We added a fun page to Virtual-HG.com Ferd Frederix Bullshit News. Ferd is bringing back to life a paper he and Debbie Edwards published: https://outworldz.com/News/ You can see the new edition of Bullshit News at VHG.com on its own page: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte... In times like these a bit of humor is called for!! Enjoy the day today, thank you for all your support!

I apologize if it seems I am spamming you guys, but this creator adsky_pes at Sketchfab caused it by creating this Phenomenal Victorian Pocket watch that I have animated to open and close and it is on a chain that you hold. I have other chains around the store too if you want to wear it. There is a resize script and touch to open and close. If you add a chain make sure the watch is linked last as it is the parent prim. https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/vintage-pocket-watch-2e606... I promise this is my last post today!!

A new square link neck chain so that you can add the different pendants I create, or just wear it as it is. Gold or Silver - change by touching the chain.

I added an OSG Telescope to SkyRealm Observatory. An OSG (Observing System for the Globe) Telescope is a specialized instrument used for observing celestial bodies such as stars, planets, and galaxies. It is equipped with advanced technology that enables it to capture and transmit high-quality images and data about these objects.

One of the features of the OSG Telescope is its ability to be connected to a PC viewing screen. This allows the images and data captured by the telescope to be viewed and analyzed on a computer in real-time.

The PC viewing screen is typically connected to the telescope through a data cable or wireless connection. The screen displays a live feed of the images and data captured by the telescope, which can be analyzed by astronomers and researchers for scientific purposes.

This technology has revolutionized the way astronomers and researchers study the cosmos, as it allows for detailed and real-time observation of celestial objects. It also allows for remote observation, where the telescope can be operated from a different location than the observer.

Overall, the OSG Telescope equipped with a PC viewing screen is a powerful tool for studying the universe and advancing our understanding of the cosmos. Please stop by anytime! virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm

All the lockets are in the store now. I will make more soon because they are so fun to create. Look in the foyer on the little table. Thank you to Aloria and Fred you both gave me such an excellent challenge, it was fun! I have other chains too around the store you can add instead of the pearl chain. If you do please make sure the locket is linked last as this is the parent prim. If you would like to know how to make a locket that open and closes please read here: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...

@Aloria came by with a special request which I always love a good challenge. On her list was a Locket that could be opened when touched. I created a Love Locket that can be opened by touch thanks to @FerdFrederix tips! I still have some fine-tuning yet to do but it should be out later this week. I created three lockets, Cameo, Celtic Heart, and Love Locket. The image has a texture-changing script so that you can add the images to the contents of the image prim, that way you can select different images. If you would like to create your own locket that opens and closes I wrote a bit of info on how to here: https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte... the lockets will be out soon~

I had a request this morning asking me to make a ring for the Divas! Which made me smile, I do love the Divas!! This is the ultimate in cocktail rings, have a nice day today~virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

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.

SkyRealm Observatory is a work in progress-please stop by anytime and see the transformation of this observatory. We are making progress, thank you to @FerdFrederix just wow! Also @JamieAnnaWright thank you for contributing to my clock collection!

virtual-hg.com:8002/SkyRealm/447/381/56

Thank you @FredBeckhusen for lending me a hand with the SkyRealm Observatory! Fred finished up the major parts of the OAR tonight and when creating the sim, I loved Darkness Papp's Rivendell surround and landscaping and thought the Observatory would fit nicely there, so I merged the two and did a bit of arranging to combine the two. I still have tweaking to do but we are getting closer~Thank you!!

Skyrealm Observatory is a work in progress. @FerdFrederix is giving me a hand with building this project. I showed him my Observatory Model and he explained it could be greatly improved with Blender modifiers like the edge modifier. It will take some time to complete it is a huge build. Thank you, Ferd for teaching me about the blender modifiers and what can be achieved, just wow!

@RhysTaylor is a brilliant astronomer whom I recently interviewed. Imagine being able to ask any question you would like about the cosmos, yes I did ask about ET
https://virtual-hg.com/JOpensim/index.php?option=com_conte...
My hope is one day he will build an Observatory here in Opensim and share with us all that he has learned.

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.

Thank you @CuteulalaArtis I appreciated the help today setting up your excellent red coaster on our Catena di isole beach. Please stop by anytime and ride this great coaster it is thrilling! You have a great view riding it with nice photo opportunities!

As promised I wrote a tutorial on what I use to create 3d clothing. Whenever I learn something I have always been open and shared it with anyone who asked and also through tutorials seen at Hypergrid Business: https://www.hypergridbusiness.com/author/marianna-monentes...

This helps to build a supportive and collaborative community where everyone can learn and grow together. Sharing knowledge and skills can lead to new ideas, innovations, and collaborations, which can benefit everyone involved. I know this, I hope you know it too.

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.

Classic Closet new outfit Mesh Denim Shift with Leather Belt-Turquoise Blossom Necklace. Pair this with nice cowboy boots and a hat! Please read the terms enclosed.

Thank you Juno Rowland sister of Jupiter for coming by and giving me suggestions on my newly created content. I had several mistakes that needed to be corrected and the help she gave was immeasurable. Even though I try to catch the mistakes and I double triple-check, I still find them so thank you very much for checking me. Some of my content is Copy only because the texture I used the TOS states it cannot be set to mod/trans. While I do create many of the textures myself, some I have purchased too, so those textures I have to honor the TOS. I added the Classic Closet to the Monentes store too so there are now two locations. I plan on adding more content as I can, while my content is not ripped and maybe not the fanciest stuff, it is different content you will not see rubber stamped all over the HG. I put in the store when I had a need for Classic Clothing and since I offered it in the past I thought why the hell not? To those who like what I create thank you, to those who find fault in it you probably always will cause I am just an ordinary creator that makes a ton of mistakes! The new Classic Closet is now at the Monentes Jewelry store too~

Classic Closet is now complete. I have more clothing added, purses, and this cool backpack. Swimsuits, lingerie, and jogging suits - all for the classic avatar. virtual-hg.com:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/397/297/32

I added a shop to the Catena di Isole Freebie Mall "Classic Closet". I have decided to wear the default-system-classic avatar and in doing so I decided to create clothes to wear and give what I create freely. I will also give out Fate Mesh clothing that I have textured with a texture-changing script giving you multiple choices. The clothing fits Classic Avatar wearing Alphas old school but I am diggin' it! Thank you Jamie Anna Wright for the inspiration. You can find the clothing store here virtual-hg.com:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/397/288/32 I have a bit of lingerie and hosiery too~

I created a Marquee sign free to copy, inside the contents I placed other textures you can use for various Marquee Signs, and also you can add your own! The Marquee sign is in the Monentes store 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.
