UAC Medieval Faire 2016 - Part One

The UAC Medieval Faire began this weekend. If you aren't familiar with what I'm talking about, see my previous blog post here:Press Release: 2nd Annual Medieval Faire and get caught up! I myself am a bit late, as I had so much going on leading up to the event, I barely had time to stop and breathe..so we can all just be behind together.

Today I am blogging the offerings from Beyond Persuasion and Kaerri.

Beyond Persuasion has two dresses; Berengaria and Isabella...but for the purposes of this blog (and to lead you to the Faire to go look for yourself!) I am only showing you Isabella. I thought the soft tones of the dress fit in nicely in the cloister, although on second glance perhaps wearing a hood would have worked far better, as I seem to recall women didn't go into holy areas with their heads uncovered! Oops.

The cloister Kaerri has created offers a chance at building your own calm, peaceful garden reminiscent of the medieval gardens one would expect to see at a church or perhaps at a nunnery. With a nice bench to settle on and contemplate the world while listening to the soft babble of the fountain behind you, it gives a quiet atmosphere for further reflection, or just to simply drink in the silence.

I will have my part two of this up later on, so check back...but in the meantime, click here: UAC Medieval Faire to head down to the faire and see these items for yourself!

A Selfish Post? Maybe.

Today I am sharing an image I took this past week of an outfit and some ankle boots I worked on as I try to recreate my store, and actually do something I can only hope is worthwhile on some level.

It's been a challenge to fit in working on the store while also working on an SL wedding (not mine, I assure you) and working with an SL modeling agency as the Executive Assistant/landscaper/all around pain in the arse.

Add to that the fact that my leg is screwing up again (I'm trying my damnedest to avoid another hospital stay) and I've been medicating and lying in bed a lot, the challenge is even greater.

Fun times.

At any rate, I have made the effort to drag myself out of the bed and make a post here at 8:00AM, and then I'll try to get into SL for the first time in a couple of days (I think, I've lost track of time) and push myself back into more creating and catching up on any work I've fallen behind on.

The outfit I made comes in five colors, and is already up for sale in world (I still have to do the marketplace links. Ugh), but I have put up a blog post here [I really need to find a blogger for this store blog, I can't keep up with this and everything else I do]  that shows the vendor ads for each color. I called it Cozy Days, because I am terrible with naming stuff. The ankle boots are for SLink high feet, and they come in 12 different colors. I named then Jen boots, after a friend. They know who they are, most likely.

The image on this post will only show the Blue/Grey colored outfit in Cozy Days, as well as the Rain version of the Jen boots.



As an aside, I added the shadow on the ground via Photoshop, using a tutorial from Daeberethwen Arbenlow, which you can watch here.

...though I admit I had to make a duplicate layer of my image and erase everything around the body to do it, and I still need to polish up on making shadows better, but everyone has to start somewhere. (Thanks to Dae for making the video!)
