Clothes Horse: time lapse clothing creation for Second Life

By admin on Feb. 24, 2010.

*~CH~* Pin-Up Girl- Valentine
by Claire Harford (second life resident)

This is not meant to be a “tutorial” with step-by-step instructions on how to go about replicating the design. It’s more like a showcase of just how much work and fiddling goes in to designs. I am a big fan of time lapse videos so I thought I’d capture one of my own creations taking shape.

This outfit was made over the course of a day and took roughly eight hours to complete.

Tools used:
Photoshop- for the painting
Camstudio- for the screen recording
FRAPS- for in-world recording
Sony Vegas- for post processing
Soundtrack- Fiona Apple: Slow Like Honey

A big thank you goes to Abu Nasu and his TechSlop wiki… hopefully this demonstrates just how much I rely on his Photoshop goodies to pull off this level of detail.:)

pet jewelry?

By admin on Feb. 23, 2010.

i lost my horse jackie a year ago and i have a lock of her mane how can i make it into jewelry or pottery?

You can find artists on line, like this lady: http://www.suzannestorms.com/ who will make custom jewelry from your horses hair.

I carry a lock of my dear departed gelding tail on a chain. It’s so hard to lose a much loved horse and having a little something, to keep close to you, can really help when you miss them most.

I don’t want to look a gift horse in the mouth here?

By admin on Feb. 23, 2010.

I was in traffic court recently (on a trumped up charge) and the judge said to me,"You’re driving record appears clean". Now I know that’s not true because I had a ticket for running a red (that turned red mind you) 5 months prior and a speeding ticket 3 years before that. How could they not know?

Not all cities turn thier traffic offenses into the national or state data bases. don’t know why but they dont’.

And often while it would show up, a ticket over 3 years ago is not normally taken into consideratioini.

And then on the 5 month old ticket, often it can take months for some departments to show thier convictions onto the state system.

so it is possible, he did not worry about a 3 year old ticket and the other one is not in the system yet.
with court backlogs, I have seen it take 5 months to a year for some courts to enter the information into the state system.

Good gift for 1 year old baby girl?

By admin on Feb. 23, 2010.

I’d like to buy a gift for a relative’s baby girl who’s turning 1 soon. They’re wealthy, so they have mostly everything, which is why it’s hard to shop for them. But anywho, something more then $100 but less than $200. I’ve thought of jewelry, but we bought her bangles already so.. Also thought of a very pretty musical waterglobe, but kinda not so appropriate for her age.. an adorable toy chest, but kinda don’t want to buy her something that will be difficult to return (plus, I dont know her room decor, except that it’s white). I don’t really want to buy her clothes because we always do anyway, and we just recently bought her a rocking horse. Any ideas?

I think the water globe idea is very cute. It would be something you could add to each year. A nice start to a very tasteful collection you could get her a new one each year on her birthday.

Other cool collection ideas
Precious Moments
Mini Tea sets
Cherished Teddies
Madam Alexander Dolls

There are also a lot of cool wall art items you can buy with a child’s name. My kids each have one in their room and they are just a nice addition to any bed room.
