Have a Bitchin' Weekend and be Excellent to Each Other. ;-)

Oopsies w/ the Macabre Hunt Gift :-/

2011-05-18T14:19:00.001-07:00

This is what happens when you are stuck finishing up the Hunt item at the 11th Hour. :-P

The Macabre Hunt Gift is supposed to have a small photo of Louise Brooks in the pendant, but silly me forgot that it was a temporary texture when I first made it. :-P

The necklace has been fixed and replaced in the Hunt Object. I apologize that I didn't catch it sooner. :-/

Please do stop back and pick it up again if you got the prize before yesterday afternoon. *^_^*

Caged Within the Macabre @ CoLLisions

2011-05-16T09:52:00.000-07:00

Hey all!

I know I'm a bit late with this news, but RL had other plans for me this past weekend. :-P

Anyways CoLLisions is involved with yet another awesome edition of the Macabre Hunt! The themes of each Hunt just keep getting spookier and freakier, and that's what makes it so intriguing and addictive. This time around it's "Pandora's Box" which can be taken in so many directions.

My interpretation is a bit more literal, since I'm such a movie geek.

This Unisex necklace features a thick, dual linked chain which leads down towards a deep red cage pendant. Inside is a ethereal image of Louise Brooks and her role within the classic 1929 silent film, "Pandora's Box". Her characterization of the tragic Lulu in this film solidified her as a truly gifted actress and entertainer, even though her career in Hollywood was cut way too short.

It's available through the Hunt until June 4th! Just look around the Main Store for a red apple.

Enjoy your week!

CoLLisions Embraces the Darkness

2011-05-07T16:50:00.000-07:00

Hey there folks!

Another note, I know... but this will be quick. ;-)

There's a new Hunt Gift out for the Darkness Within Hunt!

A little bit of darkness coming forth from the small cracks within this Unisex design... with a special poem along the back (written by me).

This will be out for the Hunt until June 7th do don't miss out!

------------------

I've also finally (after years of being lazy) have made a Flickr Group! :-D

Happy Mother's Day

2011-05-06T13:21:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day a little early this year. Of all holidays, I feel that Mother's Day on SL is severely overlooked. So I've started a tradition of giving out a special Group Gift every year for all mothers.

This year it's a special textured version of the Rosary in green to celebrate Gaea (the Earth Mother). Enjoy and be sure to call your mom. ;-)

A Little Sublime Paranormal Promise from CoLLisions

2011-05-01T20:44:00.000-07:00

Happy Beltane/May Day/Yom HaShoah to you all!

Here are some updates of things going on lately with the store…

------------------------------------------

First off… most of the items from the Japan Fundrasiers & the Fantasy Faire are now up and the main store and satellite stores! I'll be adding them to the Marketplace very soon, but at least for now you can grab them off the various walls of the In-World locations. ;-)

------------------------------------------

A new and (kinda) new jewelry items for the ladies up on the New Release wall!

First is the Paladin's Promise necklace which I promised (no pun intended) would be out later on in more colours.

This piece now has a menu so you can change the colours of the beads, wings, and rose separately. 6 different pastel shades are available. :-)

After the popularity of the Sakura earrings, I decided to make more earrings as singles. This is the first of many. These drop earrings feature a polished silver star intermixed with turquoise & red jasper accents.

------------------------------------------

The first of 3 Grid-Wide Hunts CoLLisions is participating in this month is the Supernatural Hunt. This one runs from May 1st – 31st with all the items being related to the Supernatural or Fantastical.

My contribution is the Paranormal Necklace which is perfect for your Ghost Hunting needs. It includes a silver Pentacle, Kawaii Skull and a bottle of Rock Salt (commonly used to ward off evil spirits) on a silver bead chain.

Also don't forget that the One Night in SL Hunt is still going on until May 8th! Only 1 more week to pick up the Kaedy's Prayer Rosary! :-)

Enjoy your week!

CoLLsions is Feeling Broken yet Full of Hope

2011-04-19T23:26:00.000-07:00

Blame my own procrastination for not telling you all about this sooner. *^_^*

Zombina Gunawan, the mastermind behind the Dead Dolls of SL Group & Society has brought together many Goth, Punk and other "darkish" designers for a special fundraiser to benefit the Japan Relief efforts as well.

The Broken Charity Event is going on from April 18th to 22nd and CoLLisions is proud to be one of the Sponsors.

I've once again placed out the 4 items from the Pacific Relief Event (for those who missed them before) and also 2 new items:

A special limited edition of the Moonlight Sonata Facial Tattoo in Red.

and...

A dual set of cord necklaces based around Goblin tinkerer fables. Inside the little jar are tiny gears that any Goblin would like to take and use in his next mischievous invention. ;-)

Go pick 'em up here:

... and see all the other awesome designers at the event too!

Embrace the Night w/ CoLLisions

2011-04-09T10:42:00.000-07:00

Heya folks! Just a quick note for you guys this weekend…

There's a new hunt item out in the store for the One Night in SL Hunt with gifts which are all related to things you do during the nighttime.

My contribution is actually based (loosely) on a necklace given to me IRL by my SL Momma, Kaedy Ferarris… hence the name. ;-)

It's a special Rosary made with Mother-of-Pearl, Hematite and Lapis beads which are specifically ordered to represent different aspects of Wiccan lore:

13 = Lunar cycles of the year
8 = Wiccan celebrations each year
5 = Basic 4 elements + Spirit
4 = Seasons of the Year

Of course there is also a stylized pentacle link and Goddess pendant.

This is unisex so guys can wear it too if they wish!

Just look for a moon & stars object somewhere around the store.

Here's the start of the hunt

-----------------------------

Also don't forget that both the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser & Fantasy Faire will end after April 10th! Some of the items will not be re-released afterwards!

Ease on Down the Road w/ CoLLisions

2011-04-02T21:47:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Wow it's been sorta crazy over here, but in a GOOD way!

First off…

As of April 1st, the main store has MOVED! No foolin, either! ;-) Many thanks go out to Rosie Barthelmess & Marx Dudek whom graciously let me share a space with them at the Shopatorium for 2 years. It's been a wonderful experience and a beautiful shopping area.

I simply felt it was time for a change and so… CoLLisions now shares space with the Sassy Kitty Designs and Haus of Darcy main stores at the Dark Tranquility Sim! The building has been redone by the creative talent of Kere Delcon (whom also has designed builds for Exile, Shiki Designs, Juicy Bomb and the recently closed Lounge of Dreams Club among others). The Landmark will be at the bottom of the notecard so folks can take a look. :-)

-----------------------------------------------

I'm also participating in the 2011 Fantasy Faire this year! \o/

Five new items are up for donation to Relay for Life this year.

3 brand new facial tattoos:

Each has their own persona depending on your mood… and yes the last one is specifically made light colored for darker skins (like Drow) and named for a popular Dungeons & Dragons character 'cause I am an uber geek. :-P

Speaking of Drow…

This is a double set of full body Mendhi made dark for lighter skins and also lighter for darker skins. The Light version will –only- be available for the Faire so grab it while you can!

And finally two new jewelry pieces!

A matching Drop Earring and Bracelet jewelry set with little stars and beaded gems which are menu controlled to change between 7 different gem colors.

And a special Steampunk ladies necklace that is up exclusively for the RFL Auction.

There will be other colors released later on, but the purple version will only be available specifically for this occasion. :-)

I'm at the Dark Mirage Sim which is one of 9 (yes -9-) amazingly gorgeous Sims at the faire. Please do be sure to check them out before they're all gone! The faire runs until April 10th!

Taxi to the Dark Mirage Sim

-----------------------------------------------

Also still going until April 10th is the Pacific Relief Fundraiser. If you haven't had a chance yet, please do check the event out. BUT if you don't have time to sneak over there I have also set up my 4 items at the new Main Store if you would still like to Donate and pick up some awesome Japanese-themed goodies in the process.

More info (and goodies) will be out this next week so stay tuned!

Show your Support for Japan w/ CoLLisions

2011-03-16T13:59:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Unless you've been hiding under a rock, you've heard about the terrible results from the mixture of Tsunami, Earthquake and Nuclear devastation in Japan. So many lives lost and others left without homes, food and care.

