art, Esterwell, Otium

art_otiumA group notice led me to an art exhibit currently at Otium-Leisure & Laziness. The artist is Carelyna. When you’re done looking at art you can go down to the beach. This is one sim where there are always people about when I visit.esterwell_9_19_005So, sometimes I play in an art gallery in Esterwell. I’m a curator and forger. Much of the art was already there but I put out a few pieces from my collection for others to enjoy. There’s an event happening soon on the whole sim, calling for the participation of SL artists who are interested. From the notecard:

“Esterwell’s First Annual Nocturne: Art at Night!

October 3rd and 4th 2014
Esterwell, a paragraph RP SIM that focuses on the art of writing would like to invite the artists of Second life to join us in a special two day event which celebrates all forms of art and not just the written word the first weekend of October.

While we welcome all submissions, we would love to challenge artists to create concept pieces based on a poem by one of the writers here in Esterwell entitled Porcelain.

Artists will have 50 prims on a first come first serve basis, at no cost to them, to display their work.

We invite submissions of all kinds including music, dancing, painting and anything else creative. This night isn’t about us telling you what to do, its about showing who you are!

Below you will find a short application form which can be returned to AnnaDeLuca Resident.”

You can IM me (pearlgrey resident) for an application if you want, or ask Anna. I’m not really involved in the event other than getting the word out. I’ve been logging in most days again and am willing to help if I can.

It’s an opportunity for you to show your stuff.

 

Destination Highlights

Otium, Templemore, virtual destinations

templemore_01I’ve still been visiting destinations inworld, just not snapping pictures or blogging them as often lately. The Second Life blog feed last week was about highlights from the destination guide; I’ve just made a brief visit to four of the six listed.

I have photos for intended blog posts about Neva Sky Villi, Takeuti Town and some city slum photos from a halodeck.  Those visits happened weeks ago and I hope to blog those soon.templemore_02Hesperia of Templemore is said to be dedicated to live music in SL. I love it for the architecture. There’s quite a variety of houses and other buildings and I recognized some from my favorite creators. Somehow it all works together. This place could easily be in my top favorite sims along with Roche, Athan Selidor Archipelegos and the Gulf of Lune. I intend to visit often. 

templemore_03I didn’t visit the Jerky Turkey Hunt 3 or the Grey November Gallery. (I visit the Gallery from time to time and have an animated picture by Rodriguez Munro on one of my walls.) 

I stopped by The Well but didn’t want to get the hud and I couldn’t get in without it. I simply wasn’t up for the frustration and humiliation of not being able to focus and figure out whatever the mystery or hunt is.

Otium_01My next stop was Otium. I don’t have a SLurl for you but I see it’s being blogged at this time by others so it can easily be found. I did all this last night after getting stood up by my roleplaying partners due to First Life. There were quite a few newbies around.  

Otium_02I’m afraid that my four photos of Otium mostly feature some of the newbies. I haven’t seen any for a while and I do believe they really were fairly new although I didn’t check profiles. Here’s to their Second Lives; may they have amusing, gentle and expanding experiences.

Otium_03Well maybe she isn’t so new.

Otium_04I guess I wasn’t so much into being on another beach right now since I’ve started another roleplay journey, stranded on a tropical island. This is in addition to my life in Wendigo Lake and the Victorian life I also have. I’m really having to make efficient use of my time as my human’s life has also gotten busier. 

rockabillyMy last stop was at the Rockabilly Fashion Fair. It was crowded and I had begun to run out of time. The fashion isn’t quite my style but I like the picture above.

As of this evening I haven’t seen any blog posts (and I am behind in my blog reading) that feature the Templemore City. I’m looking forward to them though because I am very impressed with the place and there are quite a few virtual photographers and bloggers who do excellent work showcasing destinations. I highly recommend anyone visit.
