My Perfume Challenge: 1. Finding the Equipment

When we were little we used to make scent. We gathered petals, poured liquid over them, stirred well and left them in the corner of the garden to 'turn into scent'. They fermented, usually not nicely, in the sun and my father with his customary good humour recruited himself to dispose of the resulting dark slime. I do remember however the choosing process, savoring the nicest scented herb and geranium leaves, gathering velvet crimson rose petals and spicy pinks.

This time I decided the proper equipment for the process should come first.

The first port of call was Johnny Night's alchemical emporium on Amethyst Isle. Here were the scales, bottles and books of recipes. It was tempting to set up from scratch but sculpty tubing at skidz Tweak's has so far proved a little beyond my current creative building abilities (pictures later; much later when I can laugh at them.)

Strange roots

This is in response to Whiskey Shots' blogger challenge - Week One - show me your best!
A place I keep returning to is Soror Nishi's Island, the beautifully textured Rainbow Country sim. Loitering under the palm trees I literally drink in the colours. I love those terrain textures! 

 Here, at ground level, jewel-like, bulbous prims have been tenderly cultivated into the strangest, delicate, botanical shapes. 

Soror has added descriptive details of special usage - some mad and witty, some weirdly fantastical - Crabclaw Orchid a source of essential oil, the Insect Pitcher Plant an insectivorous jewel, or, Soror's Hobo Grass it wanders everywhere. Hidden out of sight, I imagine the Caliban-like native inhabitants, tending and harvesting this magic isle.

Exotic particles fill the air with sparkling emissions, and yes, I'm sure I can smell those mists of perfume!

Now for my own Blogger Challenge: create a perfume or culinary delight from ingredients gathered during your InWorldz travels. Stir it up!
