Vandeverre's Emporium

For those of you who play in SL, I'll be selling my parcel in Caledon Brigadoon. Comment or email me for details.

I have an Edwardian evening gown I'm working on, but no big plans other than that. Any requests?

I haven't been spending a lot of time inworld, as summer and a brace of twins who aren't in school keep me rather occupied, but I did sell my secondary plot of land and am working on transferring all the catacombs over to the new owner. I might end up putting catacombs under my own shop as well, and connecting them.

It is Spring/Summer where I live, and not only have I taken up organic beekeeping, but the garden, and my twins playing outside, have seduced me away from Second Life for quite a while.

However, I found tonight that the newest Release Candidate seems to have finally solved the "Mac crashes in 3 minutes with Windlight" problem, at least for my MacPro. Whew!

I'm still selling my second plot in Caledon Brigadoon, and I am still planning to make houppelandes. Feel free to suggest creations of a historical nature.

I am likely selling my lesser-used plot in Caledon Brigadoon -- the one that has the Catacombs under it -- for the cost I bought it from Mr. Shang. Comes with or without catacombs. I'll be sending a note to Mr. Shang in case he wants to mention it to someone on his waiting list.

Slurl for my store; from there, turn South; it is the flat area with the walkway, surrounded by the colonnade.

This week's item, inspired by John R. Neill's illustrations for the Oz books, starting in 1908:



Second floor of my shop. The SLRFL Bartholomew hat is also on display out front, so you can watch the little hats go bouncing.

Finally got this into the SLRFL vendor also!

I have a silly item available in a Relay For Life vendor at my store in Caledon Brigadoon. It's inspired by the book The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins. It also drops hats which drift about in the wind and stream off into the distance (but only 13 at a time.)



L$ 150 donation to the cancer charity fund; comes with two sizes and a notecard about editing if you don't want the dropped hat function.

Slurl to my store Vandeverre's Emporium.

This is what I'm working on:

Edit: ... I could make replicating particles with a hat image on them... don't know if particles can be told to stay above the ground level, though. *ponder, ponder*

LATER: Got them particles working very well. I should get to sleep though!

Just finished it tonight; probably needs another small tweak or two. Argent Stonecutter's script, my design otherwise. L$30.




This also marks my first use of PNG instead of TGA -- somehow I missed the announcement that you could switch to PNG, which obviates all of the Alpha layer tricks. Whoohoo!