It is amazing that one worldwide community brought together by a simple internet medium like Second Life, especially in times of need like these. They say that the net can be such a horrible place, but I think there are also many beautiful aspects to it as well.

One of those wonderful things is the Pacific Relief Fundraiser going on right now. 400 talented designers have come together to offer items (some new, some not) for Second Life residents with either 100% or 50% of item cost going to AmeriCares for the victims in Japan.

Learn more about the Charity here: www.americacares.org

I've personally got 4 new items out for the event…

Cherry Blossoms have almost always been associated with the beauty of Japan, and so I wanted to capture that with these earrings. I added 3 droplets of blood dripping down from each to represent each catastrophe.

This is named after the Shinto Goddess of Laughter & Happiness whom (according to legend) did a rather erotic dance in order to coax Amaterasu (Goddess of the Sun) out from a cave and bring light back to the world. This Women's Tattoo also features delicate Crane feathers and impressions of Gingko leaves (which look kind of like dancing fans).

This one was influenced mostly by Japan's Buddhist faith. It includes both a dual toned facial piercing and face tattoo. You can wear them together or separate. Included is 3 different versions of the tattoo for those who prefer to wear just the Bindi part or the red tear.

This one is obviously based upon the Japanese flag. :-) A red & black Yin-Yang (called "Inyodo" in Japanese) rests inside a gold leaf ring which is then placed upon a white mother-of-pearl tile. Gold chain links hold the pendant in place as a simple brown leather strap holds it around your neck. I've included both men's & women's sizes in the box since it would take too darn long to resize the things normally.

Catch these and all the other awesome stuff for Charity!

Taxi to the Event

And even if you don't want to buy anything, please do donate at one of many Donation Jars located around the Grid.

Oh and while I was setting up laaaaaaate last night, I did take a moment to pose with a few other folks for a cute pic. ;-)

Feelin' Green...

2011-03-12T08:15:00.000-08:00

Dunno why I thought "lip ring" for St. Patrick's Day this year... especially since I haven't done a lip ring before. Still, I think it turned out well and the Store Group subscribers have it to try out. ;-)

Also since I know some folks prefer navel rings to lip rings, I made one for them too. :-)

Happy (early) St. Patrick's Day!

Let the Good Times Roll w/ CoLLisions

2011-03-04T12:41:00.000-08:00

Holy cow, it seems like ages since I last sent out any info…

Well a lot has been going on and instead of giving you all a ton of little notes I decided to bunch it all up in one nice, neat package.

------------------------------

Alright first off there are 3 new releases on the Release wall:

I decided to try my hand at some more Mehndi designs and this is the first one. It's got elegant floral patterns on the lower neckline and in the middle of the back. But I also added some hand & arm decorations as well to make it look more like a RL Mehndi.

I know gaming geeks will get the naming reference, but for those whom are not into the Dungeons & Dragons thing… Lolth is the Spider Queen Goddess of the Drow Elves. She's not exactly a nice deity either, but still I thought it would be good to pay homage to the arachnid craft. Some of the webs are very delicate and faint so you'd really have to try it on to see all the detail. This is meant to be a Men's tattoo but if ladies would like to try it as well they are welcome. :-)

This is based off the SATOR square from Roman times, which some believe was used as a propaganda piece. It is especially cool that it's based off a four-times palindrome square (often thought of as a symbol of good luck) with magical properties. Underneath the square is some stylish stars and moon to give it a more arcane feel.

------------------------------

The store is also participating in 3 Hunts!

The fist two will be going on through the whole month of March:

~ The Spring 2011 Twisted Hunt ~

Yup it's Twisted Hunt season again! The theme this time is Crows or 'The Raven' by Edgar Allen Poe. There's 2 gifties in the little spinning puzzle box this time… a tattoo based on the Poem and a Raven Skull bead chain necklace with black feather & ankh detailing.

~ Tatted Hunt ~

-Finally- someone thought of doing a Gridwide Hunt just for Tattoo stores! \o/

This one is a much smaller Hunt if you're not ready just yet to tackle the 200+ shops in Twisted. I made a special facial tattoo for this one. As much as I love Poe, I will admit that I also love Beethoven… so this Gift is based on one of his many masterpieces.

Look for a small nail polish bottle in the main store to grab it.

~ Two Sisters Market Mardi Gras Hunt ~

Yup Mardi Gras is just around the corner, and then some of us will have to deal with 40 days of Lent (bummer). But that's why we all have one last grand party to enjoy the finer things in life before dealing with the sacrifice. In any case, the Two Sisters Market will be hosting a Mardi Gras Hunt from March 5th to March 8th. This is a Fantasy-based Sim for those whom are not familiar and full of beautiful scenery and shops.

I've made a special bracelet for the celebration:

The name is Creole for 'Let the Good Times Roll' which I thought was fitting for the theme. :-)

This one will -only- be found at Two Sisters. It won't be in the Main Store so head on over starting March 5th to grab it!

Carriage to Two Sisters Market

------------------------------

FINALLY…

With all the awesomeness of Mardi Gras, I've decided to place all the Jewelry on Sale! From March 5th to March 12th all the Jewelry (yes that includes satellite locations) will be 50% off!

What's even better is that now I've finally gotten some Jewelry Demos out, so if you weren't sure about a jewelry piece before, you can grab a demo and check it out! Just remember that the Demos are No Mod, so if it's a little small or big just remember that you can always resize the real piece.

------------------------------

Sorry for the Novel, but like I said a lot has happened! There will be a HUGE bit of news coming up in April, but I'm not gonna tell you all about it just yet. ;-)

Enjoy your holiday and throw lots of beads (just not in someone's eye)!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a Photo of the Welsh Love Spoon sent out to the CoLLisions Update Group! If you'd like one... go grab it, but I'll only have it in the Group Cue for a few days. The box is set Transfer just in case you'd rather give it to a special someone instead. ;-)

Feel the Love w/ CoLLisions

2011-02-02T17:35:00.000-08:00

Heya folks!

Happy Humpingday and all that. ;-)

Got some new goodies for you all to see... all in time for St. Valentine's Day. \o/

First off, CoLLisions is participating in the Valentine's Day Massacre Hunt which is themed more towards the Roaring 20's and the Chicago Mafia rather than Valentine's, itself. Still... I decided to mix both ideas for these...

Lariat necklaces & matching chain bracelets with bullet pendants and ruby heart accents.

Both sets are available in a black fedora hidden in the Main Store. ;-)

----------------------------------

And here's the first batch of new Ladies Tattoos (don't sorry I'll have some men's ones soon)...

This one is more for those whom have love for someone they've lost... whether through breakup, distance, or tragedy.

This full body design features all sorts of scribble and also some quotes from famous & not so famous love poems. Mixed with some imprinted hearts and a dual color pattern.

This one is inspired by the lovely Kinu Mayako of ~ Sassy Kitty Designs ~. It's a bit of a 'Fallen Angel' idea with soft feathers & wings... and 3 Kanji symbols for "Dark", "Beautiful" and "Dangerous". I'm sure there's quite a few ladies who fit into all three of those categories. ;-)

----------------------------------

Don't forget you still have until February 8th for the Extend a Helping Hand Event!

----------------------------------

Also The Royal Tea Party Hunt is still going on until the 15th! :-)

Have a great weekend!

We're All Mad @ CoLLisions

2011-01-16T11:14:00.000-08:00

Heya CoLLisions fans!

More yummy news for you all. Mmhmm.

First off, the Extend a Helping Hand Event has been well… extended due to the overwhelming response. It's now open until February 8th which means you have another week to go check it out!

Here's another Taxi in case you missed it

If you don't have time to make it over there, please do donate to one of the Kiosks as every little bit goes to relief efforts in Northern Australia.

-------------------------------

Alright also The Royal Tea Party Hunt has officially started. This isn't like your typical Hunt either, nope. You gotta purchase a HUD and then go through 50 stores picking up items from little tea cups hidden in each one.

The HUD is $200L and can be purchased at some of the locations on the Hunt including the main Hub here.

