Stuff

Stuffy

Seraphim hasn’t been in SL much, lately. Her human moved homes three weeks ago, a massive logistical exercise, familiar to anyone who has done so. The human has lived the last 4 years in a tiny flat in an appalling ghetto, most of its possessions were in storage, as they wouldn’t fit in the flat, or the human wanted to lessen the odds of the expensive stuff being stolen, so left it in storage. The human has moved to a fabulous place in the country, the difference is like the difference between horror and fantasy. The human is still unpacking, but finally has time to indulge Seri, again.

The first thing Seri did was, of course… go shopping! She bought this gorgeous trellis to go with a raised garden she installed a while ago…

Stuffy2

… she also bought, by the same artist, some stained glass butterflys to go in the garden, and compliment…

Stuffy3

… the wonderful stained glass hummingbird inset in the trellis…

Stuffy4

… she also bought this toilet/basin/mirror set…

Stuffy5

… to go with what she already has in her bathroom. The toilet has several animations, including peeing, peeing and reading, and, of course, vomiting…

Stuffy6

… she also wound up with pretty much the entire set of this gorgeous Victorian bedroom suite gacha, including the ultra-rare bed…

Stuffy7

… when all she’d been playing for was the lovely old paintings, of which there were three, but she just couldn’t manage to win the third one… she’ll probably have another try, as she gets kind of obsessed with things like that (:

Formal Lounge

FormalL

Seraphim has finally finished decorating the ground floor of her new home. She will, of course, continue to change, move, and replace everything here, but, for now, she’s happy she has established a basic framework. When you enter the entrance foyer, you can turn left, and you will enter the formal lounge…

FormalL2

… this lounge is filled with classic furniture/decor…

FormalL3

… it’s very elegant and sophisticated…

FormalL4

… with just the slightest touch of whimsy…

FormalL5

… this is Seraphim showing she is able to do ‘formal’.

New Project: Outside Shoot

OutSide

Seraphim finished putting the final touches to her latest still-life project, this morning. Well, it started as a still-life project, but kind of evolved into Seri making herself another home! There’s way too much detail to capture in a single shoot, so she started with shooting the outside, first…

OutSide2

… with so much time to do this project, Seri was able to really rummage through her inventory, and find lots of her old treasures…

OutSide3

… as well as spend time finding new treasures at the gacha market, and on MP…

OutSide4

… the sleeping bambi, and the lilac chainsaw were her two most expensive gacha-resale purchases, both ‘rares’, both really beautiful works of art…

OutSide5

… she’s really enjoyed this project, as always. It forced her to take a lot of stuff back into her inventory, at home, because she was getting too near the limit of her prim allotment, would not, actually, have been able to complete this build, if she hadn’t deleted/taken back, hundreds of prims. Although she really dislikes taking stuff down, it always makes her feel refreshed, it’s a good exercise in non-attachment… though there are a lot of things she simply couldn’t imagine EVER becoming non-attached to, like her 134 prim Pegasus Alteran Stargate!…

OutSide6

… Seri could happily move into this house, now…

OutSide7

… she loves it. Several things in this build, like her ‘Hungry Yule Cats’, she moved from other places on her property, one in particular, the house she built for her and Zoey, which has been almost totally unused since she built it. She’s just about worked up the determination to pull it down, as she needs to free up the prims, but, she also needs to move on…

OutSide8

… which she is, slowly, but surely, doing…

OutSide9

… so, the tour of the outside brings us…

OutSide10

… up on the back porch…

OutSide11

… to the back door. The next photo-tour will take us inside (:
