I designed and copyrighted the "Peace for Ukraine" pendant with the intention of it being worn in real life (RL). I've received numerous requests for the STL, DAE, and OBJ files to enable 3D printing and wearable reproduction. To address this, I've dedicated time to enhance Monentes Jewelry Downloads page. You can now conveniently download the files directly to your hard drive and employ them as desired. Please bear in mind that the design is copyrighted, and it is imperative that it is never used for commercial purposes or sold. You will find the download link on this page: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte... it is listed under Pendants.

I will be adding more jewelry here as I can.

Thank you for all your support!

I have rebranded the grid to Three Hills Grid. When we first named the grid we thought to name it after the magazine and since then, I have seen another grid named Virtual Grid, so as to eliminate any confusion I thought it would be best to rename it. I have always thought of Black Hills Gold as Three Hills Gold (the trio color of the gold) so naming it Three Hills Grid seemed right. The virtual-hg.com address is the same, I may also change that in the future. https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php

While the heart and soul of Virtual-HG magazine remain unchanged, this rebranding is a testament to my profound passion for crafting intricate jewelry pieces.

I have often been asked where is it that I get my inspiration from. Creating jewelry now since 2012 you would think I would run out of ideas. I get inspiration from silhouettes, I extract the curves. I wrote this to show a bit of how it is done. https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

@FerdFrederix suggests "If you were to become a bug, you could do so by wearing an avatar that would allow you to experience the world from a bug's perspective. Imagine visiting a garden where everything is to scale, and you could truly be the bug. You would be able to explore this miniature world, see the intricacies of the plants and flowers, and feel the wind blowing through the grass virtually. You could crawl through tunnels and crevices, and even fly to new heights. Being a bug could give you a whole new appreciation for the world around you and the creatures that inhabit it." this is precisely why I adore Fred. Be the Bug!! We have great bug avatars for you to wear and keep!


Thank YOU, Ferd!!! three.hills.grid.outworldz.net:8002:Goliath Gardens

This picture was taken inworld so it isn't the best but these earrings were created just a bit differently than I normally create. I worked with both Photoshop and Rhinogold to create these then assembled inworld combining the parts. Photoshop has a great 3d editor where you can load images and in seconds turn them into 3d. I have an article here: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/2020/05/how-to-create-3d... These are in the shop. virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

Many have asked, "Where is it that Mari creates?" "Where is her studio?" It is no secret that Mari resides in a little cottage in Xanth. It is always open for you to visit. Mari works here most days so I am sure you will see her here working. Please stop by anytime https://youtu.be/H3DRTQUpMS8

Thank you Ferd for the inspiration and magic!

Deep in the heart of a majestic mountain wilderness lies a floating mountain that defies all known laws of gravity and physics. It hovers above the rugged terrain, seemingly suspended in mid-air, and captivates the imagination of all who lay eyes upon it. virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

My friends in SL wanted me to upload jewelry for them so I went in and tried to load these, they cost 98L for the upload, and when they do upload they are huge! and you cannot reduce them down to fit the avatar, they are thick and ugly! I would first have to make them nano (more work plus the cost of upload) So I came back to OpenSim and uploaded them for FREE, which means I can give them FREE! And they are not thick and big or ugly they loaded just the way I created them. All yours in the Monentes store foyer! virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I'm sorry I have to share the news that Flynn Sheridan passed away over the weekend. Many of our friends know that he was fighting a decade long battle with cancer. Please remember him with joy and happiness. Surf a wave in his honor and consider supporting RFL. Love to you all.

RIP Flynn https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

It has been a while since I created Ear Climbers. This is a second set that I have created and since they are so fun to create I will be adding more to the collection.Please find these in the foyer of Monentes Jewelry-virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

I love challenges, but my recent review mentioned that my belly button rings are not rigged for Athena. Athena is not a standard avatar shape so when rigging with Avastar it isn't quite right. My belly button rings are meant to attach to the belly for standard shapes. I just added a new Peace sign belly button ring that attaches to the standard avatar belly. I never say never, but this time I am - I don't want to take a ripped rig into blender to please my critics.

In the heart of a breathtaking mountain wilderness lies an observatory perched atop a floating mountain, offering unobstructed views of the stunning landscape and vast sky. "Reach for the Stars" virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm Free gifts at the landing

I had a request by @LeonitasLionheart asking if the Nadder (Cobra) snake could be given too. We have made it available in both the Goliath size (for those wanting a Goliath sim-we plan to give this OAR when completed) I have also included the regular-sized snake for a normal sim. There is a Snake AO that you can wear to animate and the animations are also included so that you can also create Animesh snakes, there is an Animesh kit here too with everything you need. Thank you, Ferd for making this possible!!

Walking through the streets of Birch Grove during Pride month is like stepping into a vivid dreamscape. Rainbow flags sway in harmony with the breeze, adorning storefronts and lamp posts.

I found a really cute ladybug that he helped to animate and for the last two days, I have been carving out a bug paradise where everything is to scale if you were a bug. I have free avatars that Fred gave us, his Rat, Blue Bird, and I am giving the ladybug so that you can experience the garden too. Please make sure you wear the avatars while visiting the 3x3 Region Goliath Gardens I will be adding new avatars too, I found a great praying mantis!!
