What Once Was...

I looked out the now barren Garden of NPIRL Delights, its grounds a dizzying swirl of colors and textures...And turned to look up at our beautiful Tower and sighed, knowing that it had to come down...
And come down it did! Kheph and I hit the "trigger" and pieces went flying everywhere! Crap Mariner filmed it and Madcow--as carrotdino--came to watch...
We even convinced Madcow to demolish his as well, and creature pieces fell from the sky...
...And onto the psychedelia of the grounds below. What once was is now no more, but it was a great run while it lasted.

And It All Came Tumbling Down...

Many thanks to Crap Mariner for filming this fun machinima of our Tower at the Rezzable Garden being demolished. It was quite the takedown!! It was fun while it lasted, and thanks to Madcow for coming to see it and then destroying his own!

Well, It's a Wrap...

The Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights officially closed tonight. I stood on my skyplat reading and responding as the group and Gardeners shared their thoughts and spread the love. I know that for me--and I think I can speak for Kheph too on this one--my sending Bettina the proposal for the Tower was one of the best things I've done while in SL.

It has been an incredible, special experience for me to be a part of this and to have helped to create and be a part of something that so many have enjoyed. I've made new friends such as Madcow, Eshi, and Jieux and have been so inspired by the works of my fellow Gardeners. Something's shifted in me. I've always been very creative inworld, but I want to expand...do different things. Do more! Truly explore the creativity that I originally came into Second Life to do. The inspiration that I feel inworld goes into my RL art and writing as well...it has been such a positive thing that way.

I don't know what my hands will bring forth next. You'll just have to watch this steampunk brass kitty to see...

The Garden is Almost Done...

The time at the Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights is winding down, so I thought I'd hop around on the HUD and see installations such as Truthseeker Young's "The Singularapture is Near..."There was something calming about Seifert Surface's "The Sky is Falling"...
Good thing I'm wearing red already at The Messenger's "Narrow Path to Infinity"...
Looking at Madcow's big toe at "Heterotroph"...
On a sleep orbital at Poulet Koenkamp's "Zero Gravity Garden"...
So many more I could post. Take a look at my flickr Garden set for more...

Groovin' in the Garden: Earth

You can barely see her over that rig, but Dia was DJing her "Earth" set at the Garden. I went medival maiden this time. Make sure you come out on Wednesday for her "Hell"!

Go to the Garden While You Can!

Angel Groovin'

Pin popped in for a moment still looking super-cute from our visit to Raglan Galaxy the other night. I love his bunny AV and I met him at Forevre Tiny in Kittiwick...He left and I went over to the Rezzable Garden for Dia's DJ "Heaven" set and got my groove on!

"Rock, Crash & Roll!": Grooving at Gardenstock

The Rezzable NPIRL Garden of Earthly Delights kicked off its Gardenstock today, with some of the best live musicians inworld coming to play at the stage next to the Tower. I'm the tiny bunny in black on the right dancing to Kaklick Martin, who was the first live musician inworld I had ever heard...I was about to leave, but Malburns Writer IMd me suggesting that I stay and hear the next band V.L.B. (Virtual Live Band) and I am so glad that I did as they were GREAT! They are comprised of 4 musicians from France, Germany, England and the U.S. who are playing live! I thought it was a fantastic concept and enjoyed seeing the video going of live crowdshots and them playing in RL too. If you ever get a chance to see them, do eet! Their lead singer Foxy was unable to make it, so LittleNoisyFox Delight got up there and "filled in" for her! He rawked! Tinies represent!! "Rock, Crash & Roll!"

Posts from the Garden: Opening Day

Opening Day at the Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights found me roaming the build as an angel in Nix Sands' beautiful 1400s golden armor. I started off at Madcow's "Heterotroph"...It being Friday, I was invited to a shabbat candle lighting ceremony over at my build neighbor Jieux Shepherd's, led by Beth Odets. I had never been to one before. Thank you for including me Jieux!
Over at the Tower, SL celeb fashion designer Callie Cline stopped by to tell me how much she liked it and we shot the breeze talking for a while...
Phin sat in the scales and got judged. It ain't lookin' good for him...
Later, Lunar and I danced on the wall--or is it a floor--of Darkle Sands' "Labyrinth" build...

Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights Open!

I sat perched upon our creation waiting for the time for the Rezzable Garden of NPIRL Delights to finally open to the public! Based upon Hieronymous Bosch's "Garden of Earthly Delights" (one of my absolute fave pieces), the Festival features some of SL's best creators and scripters. Around 12:05 SLT I was amazed as it was as if the sims fairly exploded with green dots! It was so incredibly exciting to see!Madcow Cosmos and I were both excited and had fun watching people going by. Remember Madcow, the HUD is the navigation-challenged's friend!
My build with Kheph, the "Tower of Industrial Judgement", is inspired by the "Earth" central panel of the triptych. My concept was that of a "aethereal steampunk tower" and we thought of man, technology, and the Tower of Babel. Kheph and I ran with that, making it a truly collaborative build, both of us adding onto it and surprising each other. Madcow asked me my fave part of it. I love building the fishie, the scales, and oddly enough...these walkways and platforms that I think give it a certain delicacy...
Fellow artist and Gardener Eshi Otawara came over and ended up trying out the swinging wrecking ball. Her dress has this unbelievably beautiful texture...
But I am already finding that a crowd favorite is high in the sky...my flying fishie, based upon the painting and my late fighting fish Magic. Please come and visit the Festival! You will not be disappointed!
