KessKreations

Here are my last 2 pieces I will be featuring at the 2008 Jewelry Exposition (LM will work on the 5th):
If you would like an LM please TP to my store in Amira and touch the jewelry expo sign in front of my store. You will get an LM and information.

Florence is a pin, broach, whatever you call it. It is a classic set of grapes. I happen to live 5 miles from a winery. I do take advantage of the Wine Festival they have. This pin actually was designed when I was driving down the road and saw the sign for the winery. It is available in black pearl for the expo. It is scripted to metal change (zirconium, platinum, or gold).

Antonia is a single cushion square cut diamond with pave accents. I got on this pave kick, I’m sure it will end real soon, heh. The ring is scripted to change metals (your choice of 3) and gems (8).

Here’s what my booth, Number 39, looks like:

Expo opens Oct 5th and runs until Oct 11th.

I’m baked and done. I’m sure you are all so very glad.

One day my tiny otter friend, Noam Poikolainen asks for a gift card for a friend. I give him one and box it up as a gift and he tells me it’s for this singer he met at Jade’s.  Long story short, he kept telling me, “She’s go the best pipes in SL I’ve ever heard!” and so I had to IM her.  ZDiva Sorbet has the most gorgeous voice and tonight she is performing at Jade’s Jazzy Lounge at 8pm SLT. I’m not saying she’s great cause she wears my stuff. She’s great because a) she’s an amazing singer but also b) she’s an IRCer like myself from back in the day. We are a strange breed.

Go listen to her and enjoy!

My limited edition sets for the 2008 Expo are the Paani Jewelry Sets. Stacie Pryor took the time to look it over and review it. It looks really elegant on her and it amazes me what various color settings many people use. Stacie looks positively glowing, I’d blame that on my jewelry but to be honest, it’s because Stacie’s the sweetest thing. And she doesn’t stalk me… or so I believe. <3

These are limited to 25 a piece (the black pearl has 24)

Stop on by my store in Amira for an LM to the expo which starts Oct 5th and ends Oct 11th. Also join my update group- it doesn’t take a group slot. And in a few hours I will be delivering demos of my treats available at the expo.

Last thing: I love being at my booth during the expo but here’s how I feel about it. The first day of the expo I feel like I am taking an agent slot that someone else could have.  I would prefer someone else was able to get in, rather than me taking it up. I hope that if anyone doesn’t see me at my booth during the beginning of the expo it’s not because I don’t care about the expo- I just would prefer someone get in.  I also hope no one calls me a bitch this year.

The SL Jewelry Expo will be from Sunday, October 5 - Saturday, October 11. If you would like an LM you can go to my store in Amira and touch the Jewelry Expo Sign out front and grab a sign which has an LM and some other stuff.

Now I’m going to show you all what freebies you can get from me at the expo.

There is a hunt at the expo, last year my hunt piece was a limited edition silver star necklace. This year it is a limited piece as well- Poseidon’s Treasure bracelet. It’s a very art deco style piece. Of course, it is scripted to metal/gem change so you get 8 gem options and 3 metals. (Click to enlarge)

Now my freebie comes in 2 parts. The first is a matching Poseidon’s Treasure Necklace. Super gorgeous. I’m digging the design and I couldn’t decide. Originally this piece was going to be sold- along with the bracelet- but I got really tired Saturday night and said “F IT- Freebie and hunt piece- I AM DONE”. (click to enlarge)

The last freebie is part of the getup that you see at my booth.  My theme is “Experience Beauty” and what I thought of was Botticelli’s “Birth of Venus”. Maybe you don’t think of that, but I did. And I thought, “Hell, let’s make a pose!” And I did. Then I thought, “Hell, I’m not going to put my naked butt on my expo booth!” and decided to make a little wrap. Clothing was easier than prim hair, since in the painting it’s hair that covers her nether regions. Thus, the pose and wrap were born. I thought about keeping it to myself but when I passed it to a few people they adored it. So now it’s free! For all! A free for all!  Here’s the imagery that graces my booth at the expo….. (Click to enlarge)

Unfortunately, not only do you see me half nekkid but you also have an insight to my very scary thought process…. sorry! ALSO:

Don’t forget to join my group because Saturday I am sending out demos to my jewelry expo stuff. A day early you get to see my primwork which I think is my best ever. (in my very humble opinion)

Love,
Kessie

First, the Delightful Cerrie Janus wrote a lovely piece about yours truly- moi. It features her gorgeous photograhy and a jewelry expo piece: Cerrie. I named it after her because, as she writes, she literally stalked me until I made a dragonfly piece. In all seriousness, she opened the door on me while I was in the bathroom! *twirls finger around ear in the universal crazy gesture*

This next picture is of me wearing the Naseem set that will be auctioned to benefit Heifer International. I love the idea of ‘pay it foward’ and Heifer International seems to mix both teaching a man to fish so he’s always fed and paying it foward. I hope that my piece, along with other’s, raises a lot of funds for this charity.  Naseem is arabic for breeze.  Click on the image to see it larger. I’ve been watching Cerrie’s photography carefully.

