☪ Balderdash - Visions of the Otherworld Photography Contest ☪
===============================================================
��

Not so very long ago, there was a lonely girl who sat and dreamed. She dreamt of fantastic things.

She dreamed of ancient places woven in light and shadow, She dreamed of places made of cloud and petal, of rock and
water. She dreamed of beings made of bark, of earth, with twigs in their hair, crystals in their skin, and froth from the
waves or leaves from the trees fluttering against their bodies.

She dreamed of dark places where caves rumbled in song, where unseelie dancers twirled and stomped, sending shadows against stone walls, and mists gathered thick in cool blankets against the earth.

From time to time the girl would take out her pencils and inks, and would sketch in books with thick paper... She would sketch, and she would sketch, but never could she replicate the magical things she found in her dreaming, for they would not flow through her hands when summoned, begged, or bargained with.

And this, my friend, brings us to you...... Perhaps you can capture what she could not......

From the Release notes:
Over and over again, I receive requests for her, and I have to tell you, I've been extremely reluctant to let
go of her. Why do we get so attached to some of the things we create? I wish I knew.

At first, I diddnt want to let her go because she wasnt quite perfect. She was built on the spot and her head
was ill shaped and deformed and .. well, honestly? Blah blah blah.
Sometimes, when we dont really want to do something, we will think of any reason not to do so. I keep promising
to let her go someday... and I think today is it.
You can find her in front of the store, to the right of the stairs. <3

♩♩♩♩ You Can Leave Your Hat On ♩♩♩♩♩
----------------------------------------------------------------------

New Tonight! - Amuck, Amuck, Amuck! - Hat

SL is being terrible to me this evening as far as taking preview shots, so I've made the hat itself a vendor in the shop, you can get a closer look better that way. The Slurl above will take you right there. Its on the Right when you first step in the door.

Amuck is floppy and bent with a band of thorns, roses and ribbon. Theres a touch of black lace veil along the front edges and a skull or a feather tucked in here and there. Altogether a very coy and devilish hat!

Autumn is creeping into Oubliette, slowly but surely. The poor sim is in a bit of a flux at the moment as I've been rennovating in between work and RL drama. Be sure to come and explore and see whats going on.... As I go, I'm finding a whole bunch of things that I forgot to throw in the store... I'll be working quite a bit in the weeks to come on new things, and will be tossing old things into the store as well. The Leafy Groundcovers will be back out and for sale soon by request, since some of you are as impatient as I am for fall.

The cauldron and fire vendor is back out in the shop... Oops.