Now before you say, "OMG $200L?!?!" think about that it's $200L for 50 gifts so it actually evens out to $4L per giftie. ALSO once you get all the locations, you will unlock the location for a special VIP area where there's even MORE Gifts. \o/

Totally worth it, huh?

I probably should mention the stuff I'm offering for this thing, huh?

The overall theme is Alice in Wonderland, which means everyone was allowed to go wild with ideas. ;-)

Here's the Men's & Women's gifts I'm offering…

And if you make it to the VIP Lounge, you can pick up a special color version of the Twinkle Twinkle tattoo. ㋡

-------------------------------

Don't forget that the Serial Killer Hunt is still going on as well until the end of January!

Have a rockin' week!

Extend a Helping Hand w/ CoLLisions

2011-01-11T08:56:00.000-08:00

Good morning, afternoon, evening...

Many of you have heard about the floods that have hit Queensland, Australia... and the lovely Sanura Saka (personally effected by this event) decided to create a Fundraiser for the victims of the Floods.

Here's more in depth info about the cause

I got into this at the 11th hour but did manage to get 3 items made just in time. ;-)

Those who know me pretty well know I'm a huge fan of the Hard Rock band, Queensrÿche. This is a tattoo inspired by their song, "Another Rainy Night (Without You)" which has the amazing lyric, 'Raindrops taste like tears without the pain.' This Unisex chest tat is only $40L and 75% of it goes to the charity.

I was asked to make more Star Tats, and this one I went kind of nuts with 'em. ;-) Still... I like how this turned out (even if I'm gonna be tired of staring at tiny stars for a while. This Women's tat is $150L with 75% going to the charity.

Finally, I decided to make a special edition of the Bullet jewelry set just for the Event. This one has Tanzanite gems with the metals slightly darker for a more subdued look. This Unisex Jewelry Set (which still includes the Bracelet Cuffs & Cord Necklace) is $200L with 100% going to the charity.

Taxi to the Event Hall

The event will be open until the 31st, and after peeking around the place early... there's a lot of awesome items to grab. :-)

If you'd rather just donate directly to the cause, you can either use one of the donate kiosks at the Event Hall, or I have other kiosks set up at both my Main Store and the Sassy City Store location. Every little bit helps. :-)

There's a Killing @ CoLLisions?

2011-01-01T14:34:00.000-08:00

Okay not quite that bad.... or is it?

CoLLisions is participating in the Serial Killer Hunt which runs all through January.

Some of the stores based their items on RL Serial Killers, while I decided to go for a fictional one. Specifically Kevin Spacey's John Doe from "Se7en".

It's got all 7 Cardinal Sins placed in strategic spots along with various literary quotes cited in the movie.

It's on all sorts of layers so you can mix and match as you see fit, as well.

And yes... it's Unisex. ;-)

Here's the first stop on the Hunt...

Enjoy!

Seasons Greetings from CoLLisions

2010-12-17T07:46:00.000-08:00

Who says this time of the year isn't the time for giving? ;-)

I've set out 2 gifts at the Main Store just for the Holiday Season.

For the ladies, there's a cute charm necklace that has golden links intertwined with soft snowflakes.

For the dudes... well, trust me it was hard to think of Holiday Jewelry for men since there almost is none. I made one anyways to compliment the ladies piece without it being too ultra girly (I hope).

These gifts will be out until December 27th just inside the shop, so enjoy!

--------------------------

Don't forget! The Twisted Krissmuss Jewelry Sets are STILL out and STILL $100L a piece!

Also be sure to pick up your PoE3 Hunt Gift before January 3rd!

Leaves are Falling Everywhere @ CoLLisions

2010-12-04T10:53:00.000-08:00

Hey folks!

I promised some more news this week and so it shall be.

First off, both CoLLisions and Sable Rose Jewelry are participating in Twisted Krissmuss this year. "Huh? What's Twisted Krissmuss?" Well basically it's a chance for folks on the grid to pick up some great Holiday gifts at an awesome price for either yourself or any loved ones on your list.

For Twisted Krissmuss, I've expanded the Fallen Leaves sets to now also include a Copper version, which will ONLY be available for this deal.

But wait... there's MORE!

I've also made Men's sets which include a Necklace and matching chain bracelets. These are also available in Silver, Gold and Copper which resizer scripts and texture change leaves.

You can get either the trio of Men's or Ladies sets for $100L each. The boxes they come in are transferable which makes them perfect for gifting. :-)

----------------------------

And there is another Shopatorium Hunt to be had for the Holidays as well! The Falling Leaves Mall Hunt goes on from December 3rd to December 11th. Just look around for any stores with the Hunt sign out front and then search inside for an Orange & Red Maple Leaf.

I made 3 new chest tattoos for this Hunt, which are all available inside one Maple Leaf. Each one is based on a quote from widely popular literature from various generations.

From Harry Potter, of course. Anyone seen that map? ;-)

Uttered by the Mad Hatter during his eternal Tea Party.

Written 116 times in Kurt Vonnegut's "Slaughterhouse-Five", it's become an iconic phrase in various forms of medium including tattoos.

----------------------------

You can pick them all up at the Main Store for a limited time!

Taxi to the Main Store

Enjoy your Holidays & see you in the flipside!

Peace & Goodwill at CoLLisions

2010-12-01T12:12:00.000-08:00

Great googly moogly! It's December already? Time flies when yer getting old, I guess. ;-)

Anyways there's some newness to be had for the holidays and just for the heck of it.

First off…

.:CoLLisions:. is involved with the 2010 Peace on Earth 3 Gridwide Hunt! I've got a special Full-Body Tattoo hidden in the Main Store. Went with a mixture of Celtic and Elven (Lord of the Rings style) with some leaves tossed in to make it more Naturalistic.

I'm waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay down the list of stores on this one (#269) so if it takes you a while to get here, well you've got 'til January 3rd to find it. ;-)

Here's the starting point of the Hunt.

---------------------------------------------------------

I've also placed out 6 new Tattoos for you guys.

I'm trying my hand at some more Henna designs, and decided to try facial ones first:

Each is named after a Hindu God or Goddess and available on Viewer 2.x Tattoo Layers.

Also up on the wall is a new 3/4 length women's tattoo with some words of wisdom by Mr. Mel Brooks, himself. The insightful words are complimented by sprawling leaves in black.

And finally, I decided to try my own hand at some chest tattoos. This first one is a play on words and just cute for those who want to show off their Geeky side. ;-)

---------------------------------------------------------

More news will be out on Friday, December 3rd so stay tuned!

Fallen Leaves are everywhere @ CoLLisions & Sassy Kitty

2010-11-18T21:30:00.000-08:00

A new release?

Yeah I know it's been a while since something came out that's not a gift or part of a Hunt.

This one's special as it's my first collaboration project!

CoLLisions has teamed up with Sassy Kitty Designs for a special Autumn themed venture known as Fallen Leaves!

This is a series of 3 Sweater Pulls (in Red, Black, & Taupe) available from Sassy Kitty with color change leaves and Resizer for the sculpted collar which will be available in her main store starting Friday.

I made a matching Ladies Jewelry Set with lariat necklace and drop earrings which also have a Resizer script and color change leaves to match the Pulls. There are 2 sets in the pack: Gold & Silver (depending on your mood or skin tone).

If you're wanting an uber deal, you can pick up 2 of the 3 Pulls (Red & Black) and both Jewelry Sets for $300L. Considering just picking up the 2 Pulls separately would be more than that… it's quite a bargain!

The catch is… these are only available at Sassy City, so you'll have to bounce over there to see it all.

Have a great weekend!

Just a tease...

2010-11-15T21:09:00.000-08:00

I apologize about not releasing something new within a few weeks. Just got done with a RL move which has kept me pretty busy. However... there is some light in the horizon! A special collaboration should be out sometime this week to stay tuned!

2010-10-24T19:49:00.000-07:00

"Geez Guen ANOTHER HUNT? Do you SLEEP, Woman?"

