The Beauty of Fractals - Spiral's Fractals

I just recently discovered the beauty of fractals. According to Wikipedia, "A fractal is generally a rough or fragmented geometric shape that can be split into parts, each of which is (at least approximately) a reduced-size copy of the whole, a property called self-similarity."


The fractal art and Spiral's Fractals is absolutely gorgeous. The play of colors and is stunning. The pictures here only give you a slight idea of what Spiral has available. You need to see the art for yourself. Spiral's prices are very reasonable too, so you can decorate your SL home with these beauties. Digital Sculptures are also available.


While you are there, take the teleport up to the SPHERE. The SPHERE is a unique club that features a variety of MUSIC VIDEOS that are displayed across many screens throughout the club, allowing you to experience the music visually as you dance to the sounds of your favorite music artists. When I arrived at the club it was all dark and gray. Once I turned on media it became a beautiful play of light and colors - amazing! The club can be rented for special events.

See the Beauty Before It's Gone - The Nameless Isle

The Nameless Isle is another grand creation of Baron Grayson. The depth and creativity should be no surprise for someone who has seen Baron's work before.


The sim itself is far from flat. There are tall cliffs and hills surrounding lagoons at water level.


I can't say enough about the brilliant textures Baron uses on his sims. Sit and watch the waves lapping upon the shoreline. Walk through the rain and the flowers in the hills. Watch the dandelion seeds blow through the air. The realism is uncanny.


The light effects is also amazing. From the purple hues on the hills above to the blue hues in the lagoons to the combination of hues in the sky, it's breathtaking.


You have to see this sim for yourself. Take some time to explore it. But, don't forget to take pictures for two reasons: 1) The Nameless Isle makes a beautiful backdrop for pictures of your avie, and 2) The Namless Isle won't be around for much longer.

It's a party...

A Masterpiece - Templum ex Obscurum

If you are a close friend of mine, you know that I am a fan of Baron Grayson's work. Baron's artistry shows through in everything he does right down to the depth of the textures he creates. It occurred to me that as long as I've known Baron and appreciated his work, I haven't really created a blog on one of his sims.


Templum ex Obscurum is a public sim and now in the care of the Cariwynne Estates - two wonderful caretakers that I'm also proud to call friends.


Templum is a dark, mysterious sim that makes you want to explore every nook and cranny. The temple alone has such rich, vibrant textures leading you up the isle to the dancing blue lights.

Swamps, glowing light, dense fog, swirling waters and dark, rich vegetation all interact to create this masterpiece that draws you to explore. I could spend paragraphs and paragraphs describing the place. However, I truly think Templum ex Obscurum is an experience. Take a stroll through the sim and take in the beauty.

Got the Blues?

The C.C.Loons Blues Museum at the Crossroads aka. The House of Tunes is the place you want to check out if you love the blues or just want to learn more about artists behind blues music.


From the early pioneers of the blues such as Ida Cox, Billy Patton, Bessie Smith, and Mississippi John Hurt to the greats such as Ike Turner and Etta James, you will find them all here. Each artist is represented with a picture. Click on the picture and a notecard will be delivered to you with information regarding their life and contribution to music.

The pictures also give notecards that tell the story of the blues. For instance, the notecard for the picture above talks about the Early Post War Blues:

After World War II and in the 1950s, as African Americans moved to the Northern cities, new styles of electric blues music became popular in cities such as Chicago, Detroit and St. Louis. Electric blues used amplified electric guitars, electric bass, drums, and harmonica. Chicago became a center for electric blues in the early 1950s...

The museum also showcases the instruments played by the Blues artists. You can click on them and get more detailed information also. For instance, you can find out why B.B. King always named his guitars Lucille.

A video screen that plays videos on the second floor. A deck is off the back with dance balls and a stage for live performances. Add some blues to your day.

Noob Art?

Have you seen the prim Noobs around SL? Have they fooled you into thinking they were an avie?


Avalon Art District challenged residents to take a sculpted Noob and change the textures, modify it, add to it, make it creative, silly or inspirational. Name it something creative and submit it. The entry deadline has past, but now you can go view the creations and vote on them.


I'm only showing you a couple of pictures because it's more fun seeing them for yourself.
