After 6 months of slinging boxes, writing classifieds, smiling at models, helping customers and laughing at over caffinated and sleep deprived designers, I was finally convinced to throw my hat into the ring and try to produce something worth selling...
That was 2 weeks ago...On the 31st of Jan... I made my first sale... I was sooo excited. Of course have a position at the new Style Starts Here sim didn't hurt. And what was I selling you may ask... or not as you feel so inclined... jewelery. One of my RL and SL passions. That first day, and the following when the sim went public, were enough to spark my creative juices and get me all motivated about producing more and promoting my designs across the grid.
Dahlinks, named in honour of ZaZa the biggest jewelery maven the world has ever seen, is my new baby. The initial release concentrates a lot on classic pearls and casual contemporary pieces. I am really looking at making jewelery that I want to wear... and hoping that others might like it too.
All my textures are hand drawn and are a work in progress that I doubt I will ever be happy with. All the designs are full prim and hand set. I have a beef about necklaces that hang around your neck like hula hoops...
I am currently concentrating on link and bead work or natural semi-precious stones with a cabochon cut. There are a lot of designers making good quality sparkly gems cut sets in SL. I am trying to do the 'other stuff'. Fortunately, this works in well with the new casual lines at Style Starts Here (SSH). Welll, apart from the pearls that is... and they are just a life long passion.
You can see the whole small range at my onrez site as well... http://shop.onrez.com/Alexandra_Nichols
Must get back to lining up tiny tiny prims...
Have fun
Alex