Here it is:

It’s gorgeous! I’m in love with it. I may bid on it myself so I can keep it.

I honestly was afraid I wouldn’t have the motivation to get some items created for the Jewelry Expo but I do. The pictures are not done but all the primwork is and the textures as well. I rezzed them all out for my friend to see before I released sneak preview copies and he said I had outdone myself. Which is nice.

I will be posting up images in upcoming blog posts. I will have for sale at the expo: (all items will ONLY be availbable at the expo so snap them up then, I’m saving for a macbook [cuz im cool like dat] so BUY BUY BUY!)

1 White Pearl Limited Edition set named: Paani (necklace, earrings, ring- will metal/gem change) 25 items only sold.
1 Black Pearl Limited Edition set named: Paani (Necklace, earrings, ring - will metal/gem change) 25 items only sold
1 broach named Florence
1 Pearl necklace and pendant named Cerrie
1 ring named Antonia
Freebie: Venus di milo and Poseidon’s Treasure necklace
Hunt gift: Poseidon’s Treasure matching bracelet

Auction Item: Blue pearl and changing metal jewelry set. It took me a long time. Bid on it or I will curse you all. (kidding on the curse part, but bid on it)

I guess that is all. To my friendslist: Thanks for being on my flist. You all are the bestest. <3

METAVIRTUAL UPDATE:

It’s up and running.  Get added and start using!!!!! Spread the word too!  I’ve had some suggestions and I am going to add a View All feed. So you can get your one stop dose of all Metavirtual tags.  I will be making changes to the CMS section as soon as the expo is complete.

Love,
Kessarrrrrrggret

First of all, I’d l like to thank Miriel for her tireless work in setting up the last 2 jewelry expos. I have *no* idea how she does it, but Thanks Miriel!!! I will be in the jewelry expo and I will be doing some limited pieces. Some only available at the expo and some limited in numbers. If I can finish everything I designed on the plane on the way to SLCC then I will have an auction piece too. I hope, at least. And, for the record, I was drunk AND sleep deprived on the plane— prepare please.

Secondly, Metavirtual development is on hold until after the expo. I need to make some jewelry and being the way that I feel right now isn’t helping out. Thankfully I have a sweet as pie husband who knows php much better than me and 2 kitties who tolerate me snuggling them. Better than prozac.

The Metavirtual fashion feed is up. I plan to have the Business feed up tomorrow, THEN I promise to work on my expo jewelry.

I have a big to do list for both KessKreations, Real Life, and Metavirtual, and one sekret plan (with marissa to start). I hope I can accomplish it all.

TMI ALERT:

I’m going through this funk right now so I am *really* unmotivated. That’s not good due to the Jewelry Expo coming up. I’m just entering a depression. I hate it though because it realllllly demotivates me and all I do is eat buttercream icing…

The virtual world community is becoming more than just Second Life! Soon there will be various grids and we will be able to hop from grid to grid really easily. The current Second Life feeds are great, however I feel they are outdated. I do not want to step on anyone’s toes as the feeds we have are wonderful and have given me what I needed. The more moderated ones are the best but I like to talk about technical stuff and tutorials as well as my fashion business. This is why I have created this, not to step in anywhere, but to give us bloggers who write about more than just one topic a feed to be read in and to read that will be dedicated to a specific subject.  That’s where, I believe, MetaVirtual steps in!

MetaVirtual is a one stop aggregator and community for virtual world related blogs. Currently I am featuring Second Life but plan to add categories for any virtual worlds that are in existence! I want this to become the one stop for all virtual world information. Aggregators will be separated by subjects. Currently I will have Second Life Fashion, Second Life Grid (general grid hopping/scenic), Second Life Technical (items related to development of SL, opensim, client development, etc.)  and Second Life Tutorials as aggregator categories. Aggregators will be tag/category driven. What that means is after you sign up to be on MetaVirtual’s feeds you will need to category/tag your posts appropriately for the feed you want to be in. So if I want to write about fashion today I will tag it MV-SL-fashion and that will feed it only on the SL Fashion section. If I don’t want my post to be on the feeds here at all I will not tag it appropriately. I believe this has been a feature people have been requesting for a while, not to mention MetaVirtual will be moderated.

The site is hosted on a grid based system, guaranteed to survive a slashdotting (or so they advertise). There will be advertising on the main page available for purchase.

MetaVirtual is still in the beginning stages currently. Anyone who would like to suggest features or help with the development is welcome to IM Kesseret Steeplechase inworld or contact via email ks (at) kesseret.net. Unfortunately I cannot afford to pay, but suggestions/help or contacts with bloggers at other virtual words (There, Kaneva, OpenGridLife, etc) to get their sections added since I really do not want this to become Second Life only.

For the technical side I will be using Drupal for the management of the main content area. I will be using Wordpress and feedwordpress for the aggregators.

Metavirtual is currently in the development stages and I will post when I am ready to accept blogs into the feeds. This press release is to gather up some suggestions from the community (and help if they feel like it).

Much love,

Kesseret