Nope I gave up on sleep long ago. :-P

Anyways, I got another Hunt Giftie out for you all to grab! This time, tho it's not at the Main Store, but instead at Sassy Kitty where one of my satellite stores is at.

Sassy Kitty is having a Sim-wide Halloween Hunt & 50% Off Sale which already is pretty darn groovy. :-)

I've already got items with spider signs marked down at that location, but you can also pick up a special Halloween-themed necklace! Just look for a little coffin with candy pieces hiding inside. :-)

All of the participating stores on the Sim will have Orange & Black signs outside for either the sale, the hunt, or both!

Here's a taxi if you'd like to check it out!

Taxi to Sassy City

Enjoy!

Oh the Horror!

2010-10-15T11:04:00.000-07:00

More stuff! Yes even more stuff!

First off, Putrid Gloom was gracious enough to let me participate in Horrorfest this year, and so there's some newness over there just for the holidays!

A devilish new 3/4 Unisex body tat that's straight out of Lovecraftian lore. Don't ask me if it'll summon Cthulhu to do your bidding (but hey if you're into Gods of Darkness with huge tentacles, who am I to stop ya?) but it is "blood" shaded and will make people wonder what you're all about.

A new Unisex face tat that's probably my favorite so far. This is also Unisex and perfectly Gothic. It's a good addition even if you're not dressing for Halloween. :-)

And yes there's a special Halloween version of the Helix facial tat only available at Horrorfest.

And wait... what's this?

Yep it's the Don't Blink piercing set for those who missed it from the Twisted Hunt.

Both the sales from Don't Blink sets (they're separated by each gender size) and Raven's Tears will have 100% of the proceeds donated to the Sophie Landcaster Foundation, named after a teenage girl who was beaten to death just for dressing like a Goth and being "different".

Can read more about the charity here: http://www.sophielancasterfoundation.com/

You can find my little cart here

But do check out all the awesome designers and ghoulish items as the event will be going on until the end of October.

----------------------------------

There's also the Dead Dolls Zombie Raid Hunt which goes from October 15th to the 31st!

I'm personally not a -huge- fan of the Zombie genre, but I know there's a lot of folks who are... so I made a special Hunt giftie for all of you.

Wait... it's NOT a tattoo or jewelry? Nope it's an actual Jar & Brains & stuff. I've placed two versions in the gift box: One for decoration and another to be used as a Tip Jar if you so desire. \o/

This Hunt is a little different as you can go to which ever store participating in whichever order you prefer.

Here's the official list of Stores and SLurls to each one:

http://bellemortephoto.wordpress.com/2010/10/12/and-out-of-the-darkness-the-zombie-did-call/

----------------------------------

Don't forget about the Macabre Hunt still going on AND the 50% off Halloween Spider Sale as well! Both are still going on until November 1st!

Also the 2010 Jewelry Fair is still going on until October 22nd!

Have a Ghoulish Weekend!

Blood, Bats, Suns, Moons, & even Clocks are afoot!

2010-10-09T11:46:00.000-07:00

Wow, I think that's my longest title ever... but there's so much info to give you that I couldn't resist! ;-)

I dd mention that there's a lot going on this month... probably more than I should have gotten myself into, but that's just how it is.

ANYWAYS...

There's some newness to be had!

First is a special Unisex tattoo -only- available at the Lounge of Dreams Club this month. It's part Halloween... part Alice in Wonderland, and lots of fun! It's taken off the rhyme told by The Mad Hatter during the tea party, with loads of bats & stars to keep people guessing as to where the patterns begin or end.

You can get this tat as a special gift just by donating to the Club's Tier Thermometer. It is on Zindra, so you'll have to be Adult Verified to go in... but it's always a fun time between 6-10pm every night!

Taxi to Lounge of Dreams

-------------------------------------------

Secondly... the 3rd Gridwide Macabre Hunt is underway! This time the theme is 'Death to Davy Jones' which means any and all of the Hunt Prizes have to do with Cursed Sailors.

In my case, I went waaaaaaaaaaaay back to the tale of Odysseus and his trials & tribulations over the seas. He hit a -real- snag when he landed upon the island of Aeaea where the Sorceress, Circe lived. As the tale goes... Circe turned most of Odysseus' crew into pigs and forced him to stay upon her island for 1 year before she would tell him the route to continue his voyage back to Ithaca.

And so here are two tattoos inspired by the story, complete with Henna designs & blood splatters in various places. ;-) There's both upper body layers and facial tattoos which can be worn together or separate.

These will be found inside an apple hidden inside the Main Store until November 1st.

Here's the first stop on the Hunt!

Taxi to Rasetsukoku

-------------------------------------------

And finally... it's Jewelry Fair time again! The theme of the fair this year is 'Beauty and the Beast' with 4 beautiful Sims designed in the spirit of the classic fairy tale.

I've got 2 new items up at the Fair which will donate 50% of its proceeds to the Oxfam charities. If you're not familiar with Oxfam, you can learn more here:

http://www.oxfam.org/

These are both sized for the ladies, but with the right editing I'm sure the guys can make them fit as well if you like. ;-)

My first attempt at Steampunk jewelry. ^^^^^

The bracelets are based on a Scandinavian/Norse version of Beauty & the Beast with Rune charms.

I'm over in the Beast's Castle in the far North Corner. Just look for the red curtains inside the booth!

Taxi to the Castle

-------------------------------------------

Enjoy your weekend and stay tuned for even more schtuff next week! ;-)

Fall is in the Air...

2010-10-02T21:57:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a couple weeks, but I do have some newness for you!

First off, Wear Gray managed to make over $550,000L which was in part due to all of you who went to check it out! The tats I made for the faire are now up on the New Release Wall in the Main Store if you missed them before.

Also, it's my favorite time of year... HALLOWEEN! \o/ So in light of this amazing holiday, I've marked down all creepy, bloody & otherwise darker themed tats & jewelry 50% until November 1st. All you hafta do is look for the orange & black spider on each sign. And what's even better? The satellite location items have been marked down too, 'cause I know you all can't always make it to the Main Store. ;-)

Finally, I've already got the October Silent Lion item out, and like every other month it's set at only $75 for one week! Some items I do keep and put out later, BUT they will be at a much higher price than $75 so it's best to take advantage while you can.

Have a great week!

PS: Info about the Macabre Hunt, 2010 Jewelery Fair & HorrorFest coming soon!!!

Talk Like a Pirate.... Yarrr

2010-09-19T22:42:00.000-07:00

I don't know why I love Talk Like a Pirate Day so much, but at least this year I felt like being one of the SL designers to spread the cheer a little bit more. Sent out this cute unisex back tat as a Free Gift to all my Group Members.

The quote in the middle is an actual quote Blackbeard the infamous Pirate Captain said once upon a time... probably to some scallywag, no doubt.

Enjoy your week!

Yay for Chocolate @ CoLLisions

2010-09-17T10:46:00.000-07:00

Hey who doesn't love chocolate? Okay besides people who are allergic to it RL (which totally sucks, believe me).

Well at least you can attempt to satisfy your sweet tooth with a new Gacha I have up at the Main Store. :-)

Look for this little chocolate box just inside the front door. Have a seat on the couch and try your luck at picking up some delectable prizes!

For only $10L a piece you can grab one of 8 'Peek-a-Boo' tattoos which go perfect with a low cut dress or pants for a truly sinful, yet sweet view.

There's 8 tats altogether, though some are more rare to get than others. Each candy piece is transferable, however, if you prefer to trade around or just don't like the soft, swishy center of another. ;-)

Have a Great Weekend!

Going Gray for a Cause @ CoLLisions

2010-09-13T13:08:00.000-07:00

Hey all!

CoLLisions is one of the many shops participating in the 2010 Wear Gray for a Day Faire from September 12th through 25th. Along with a few items some of you have seen before, there's 4 new items available for donation to the charity for Brain Cancer research.

A gray version of the Full body Spotted tattoo for the ladies.

This is obviously inspired by everyone's favorite Viking Vampire, Eric Northman from True Blood and the Sookie Stackhouse novels. ;-) This men's full body tattoo (tho ladies can enjoy it too) features faded scripture, Gothic runes, Celtic tribals and also the Norse symbol, Aegishjalmur (a protection symbol for warriors in battle).

