I love to build and create things. I

About Myself

I love building and creating beautiful environments. Creating something from a cube is like magik! I am an artist, creator, and weirdo, not in a bad way. I like creepy things, but not gore so much. :) I like making friends, though I am an introvert. I am comfortable with people that I know well and they know me and still like me anyway. :) Owner of the new Tenth Dimension Grid.

My Interests

Building, art, music, reading, writing, history, science, learning new things, and talking to interesting and unique people, even though I am an introvert. I open up to the right people. I force myself to be social because when you get right down to it, it is the people and the love we share that are more important than the things we leave behind. I like kind people. It is easier and more pleasant for everyone else to be a nice person.

I'm Looking For

Artists, Sculptors, Photographers, Music makers, and Creative people! Come be part of the Le Beau Retrouve Art Gallery Family.

Favorite Quote

"Only tears of sorrow can wash out the stain of shame, only pangs of suffering can blot out the fires of lust." The Red Spider

Music I Like

Everything but Rap. Music should make love to your ears, not torment them.

Films I Like

Too many!! I have a wide variety of interests from sappy romance to hardcore horror/fantasy/Sci-fi to thought-provoking documentaries.

Books I Like

Anything by Piers Anthony.
I love lots of types and genres and authors though. I enjoy books that teach me and allow me to discover something new. Usually, the ones that are heavy and you sit on a coffee table to make yourself look smart for company. Yes, I read those too! I used to read cereal boxes, but I outgrew that! Read and you will love your brain! :)

My Heroes

My sis, Ms. Kitty/Kal. She makes me proud!
My Mama. She made me strong.

OpenSimulator Version

Who cares? It will change.

Viewer Version

Who cares? Same answer whatever is out atm and works for me.

Hardware

It works.

Good Day, Friends!

I’m often asked, “What happens to the art when it’s taken down to make room for a new exhibition?” My response has always been that select works from each artist are preserved and moved to another gallery space, becoming part of a permanent exhibition that contributes to OpenSim’s evolving history. Up until now, that was only a vision—a future project in my mind.

I’m thrilled to announce that vision has finally come to life with The Archive Collection. While the name may be straightforward, it leaves no mystery about the treasures inside! 😊

I’ve included some photos—one of them shows me standing in front of the building, to give you a sense of its scale. To enhance your visit, I’ve also added a grand piano I uploaded and added a variety of scripted music that you can play by touching the keys while enjoying the art. There’s even a version of the piano with animation options available at my shop.

As we approach September, those of you with art ready for display are welcome to bring it by the gallery anytime. If you’re not already in the group, please let me know so I can add you to the correct role so you can rez.

I’m incredibly excited about this exhibition and, from what I’ve seen so far, it promises to be a feast for all our senses! Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Good Day, Friends!
I have several buildings ready for you including this Church Of The Black Dragon. There are also a couple of warehouses and a small fire station now boxed and ready to add some unique architecture to your town. Full Perm Original Content.
Thank you for stopping in. I am always adding new stuff. Have a lovely day, night, wherever you are in the world. Shine Bright!!
The Grande Phoenix is a reimagined and refined update of an original Moroccan-style build I created for the town of Devil's Fork in the Land of Xzar. I was never fully satisfied with the original, so I recently undertook a complete remodel and am now excited to share it with anyone who’d like to make it their own.

Designed as a charming boutique hotel, the Grande Phoenix features a welcoming lobby with a side bathroom. The lounge is a cozy retreat with a warm fireplace, a stylish bar, and a dance floor for social gatherings. The custom-built kitchen, crafted with full perm capabilities, is ready for anyone who wishes to add their own animations.

Upstairs, you’ll find three beautifully appointed bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom. The building comes partially furnished, showcasing custom artwork I created, while leaving plenty of room for you to personalize and decorate to suit your style.

The Grande Phoenix is a versatile addition to any town or region, but of course, it’s yours to use however you wish. With full permissions, it’s designed for flexibility and creativity. I hope it brings you as much enjoyment as I’ve had in crafting it.

