Eclectica "Hearts"

Eclectica "Hearts" are two jewellery sets, both hearts but different. Antique Hearts (above) are old, with ornate metal borders in a rope-edged design, and lovely chased metal details. The rich detailing compliments the satin heart insets. Please click all images for a bigger lookie.

Gathered Hearts (below) are more modern, with less ornate metalwork, however the texturing is soft and subtley shaded.

Both sets are texture changeable, and include a mass of lovely combinations. All metals and hearts have a wide choice of custom made textures to make these very adaptable. It's impossible to show all colour possibilities, so please find the demo pack at the Eclectica Mainstore.

Antique Hearts earrings below...(there are three, as I had a bit of fun and had to include them all).

Antique Hearts bracelets, and how they fit...

Antique Hearts necklaces...and some of the possible colour combinations...

Gathered Hearts earrings (two styles are included...bigger and smaller)...

Gathered Hearts bracelets...

And Gathered Hearts necklaces...

All of these pieces contain one 64kb script per piece. This allows all the textures shown to be used, plus resizing. It's removable, and the pieces are copy/mod. They are designed to allow you the maximum control over how you use them to suit your outfits. Please use the supplied textures plus the edit menu to adjust any hues you like, to make these suit your look perfectly. Demos are available to help you decide :)


Eclectica is in the Pimp My Valentine Hunt atm. It ends on the 14th February, and you can join the group to receive a slurl-giving HUD to help you through. We all have a sign at our landing point, which when touched will give you the hint in local chat.

Here's my goodie below- a simplified version of Gathered Hearts. It includes a removable resize script only, not the full range of colours, but still a very sweet gift for Valentine's Day, I hope.

Find both these sets on the Marketplace here-
Eclectica Antique Hearts
Eclectica Gathered Hearts

Find them inworld here at the Eclectica mainstore in Sinaburoe.

Eclectica 'Moderno'

More texture changing Art Deco for those of you who enjoy the 1920's. 'Moderno' is a jewellery set that can be tweaked till it matches any look. The gems change as two sets to allow contrast, and the metalwork and settings are also changeable. This is a sophisticated modern design, very cleanlined with glass and chrome as suits the era.

A haircomb was needed by one of my customers (for her MVW formal outfit), so it's been added :) I have it sitting on the back of the head, but you can shift it round to wherever it's needed according to your coiffure.

There are two neckpieces, one more and one less detailed. (When designing, I often can't decide, so include several versions. It just happens sometimes.)

Haircomb detail.

The dress ring. Shown here on a Slink sculpted hand. Of course you can wear it with 'normal' hands as well.

Bracelet.

Earrings, showing some of the looks achievable.

All pieces are copy/mod. All scripts are removable. A demo pack can be picked up at the Eclectica mainstore. The jewellery can be found on the Marketplace, as can the seperate Haircomb.

Eclectica 'Harikoa'

I've been fortunate to have a few forays into New Zealand this year, and love the usage of fernleaves in design work over there. Anything from a lowly stormwater drain cover to popular civic art can display the elegant fern, often with a gorgeously decorative Maori slant. Ferns and ferniness have been playing on my mind, and so I got to sculpting some....

This is a sneak-preview of a larger range that I'm still completing, but this set will be available as a Peace On Earth hunt gift this Chrismas. It starts on the 1st of December, and continues through the month.

Harikoa- happiness...joyfulness...euphoria. This is the best word I can find to express something suitable for Christmas. There are Maori terms that borrow more directly from English to say "Merry Christmas" but I rather like this instead :)

If you do the POE Hunt this year, you will find the store...but of course pop in for a visit anytime.

Cascade

Cascade......these are four variations on a theme, each with a wide range of metal and bead textures. In all honesty, I started making pretty bead textures in Photoshop, enjoyed it a bit too much, and couldn't stop. So as often happens an idea grew a bit.

Each has six metals to choose from, which allows you anything from palest pale to black. And each has eight beads, which change as two sets, allowing you to have some fun making your favourite combinations.

Included in each is a neckpiece, dangly earrings, and a pair of bracelets. There is one removable script per piece, which also resizes. Plus copy/mod perms.

The Cascade range is available at the Eclectica Mainstore, in Sinaburoe, where you can also try a free demo pack. Or on the Marketplace.

Floral Cloches

Hats! These are an addition to the Eclectica Cloche Hats range. Despite being very floral (because where I live it's rapidly transforming into a lovely Summer, and I can't help but be inspired by that), I promise that these will keep your heads nice and snuggly warm if you have a Winter approching.

There is only one hat, because that's all you need. It is scripted to be a fatpack all by itself, so you get all the options.

And these hats include hair because I know how awful it is to have to wrestle with hair poking through where it has no business being. Five hair textures are included to get you started, and moddability means you can tint this if you need to to get it just right.

The hat, scarf, and roses can be changed independantly to make a squillion combinations (Weeeeelll, maybe not quite a squillion. I haven't counted and so made that up. But it's a fair amount, and a demo will show you exactly what to expect.)

You can be anywhere from shabby chic ivory to funereal black, and many rich vintage hues in between.

Each hat holds only one script, which is deletable. Hats are moddable and copiable, so you can save any versions you like, and even control the hues further if you are handy with the edit menu. Resizing can be done via script or manually.

This Autumnal version below can be found if you like hunting, and would like to participate in the Giving Thanks Hunt. It's on now, is a nice smallish hunt, and runs all November. I'm part-way through :)

Eclectica Floral Cloche hats have a free demo pack, which can be found at the Eclectica Mainstore in Sinaburoe. Pick them up on the Marketplace if that's more convenient.

Maya

This is "Maya"....

...strikingly Art Deco, with an authentic choice of textures. Uniquely designed and sculpted. Absolutely gorgeous gemstones.

There are two packs to choose from- the general jewellery pack, which includes two neckpieces (simpler and more complex) and two sets of earrings (simpler round ones and full-on-go-the-whole-hog geometric deco ones). The other is for those who'd like to add a few more pieces to the set, and it includes a bracelet and ring. It includes earrings to round the set out if that's all you wish to have.

These are scripted to offer all the features of a fatpack, all in one set. You can play with these for hours and save a set to match any of your favourite twenties outfits.

Come grab a demo :)

Here's the noir version, available at the Eclectica Seraph City Store....

They have a hunt on, and wonderful event called "The Blackened Mirror", centering around vintage period machinima. It's lovely stuff, so go see :)

Aunty ABC Packs it in.

This is where I was born, virtually. The place I first consciously teleported to after dodging the horrors of Welcome Island and the Freebie Dungeon.(thankyou Nexus Whitfield, who may never know that he was the first friendly face I saw, my first calling card, and I'm forever in his debt) After that I hate to see it go. I came to Second Life shortly after reading that ABC Broadcasting had funded an island. That was quite a while ago, and we have mostly all moved on, as we all had things to go do, which is right and proper, and many also moved out of SL. But many of us made connections then. Some moved away entirely. I was one who visited the sandbox every few weeks, despite having my own place, and forging my own direction, ABC was always like coming home to Mum's. Cosy and safe, but that's our Aunty.

(Spew a bit if you like, but that proves you're Aussie)

We had a lovely community thing going. And I could come rezz a few shitloads of prims for a bit, no questions asked.


This totally is not the most glamourous SL photo. ABC was never that. It wasn't pretty as such, but it was very real, and made it's people very happy.

The Sim may become unfunded, but I hope the group remains.