Yes I got on a Rune kick. This Unisex spine tattoo includes a symbol for 'Good Health' at the top with a old Norse saying scrolled in Norse Runes which reads, "The head only knows what lies nearest the heart."

And finally, a special Unisex choker necklace available in the Wear Gray Hunt (just look for a Gray ribbon somewhere in my stall).

It's a design made to commemorate September 11th with 4 Sapphire tears (to represent each of the 4 planes used in the attack) and a dog tag pendant with imprinting on both sides.

----------------------------

Also be sure to check out Sable Rose Jewelry at Wear Gray as well! Her stall is right around the corner from mine with some new jewelry sets available for both men and ladies for the event!

The area is on 2 levels... both Sable Rose and CoLLisions are at the back of the Sim on the first floor.

Twisted & Stoned @ CoLLisions

2010-09-01T11:32:00.000-07:00

Great Googly Moogly!

A lot of things going on right now for sure as we head into the Holiday Season.

First I'd like to welcome all the folks who've joined the Store Group after finding the main store through the Platinum & Ice Cream Hunts. Thank you for joining! :-)

-----------------------------------------------

Secondly, there's a new Hunt for you all going on through September. The Twisted Hunt! There's 3 stores in the Gallinas Shopatorium participating in this Gridwide Hunt (Oddment & Sable Rose being the other two) so be sure to check out those and the many other stores in the shopping center when you can!

Here are my contributions to the Hunt:

This Unisex facial tat features a subtle crackled marble texture that goes great with Goth skins, but also adds a little mystery to your darker skins.

A combination torso & navel piercing that's inspired by the Weeping Angels from Dr. Who. For those who aren't watching it, these Stone Creatures can only attack you when you're not looking… and yes that includes when you blink. Due to copyrights and whatnots, I couldn't make it look like the show angels, but its close enough. ;-)

Here's the starting point of the Twisted Hunt. There are 195 stores in this thing, so take your time and enjoy while it goes on for the whole month.

Start of the Twisted Hunt

-----------------------------------------------

Speaking of the Shopatorium, it now has its own Blog with all sorts of specials, sales, and reviews to read up on. See it all at http://shop.inworld.sl/ and bookmark it to learn about future offers and events. :-)

-----------------------------------------------

The items from the Ice Cream & Platinum Hunts are now on the New Release Wall for those who missed them.

-----------------------------------------------

I've also –finally- added new colors to the Bladhaire, Teine Damhsa & Footnote Jewelry sets. If you were looking before and wasn't sure about the original colors... come back again and see if you prefer the newer ones!

The new colors will be up on XStreet soonish as well.

-----------------------------------------------

Whew! A lot of news I know... and there's even more to come soon so stay tuned!

This is a special multi-layered necklace with feathers, turquoise beads, and some cute little charms which create an overall soothing sense of Dreaming.

The necklace is out right next to the stairs and will only be $75L for one day, August 6th.

Hot Fun in the Summertime @ CoLLisions

2010-07-18T21:28:00.000-07:00

It's time for another Fashion Fair and this one is centered both around Summertime and Love. :-)

I've got 3 tattoos over at the fair from July 18th through August 8th:

And the spotted tattoo is there for those who missed it before (but it's at a higher price).

I've also got a freebie Necklace available at the fair if you know where to find it. :-)

CoLLisions Gets Squeaky Clean!

2010-07-05T22:55:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Just a few updates to give you all.

First off, I'm now involved in a new monthly venture called the 'Silent Lion Troupe'. Basically each month a group of stores have an overall theme they create items for, which are then available for 1 day of the month at a discounted $75L price.

My day happens to be July 6th, and the theme is WHITE! Now trust me I did a lot of research on this one, and ironically there's not a lot of white SL tattoos out there. Aaaaaaand so I decided to make one. :-)

--------------------------

The Black & Blue Fair is over, but 2 of the items I had out are now available at the main store. There's also the Summer of Love Fair starting in a couple weeks with even more awesome items available only at the Fair for 3 weeks. stay tuned for more details on that!

--------------------------

Finally, I've promised to update all my current inventory with Viewer 2 Tattoo Layers. Yep... I am completely crazy but they're finally done! What's even cooler is that the prices are still the same for all of them.

Oh and if you've already bought tats, don't worry! If you would like to add Tattoo Layers to your current CoLLisions tats, just send me a notecard with your name and a list of which ones you'd like.

Yeah I know some of you have a huuuuuuuge amount or have retired designs. That's okay! Just keep in mind that I'm going on good faith, here since none of us wanna track down a billion Transaction Numbers so please.... be honest, k? It's all I ask. :-)

Enjoy your Week!

~ Guen

Happy Independence Day!

2010-07-01T14:14:00.000-07:00

Okay I'm a little early but I figured what the heck? Enjoy this variation of the Constellation Tat for the upcoming holiday. ;-)

Slipping into Summer @ CoLLisions!

2010-06-26T13:52:00.000-07:00

Hey all!

Yep summer's finally here (for Northern hemisphere folks anyways... not to discriminate against those in the Southern part of the world) and with that means a few new tattoo designs.

The first style involves yes... more STARS! I can't help it that stars are so versatile (and feminine) for tattoos. This one's a full-body design that scoops from the upper left shoulder blade all the way across and down to the right calf. I should also probably mention that it's also got my completely exposed toosh in the picture too. ;-)

The men also have a new design in the form of this new back & arm tattoo. The back portion was more abstract at first but the more I looked at it, it looked like a stylized compass... so there you go. :-)

I'm finally getting more "up to date" with my designs as the concept of Tattoo Layers become gradually more mainstream. I held off for a really long time since the Viewer 2 had such controversy involved. BUT, Emerald is now embracing this long overdo upgrade and so I have too.

In the upcoming weeks I'll gradually be upgrading my current tattoo inventory (including those on XStreet, Apez, & Metaverse Exchange) to include tattoo layers. Gonna be a lengthy process, to be sure, but in the end I think having all layers available even on older items will be better for everyone.

With that being said, I've released my first batch of Facial Tattoos!

This is being released as a men's design, but women can wear it just as well. :-) The tribal pattern scoops around the eye and down along the cheek. There's 2 versions in the pack: One for the right side and one for the left side... just in case you have bangs that swoop one way or the other.

And a design for the ladies as well. This facial tattoo displays delicate swirls upon both cheeks with elegant accents on the outside of each eye. This is available in 5 different colors (Blue, Red, Green, Purple & Pink). Can pick them individually or in a FatPack of 5 for the price of 3.

------------------------------

Don't forget that the Black & Blue Fair is still running until July 3rd! Not all of the items will be at the main store when the Fair is over so now's your chance!

Here's another Taxi to the Venue!

Have a great week!

Something Old and Something New!

2010-06-11T09:02:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Yeah there's a little old and new (mostly new) on the New release wall in the main shop!

I decided to take the two necklaces from the Beltane Hunt and make them into full-fledged sets.

The Bladhaire set now includes bracelets & earrings. Also available is a matching bindi that is FREE to members of the Subscrib-O Group and $50L to those not in the Group.

Yes the men get an upgrade as well! There's now bracelets to match the necklace in the Teine Damhsa set. The Subscrib-O Group folkz can also pick up a matching ring for FREE as well ($40L to non Group members).

Never fear... I've set up separate vendors for those who already received the necklaces from the Beltane Hunt.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Since June is American Pride Month, I decided to make a cute Unisex necklace in celebration. It has all 6 colors of the Gay Pride Rainbow Flag as stacked gems along with a little solid Heart Charm to signify that love knows no bounds.

For those who may want something slightly different, I also made a 7 gem version which signifies the 7 Hindu Chakras.

Enjoy your weekend!

CoLLisions gets Black & Blue!

2010-06-03T17:07:00.000-07:00

I know it's been a while since I put out new items, but with good reason!

The Black & Blue Fair starts today!

The Fair itself is meant to raise awareness about Mental Health and ways to catch it & possibly prevent it. Almost all the items in the Fair have been given a Black and/or Blue tint and CoLLisions has been privileged to be included with so many other talented designers at this venue.

