Pandume

Seraphim doesn’t have many ‘friends’, she seldom accepts ‘friend’ requests… she believes a ‘friend’ is someone who actually thinks about you, and who contacts you occasionally… who actually wants to talk to you and, even more rarely, hang out with you… if she accepts your ‘friend’ request, then you never talk to her, unless she contacts you, first, after a few months, she’ll ‘unfriend’ you, because you were never her friend, were you…

Panny

… her three closest friends are Zoey, Luna, and Pandume… these three are the friends who she actually hung out with, who actually shared stuff with her, went places with her… there was a time when the four of them were always together. Unfortunately, unlike Seraphim, who is very much a creature of disciplined routine, her friends are not, and they are often absent from SL for long periods of time, Luna and Pandume in particular. Pandume has a castle, just down the road from Seraphim, and, although Pandume has been absent from SL for months, as she does, Seraphim regularly visits her castle, just to make sure it’s still there… today, she had, literally, just walked in, when Pandume logged on!…

Panny2

… Seri was delighted to see her lovely, succubus friend, again…

Panny3

… Seri told Pandume how much the neighbourhood had changed, since she was last here, and about how she’d been coming here, regularly, all the time Pandume was gone, just to make sure it was still here, and to just be here, because she loves Pandume’s place…

Panny4

… it was so nice seeing her, again, and so trippy that she’d appeared, just as Seri walked in (:

 

Doris

doris

Seraphim is wearing ‘Doris’ hair, by Adoness…

doris2

… she recently received an Adoness ‘Blogger Pack’, with several hair styles in it, each a different colour range…

doris3

… if you know Seri, you know black, white, and pink are her favourite clothing/hair colours…

doris4

… as ‘Doris’ was the only ‘greyscale’ style, she was drawn to it, first…

doris5

… like all the Adoness hair she has tried, so far, it is nicely dramatic…

doris6

… a style for all those occasions that you don’t want to wear a beanie.

Macaria

macaria

The other Adoness hair that Seraphim bought, the other day, was this one, ‘Macaria’…

macaria2

… as with ‘Ares‘, this hair manages to blend several styles, from something that wouldn’t have looked out of place in Marie Antoinette’s court, to darkest goth, via the 50’s, this hair is not for girls who don’t want to be noticed…

macaria3

… Seraphim prefers greyscales, but this hair is available in most colours. Another wonderful thing came from Seraphim meeting Cruella Pennell at the Tannenbaum event, the other day…

macaria4

…Seraphim is now, officially, an Adoness blogger! Seri has never blogged for anyone other than herself, and is quite excited to be blogging for such an awesome brand as Adoness. She’s not quite sure exactly what this involves, being a total noob at the ‘official blogger’ thing, but it seems to her it will be a lot of fun…

macaria5a

… she adores the product, and the talent behind the product, Cruella Pennell, seems lovely, not to mention extremely clever, Seraphim would promote Adoness hair regardless…

macaria6

… she’s looking forward to embracing this new, interesting change in her life.

Eclectic Whimsy IV

WhimsyIV

This is the last instalment in the ‘Eclectic Whimsy’ series…

WhimsyIV2

… although she’s pleased with the little fantasy world she created, here, the shoot took far longer than she had intended…

WhimsyIV3

… it’s been a learning curve about the parameters of setting up such a shoot…

WhimsyIV4

… she won’t get so carried away, next time…

WhimsyIV5

… that being said, she very much enjoyed setting up this little world…

WhimsyIV6

… a world she would happily live in…

WhimsyIV7

… a world where everything is cute, adorable, beautiful and whimsical…

WhimsyIV8

… and where there is art and cleverness everywhere (:

New Hair

AdonessAresa

Seraphim was at an event, this morning, when she was drawn to a gorgeous, goth avi, with stunning hair. As she does, Seri checked the avi’s profile, so she could say hi…

AdonessAres2

… she saw that the avi was Cruella Pennell, the owner of Adoness. Whilst Seri and Cruella had a conversation, Seri TP’d to Adoness, and was blown away by the quality of the advertising art, there. She also realised she’d been here, years ago, and purchased one of her most-worn hair-styles, back in the day. She grabbed six demo’s, and zapped home to try them. Two really appealed to her, the first was this one, ‘Ares’…

AdonessAres3a

… she thinks this hair is simply fabulous. Somehow, it manages to be classical, cyber, punk, rockabilly, and Japanese, all at the same time…

AdonessAres4a1a

… she loves it.*

*Seri had to do a bit of adjustment to get this hair the way she wanted, which included using her Catwa hairbase, so the hair will look slightly different if you don’t need to use a hairbase.

Fusion

Fusion

Seraphim took time from her work on ‘Whimsical Eclectic’, to visit the Fusion sim…

Fusion2

… she found a beautiful, very Asian-themed sim…

Fusion3

… with pretty, industrial/commercial spaces…

Fusion4a

… and items by many of her favourite creators, lovingly incorporated into the general aesthetic…

Fusion5

… the whole sim has a clean, modern look/feel…

Fusion6

… with traditional elements mixed in…

Fusion7

… Seraphim particularly liked all the vintage posters…

Fusion8

… Fusion is a beautiful, elegant work.

Eclectic Whimsy

EclecticWhimsy

Seraphim feels she was both successful and unsuccessful with her latest project. She thoroughly enjoyed the several days of tinkering it took to create this scene, and she is equally pleased with the result…

EclecticWhimsy2

… however, it was her plan to then do the whole thing in one, eight shot shoot…

EclecticWhimsy3

… but she has made the whole scene so delightfully detail-rich…

EclecticWhimsy4

… that her eight-shot maximum…

EclecticWhimsy5

… barely got her in the front door…

EclecticWhimsy6

… before all the glorious detail ensnared her camera…

EclecticWhimsy7

… and she didn’t even complete shooting the first floor…

EclecticWhimsy8

… and there are two more to go!

New Project

NewProj

Seraphim is working on her next ‘still life’… her most ambitious, yet. This one involves an entire, 3-floor building! Initially, when Seri first started doing these ‘still life’ images, she was inspired by the works of people like Alexa, whose fabulous, single-shot tableaus she really admired, so she was trying to do something similar, but… this is Seri we are talking about…

NewProj2

… the girl LOVES serial imagery, she simply couldn’t contain herself within the single-picture format. Now, with this latest work, she has found she is seriously stretching the initial format parameters…

NewProj3

… this latest work is going to be more like a single-shot camera pan, than a single shot image. Seri is very much enjoying creating these works, and hopes you are enjoying seeing them (:
