The Tree of Life is a symbol that can be found in many cultures and religions throughout history. At its core, the tree represents growth, strength, and connection to all things. Its roots anchor it firmly in the earth, while its branches reach upwards towards the sky, embodying the idea of balance and harmony. The Tree of Life is also often associated with wisdom, knowledge, and enlightenment, as it symbolizes the cycle of life and the interconnectedness of all living things. Overall, the Tree of Life is a powerful symbol of the beauty and resilience of nature, as well as the eternal cycle of growth, death, and rebirth.

Please find the pendant on the little table in the foyer.

A simple shift for Spring, seen at the back of the Monentes Jewelry store in a new shop called Classic Closet for the Classic Avatar, my clothes fit the standard SL Classic Avatar. "Classic is something that stands the test of time and endures through generations." virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

New mesh outfit that I personally created. The top and skirt were created in Blender with a great addon that I will be sharing with you soon. Rigged and ready to go! Can be seen at the Classic Closet at the Monentes store.

To celebrate Japan's Emperor's Birthday-2-23-2023 yesterday I created a pair of Japanese Shoes for anyone who would like a pair they can be found at Classic Closet at the Monentes Jewelry store. virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

It is not quite springtime with a nip of chill still in the air so I thought I would create a Fur Stole to keep me warm till springtime. If you would like one please find it in the Classic Closet at VHG

St. Patrick's day will soon be here! I created this prim skirt for those who wish to wear prims. This is two skirts each with 24 panels. I wore it and did not lag but I would not suggest wearing it if you have lots of other attachments too as it will cause your LOD to go up. You can find this in the Monentes Jewelry store in the new Classic Closet section. Please feel free to texture it and use it any way you wish. Free to give, you may also create outfits using this. If you want your name on as the creator there is a little center ball you can edit. That is fine. Many thanks to Copyright (c) 2007 Dalien Talbot, and a few other folks thanks to whom this skirt rezzer script exists: Loop Rez by Ged Larson 2006 I put out a box with the skirt rezzer, scripts and info manual. You can create your own prims for the skirt panels, mine is a cylinder that has been hollowed with a nice path cut. Experiment with your own panels.

I created this CatWalk venue and offered this at the end of summer. I thought it would be nice to offer it again to anyone who has a need for a CatWalk it is free to copy. I found many of the parts at Sketchfab, and built it the best I could. Please feel free to mod it and use it any way you like. It is a complete venue with tables too. It is at the Monentes Store in the foyer.

I added greeting cards to the Monentes Jewelry store foyer. I will update these often so there will always be something new. The card given opens by touching it, the card on display is just to show you what the card is. It is not the actual card.

My jewelry designs are inspired by the thoughts and sentiments of you, my friends. Your support, encouragement, and enthusiasm fuel my creative ideas and help me to create beautiful and timeless pieces. I love hearing your stories and seeing how my designs can be a part of your virtual lives. I also create in the Real. It's incredibly fulfilling to see you wearing my jewelry and feeling proud of your choice, thank you. In the end, it's not just about the jewelry, but about the relationship I have with you and the joy that we both share when you find that perfect piece.
I have had requests to create heirlooms to be worn virtually, I cherish this, thank you.
So many people ask me, why is it that I don't create in Second Life anymore? The last time I tried uploading in SL some of my pieces cost 300L to upload. They have the testing region to check jewelry prior to upload which helped but for me, my pieces never uploaded the size I created them. They loaded huge and distorted, whereas here in Opensim all upload the exact size I create it in my RhinoGold studio. It is why I am here, easier workflow it is that simple. Firestorm has updated the Mesh Uploader so that you can now "preview" your mesh inworld in SL called "Local Mesh" which allows you to preview your mesh creations inworld and see edits you make to the mesh dae file in real-time prior to uploading which will save lindens. I will give it a try again and see if I get better results. Until then you are stuck with me, I love Opensim and the friends I have made here, thank you for your support!

When you learn to create it is a form of self-expression and a way to explore your creativity and imagination. It is an opportunity to bring ideas to life. It gives a chance to develop problem-solving skills and a journey of discovery.
You learn to discover your own passions which then leads to more creation and development. This helps to establish accomplishment and self-worth, and a means of connecting with others.

Creative philanthropy is a great way to make a positive impact in the world. Sharing art, music, and stories that inspire people to take action and make a difference. Be the positive change you desire through creation. https://virtual-hg.com/Jopensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

Season's Greetings to all my friends, when I think of the new year I like to think of it as the beginning of a new novel and the first day is the first page~ Let's create a novel of good deeds and good wishes for a prosperous new year for everyone. Let's not "Hit On" people to use them for our needs instead let's prop them up and collaborate together as a team.

Winter Solstice Solitaire-the advent calendar comes to mind. I have really enjoyed creating 25 new items for the Advent calendar. I also enjoy the messages I am receiving too! The charm bracelet may be difficult for some to assemble, but no worries I have one assembled for you, please ask I will pass it to you. Thank you everyone this has been lots of fun!

I had a few requests for the Peace for Ukraine pendant - they wanted to 3d print it and wear it in the real world. This is a good idea because I was manufacturing these to sell but 3d printing is much more reasonably priced. What cost me 800 USD to manufacture you can get similar quality at Shapeways or Sculpteo for 50 USD or less depending on the materials you use. So I decided to make the .dae file reasonably priced so that you can have it 3d printed as you wish and wear it in the real world. You can also upload it inworld and wear it too. I had one printed at Sculpteo and they did a fantastic job. https://mmonentes.artstation.com/store

I was just asked how did I create glasses, this is a video I did while back https://youtu.be/iVPiH4ptMlw basically I use silhouettes then extract the curves, then extrude. This is using Rhino Software but it is the same in Blender, you would extract curves from an image then extrude them. Thank you for your interest!

Claddagh rings consist of a heart with a crown held by two hands symbolizing love, loyalty and friendship. Please find yours in the Monentes Jewelry store foyer~ continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I added new necklaces to the store this morning. Will be adding more new jewelry this week as time allows. I noticed on my sunflower necklace the back of the flower looks invisible, I apologize for that I tried several methods to get it to appear solid and none worked. Like, Solidify Modifier and also I flipped normals. This is a new technique I tried using an image, I will keep working at it to make it solid and release an updated version! Please find new necklaces in the foyer. continuum.outworldz.net:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Monentes Jewelry created exclusively by me, Marianna Monentes. I add new pieces each week, thank you for all your support. Many ask wth are you not selling in Second Life, I did sell there for two years, was nominated for an Avi Choice award, once you try opensim though, it is home. It feels like country club living at its finest you cannot put a price on that. The opensim community deserves nice things too from an original creator. Not all SL creators were afraid to try opensim. Jewelry is free/full perms. https://avichoiceawards.com/about/history-of-the-acas/2015...
