Monday Eyeful – Eye Effects by Birth

Posted by Helena Stringer on May 4, 2020

This week on Monday Eyeful, I am showing you eye effects from Birth. Not many designers make things that augment your eyes, but I really do enjoy the ones I end up randomly finding.

These are from Birth called Glimmer Eye System. You need the base system to be able to use the Eye Effects.

They are priced at L$150 per pack of 2 Effects, with 2 packs to collect. When I say 2 Effects, I mean the Type is the same, but you get one animation that is already coloured, and the other is a tintable version.

I ended up taking Some Gyazo Gifs of the effects, so you can see what they do, as pictures don’t do them justice. Also, it really is much cooler inworld live.

Glimmer Eyes by Birth – Standard Effect that comes with the base system

100% RFL Charity Spellbook Effect by Birth – Coloured Effect Version

100% RFL Charity Firehands Effect by Birth – Coloured Effect Version

The one this I really like about the base system, is there is a BOM set included, so I am actually wearing my own eyes, Shifting Sands, which are what the effects are layered on top of. The best part about the base system, is you have pupil options. My Shifting Sands eyes are pupiless, so this allows me to change the look of my own creation, adding pupils, changing their size, adding shine type, then putting the effects on top.

This really means you can end up with so many options for eyes in your collection. This system, and it’s addon effects, can really help you make your look unique. I normally start my look with my eyes, and go from there, and now I can really make them the centerpiece of my who ensemble.

Crystals!!!

Posted by Helena Stringer on April 16, 2020

Very rarely do I blog in the H&G category. I actually have never had a home in sl, prims are precious. Even with the 2 sims, and all the mainland I have, I just always thought it was silly to waste the prims on a home.

I do have urges every once in a while, and sometimes things are just too cool to pass up. That is what these huge Crystals are for me. Something really cool, that I wanted, and didn’t care if I had a place for them. I will eventually put one out at my store desk, or in my work station(which is where I photographed these).

If you want some random crystals for yourself, then you have to head on down to Ostara’s Alter Event. These are the New and Exclusive item from Celeste.

If you are up to a slight, not so challenging challenge, there is this really cool globe thing, that Celeste has out for their Hunt item. It is only L$5, and the eggs in the hunt are rather huge and easy to find.

If you would like to see what else is at the event, there is a wonderful gallery, with all exclusives, plus all the L$5 Hunt items.

Crystals – Celeste – Gradient Crystals in Green 1, Aqua 2 and Yellow 3 – *NEW & Exclusive* @ Ostara’s Alter Event until April 19th

The numbers correspond to the configuration of the crystals, not so much to the sizes. Or that is the way it seems to me. They are Copy/Mod, so you can change the sizes anyway.

Fantasy Faire 2015 – Dancing with Butterflies

Posted by Helena Stringer on May 1, 2015

Dance with me, in the soft light.
Play with me, come take flight.

I am not often a petite anymore. There was a time when I was tiny, more than half my week. I made a lot of content for these wee creatures, and still continue to do so, to a point.

Fantasy Faire always has a plethora of items for the petites, and this year is no different. I dug in, dusted off my little wings, and created an outfit for you all to enjoy.

Fallen Gods created a special skin for Relay for Life, every Fantasy Faire, this year bringing forth a creature from the deep. The watery designs on the face are rather beautiful, reminding me more of dew on a spiderweb, but keeping to that essence of those that live under the waves. Meet
