An Art Hive is a community art studio that welcomes everyone as an artist. From an art pop-up in a local library to a community studio or gallery, at its heart, an Art Hive is about inclusion, respect and learning. It's a welcoming place to talk, make art and build communities. Responding in creative ways to things that matter.

i'm taking a break from creating kitchen things and temporarily am researching a Materia Medica for use in Tribulations. this research will be the basis of creating a digital version for use in the apothecary within Thornridge, mortal village of Tribulations.

I still have the cookware to finish, scrap can, garbage cab, outdoor scrap can and garbage to do -- too much scripting atm. lol

The image is the new completed pond for drinking, bathing, fishing, gathering of nearby berries and honeysuckle and watering the livestock. The HUD will track effects from the very cold water. The pond will have options of growing or harboring various additions that will aid, harm or be neutral effects on the players.

READING THE MANUALS ON THE BOARDS IS A MUST, they contain important information about Solmara, the private parcels, the rules, and how everything works, please take a few moments to read them before exploring,

And of course, once a week the beach comes alive with music, dancing and good vibes with DJ NYLA, turn up the music, hit the dance floor, bring your friends and let the island do the rest,