IsisRising: Beautiful! TY. 4 months ago
These trees were made with AI textures I downloaded from the Internet for free. The textures are beautiful and I applied them to either flexi prims or a 1 prim plant sculpt. They would probably look best in a fantasy setting as they need full bright on for most lighting settings. If you only use the Default sky settings or similar lighting, they look fine with the bright unchecked. There are 22 different trees. Currently, they are located in front of the pyramids.
Rather than having a dedicated area for landscaping items, I have scattered trees, flowers, bushes, etc. all over the region in multiples as I have decided against using any other landscaping. So if you are walking about and see a tree or flower you like, simply click on it to buy for $0. Unless it has a box, everything in the region has the item inside of it so click and buy. :)
I hope everyone has a lovely and restful Sunday.

New at the shop! A simple teleporter gives you access to each floor including the roof of this Observation Tower. I add new items all the time that don't always make the news. Look for the "New" signs glowing in red. The tower can be found near the pyramids. See you soon!

First meeting of the Board Of Directors. We are getting close! Lavia Lavine and Ms. Kal. Thank you for being a part of this amazing journey and the members of the BOD. Countdown...

Hi Friends! I uploaded a new video of me trying to learn to ride this new Dragon a friend was so kind to gift me. The camera angle is difficult, so I have been messing with the camera and hopefully will find a good setting for riding him, cause it is so much fun! Come see me and you can ride him too!
https://youtu.be/hQcOj0SbRYc?si=SDuoEJ6c_c2tZ7ds
Are you looking for some treasure? An experience? Something to do on a lazy afternoon?
Use Shared Environment for the best experience. Have sound up. Graphics as high as your rig can take.

Now hop on a Dragon and come to visit The Land Of Xzar and explore the unique town of Devil's Fork. This is one of the gates that will get you into Devil's Fork.
WELCOME!!!
Take your time to explore this unique, one-of-a-kind build. Except for one or three, all the buildings in the town were built by me over time, across several grids I have called home at one time or another.

Thank the Gods for suitcases and transfer abilities so I didn't lose my creations! Grids come and go so protect your assets!! You won’t find cookie-cutter buildings here that you see everywhere else. Some were built with a plan and some had Magic infused in them because I had no idea where I was going with it, I just started throwing down prims and hoped for the best! :)

Anyway, if you have some time and enjoy new experiences, come explore the town and see what treasures are inside the shops. Most items are free to copy including many of my original creations. There is a Magik Shop that is a must-see! The movie theater (not my build) has a working screen to watch movies that I did make. Good for a Date Night!

The 50-60s Shell Station is an old build and I had to make most of the textures for it, so that may be of interest to check out. Be sure and explore the Cathedral of the Ancients and the Robotics office building across from it. Don’t cam, walk inside, enjoy exploring. Hear the sounds.

To relax, have a drink at one of several bars in town with your friends and listen to the sounds of the town..or hit play on the music. I highly recommend Charlie's Bar, but don't bring a crowd as it is a hole-in-the-wall sort of joint. Literally.

I found the Industrial part of town a bit of a challenge. It was fun to make most of the buildings and you want to have your sound up as there is a lot going on in that part of town! I think it was harder for me to build as I am the least familiar with that sort of industry. Plus “stuff” isn’t as easy to find. Let me know what you think.

If you have not been to The Land Of Xzar, why not? Today I am suggesting (and inviting) everyone who cares to visit, to check out Devil's Fork. But the land has so much much more for you to discover...

