Selling Prints

Well folks, I am going out on a limb here and seeing if there is any interest in art I have created through Second Life.  I was recently invited to a group on Flickr where SL photographers are encouraged to sell their art through a site called ArtPal.  I have decided to give it a shot since I could really use the income :-p

So for anyone that might be interested, select works will be available for purchase in various forms at http://www.artpal.com/katanya/

Most  of these items were gacha goodies that Miss K gave me from the Fantasy Gacha Carnival.  I found the henna at an event called The Thrift Shop.  I was lucky enough to get a modify version of my shape from the store owner, since it was originally a gacha goodie too.

Thank you very much for letting me post here Miss K, and to everyone that looks at my outfits and likes them!  I hope I did everything right on this post :-)

Guest Blogger

For those of you that saw the pictures I posted of my friend here on the blog, you already know I have been helping someone out with styling tips and learning SL.  I think she is starting to pick some things up on her own, so I am going to let her start contributing to the blog.  For now her pictures with the posts will probably just be those artistic ones I have done for her, but I will see if I can find time to get the detail shots of her also.  I will also do what I can to teach her about the basics of SL photography, so she can start doing things herself =)

So everyone please welcome Nasrin Nejem to JPDU!  I look forward to seeing her post here.

By the way, you can follow her little journey through SL at her journal, Nasrin's Tale.

Desert Rose

Inspiration

I have always loved belly dance, and this lovely set was a great inspiration for a more traditional costume.  It's actually nice to see something more modest for dancers, yet still sexy, and there were some really great accessories to pair with it from other creators.

My apologies

I'm sorry everyone that I never announced a break from blogging, but it seems I needed a bit of one.  Things have been a bit trying in real life, and I haven't been feeling too well.  I am going to try to get a few posts up this coming week, not just because I have sponsors with work to put out, but because I like sharing with all of you.

On the sponsor front, I am so proud and excited to tell you all that I have been accepted as a blogger for one of my absolute favorite stores, Dysfunctional Designs!  They have such lovely furniture, buildings, and such.  I can't wait to show you their awesome creativity...at super low prim!