I made 4 new items for the Fair (which means it's the only place to find them for at least a month) and they are....

The first item is recognizable as the Wings inspired by The Crow movies, but with a new Cyan hue. The edges of the wings are slightly tinted green for a more ethereal look.

A smaller tat for those with simpler tastes... this black & royal blue butterfly is perfect to peek out from your favorite low cut corset, shirt, or dress.

I'm finally trying to do some more tats that are more well... everywhere. The Constellation has a vast array of stars in black and blue with many delicate textures and shapes. They run along the back aaaaaaall the way down to your tush, along the arms, and even a few spread along the pelvis.

While the tattoo sets are for the ladies, this Jewelry set works for both men and women. The pendant is a subtlety textured AK-47 bullet with Blue Lace Agate gem at it's apex. It's strung on a black leather strap which is then complimented by a pair of leather cuffs with a 9mm casing and two 9mm bullets as decoration.

Make sure you catch all the other designers at this awesomely built space, as there's everything from skins to hair to clothing (also mostly for ladies, sorry dudes)... all brand new and all incredibly awesome!

Here's a Taxi to the Venue!

~ Guen

Nevermore!

2010-05-12T22:03:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Starting at Midnight Tonight is the Spring Chapter of the Macabre Hunt!

Some of you may recall that the fall one was themed off of Gloomy Fairy Tales. This new one is no exception as the Theme is the Works of American Author & Poet, Edgar Allen Poe.

Often seen as the Father of the Macabre... it's only fitting that he was chosen as the overall theme for the Hunt.

I'm about a 1/3 of the way down the Hunt Path, but here's a preview of what you'll find in the shiny apple. :-)

This back piercing comes with 2 attachment points and 2 versions for both men's and women's shapes. It may take some editing to get it to fit your specific shape but it is both Copy and Modify. :-)

Here's the SLURL to your first destination... and hope to see you all at the newest Main Store build!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't forget that the Beltane Hunt ends on the 15th, so there's a couple more days to get the two Red Agate Necklaces. :-)

Happy Mother's Day

2010-05-08T22:48:00.000-07:00

Happy Mother's Day to all. :-)

Remembrance & Revolution @ CoLLisions!

2010-05-03T13:00:00.000-07:00

I know it's been AGES since I did a regular tattoo release, but I felt it was time for some new ink to be up for you gals & guys.

Since there are many Holidays in May which represent revolution and remembrance, the theme for all four of these new tattoos is based around one or both of those. :-)

The mark of the Assassin is often characterized by a dagger and a rose somehow intertwined to show both the brutality and beauty of this profession. This women's tat shows off both symbols along with two delicate drops of blood from the blade and the 2 Kanji symbols for "Illusion" on either side.

The Bushido Code has been a both a Philosophy and a way of life for the Japanese Samurai for thousands of years. This Warrior path is specifically practiced by following 7 virtues which make up the Code. This unisex tat reflects all of these virtues symbolized through Kanji characters which travel along your spine.

- Rectitude
- Courage
- Benevolence
- Respect
- Honesty
- Honor
- Loyalty

Sometimes the only way to protect is to go in with guns blazing and pray you'll come out alive. This men's design features two smoking guns crossed along his upper back while the Kanji symbols for "Guardian" scroll down along his stomach.

Another addition to my Ankh series, this women's piece shows off a Gothic style ankh between her shoulder blades with wisps of tribal swirls on either side. Turn around and you'll catch a stylized heart ankh as well in that perfect spot above the beautiful curves of her breasts.

All available on the New Release wall of the Main Store!

Hope you all enjoy your week and welcome to May!

Keep the Fire Burnin' with CoLLisions!

2010-04-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

It's time for another Hunt, ladies & gents!

In particular it's time for the 2nd installment of the Wheel of the Year Hunt... which celebrates one of 8 Pagan holidays that occur throughout the year.

This time the theme is Beltane which coincides with 'May Day'. In the old Julian calender it was also a celebration for the first day of summer. It's often celebrated both with May Poles (poles with colorful ribbons spinning around) and Bonfires.

I decided to go with the latter idea and offer these two necklaces for the Hunt:

The Both necklaces feature red agate stones and brass accents for a more warm overall look.

The Bladhaire (Gaelic for 'Flame') also features a trio of green leaves just above a faceted teardrop pendant.

The Teine Damhsa (Gaelice for 'Fire Dance') has this same faceted teardrop dangling within a small brass caged ball while a leather strap hangs around his neck.

Both are available within a spinning May Pole hidden in the Main Store until May 15th!

Here's the Starting Point for the hunt so you can get all the goodies!

Two new RFL Tattoos up for sale!

2010-04-10T22:11:00.000-07:00

I promised I would make some Relay for Life items this year, and here they are:

Each is based on a song by Rammstein (complete with song lyrics as part of the design) for starters. I decided to show the opposite angles of love with each as well. The top one shows tender love as the lyric reads "Without you I cannot be". The bottom shows a more violent form of love with the lyric, "With you, I have chosen agony".

These are both also in dedication to my SL auntie, Lainey Thorne, who loves both of them... as I hope many of you will too. They are up at my main store, and will also be up at all 3 clubs I work at. Even if you won't wear them, at least get them as part of donating to a worthy cause. :-)

Celebrate a Cultural Icon @ CoLLisions!

2010-03-26T20:43:00.000-07:00

It's the weekend again and yes we're back in the $60L weekend list!

This year marks the 20th anniversary for the release of the first movie installment of "The Crow". Granted the comic had been out for some time before that, many did not know about this story until it was placed on the movie screen in 1990. Of course many also remember this as Brandon Lee's biggest role as well as his last, and some say the movie got so big due to the controversy and the tragedy that went with it.

Having actually met and spoken with James O'Barr (the creator of the comic) twice, I have grown to love all the mythology and imagery that goes along with "The Crow" and all of its later incarnations. Yeah the later movies aren't quiet as good as the very first one, but I still have them all... and yes the TV show too. :-P

ANYWAYS...

In honor of The Crow... here are two new tattoos that ONLY for this weekend will be $60L. After Sunday they will be placed on the New Release wall at a higher price.

Sarah is the little girl in the first movie, yes... but in the second she is a grown woman who works at a Tattoo Parlour. One of her own tattoos is a beautiful set of orange-red wings on her back. I didn't make these exactly like hers since I wanted to add my own touch of flair but these are close enough. :-)

Making a men's tat was harder... and this was what I came up with after a LOT of time staring at my blank Photoshop screen.As some folks know, a group of crows is actually called a 'murder' so I thought it was a fitting name for this. ;-) The back has an array of crows in various shades and sizes while the familiar Crow eye sits in front on the pec.

-------------------------

Also on the New Release wall are the Kismet & Pyre tattoos from 60L weekend a couple weeks ago! These are now regular price after I got some requests to bring them back!

-------------------------

The Spring Forward sale also ends on Sunday so grab the "green" sale items while you still can! :-)

Have a great weekend!

Spring Forward with CoLLisions!

2010-03-08T09:34:00.000-08:00

Greetings and Salutations!

March is the time to let go of the drab chill of Winter and move into the lush warmth of Spring.

With that being said, CoLLisions has already moved forwards to embrace the warmth.

--------------------------

Thanks to all who came by the shop for 60L Weekend and others who caught me in various states of redecorating the store. ;-) In both cases things went by very smoothly.

The main store is finally finished with a refreshing layout that I hope you all will enjoy.

That being said I have news!

--------------------------

New releases!

With St. Patty's day around the corner, it's time for some new holiday-themed goodies! Both of these are for the ladies, but the tattoo could be good for the dudes too if they want. :-)

Another full-body design with shamrocks and stars that curves around from the back to the pelvis and finally to the left leg. :-)

A lovely back necklace (that could also be worn as a front necklace if you wish) with clover & key. This set also includes a pair of hoop earrings with matching clover danglies.

Also on the new wall is a ladies back tat and unisex full-body tat.

A tattoo in commemoration of my fav poet, Rainer Maria Rilke. The words on the left are his self-written epitaph.