If you made it this far, THANKS for reading, and I hope you will enjoy exploring Devil's Fork as much as I enjoyed building it. Let me know what you think of my little town.
I want to thank everyone that came to my Grand Opening. Thanks to all of you, it was a fun party. I appreciate the support and new friendships I made. Our total count was 41...me being the 1. :) A special thanks to Lavia and Unadecal for helping me spread the word, and Una especially for being there to make sure things ran smoothly (they did) and always being supportive of my work. Well, Lavia is always supportive too. Love you both! I also want to thank Metal Tango for providing the music, including her own music. She has her own band in RL and if we can ever talk her into performing inworld...she would shoot to total "Stardom"! She is that GOOD!
The Land Of Xzar is now open for visitors so please come any time and explore. I have spent the past 6 months rebuilding for the 5th time!! Now I get OARs, so this should be the last build, though you are never truly finished, I think. Like my castle. It is like the Winchester house in CA. It keeps growing. The whole region is divided into parcels, including the rivers so they have their own parcel and names. They all have their own EEP as well. There are a few parcels I am still working on, but the rest is pretty much done. Be sure and have your viewer set to shared environment and have sound on as there is sound everywhere. There IS music, but you are missing out if that is what you are listening to rather than the sounds of the land, though I am still working on adding more as there are still some silent pockets. Don't be afraid to say hi if you see me and I promise I won't bother you as I want you to enjoy exploring. The Land Of Xzar is the visual of my upcoming novel by the same name. It should be out by the end of the year. Thanks again to everyone that came. You all ROCK!!!

Andremus Miklos: I had a great time there, I will definitely come back to explore more :) 2 years ago

Lavia and I had our interview on Inworld Review.

How many "NEW" signs can you spot? I have added many new things to the shop and you will find them all by looking for the red, glowing "NEW" signs from one end of the shop to the other. Have fun "Easter egg" hunting!
I have a block of small cottages ready for you to buy for $0 and this cute Gothic One-room School House. It comes with the furnishings so your students can start learning right away! ;) The bell in the tower rings on touch. It is all boxed up with everything you need.
Thanks for coming! ALL are Welcome!
The shop is coming along with many of the items set up for sale for $0 and I am steadily working to get it all set up for you. If you see something you want but it isn't set up for sale yet, let me know and I will get it to you.
This beautiful bar is now available for your pleasure and you can get it for next to nothing! You have to admit, $0 is a pretty good deal!
All of my content is created by me, so if you are looking for original creations, none of the items in my shop are copybotted. Maybe you will find something you like or something you didn't know you needed. Welcome friends!
Did you know that there are other vendors at Masala Al Kohav? Yes! I am one of them. I have a sweet little shop with all original content made by me. I offer beautiful furniture and decor that add a finishing touch to your home. I made these beautiful bottles with textures made with AI. Get some of them and maybe you will find something else you like. I also have houses and other architecture on the lower level. While you are there, check out our other vendors as well. Thank you for shopping with us. Love and Blessings! ~Star~

Grand Opening of The Land Of Xzar Sunday! Party at the Castle with DJ Metal Tango, 5 pm grid time. Details soon.


Star Ravenhurst: Correction: 3 PM grid time 2 years ago
My Sister Ms. Kitty shared this with me this morning. She finds the best stuff! Especially when she knows I have an interest in something. This is around 18 minutes and worth every minute of your time. It will open, blow, and astound your mind. At least it did me. A thousand kudos to the creator of this short film!
I hope it is OK to post a link here. I just want everyone to watch this. SO creative.

Jared Seda: Happy Thanksgiving! 24 days ago

The tour of the exhibit with Cherry starts at 11:15 am September 29, 2024. Save the date. The rest of the gallery opens at 12 noon SLT with Rogue Galaxy and at 1pm SLT we have Forest Azure.

I have a few buildings available that are perfect for your Industrial part of town. They are Full Perm, so if you want to change the signs to your own, just edit and change the texture. If you need help, I will happily do so. I hope your day is awesome and filled with joy!

Staked Garden, Hadean's Castle, The Land Of Xzar. Newest scene build.

I finally came up with something I could use these textures on. Executioner's Pavilion. It isn't easy to photograph and probably looks better in person. When you walk in drums start pounding with a script that starts it up when you get close, so they aren't going all the time. Things are coming along...

Come party with us tonight!

