Gallery No.8

Seraphim visited Gallery No.8, the other day…

… a bright, spacious gallery, filled with colourful kaleidoscopic images…

… Seraphim used to make similar kinds of work, and still finds this type of image interesting…

… there’s a little shop that seemed to be selling SL, as well as RL, products…

… there were some cosy little galleries, upstairs, which had different styles of art by the same artist who made the kaleidoscopic ones…

… Seraphim was smitten with one, and now she has her own.

Fun Day

Seraphim was in a frivolous mood, this morning. She decided to go to Katat0nik, somewhere she’s not been for a long time, but one of her all-time fave SL creators, from way back. After looking to see what was new, she found a gacha she’d not seen/noticed, before… it was for ‘Happy Kitty Dolls’. There were 3 ‘rares’, one of which was red, and was the one she liked most. She put in L$50… and won the red rare! First shot! This often happens to her, but it’s still, always, an absolute delight when it does! With her new happy kitty snuggled in the crook of her arm, she decided to go shopping, another thing she’s neglected, lately…

… she checked the sales and went and bought some excellent, cheap hair, two, to be precise, one with a ‘cat’ beanie, and the fabulous ‘big’ hair she has on, above. She decided she needed a gold tiara to match her mood, so bought one of those, too! Then she took her kitty pal to The Coasters Club

… a sim with wonderful, minimal scenery, and wide, shallow, empty ocean vistas…

… ‘please don’t drop me…’ her kitty meowed…

… ‘I absolutely will not, sweetheart’ she replied…

… when they got home, her new kitty instantly adopted one of Seri’s mannequins as his new safe place.

Trilby The Pixie

Seraphim visited the Peace Is A Choice Gallery, last evening…

… there are lots of sculptures, both kinetic and static…

… lots of particle effects…

… some more interactive than others in their behaviour…

… but it was this photo ‘Trilby The Pixie’ that Seri had come here for. She’d seen it in a post on Annie Oh’s destination guide, and been instantly smitten…

… now, Trilby The Pixie smiles her blissful smile on the wall, upstairs at Seri’s place (:

Garden of Eden

Following a suggestion from Kyllerdurden, who had obviously seen her blog, Seraphim visited ‘Garden of Eden‘, last evening…

… while she was waiting for things to rez, Adelina (adelinalawrence), the sim’s creator, greeted her, and they had a brief chat before Seri went off to explore… Adelina was a sweet host… she explained that Garden of Eden was still under construction, but it looked pretty complete to Seri…

… there is lots to see, here, plenty of pretty places for photography…

… forest paths…

… the sky is filled with interesting things, like islands, and dragons, and balloons…

… there are little glades, and vast panoramas…

… well worth a visit.

The 22 Art Space in Bellisseria

Seraphim visited The 22 Art Space in Bellisseria, today. The gallery is a converted house in a frighteningly suburban neighbourhood… Seri was surprised such a surreal suburbia didn’t have a covenant preventing houses being converted to galleries, but glad it didn’t, because the gallery is a lovely space. There are several excellent works in the current retrospective exhibition…

… beautifully displayed in the space…

… the views out the windows were like surreal-realist works of art, in themselves…

… with their impossible suburban utopia views…

… the whole space made for very enjoyable shooting…

… beautiful art in beautiful surroundings…

… Seraphim was impressed.

Bellezzamora

Seraphim visited Bellezzamora, last evening…

… she was straight away crippled by lag/slow rez time. When things did finally rez, moving amongst them was very frustrating. She tended to just wait till the place was rezzed, then just stand where she was, and pan around…

… she had seen Bellezzamora advertised as a place of ‘opulence and grandeur’, that housed some kind of fabulous art collection…

… the very British/colonial opulence/grandeur was immediately apparent, and quite beautiful…

… Seraphim has never seen this particular building, before, that she can recall, or even it’s components, really… so it was lovely to see something so stunning, but also for the first time…

… if the grounds were any indication of it’s grandiose opulence, Seri was looking forward to seeing the mystery art collection…

… unfortunately, by the time she made it through the lag swamp, to the front door, she’d decided to come back another time.