This was originally a commission piece that is now available to everyone. Vines curve from the back to the front and then across with a star long the chest.

--------------------------

Along with the new releases, I have another 40% off sale! From the 8th until the 29th of March, anything Green (that includes actual green items or any item relating to lush nature) is marked down at the Main Store. This does NOT include items on the New Release wall. This also does not apply to items at the satellite locations.

Have a great week!

Wheel of the Year: Ostara Gridwide Hunt Item

2010-03-01T15:33:00.000-08:00

This is a free giftie available until March 31st for the Wheel of the Year: Ostara Gridwide Hunt.

It's Unisex and cute, and of course resizeable.

Enjoy!

Another cool Shopatorium Hunt!

2010-02-23T14:39:00.000-08:00

One of the cool things I love about being at Shopatorium is that Rosie does have seasonal Sim hunts so that folks can explore the various shops and eventually end up at the Patio in the back for some wonderful live music.

I made a new ladies tat based on an idea I've had crawling around in my head for a while. The words on the right shoulder read:

Rose, oh reiner Widerspruch, Lust,
Niemandes Schlaf zu sein unter soviel
Lidern.

It's an epitaph for early 20th century poet, Rainer Maria Rilke that he wrote for himself shortly before he died.

The Vines set is my first real full body design that originally I did as a custom piece for a close friend. He and I worked out later that I could eventually sell it but I wanted it to be available free for folks who would like it at least for a short time.

The Tulips for this Hunt will be up until March 7th. :-)

Okay... no rum, but it was kinda catchy!

I nabbed the SLDD spot for February 20th and as promised it's my first ever full Jewelry Set!

A 7 piece jewelry set with earrings, necklace, navel ring, 2 sets of bracelets, and Bindi. Some pieces have multiple attachment points as well. :-)

50 will be available Saturday from 10am SLT to Midnight (yeah I know you all sleep in on Saturdays, right?) for $250L a set.

The name came from the cute little Asterisk Scupltie I decided to play around with and a green texture I'd been in love with for some time. Green Grooviness just in time for St. Patty's Day. :-)

It'll only be $250L FOR ONE DAY so don't miss it!

New Releases & SLDD Info

2010-02-14T14:12:00.000-08:00

Heya folkz!

I did promise multiple notes this weekend. Here is another. :-)

First off, the 40% off on Hearts & Love items at the Main Store ends tonight. So if you need a last minute gift or self indulgence you have a few more hours. :-)

---------------------------

Secondly, CoLLisions will be on SLDD Saturday February 20th! I will be giving away a brand new full set (Yeah a FULL SET) of jewelry that will be only available on SLDD on the 20th.

If you've not dealt with SLDD before, it's basically the Second Life version ot w00t.com where an item will be available & discounted for ONE DAY in limited supply. A kiosk will be in the shop so folks can wander by and grab the set as a special limited price. After Saturday it will be up for regular price on the new release wall.

Once I have the set complete, you all will be the first to know what it will be. :-)

---------------------------

Speaking of new releases...

The Spinal Tapp & Magical tattoos are now on the New Release wall along with the Troy Necklace.

Also up are two new female tattoos:

A Valentine's tat I did for an event, and now available to you. Delicate swirls with a stylized heart in the middle.

And of course along with Valentine's it is Chinese New Year! Welcome to the year of the TIGER! This tat features tribal cat eyes on the tummy and the Kanji symbol for Tiger inbetween the shoulders.

Enjoy your week everyone!

60L Weekend, Hunt Info, and a Group Giftie (oh my!)

2010-02-12T23:24:00.000-08:00

Hey folkz!

This is the first of 3 notes this weekend 'cause there's a lot of news!

The first is that I'm back in 60L Saturday/Sunday this week. This is a special version of the chainmail necklace made with a star and a cute little Chinese symbol for "Love" in front. It's named after the lady who helped me get my start with CoLLisions 2 years ago this week, Shenandoah Saintlouis. YUS, the business is officially 2 as of February 16th and I wanted to pay a little tribute. :-)

This will only be out for Saturday and Sunday just inside the door for $60L.

--------------------

Also starting on Saturday is the Classic Love Hunt. Yeah I know... OMG another darn gridwide Valentine's Hunt??? Well this one is really tiny, I promise. There's only 25 stores in it! Easy to manage in one afternoon.

Here's my contrubution to the Hunt:

This is a set of bracelets (one left and right) that will be available in the Hunt until February 28th.

Speaking of Hunts, The Music for the Soul Hunt ends Sunday the 15th if you still wanna pick up the Troy Guitar Pick Necklace. The Chain of Fools necklaces for the That's Amore Hunt are also still out until February 28th.

--------------------

Finally... I promised a Group Gift this week, right? Well this is actually a Valentine's gift... FOR THE GUYS! *gasp*

Rosie Barthelmess of Sable Rose asked me to make a tattoo similar to one singer, Jason Mraz has. I couldn't make it -exactly- like his ('cause yanno I dun wanna be sued and stuff) but it's close enough to still bring out the sweetness factor.

The whole idea is that a lady (or guy) can rest their head there for a hug. Okay everyone in unison! "Awwwwwwwwwwwww!"

More info tomorrow, ladies and gents!

~ Guen

PS: Like the new Blog layout? :-)

Show Your Love with CoLLisions!

2010-02-05T12:54:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

With Valentine's just around the corner I thought I would like to spead a little love to you all. :-)

From now until February 15th, all items with ♡hearts♡ or any other subject of looooove are marked down 40%! This includes the new Amore piercing set. :-)

Also one item on the Unisex Wall is down to only $10L! You gotta find it, but I know you will. :-)

This is only at the Main Store, so come on down before they get priced back up!

Also be on the lookout for a special Group Giftie sometime next week!

<3 Guen

New Hunt Item!

2010-01-31T22:29:00.000-08:00

Another hunt item for the "That's Amore Hunt" running through the month of February. This one is a dual set of necklaces with half hearts. One is sized for the ladies and the other for the guys. If a gay or lesbian couple would like one resized they can send me a notecard with a request. :-)

Also quick note, the boxes these come in ARE transferable but the necklaces are not so please keep that in mind before you decide to give the other necklace to that special someone.

$60L Sunday Item

2010-01-16T21:51:00.000-08:00

Hey all,

CoLLisions is now involved with $60L Sundays!

I'd been asked to bring back the Angelic Misfortune tat before, and so I decided to rework it, fit it a bit better... and then add some faint shading and viola!

This is out on an easel by the Couch so when you wander in just turn right. ;-)

This will only be out through Sunday so don't miss out!

Music 4 the Soul Hunt

2010-01-15T00:18:00.000-08:00

Yeah I literally got this out at the 11th Hour *pant pant faint* but it was certainly worth it!

Here's the gift available in the Music 4 the Soul Hunt going on from January 15h through February 15th.

Everything in this hunt (as you all may guess) is music themed, and so I made a guitar pick pendant on a beaded chain. The coolest part is that the text on the pendant changes on touch between 4 different sayings.

As for why I called it 'Troy'? Well it's named after a dear friend and fellow DJ whom decided to take an SL break for a while, but has been supportive of me making this necklace since day one.

Here's the first landmark for the hunt, btw. I'm at #15. :-)

Happy Hunting!

FINALLY some Updates

2010-01-03T17:13:00.000-08:00

Whew!

Been ages since I sent out anything I know. Well it's for good reason, though!

First off, the Main Store has officially moved!!! It's now next to Sable Rose at the Shopatorium! Finally have my own parcel and everything so please do go take a look when you can. :-)

Secondly, all of the previous hunt tattoos from December are now out for sale on the new release wall and for sale. If you missed them before, here's your chance to get them now.

Finally, there's two brand new releases up as well!

I had a few requests to do some more facial piercings and so here's the newest one. This comes with color change gems which shift between 11 different shades.

Aaaaaaand....

My second designer-inspired tattoo, named after silent sparrow lady, hyasynth Tiramisu.

Have a happy New Year everyone!

<3 Guen

New Releases & Hunt Updates!

2009-12-01T19:21:00.000-08:00

Heya folkz!