LaviaLavine: We had a very good time and great music, it was lots of fun! 8 months ago
When you come to visit, enable a shared environment and walk around as the whole region is parceled into a dozen or more places...I lost count. :) Even the rivers are parceled so they have their name in the viewer when you take a raft down them or cross over them on a bridge. I have made EEPs and a lot of the parcels are different so the skies will change as you walk along. They could have been changed from your last visit because I am always messing with the skies and making new ones. Or you could look up in the sky and jump on a dragon as some circle the whole region, but sadly the skies will remain the same because of where the prim is that they are attached to. But if you see something of interest, you can jump off to explore, and the sky will change. I have a new Dragon that you can navigate on your own as well, but he needs a little work. I hope you will enjoy The Land Of Xzar. See you soon!

Are you looking for some Magik? Check out my little Magik shop in Devil's Fork. Happy October!!

McCall Technologies-Devil's Fork, The Land Of Xzar

Final Version. I like it a lot better with some brick added and some other textures you really will only see in person because of the shadows. and it is a photo, so flattened. What do you think?
I hope everyone is having a lovely Valentine's Day where ever you are in the world!
The land of Xzar is coming along. I can't believe it has been only 4 months since I migrated to the Genesis RP grid! What a journey! I am building this fantasy world based on my story for the 5th time!! I am this [ ] close to inviting you all to come to have a look. The land of Xzar is a mixture of past, present, and future. This is one of my latest builds. McCall Technologies is a Robotics company and this is the corporate hive. I just can't figure out what to do with the front. Any suggestions? I love building fountains so they are all over the place. Still, it is one option. I am thinking of jet fountains along the sides in front. Or they could be planters. Shrug.
Edited to add a picture of the final Look. Added fountains and found the statue in my inventory.

The Grand Opening party is still going on! Come join us for a good time!!

A Gem of a Shop! I absolutely love this shop! Marianna is an incredibly talented jewelry designer, and I’m so grateful she shares her stunning creations with us.

HG Safari has become very important to me. I get to explore new places I otherwise would never know about and have met so many wonderful people in Open Sim. Thirza does an amazing job of scheduling these visits and afterward, she always writes a blog about it.

Walking the streets of this beautiful world feels like the real thing. Kal will continue to develop her regions to bring them to life and make this grid a place you will want to return to many times.

Mech Lab

One of the best Futuristic builds I have ever seen. Original and creative, I enjoyed my visit so much. The owner is nice and friendly and I enjoyed visiting with her as well. Be sure and have your sound on so you can hear the ambience and of course, have Shared Environment on. There are some fun rides, but walking is the way to go to not miss anything.

Textures Trees, & Scripts

I had trouble seeing the Teleporter even though everything else had rezzed quickly. Safine was very helpful in resolving the problem. There are lots of beautiful textures to choose from. What a great resource for builders! If you are looking for a script, perhaps you will find one here. I feel very welcome and I look forward to visiting again.

ETZEL

I would give it 10 stars if I could. Samhain (Halloween) is my favorite time of year and Thomas brings all the horror and fun alive. If you go, WALK around, otherwise, you will miss something. Camming does not give you the best experience, and that applies to wherever you go in Open Sim. Give yourself time to explore and immerse yourself in the scenery. You will be happy that you did. Promise. Tha...

Chubelz_Welcome

I went looking for something else and found so much more! Beautiful place, with a smart layout, and some really good stuff I have not seen anywhere else. Sadly, I can only give it 4 stars as there are several items not set up for sale/copy. It deserves 5 stars once this is corrected. Thank you for all the wonderful things I was able to get. Overall, a good shopping experience.

I spent at least two hours exploring this lovely region. The owners have done a fantastic job building this wonderful place and the attention to detail is just the sort of thing that I appreciate. Well worth visiting!

The Garth

This is the best-organized freebie shopping place I have ever seen making it easy to find what you are looking for and I found a lot of things I didn't even know I needed! Every area is clearly labeled which I found to be a big help as I was looking for something specific. Sadly, I am still on the hunt for it but I am happy I discovered this awesome place! I will return again and again. Thank you...
