Blood Rose
So my mind wandered again and i designed jewelery instead of clothing lol. Also did some photographs. Just getting use to ps again. the new sets are pearls but i added a ‘gem’ ruby rose to black pearls its very fem and girly. Its a choker style with the roses layered down three strands.
I added some huge bulky earrings to this only for the fun of it. They are the kind that can be seen from across a sim LOL. anyway enjoy
not much more to write.

New looks
I had to redo Envy and Blue glass. See, I love rubies. It is actually my favourite stone. (real life) so when i saw how blah Envy was in diamond i decided it had to be red to be eye catching. So there you go. lol. its absolutely stunning. Nemasys matched it with a Violator dress, and hair from boon but you cant tell because of the fab PS work done by Aly Evanier. Check it out along with the other releases. Again remember only a couple more releases then im off to break again. My blog will contain more about art and artists. As november approaches so does teh closure of The Quiet on Welsh lakes. Am Radio has been on my sims for more then a year with fantastics builds, from refuge to radio. I thank him for allowing me the pleasure of hosting his unbelievable work. As well as Madcow Cosmos who i will be blogging. This coming week will be a host of artist at burning life who i will blog. so keep your eye on this blog. As for another change, i change blue glass, and added black pearl and onyx in place of the gold. Its a very tasteful addition to the set.
Tomorrow- Burning Life

I had a few releases this fall, and no not done yet. Still want to create a few more bold pieces and i have a few delicate / bridal pieces yet to make. Oh, and also release Envy in Ruby.
Other then that i have decided to break during november and begin clothing. Yes, clothing. What made me make this decision is ive i felt recently that there are too many jewelers in second life, and makes it terribly hard to design knowing full well by the time any take the time to see releases ive done back in july now, or don’t recall a design ive done in spring until now, just made me realize that there just isn’t enough room for so many jewelers. I really do appreciate all those who’ve supported my work, and continue to support my work. You dont realize what a joy it is to get those IM’s telling me how lovely a particular release is. I do plan to continue created jewelry just not at the scale i do now. Accessories to the clothing yes, i do plan to do that. What type? I plan to work from casual to Formal both male and female. Yes i know there are lots of clothing designers out there too. I feel it will be fun and add more to the name “by Alexander” .
Aly Evanier, whom is also my scripter and ps pro has begun a very interesting line, Id admit, far from traditional. But the work is also superb. Make no mistake, just because its very very different, doesnt mean the outfit is ‘blah’ . Her hand draw textures are amazing, along with the detail. The set Mia for example, the stockings look as if the designs themselves are raised. The lace cuts are perfect, and her netting she hand drew. Perhaps its not a ‘ Niki Ree” or a Victoria V ” but this young designer shows promising work.
I dont say this because shes a friend nor because she works with me, but because my work shows my eye for perfection, those who own my work know im a perfectionist, and that is what i see in her work. Perfection. Still half asleep but im sure you got the idea.
Her work is highly creative as well, from her Fay set that sets you wearing flowers, to Mariposa, (Butterfly) where you wear butterflies, its work thats a one of a kind, and will not be seen in second life but from this designer. So do check her work. More so now during the holiday for that costume. Toss on a pair of wings, horns or beat up skin and you have a cool outfit.
Now to releases.
Kat collection- This was done with large ovals and rounds of ‘tiger eye stone’ embedded on a thick bold choker that resembles a collar. Make no mistake, this was NOT created to be a collar, this set was created to mimic large gems decorating your neck with a single drop of large stones down between the breast line. Triangular shaped earrings with embedded stones, with a touch of diamonds scattered here and there. I would have loved to add a touch of bling but i truly hate it in sl (LOL). The glow effect was added here and there instead. Of course this can also be a collar for some lucky submissive out there. Remember to contact me if you do wish this for a collar. I do sale my work modify for those who wish to script for BDSM use. This set also comes with a bracelets done with thick gems stacked in a three rows. A very simple ring, done in a semi floral design, with a mix of citrin stones, gold, and brass. A colour I have yet to use. Look in the future for brass bassed work.
Seduction- this breathtaking design even amazed me. haha and im not that taken by my own work. What is the saying? you are your worst critic. Yes i definately am my worst critic. But this set had me completely happy with how it came out. It was not planned to have so many drops, but in the end suffice it to say, it eneded up with a lot of drops. drop of coin, with links showering down the chest in a gleam of gold, done in a bib style. Thick gold links surround the neck, the drops are not designed in a perfect semi circular design, but instead lay on the chest crafted in a way where they are clustered and have end pieces and some that lap over each other. Its for that moment you wish to have all eyes on your. Bold, daring and yes seduce. This set can be worn with a plunging neckline, to a high collared gown, and even dare i say that moment you wish to seduce and wear nothing at all but the jewels. After all what is more beautiful then a woman wearing only her jewels? (cut me some slack lol)http://runwaykidz.wordpress.com/author/aliannalogan/
Sunlight- This set was an Art statement. Really, it was simply done with an idea of what would sunlight look if you wore it? Well sunlight isnt perfect when it hits your body, it hits your body how it wishes. I lay the prims in a design that worked its way up the neckline from a drop of a sun settled on the breast, to circle the neck in a zig zag design. yes not perfect at all, infact it looks kinda odd when you first look at it. the waves work up semi straight to only curve outward as if the sun was hitting your body from side. embedded in the wave links are tiny amber pieces with a soft glow, only a hint of it, the waves linked together with a golden sphere. the sun it self is a soft yellow with a hint of glow inside. The set has long earrings, a thick cuff and simple ring all designed with the same theme.
Nemasys Vargas, paired this with both a Gown by Indyra, and one from Miamai. I really need to ask her the names. Perhaps Ill get her to blog which gowns she used for each set.
Blue Glass- This set is the most traditional set ive completed. Pretty simple really, it is golden beads wrapped single around the neck with a drop to the mid chest with a blown blue glass pendent surrounded in light gold beading. the soft glow is similar to my Amber collection. Setting off an inner glow that becomes stronger at different day settings. Earrings done with a round wrapped in a gold twist, and beads up to the ear, a stacked bracelet with round gold beads, a slender gold on gold cuf, and a beaded blown glass bracelet with a hint of gold accents. The blue on this is pretty cool. Its the blue of October skys.
Skully top hat- LOL, this was made after my son returned from disney land. yea i thought his big floppy hat was cool and couldnt resist making one in second life. (yes its pretty different then my sons hat im very much aware of copy right on disney products) I made this tophat for both men and women with the womens version being tiny and pretty cute.
I did rerelease my last years halloween designs. Glass Pumpkin, a gem pumpkin set, ring earrings and bracelet completing the set with a necklace. Its been marked down to 100L for the entire set.
Black widow (spiders..blah) Is marked down to 10L 20L for the entire set. I do plan to make a new spider set for halloween. And some more tophats. Yea i know the market is blown out with them, but eh i had fun making my first.
When im on break, I do wish to finish my sim, and get my ass in gear with my art. Which I will blog about later. Ive met some pretty cool artists and have their work on the sim, just havent spoken much about them. A few photographers sit in the building gallery. Check them out. Also the famous painter fumiclouds work is on display as well during breast cancer awareness month. a real life painter who we lost a few years back. I do plan to make an outdoor display of her work.
Until next time, enjoy.

