For this really special event i ve created 4 new dresses from my ArtFashion productline, 4 beautiful dresses textured with one of my artworks and materials enabled.
To go along those 4 new outfits, ive brought 4 other items from the same product line.

The 8 Petit Chat's dress will be displayed today the 27th of May 2014 at 2 PM SLT at the Penumbra fashion show arena.  (click for the slurl)

And i really hope to see you there.

The 4 new items ive created for this event are materials enabled as usual, and i may say im quite addicted to play with the windlight settings when i m wearing them.

The first one is textured with the "Poussière d'étoile" artwork. A pic i made from a snapshot i made in Serenité sim. The pic is no longer exhibited in my artgallery, but you know you can send me an im anytime if you want to buy it. You can also see it in my Flickr 
The dress is a short sleeveless dress with a belt on the hips. I've accesorized it with a pair of sunglasses (also material enabled).


The second item, is the Anywhere leather dress, textured with an artwork created among other things from a snapshot made in Feast sim. This one has still never been exhibited inworld. "Anywhere" flikr 
Im particularly proud of the leather texture result even more beautiful looked with materials.



The 3rd item is a dress textured with one of my famous Buddha pics serie, exhibited in my previous exhibit in my artgallery. This one is called Reflection of a Buddha and you can also see the pic in Flikr 

This one is particularily elegant and feminine and comes with an assorted clutch. All is materials enabled as usually.



But my biggest pride is the 4rth one : Suspendue pour l'eternité. The original artwork (flikr) has been created from a snapshot i took in University of Western Australia, one of my favorite hang out. This artwork is part of my current exhibition "Wandering alone" in my artgallery.
The artwork fit perfectly on the dress and i've added some mesh fishes at the bottom of the dress that will jump in and out the dress as you will walk like they would do in the water. It also comes with a fish hallo.


To go allong those 4 new creations, i chose 4 other items from the same productline.

Wicca Merlin knows a lot about fashion, she's a pro model and also designer (i got some ivy jewellery from her store for accesorizing a dress, and the less i can say is that im totally in love with the set i bought).

Lua modeled the Tree of life dress on stage for the fashionshow featuring Petit Chat and really ive re discovered this dress by her look. She stylized the gown like i never saw it before. A pure awesomeness... http://luasecrets.blogspot.fr/2014/05/penumbra-fashion-week-springsummer-2014_27.html and this one about the Rainbow acid gown : http://luasecrets.blogspot.fr/2014/05/penumbra-fashion-week-springsummer-2014_31.html

FASHIONART, WHEN FASHION MEETS ART

Coucou !

Tomorrow, friday May, 9th, will start a huge event gathering together art and fashion : FashionArt.


When i saw this event was about to happen and that applications were open, of course, i've applied right away. Because this was the perfect match with my new product line Petit Chat ArtFashion.
Sadly, the event was booked within some hours, and even if i applied early, i got an IM from one of the event magagers, telling me it was already full and asking me if i was ok for being on the waiting list.


Of course, i answered positively, but to be honnest, i wasn't holding my breath about it.
But on last monday (so 4 days before the opening of the event), i got an IM from Manon (one of the event managers) asking me if i was still ok, because she had one booth available. Of course, i jumped on this opportunity ! But, OMG, only 4 lil days to get ready (create one exclusive item and install my booth).

But, in the end, i did it !!!


The event is really huge ! A lot of famous designers are here !
In order to really match with the theme, i decided to bring the related canvas from my ArtGallery wich go along with my items from ArtFashion productline.



For creating my exclusive item, i choosed to use "Le doux voyage" paint (from my current exhibit).

Of course, this dress is also materials enabled.


As usually with every item of this specific productline, if you want the better effect, you will need to check the "advanced lighting model" and "ambient occlusion" boxes in your preference menu/graphic tab.


Light reflection and relief are giving an amazing look to this dress.
The original paint has a colored and romantic mood, so i've been careful to keep this on the dress.


Of course, if your computer is not good enough to handle the ultra graphic settings, be assured the dress looks amazing even without the materials (see pic below).


I've added mesh sunglasses in the pack (materials enabled too).



I really love how these sunglasses add a special touch to the dress.

The dress and sunglasses are copy only, but the sunglasses are also resizable, so you can adjust to the best size for you.

The event will start on friday May 09th and will run till May 31st - 2014  12pm SLT

And needless to say, im super excited.

THE RAGLAN SHIRE ARTWALK 2014

Coucou !

As i told you in my previous post, i got the happy surprise to have the visit of Karmagirl Avro lately in my gallery and she Im'ed me to invite me to the 9th annual Raglan Shire Artwalk.
Of course, i've been really honored and accepted the invitation right away.
The Raglan Shire Artwalk gather more than 100 artists together every year for an exceptional and huge art exhibition. Artists from all around the world display there RL and SL artpieces (2D and 3D). Beguiner artists and more experienced ones are here together, linked by their passion for art.


As i said the place is huge and i wont be able to show you a lot, but i hope this post will give you willings to go and visit.
The place is split in 5 areas : Raglan shire art area 1 , Raglan Shire art area 2 , Art and sculpture on Morning Shire , Sculpture in the forest on Heron Shire , Sculpture on Athen Shire and you can add also their permanent Tree gallery platform .

You will find there TP boards that will make easy for you to go from a spot to another.


Every 2D artist has been granted 15 prims they can use as they wish. 3D artists of course got more prims to display.
You will be amazed by the diversity of the pieces. Some from RL art (drawings, paints, photographs), other from SL arts (raw pictures, digital art, animated textures), sculptures, particles... Well, that's it, a huge diversity and this is the real richness of this event.

If you want to visit all, you 'll need several hours of hanging out. Some names are famous, some unknown. A good opportunity for you to discovery new artists, or to enjoy some you know already.
Among them, my friend Fingol exhibit some of his stunning pics there :



At this point, i must say that Raglan Shire is a really lovely place. It gather several sims together and if you like green environments you will enjoy the visit.
Before everything else, Raglan Shire is a community.  A community of tiny and adorable people, living there, among parks, tree houses and lovely cottages. You will meet them at every street corners and they are really friendly and cute.
So of course those parks and forests make an ideal surround for sculptures.





Some pieces are really incredible.. the one above is animated and it's the kind of thing i can sit in front and be fascinated for hours.

My exhibition is located in the Morning Shire corner among some other 2D arts and sculptures.




I selected 14 canvas from my ArtGallery for displaying here and added an inedite one "Love at the first sight".
I feel blessed because i'm really well surrounded.
At the right side, my friend Lo Coeur has some of her stunning pics :


At the left side, the famous Ginger Lorakeet, exhibit 3 of her interactive artworks :


And all over, sculptures... like this one :



While you are there, don't forget to visit the permanent little artgallery located in a tree :


Currently, it's hosting 2 great artists : Schen resident and Karmagirl Avro.
Karmagirl Avro has some lil unusual RL pictures really lovely.
Schen has some amazing pieces there too.

The Raglan Shire Artwalk 2014 will officially open tomorrow sunday May 4th and will run till May 25th.
Hope you will enjoy your visit !

For now, i blow a kiss to you from my lil corner there :)
