Starlight for the Faes

Do You like faes and faeries? My region is named Ithil Dae, which means Moonshadow so I made these lovely faeries who come out to play in the full moonlighted nights.
I'm not a skinmaker but I downloaded free skintemplates here and I used photoshop to alter them. In this case I colored the skin in soft shades of blue and green and I added some moon and star tattoos. The most difficult task was to color the headpart so it would match the upperbody template without a seam showing. How fortunate uploading is without costs in Inworldz ;-)

I dressed my faery in a pink top and skirt, a groupgift from Avene, a shop for full perm skin and clothes templates.

Wings and ballerinas are part of the Nim Fairy outfit, a freebie from Simply Fae. The dress that goes with them is very beautiful but didn't show enough skin for my purpose. Check out Simply Fae though, one of the best shops in Inworldz for Elf, Faery and Pixi outfits.

The ears are actually neko ears from a sculpt package from Arcane, but I do think they do well disguised as faery ears.

I put the Starlight skin, shape and faery ears as a gift in my shop and on the freebiewall in ElvenSong.
Enjoy :)

The gateway to your soul

This is the female base starter skin from Pixelicious Designs. Very basic indeed so we'll have to dress her up.
The brows already have a lovely and detailed shape. So this is good "claymud" to play with.

I'm a big fan of add on's. I used a make up from Cinnamon Girl (not free but cheap) a shop with good affordable skins and tons of  make ups. Shape and primlashes are from London Core (both dollarbies).























Mystery with surname -the gateway to your soul - is a large and very pleasant shop to visit. All areas are tastefully designed and decorated. It feels like the shopowner/creator was thinking carefully as where to place every item. In other words .. this shop is eyecandy :).

Would you believe it? but this lovely dress is a freebie. It comes with the shoes and flowered belt and arm decoration. (The shoes alone are worth the visit :)
The shop has spaces for ladies and gents (skins, shapes, clothes), for plants and flowers and for cute gift items. Very handy if you need a present for a friend or just want to treat yourself.

 

I just couldn't resist to do myself a favor with this adorable pluche cow (not free!)

Neko or Costume party?

Neko shops have been the common theme running through my previous post so lets go all the way.
Today is all about this sweet or not so sweet kittycat in pink. A free variation on Catwoman, my beloved heroin.
This outfit "Pretty in Punk" I found in a grunge shop with the impossible name ViRTuaL ATTIRE from CHAOS to COUTURE. I already blogged "My Black Jumper" from this shop.
The cute neko ears and tail are from Bitch Tail. The tail is scripted and wiggles once in a while.
The boots are part of the freebie outfit "Be Mine" (Muse) I picked it up at one of the freebieplaces a while ago. I took the Freebie-Places-Tour, using the explorerhud, but can't find them again :(.

The sweet curled hair is a hunt item from Alli and Ali's (see previous post). I added a bit of pink.

This shop is like a growing habit but .. the shape and skin - Kyoko - are from Jill's Studio.
I got them by hitting the Lucky Mini Mania board. You'll need to be a groupmember to enter the board. but it's worth a try!
The skin (all tones) and shape come with additions; eyeliner, blush and freckles. And with skin appliers Evolve, but I never get them to work for me. I touch the hud and nothing happens.. is this just me?
Kyoko is a skin with character, in my opinion it's "calculated innocence". I tried to make a stronger impression by adding these long long, did I mention long? lashes, a gift from Venus.

Alli's candy and more sweets

Sometimes I visit shops out of habit, see if there's something new or just because I like the place.
Alli and Ali is one of them. I found out there's a hunt going on (one I didn't notice earlier).

It's very rewarding to do the hunt !

This is one of the hairs I won, I dyed  it a bit of brown, so it would fit the outfit I'm wearing. The original color is Raspberry. Nothing wrong with that color either :)
Shape and skin are Jill's. Jill has a new shop (larger and revamped) and I didn't find the groupgifts (yet). But there's mini mania, midnight mania and letterboards.
The collar and bracelet I found @ a neko shop named Eva Lou Creation. Lot's of goodies there, such as free gestures and partystuff and also five luckyletter chairs. If you love Neko go and check it out.

The mesh dress I wear is a freebie from Bitch Tail, this link is to the shop's blog. I matched the dress with a legging that's part of a (neko) outfit from Sweets! The ankle-high boots are a groupgift from Deviant Designs.

All things come and go, nothing is forever

I started this blog for fun and because I wondered if I could manage to start a nice avatar build on freebies.
During my sl -time I had a friend who almost had a days job to find the nicest free outfits and sending weekly notecards with pictures and landmarks about them. 
I remember, as a creator, I was thrilled if my items were blogged in Fabulous Free. 
I find Inworldz creators very generous. Besides the well known freebieplaces, just walk around in a mall and there's almost always a nice "catch".  
My blogposts are temporary though.
Shops come and go or move. Groupgifts are replaced or just taken away. Items that were free one day have a price the next day. That's how things goes and it's all up to the creator or shopkeeper and that is how it should be. Change is a good thing or we'll get bored.
So if you are working back thru my blogposts they might give you an outdated feel in some cases. I'm not going to check them ;-). I still think they give a nice impression of possibilities being a little bit creative and show the craftmanship of Inworldz designers. 
So if you make that click to visit a shop and don't find what you were looking for, relax and have a look around. Maybe you'll make other pleasant discoveries. (And if you do tell ME about them ;-))

Peek A Boo ;)

Forgive me if I use some free items again in new posts but I think mix- and matching is most interesting.

This outfit is named Peek a Boo from a shop named Butterfly Kisses (lovely name btw.)  Peek a Boo because it shows some belly and a tiny piece of the butt.
Seeing this outfit on the sellbox didn't make me enthousiastic at once but while wearing it looks so incredibly CUTE. The wrinkles are in the right places and give "substance".
The quality of this work is very good and I would buy from this creator without any doubts.
Add some wings and this also would make a great pixie outfit.

The shape is again from "Jill". Firm sexy body and thighs and a very feminine pronounced butt.

Skins just look different on different shapes. I always try demos before buying a skin. Sometimes I make pictures wearing different skins and look at them together to see which one looks best.This skin is also "Jill" and the latest groupgift. The shape that comes with the skin is a good one but today I used the shape that came with a Kazumi-skin (not a freebie).
I modded the shape a bit, I remember making her head a bit smaller.
I freckled the face with an add on and gave her smokey eyes. The hair is a free ponytail from Destiny.   





High heeled killer pumps "Gretchen" are a groupgift from Deviant Designs. Comes with a hud to color the skin and/ or retexture the pumps. I added (how appropiate) a delicate silver butterfly anklet.
