In The Summer Garden

Whether your summer garden is a busy or lazy place these are the days to enjoy.

Busy at Teal's Potting Shed. 

Lazy, outside the Kuraeyo Factory Shop on Blues Bayou.

Silk-Weaving for Beginners

Busy, over the past few weeks, reading Germaine Greer's absorbing biography, Shakespeare's Wife, and Charles Nicholl's The Lodger, which gives an excellent and detailed account of Shakespeare's sojourn with the French Mountjoy family on Silver Street in Jacobean London, I decided to make this set of imaginary books for April 23rd Shakespeare's Birthday. I included the frequently overlooked but real, narrative verse poem, Venus and Adonis. Greer describes how 'virtually all of the copies of the more than eleven editions of Venus and Adonis were read to pieces.' It was 'passed from hand to hand by excited housewives' and 'kept under their pillows'.

The shop is the new Kuraeyo shop at Sterling Gardens, Varriale. http://slurl.com/secondlife/Seladia/49/230/303 

The Sterling Gardens development is delicate and elegant and, to be part of this stunning group of designers, I am desperately, urgently, stretching my building skills.

Fun, animated friends and birds at Never You Mind.

Fly Away

Vir Volantes on Bacchus is a fascinating build. Basing his design on the Greek mathematician Hero's aeolipile, Chewie Quixote has created a steam-powered community, free as the wind. What will happen when Physics arrives?! Unable to resist thoroughly exploring this stupendous Steampunk build above the clouds, Kuraeyo has set up shop in one of the airborne emporiums.

With special introductory offers a desirable shop is easy to select.

Jazz even found a special steampunk friend and, in a neighbouring shop, a beautiful Ruffled Handbag by Urid Dal. 
Thanks to Minethere Always who helped with my discovery of Vir Volantes and who has a great Gestures shop there. Do come and visit/join us! IM Macaria Wind (mac) for further information.

For nimble thought can jump both sea and land...

The 1560's role-playing sim Wheatcliffe has moved across InWorldz oceans. There are additional beautiful gardens and parkland and some very fine shops :)

Chroma's shop in the Gatehouse has printed books, tapestries, miniatures and the Kuraeyo Heart Furniture. Paste landmark into chat: http://slurl.com/secondlife/Renaissance/202/200/22

Bindi Hearts

The Kuraeyo shop on BCI, Blues Bayou has some nice items in it. Do visit. Maybe soon I will celebrate the first purchase. Chroma is in charge of quality control and so deserved this beautiful cool sari with sjaal and bindi, M!RAMODE's August Group Gift.

Factory Update

Landscaping of the new factory parcel is complete although noted is the limited tendency of visitors to negotiate the streams, steep banks and overhanging moss. More bridges may be in order. Have I fallen in myself? You'd have to be watching to answer that one.

Factory production is moderate to slow. On the shop-floor there is too much throwing to the ground and picking up again, whilst the makers try to fathom out the vagaries of The Permissions Machine. 

Here, ready to purchase in all its tiny, tanned glory, is our present signature purse.
