Stolen Stars From The Sky

1 Celestial 1

He must have stolen some stars from the sky,
And gave them to you to wear in your eyes.
I had my chances, but I set you free.
And now I wonder why I couldn’t see.
~ From “You Look So Good In Love” by George Strait

Oh, what a beautiful song…it’s about love and loss and memories. It is sad and wistful with a touch of regret. It is proof that you don’t need a pickup truck or Mama or an ole yeller dog to write a perfect country song.

I was reminded of this tune when I saw the latest creation from Cheeky Pea for Uber. As with everything Isla Gealach creates, the textures are amazing the detail is incredible. I actually got goose bumps reading the little quotes on the stars and moons decorating the canopy. And with all twelve zodiac signs available as a wall-hanging, you can chart your stars to suit any horoscope.

You can share it with your sweetheart or curl up and reminisce about stolen stars from the sky.

Nostalgia

1 Nostalgia

Sometimes when I have something I need to blog, I just start rezzing stuff and see what turns out. In this case, I started with the Cozy Bed from Kuro in the Iona Conservatory from Trompe Loeil. The reason I started with this build is because I had it rezzed on my platform and couldn’t be bothered to get rid of it and start with something new. Besides, I love the shadows it creates, so win-win.

The end result was a feeling of nostalgia; for what, I’m not sure. Just days gone by, maybe even in another life.

Deranged Beauty

1 By Moonlight-1

When I saw this dress by =Zenith= available at this round of Uber, I had to have it. It is feminine and soft and has luxuriously silky textures; just the kind of dress I love. I had visions of a romantic photo, showing her longing for her love in the moonlight.

I have spent three days working on various versions of the image, and to me, she still looks like a deranged woman in an asylum, begging to be let out.

Oh well, even a lunatic deserves to look beautiful.