new info
so been a while since i wrote anything in here so ill just start with the simple things first. releases. I have done several since opening the new store. the sim is pretty much done except for adding the rabbits and birds i had and a new cave for those who liked the old cave. Age verification.. now the sim is NOT marked for anything explicit for more then likely it wont get flagged but none the less if you can get verified. the surrounding sims you will need age verification. new art will be hanging in the builds soon, as i dropped the sculptures i felt i wanted to display some new ones for bryn oh. As for Welsh Lakes looks like AM recreated the Refuge. take a peek
New store i will be joining is the Estorea sim. A few choice bridal pieces will go on that sim. its an exclusive bridal sim. absolutely gorgeous created by the talented Gwen Carillon.
will be in my classified soon.
my flickr will be updated soon, just been taking it easy for those who know me know what that means i get absolutely lazy and tend to forget to update … lol
ok as for the releases… ive been playing with some grunge and tribal for both men and women. I wont stop creating elegant and simple as what im known for, but its been refreshing to create the tribal set like Voodoo, and Rosario de Muerte. Rosary of the dead.. yea im so going to hell. lol
we have a few belts for both men and women. the new releases are on the LEFT wing of the store. soon i will be moving some to the right side enterance.
Today i released a very real life edition to my creations a pave set between gold. it curves down with the bagettes lining the inside. the set is called Regal because it reminded me of royalty. its a rather large set as i made it for bridal. im not accustomed to large but i have been making larger sets. soon enough ill go back to the delicate that im happy with but for now enjoy the larger sizes. Solar is another all gold set with a belt even. its disks inset with a ”glass’ like texture. Trinity is similar but its more circle in a ring in a off center of three falling into the breast line. Chandelier is in platinum with diamonds and black pearls. with a hint of blue crystal. its very different. i actually like the set a bit more then its sister set Raina.
Diamante is a choker i had thought to create something for D/s world. a beautiful diamond set with a precious gem drop. surrounded by diamonds. the stone is colour changing.
i think thats it for now i will be adding pics tomorrow.

