THE CHANGE OF SEASONS

Just stop and breathe. That's what I am doing this week.

But in between breaths, I made time to go see the Seasons Hunt like everyone else. :)

If you've seen all of these things before, that's all right. They're perfectly lovely anyway.

Most of this is from the Seasons Hunt, but not the shoes. ... For a couple of weeks I've been avoiding going to G Field because I wanted these shoes so bad. And not just one color either. You know how you see some things in Second Life and wish you could get them in Real Life? Yeah like that. Finally when I was in the mood for self-restraint, I went and bought them, only the two pairs in brown, and purple. Oy.

E.L.F. RECRUITER

You might think she is a wannabe except for her ears. Rough notches look like they have been taken out of each ear, with a tool that wasn't very sharp. They're still healing.

Still, no weapons. At least not that you can see. Unless you count lace as a weapon.

She strolls the street talking to herself a little.

"They call me a radical, an anarchist, a whack job. The E.L.F.s cannot accept this way of living. ... Can you believe it? Here is all that is left of my woods!!"

(About the Hair! I cannot recommend enough that you go try on a demo of this hairpiece. Two of my hair wishes found a solution in this one hairpiece. ...

First, I wanted hair that is wearable under hats. This hair does not cover the top of your head but it's not intended to be worn without a hat. In the past I have enlarged hats to fit over various hairdos, but that never really looks right. I have also worn short men's hair under hats but wished for something more feminine. This style is actually much cuter in three dimensions than I could easily show in a snapshot.

Second, I wanted hair that is designed around my pointed fae-elf ears. Typically hair is designed to lay flat over human ears. This hair parts around each ear, with most of the hair behind and a couple of bits of hair curving appropriately around the front of each ear. Often I have to do lots of editing to fit hair so that it does not poke through my ears. Again, you really will see what I mean better if you go try on a demo. I also like having some hair in front of each ear to cover the juncture between the ear and the face, which never blends perfectly no matter how good a job you do matching the color.)

PICK-A-NICK

I ran across this sweet little picnic basket and stopped to think what a great idea that was. So I put down my book and hung my glasses on my necklace.

Hmm today is Saturday maybe I should dig the picnic basket out of my garage. The basket got me back in the mood for floaty spring clothes and a dose of cuteness.

About this hair: it's fabulous for photos but the long bits cut into my shoulders in a lot of poses. But hey I am a can-do kind of girl, so I made another copy of the hair and modified it to make all those long bits on the shoulders shorter, for everyday wear. Love it. <3

Love,

BLACKBIRD

The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait ...

Blackbird fly away
May you never be broken again

I hope you find your way.

INSPIRED BY LOONY

erm, I mean Luna Lovegood. For those of you who don't read J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter, Luna has an enchanted Lion Hat that she wears to cheer on the Griffindor Quidditch team. When I saw this headgear I laughed and had to have it, but I couldn't bring myself to buy it in blonde.

This lovely skin with some bruises and a little bandage near my eye are perfect for the brilliant yet absentminded girl who has occasional accidents whilst brewing potions.

Now Luna is messy and unconventional and doesn't spend much time worrying about whether her clothes really match. Stripes? Florals? Knits? Sneakers? Sure bring 'em on. (I modded this long skirt to knee length to show off the leggings.)

Hair: Nikita Fride “Jungle King”
Scarf: Gypsy Soul “Holiday Wrap”
