Question I often get asked is, "Why are some OARS exclusive for Dreamgridders only, I thought this was a free and opensource platform with sharing." Yes it is however, the reason some OARs are exclusive to DreamGrid users is that they contain purchased items with licenses that must be respected. **Or the Creators of these OARS only offered them to Dreamgridders it is their license to share with us.** By limiting the distribution of these OARs to the DreamGrid platform, we ensure that we are honoring those licensing agreements.

Being a solo-sapien sapiosexual I find the spark of attraction in the light of intellect, where minds meet and ignite a connection that transcends the physical and delves into the profound beauty of thought.

SkyRealm Sun Moon Stars Charm Bracelet-Please find this at the SkyRealm Observatory virtual-hg.com:8002/SkyRealm/257/242/224

Embrace life, and enjoy the warmth of spring. I love you. ♥ ♥

I have created an Aurora Borealis for you. Three different Auroras, I call it my Aurora Wave, please feel free to pick up your copy at the store in the foyer.

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 Bangle please find this at the SkyRealm Observatory virtual-hg.com:8002:SkyRealm

I placed SkyRealm Hoodies at the landing for both Male and Female! I will be adding more gifts as I create them. I have added new learning kiosks, meteors, comets and planets too, if you haven't stopped by yet please do!!

SkyRealm Observatory~A dream realized~Thank you, @FerdFrederix

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!!

Surf Season- the Leather Knotted Lapis Lazuli Surf Bracelet comes to mind.
virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

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!

I call this one Sweetheart Solitaire, it has a nice profile on the band too. In the foyer on the little tables. This ring has a resizer script. virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

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.

Staying in a Gypsy Wagon for the weekend is a unique way to experience the virtual outdoors. It's like camping, but with a bit of added luxury and comfort. This wagon provides a cozy and private atmosphere, while still giving you the opportunity to enjoy the beauty of nature. The earthy scent of pine and the gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze creates a calming atmosphere here. Consider booking the Gypsy Wagon for your weekend stay with the Weekenders at Virtual-HG grid virtual-hg.com:8002:Catena di isole

Men's Peace Ring-You will find this in the Men's dept of the store to the left of the foyer. Free-Full Perms virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

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!
It is the weekend and Weekenders cottages, huts, and grottos are available for rental. When you book a cottage with us, you can be sure that your stay will be one to remember. Our rentals provide you with the perfect combination of privacy and comfort, making it the ideal place to relax and enjoy your time away.

With dinners for two and dancing available, you can spend quality time with your loved one in the most romantic setting. Get ready to make your stay with us one that you'll never forget! I just added a beautiful underwater grotto completely private for your weekend stay. The rental office is located at Catena di isole -----> virtual-hg.com:8002/Catena%20di%20isole/396/283/32
MashUp is now completed with several floors of props, poses, and images.
This can be a great creative outlet and can be used to tell stories and express emotions. MashUp images you take can be used in your ads. virtual-hg.com:8002:MashUp
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.

Created Ruby Noel Solitaire today. It is in the Foyer, this is sitting on the table, it is not in the advent calendar because the calendar is full! Enjoy~

virtual-hg.com:8002:Monentes Jewelry

oops, I am so sorry! About 10 months ago, there was a glitch in the database here at OSW and it removed most of my friends. Satyr got it all restored fine he asked me to check and see if friends were back on the list. It looked to be complete I apologize if I missed a few, but I looked, and yes everyone (I hope) was there but I did not see that some were blocked!!!! I am so sorry! I spent the last half hour unblocking you guys can toss the tomatoes at me any time. I wondered why my chats got so quiet lmao Sorry!!
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

My Reviews

Le Beau Retrouve

Nestled within the luminous halls of a meticulously crafted building, the latest art installation honoring OpenSim artists is nothing short of breathtaking. As you step into the space, the first thing that strikes you is the architectural elegance—the high, sweeping windows allow natural light to pour in, casting a gentle glow that dances across the artworks on display. Each piece is thoughtful...

Grid Tumbler

Experience the thrill of riding dynamic waves in OpenSim's newest surf hotspot, Grid Tumbler, complete with lifelike water physics and breathtaking views. Where the perfect waves and the owner's beautiful surf spirit create an unparalleled virtual surfing haven. Thank you, Lilly and everyone who brought this magic!

iknimaya

Thank you Sharann, it was in my region settings you should be okay to teleport in now.

Outworldz Yo Franki

If you have free time, you need to check out Yo Franki! I am so uncoordinated and fell each time I tried to jump, this is a super fun game! It is a test of your virtual skills and super fun! Fred recreated this from Blender Institute, an open-source game. Make sure to bring a friend or two!

RRD Fashion Exclusives

What I love about Triz is her clothing is consistently well-created with beautiful textures too. Thank you Triz for all the work you put into your clothing-I love the styles too.

Kaneville Farm

It is always such a wonderful feeling to be welcomed into a new place by warm and friendly people. It can make a huge difference in how you feel about the place, and it can make a huge impact on your experience. I will be returning soon.

Stella Polaris

When you step into Stella Polaris, Magical Dreams region you will feel as if you floated into a fairytale dream.  Soft pastels, shimmering lights, and sun rays - this is magical.  One must simply ​experience the dreamlike estate to really capture what Bink Draconia has captured. ​

The Art Factory

Thought provoking gallery. Viewing the art pieces gives you pause and a chance to reflect on thoughts we rarely explore. I love this gallery. I love how it is presented, very nice work.
