Spring Is In The Air!

At least that's what I hear ... not that I see much sign of it where I live, hehe.

Well with today starts the Hello Spring full-perm 2L hunt, and I've got a prize in it, of course! It's a set of 10 seamless wall textures, this time with moulding. The painted wall part uses the stucco texture as its base, but it's been decorated with a delicate flower overlay for a cute, pretty spring texture.

The best part? All the textures in this set matches the Stucco Wall set that was on sale this weekend!

So, stop on over and get this hunt going!

I'm Stucco On You ...

Yes, I said that with a straight face! Muahahaha.

All kidding aside, this week's release is a beautiful set of 13 seamless stucco wall textures in shades ranging from traditional neutrals to vibrant gem tones and calm pastels. This week it is being released at its introductory price of 89L as part of the Super Weekend Sale sales hop!

After the end of the day Sunday, the set goes up to its usual price of 195L. So, snap up the sale price before the end of the day!

Wishing for Warmth ...

This week's release is with summer in mind! While it is cold and slushy where I live, I know that most of you are busy planning your summer builds at this time. So, with that in mind, this week I'm releasing my new set of fabric textures in all sorts of delicious, summery shades.

This set contains 44 fabrics with the newest spring and summer color trends in mind: teals, corals, beige, and spicy oranges and reds. You'll find 22 seamless plain textures, and 22 matching, shaded textures.

For those in the VIP in-world group, this FULL SET is in the group-members-only VIP Midnight Mania board at the crazy low target of just 10 slaps. It'll be up until end of day Sunday, so you can lock it down as many times as you want. I also force the board at least once on Sundays before I log for the day, so if it doesn't lock at first, be sure to keep trying.

If VIPs miss this offer, the cost of this set will be available for 50% off of its regular price for the next two weeks!

Not in the group? No worries, go to my in-world store at the following URL and click on the group joiner that is located right under the MM board, and join the fun!

IN OTHER NEWS, the Texture Mania 5 hunt started today! Just for this occasion, I put together a set called Ugly Couch, a set of 10 full-permission fabric textures. While it's called Ugly Couch, this set of fabrics really can be used for anything that requires a heavy-fabric feel to it. It comes in all shades from browns, golds and khaki, to bright pinks and green. Be sure to stop by and pick it up, and check out the other amazing creators in this hunt!

Happy shopping and hunting!

Grunginess on Sale!

OK it's official! With today starts the Builder's Bargains sale, and the grungy couch texture set I mentioned to you is now officially available for sale at the reduced price of 150L until end of day Sunday only!

Come grab the grungy greatness before it ends, and be sure to check out the other wonderful creators out there who are also participating in this week's sale. You can find them listed on the Builder's Bargains new official blog.

I'll have some new releases next week including new VIP Midnight Mania opportunities, and starting March 1 is the new Texture Mania 5 gridwide hunt! Keep watching!

And now for something completely different ...

OK, so I've been away for a bit! Now I'm back, and I've got some changes that I'll be slowly stirring into the mix.

First, let me start with what will be coming up this week! On Thursday, I'll be participating in the Builder's Bargains sale for the first time in a bit. For it, I've created a brand new set of textures that I'm excited to share with you called "Ugly Couch." Seriously, it's a texture created with my old ugly RL couch in mind bahaha!  The base texture is shots of the worn-down velour/textile texture from my actual couch, enhanced for use in SL and colorized. The set includes shaded and plain versions of each color.

For BB it'll be on sale for 150L starting on Thursday and ending Sunday. After that, the cost will go up to 300L.

And with that introduction, I wanted to let my loyal customers know that there are some pricing and branding changes coming up on the horizon.

In more than one instance, I've been informed by some of my respected colleagues that my pricing is 'too low,' and in fact, I've been passed up on some opportunities because of it. So, in order bring my textures up to fair market value, my textures will go from the stupid-low price of 5L per texture (omg what was I thinking?) to a more sane 15L per texture.

For those of my supporters who depended upon my lower prices, please don't fear: I will still be participating in the occasional hunt, and if you join my VIP group, you will have the occasional full-pack in the VIP Midnight Mania board that you can count on (which, if they don't get locked down, I offer for a temporary 50% off discount to VIPs only).

Also, I'll be taking part in Builder's Bargains, where you'll find my newly released full packs on sale for 50% off the regular price.

On the heels of this price change will be a name-change and new look for my texture shop. This last bit may take a while as I am a) slow and b) picky ... So stay tuned!
