    Twelve Days of Christmas Sale!
    So if you've been shopping yourself senseless in anticipation of the holidays, here's a special little sale at Social Butterfly :)i(: so you can get a little something for yourself. Here's how it works: on each of the Twelve Days of Christmas (December 25 - January 5) we'll be secretly marking down one of the Kaleidoscope Eyes from L$50 down to L$12. It will be marked down just for that one day, so be sure to check back daily.

    We'll also have a wrapped package tucked in the corner with a free ladies' top in it just for those twelve days as well.

    Social Butterfly :)i(: is located at Quantum Fields: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Quantum%20Fields/223/83/23

    Have a happy holiday season, everyone!

    Xmas Wishes

    I saw these at at Four Bridges North:

    You can sit in chairs that fly about. You can also drop notes into the wish boards to let people know what you want for the new year.

    One person's wish.

    And another person's. A bit "new-agey" I guess, but there's nothing wrong with that this time of year. :)

    How to make clothes in Second Life tutorial – with Photoshop.
    Hey everyone! I spent the past few days putting together a helpful tutorial about how to make clothing textures in second life by use of photoshop! I use to have the artcile on my old website, but it was lost when we took it down. But I have revised and rewritten, posting it up on my offical blog, Piper Shan Designs. Take a peek if you are interested!

    Tutorial can be found here!

    Tips for a new merchant?
    Greetings all!
    I'm a new builder and seller in Second Life, and would love to hear any tips from more experienced merchants for someone just starting out as I am.

    I have spent a few months figuring out building before I was confident enough to start selling my wares seriously. I have previous Photoshop experience, and have been using it to my advantage as far as textures and such.

    I am still very very shakily starting out though, and have not managed to sell much either in world or via xstreet. Granted my items have been for sale only a couple of weeks so I can't expect miracles. Today I paid the 899L fee to feature one of my better items in the hopes that the exposure will help. Fingers crossed, as I can only afford to feature it for 7 days unless things start selling.

    I would love to know how any of you other merchants started out, your experiences, your trials and tribulations. Anything that may be useful for myself, and two of my friends who are also just starting out as new merchants.

    I should note, I am not expecting to make a lot doing this. I just want to be able to cover my own costs so that I can continue to make things. My ultimate goal is to make affordable (but not under priced to the point of hurting the market) items, that people enjoy.

    Thanks so much for your time. :)

    Edit:
    If anyone wants to see what I'm trying to sell and maybe suggest either ways to improve my items, my marketing, or whatever, here is my xstreet addy:
    https://www.xstreetsl.com/modules.php?name=Marketplace&MerchantID=529960

    I am currently in the process of setting up in a new (roomy!) main store so I don't have an in-world link quite yet. (Well I do, there just isn't any of my stuff in the building yet)

    New Avatars from Syn_Squee!
    I have finally gotten through all my overtime at work and owed artwork and commissions....and....

    I AM WORKING ON AVATARS AGAIN!!! :D

    I just came out with my new Mycena avatars!! They are in the vendors now in all my locations!!!

    They are sculpted full prim avatars and they come in 7 colors.
    The avatars have night glow and day skins and come with cute little santa hats in time for the holidays. :3

    Here is the sunset color!


    Click the images to see them bigger.

    You can also get one of these avatars for free when you buy the toy and provide a proof of purchase from here:
    http://www.patchtogether.com/store/store/view/id/166
    (The website seems to be down right now, but this deal is still opens when it comes back up.)

    Currently I am working on the next avatar already. They are Day Geckos! (Yes, same species as Gex and the Geico Gecko.)
    Here is a preview of the sculpts I made for the avatar:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/d/6818-1/gecko.jpg
    (Ignore the picture in the background, that is Kunta-Kanti, my gecko dragon character, I am making a mod of the avatar of her when I have time.)

    These are in the process of being textured like this:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/d/6824-2/GeckoColors.jpg

    :D

    After that I am working on a new red panda update!
    Here is a preview of that head:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/newredpanda.jpg.html
    It may come out massively different in Second Life. I am trying to do sculpted eyes on this one. The geckos have prim lids in SL but they're using a rotate script (like the Tokushi Fnuff, and the script was actually written by my buddy Racush of Tokushi.)

    I also recently finished an adorable custom avatar for my boyfriend of a tri-colored border collie (Jay!):
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_4.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_3.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_2.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/JAY_1.jpg.html
    I re-used the prims from the fruit fox (all but the ears) but I made a whole new avatar with them for him. :3

    Which is actually the same thing I did to make this personal custom avatar of my sloth character "Noodle" for myself:
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/NoodleTree.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/NoodleBeams.jpg.html
    http://www.synchrastudios.com/gallery/v/sl/noodlewinter.jpg.html

    For future reference this is what I have to do on my to do list right now...
    1. Gecko avatars (being textured!)
    2. Red Panda avatars update (head is in the process of being sculpted)
    3. Anglaroos avatars update (concepted)
    4. Custom avatar trade with Whinge (concepted)
    5. Organic Nashua (custom) avatar update (concepted)
    6. Caracal avatars
    7. Synchra (custom) avatar update (concepted)