LOTS of info to give you all so here goes:

First off... 2 new releases and 3 hunts items now up for regular sale:

These two women's tattoos along with the Delicate Leaf, Incubus, and Falling Stars tats are now up on the New Release Wall. :-)

Secondly... HUNTS!

I've got two items in the Shopatorium Turkey Trot Hunt going on until December 6th. One is the Carol necklace I promised for you ladies. For the men I've set out a brand new tattoo:

Just look for a turkey object set in my Shopatorium shop

I've also got 2 new tats in the Jingle Bell Gridwide Hunt that runs until January 1st. One for the ladies and one for the men. :-)

The hunt object is a red Jingle Bell and I made mine -kinda- hard to find. It's very close to the entrance tho. ;-)

Here's the starting location for you all: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Pendleton/216/184/22

The last Hunt is a very special one. I'm offering a Unisex tattoo for the Stamp Out Aids Hunt that opens today, on World AIDS day, and runs until January 1st as well.

Look for a small red AIDS ribbon with a rotating globe in the center. I also have a larger donation ribbon at the front of the main store that will remain up through the course of the Hunt if you wish to donate some Linden$ to AIDS research.

Lounge of Dreams is ALSO giving a huge huge HUGE set of gifties for December in their Tier thermometer. I've donated 2 tats (male & female) for it. One is the Lancer offered above also in the Turkey Trot.

The female one is....

So pick them up along with aaaaall the other wonderful gifts before December is out! :-)

FINALLY (whew)....

After much consideration, Rykk & Kaedy Ferraris are going to put the Freakheim sim up for sale in January. This means I'll be moving the main shop to a new spot and they'll be taking a much needed break. If any of you would be interested in possibly purchasing the sim, please contact both Rykk & Kaedy.

Once I have the new main store location set up I'll let everyone know.

Everyone please enjoy this Holiday Season, no matter what belief or religion you follow. <3

Beautiful Portrait

2009-11-23T18:32:00.000-08:00

Beatrix Noel placed this photo up back in September showing off some of my goodies. :-)

Just wanted to share since it's such a lovely photo.

Thank You Tuli...

2009-11-22T08:00:00.000-08:00

If you all didn't already read my main blog, Tuli's decided to redo her entire Sim and has asked everyone whom had satellite locations there to take everything down. I had to take one last snapshot of the cart before I removed everything. I'll miss being there but I am now on the lookout for a new spot. :-)

Thank you Tuli for letting me have this opportunity to be there for a little over a year. I greatly appreciate it.

Newness...

2009-11-03T16:13:00.000-08:00

Well the Halloween craziness has passed us and now we've got Christmas & New Years to look forwards to.

I did manage to send out an exclusive gift to the Update Group on the 30th in celebration of Dia de los Muertos (Day of the Dead) and Halloween...

And then the 3rd Hunt I'm participating in started on Sunday. Thanks to my graphics card going kaputt most of the weekend I was only able to finish one of the two tattoos for the hunt.

However I did manage to get one new release done in honor of the owner of illusions, Siyu Suen.

ALSO... with the end of the Pretty Witch Hunt... the Carol necklace has sadly been taken down. However, I have placed it for regular sale ONLY at my cart at Tuli's sim until Christmas. Then it'll totally be removed, folks... so nab it quick! :-)

New Items for the Enter At Your Own Risk Hunt

2009-10-23T12:34:00.000-07:00

Heya folks! I know it's been kinda Hunt crazy as of late. Only gonna get crazier too.

Here's the freebies from moi available during the Enter At Your Own Risk Hunt that runs from October 24th to November 24th.

I had been wanting to try another star tattoo for a while and decided to make a spine version with alternating open and closed star designs.

I had this alternative dual dragon tribal design for a while but wasn't sure what to do with it. Add a complementary tribal on the right peck and viola!

Both are available for free during the hunt and -may- be available for sale after. ;-)

New Hunt Item

2009-10-17T07:34:00.000-07:00

Yeah I'm a bit late posting about this, but I was in a bit of a crunch. ;-)

This is a special edition of the Cherished Necklace called 'Carol' after my mom who passed away IRL from breast cancer over 20 years ago. The heart is pink (and a sligtly different shape) for the Pretty Witch Hunt where things are supposed to have a touch of pink. I don't normally do pink things, but for this I was willing to try.

Unlike my other items, I won't have this out after the hunt is over on October 31st... at least not for a while, so if you want it... better go look for the little pink witch's hat in the main shop. :-)

Some News!

2009-10-07T19:43:00.000-07:00

Heya folks!

Thank you to all who are new to the Subscrib-O Group from the Jewelry Fair, Twisted Hunt, & Macabre Hunt!

If you missed any of the items from any of these 3 events, they are now on the New Release wall at the front of the main shop along with a new back tattoo for the ladies. :-)

Also... I have a few more Hunts coming up aaaaaaaand.... a special sale happening next week! Not gonna tell you just yet but stay tuned! :-)

Jewelry Fair Info!

2009-09-17T19:02:00.000-07:00

Heya folkz!

Yeah I've been a busy busy bee, alright.

The Jewelry Fair starts tomorrow and I got a tiny booth in the Winter area of an amazing Hedge Maze design from Siyu Suen of Illusions.

I made 2 items released for the first time for the event.

Another chainmail necklace that will donate half the proceeds to the OxFam charity.

A men's navel ring I originally made on a dare. ;-) Wait... a MEN's navel ring? Yep you read that right!

I also reintroduced a special piece for sale specifically for the fair and the OxFam charity.

The fair runs from September 18th-27th with a ton of crazy designs to be sure for your jewelry fetishes. :-) More info about the fair at... http://jewelersofsl.wordpress.com/

See you there!

CoLLisions in the Macabre Hunt!

2009-09-15T20:28:00.000-07:00

"ZOMG Guen what's with all these Hunts?"

I'm a hunt junkie myself, so being asked to be in these has been an absolute privilege. :-)

And so I’m proud to bring you two more items available from the “Twisted Fairy Tales” of the ++Macabre Hunt ++.

My two items are based off of the Hans Christan Andersen tale, ‘The Snow Queen’. In particular I’ve dealt with the substantial mention of mirrors and friendship within the story.

This is the gents necklace with broken mirror and blood tears.

And the ladies necklace with fuschia rose and tears of love.

On the back of both is a saying that I grabbed from a televised version of the story:

"When Cold be Hot, and Friends be Kind. When Love unites the Heart and Mind."

See you all on the hunt trail. :-)

Here's the first stop!

I Got Blogged!

2009-09-01T06:10:00.000-07:00

So yeah I decided to give folks a second chance to grab the Legion necklace since the Black Keys Hunt ended last night.

For one more week you can get the necklace at the Shopatorium Back-to-School Hunt in one of the many apples hidden around the shopping area.

Raeyn Sirnah did take a moment to mention the necklace among other items in this Hunt on the Free Finds for Men blog which is an awesome place to catch those hard to find Men's Freebies.

Take a peek if you can! The Shopatorium Hunt only runs until September 7th. :-)

Twisted Hunt Gifts

2009-08-31T08:24:00.000-07:00

Yep I'm in the Fall Twisted Hunt which starts tomorrow... and this time at least I'm at a much lower number in the list of shops than before 'cause whew it was a while before folks got to my place the last go around.

Anyways here's what you'll be getting if you wander in and look for the Twisted Box...

A nose chain/ear cuff combo for the guys... tho girls could wear it too if they so desire. It's made in 2 parts so that you can wear the cuff by itself if you want. The nose chain will no doubt need some adjusting as everyone's face is different, but that's why I made it MOD to begin with. The pic (even as sechsay as UC looks in it) doesn't really do it justice but there's a lot of detail in both parts.

And there's this chainmail necklace for the ladies (which matches, of course!). This could also be worn by the guys if they want with a bit of modding as I made it smaller for the gals to begin with.

Both of these are the most detailed pieces I've done to date so I'm hoping you all like them.

The Twisted Hunt runs from September 1-30 so hopefully you'll have plenty of time to see all 156 incredible stores. :-)
