poinsettia

Hi, I’m Seraphim. I blog for adoness hair, I’m wearing ‘poinsettia’ (pink & purple). Cruella Pennell makes fabulous hair (:

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.

Leaving The Hood

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.

Storybook

Seraphim visited Storybook, today. There was a ton of cuteness…

… plenty to warm your heart…

… and lots of wonderful, Disney-like scenery…

… idyllic forest paths…

… leading to…

… some beautiful meadows…

… where a girl can…

… think about stuff.

Montlaur Cafe

Seraphim saw in Veyot’s post, that the Last Drop Cafe, in Montlaur, had some interesting looking artwork in it, so she zapped over for a look..

… she loved the trippy perspective created by the trompe l’oeil, on the wall, and loved the 50’s feel of the decor…

… the collage works were as good as she’d thought they looked…

… she particularly liked this one.

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.

A Girl and Her BunBuns WIP’s 3&4

The painting is now at the ‘many tiny details’ stage. You have to look at one character, then look at the same character in the previous WIP, to really see how much they have progressed. The most new work in on Seraphim, from her skirt up, on the bunbun on the stool, and on the stool. The bunbun at Seri’s feet has had a bit of work, but the least of all the characters.

A Girl and Her BunBuns WIP’s 2&3

Seraphim is still beavering away at her latest painting, hasn’t really hit her stride on this one, yet, but is determined to finish it.

Return to Wyrd

Seraphim went back to the cafe she decorated for Veyot, the Last Drop Cafe in Wyrd. She hasn’t been back here for months, lots has changed for her, in that time. She was delighted to see how much the neighbourhood has changed, the ugly, intrusive builds gone, and a far more tranquil, rural vibe, happening. The front of the cafe had also been nicely landscaped…

… walking in, she was even more delighted! She’d forgotten how much time/effort she’d spent on this installation, and how much she really loved the result…

… she had literally forgotten some of the last changes she’d made, here, and seeing them, and being reminded, was like having her heart cuddled…

… she’d put a lot of thought/effort into creating this particular, eclectic/cool/cute decor…

… and it was really lovely to see, after months away, she still felt she’d nailed the look…

… there are many of Seri’s treasures, here. Something she loves about these type of installations, is she can take stuff out of her inventory, and display it, without it effecting her home prim count…

… she has always enjoyed…

… the challenges of…

… shooting in this tiny space (:
