Have you been to Hair Fair??
You must go! It is so much fun, and there are loads of freebies.
Check out this free gift hair from Analog Dog! Analog Dog (Queue Marlowe) is one of my favorite hair designers, and I was thrilled to get this gift at the Hair Fair.
Another one of my favorite designers is Sheltered Heart of Bewitched Hair and HOH (House of Hair). Check out this free gift from her Hair Fair stall!
The cute white cotton sleeveless blouse is also a Hair Fair Gift from Rha!. There are many, many more free gifts, and loads of great hair to purchase - with part of the profits going to Locks of Love. Don't forget to purchase a bandana ($L50) to wear on bandana day.
So, if I haven't been blogging much lately about my own Second Life business, it's because I've been too busy shopping for freebies.
There are several good SL freebie blogs out in cyberspace, but my favorite is: http://fabfree.wordpress.com/. Check it out! Also, join the Fabulously Free in SL group to get notified in-world of freebies and treasure hunts. Treasure hunts are the best, they are so much fun.
Mona Lisa's Fine Art - Quarterly Report
Speaking of my little business; it's thriving, and making a small profit. My goal is to support myself in SL with my business, so in order to do that I need to make a profit of $L750 per week. I'm a long way from that! At this point I'm bringing in about $L300/week. Stop by my shop and say hello! I'm at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Miles%20Island/103/88/24, or search for merchant Lanie Recreant on Second Life Exchange or OnRez. Pick up a free gift at the shop, or check out my free items on SLex and OnRez. We sell Framed Fine Art, and we're the exclusive reseller of Brick House Shapes (designed by my RL daughter, Darya DeCosta). Here is a pic of Darya, at our favorite hangout, October Country (http://slurl.com/secondlife/October%20Country/218/223/22).
I've learned to make privacy screens and rugs, and I'm starting - just starting - to learn to make clothes, using the tutorials at Natalia Zelmanov's http://www.mermaiddiaries.com/.
I am working on a tutorial called 'How to Make Your Own Art in Second Life'. I hope to have it posted before the end of the day Sept. 1.
If you are reading this blog, please leave me a comment, just to let me know you are there!
Love,
Lanie
P.S. The blouse in my author photo was purchased from Sam's Secret. Isn't it beautiful? The hair is from Analog Dog.