New Releases
Well I’ve been busy. Upcoming events, we have the bridal show, Something Blue event the information is at the main store on Welsh Bay. Also, a Modavia Fashion Event coordinating with the Real Life fashion show taking place in September. Yes I will be sponsoring that. And A new store on the blvd, Best of Second Life, shared with Keth Mommsen of Eros Designs. You can get that LM from my pics. OK now with releases.
I will begin with Memories ” Hunters Collection”.
This set was made last year or so, my first diamond choker in the name Hunter’s Tears. It was named after my colleague and companion. Hunter and I are still very close friends and because of this I decided to re release the set in a colour scripted version with Six colours. The original set only was released in four colours. I had removed those and left only the diamond for over a year. So this release is a special one. I left the original design, and simply added the colour changing script. It will be moved over to the Bridal section as I original designed this to be a bridal set. (colours are Amethyst, Ruby, Emerald, Pink diamond, Blue diamond and White diamond, also Blue Sapphire- think I missed one in the pic i took my bad)
Mosaic Collection
This funky (yes i used the word funky) Set came about because I got bored and decided to play with prims again. Nothing really inspired this, I just wanted to see what I could do with this. So After playing with the prims I ended up with a bold and fun piece in a collage of squares and circles. Its a very casual set, so for those who love chunky (yes i used the word chunky) jewelry and fun designs this is for you. It has a colour change script for the metal because i couldn’t decide if I liked it in black or gold.
Ribbon and Pearls
This was a pain to create. Three tier pearls dropping down from smaller size to large at the neck the gradually wrapping up around to small again. They were done in a cream colour. the Side ribbon gives it a very feminine look, very soft. The ribbon was scripted to change colour, and some flex was added to give it a shimmer when you move. there is a Four layer cuff with a ribbon on it as well, long bold earrings done in three pearls dropping down from smaller to large in size. The ring is a unique blend of old and new, a open casing rimmed with white diamonds and the pearl in the center. It was done in gold rather then white gold. It resembles a pearl in an oyster.
Keepsakes
These boxes were the result of seeing if i could make a glass case. Serious. I was making a glass box for some art i had and thought well let me see if i can make a jewelry box, then i thought how cool would it be to have it like a locket. so the idea began. I made a glass box with a gold backing gold rims to hold the glass in place. Inside are keepsakes. Think of loose pearls from a necklace you broke, or stones from a ring… charms. This is what these boxes are about. To keep your possessions your prize close to your heart. these unique boxes were scripted to open not for any reason but to open it since the glass was tinted an amberish colour. You can better see the charms and gems by opening it. There is a frame in all the boxes, for you to place a picture in with the same script as the Amanda locket. sure its tiny, but how nice to have all your keepsakes in one box. The different boxes are named ” Celestial, Witches charm, Gothic Tears, Love and Kisses, Butterfly, Key to my Heart”
I will be offering for a short time order forms for your own personalized Keepsakes Box. The information will be at the main store, on Welsh bay.

New releases
Yes I’ve been busy. Since the release of Oro and Plata (gold and silver ) I’ve gotten a bit comfortable with colour menu’s (laughs yes probably wont last long so enjoy while it lasts)
Ive made some elegance pieces, for bridal, some not so safe, and a locket. I never would have thought I’d make a locket but the person behind it truly inspired me.
so here are the new releases
Sky Collection is a diamond collection, named sky for the light blue diamonds i first used to create and release it with BUT i thought i wasn’t in the mood to colour and make additional ads SO this has a colour menu on it. Your choices are several (white diamond, pink, dark blue Sapphire, ruby, emerald and the blue diamond) It comes with a bracelet, earrings and ring. All size and colour menu driven.
Healing heart is a simple set, not really my style of work but was fun making it. I think it was the idea of the growing heart that got my mind going with this. It was a necklace my wife had shown me and thus my mind started. It stems up to a choker. It also has matching earrings. colour choices are Onyx, Ruby and a Blue London( light blue stone)
Amanda’s Golden Locket with Floral Earrings
This was a very delicate set to make. I have never made a locket in my entire time creating jewelry so this was something fun and unique for me as a creator. I wanted to stand out from other lockets as there are soooo many in sl as it is. So i decided to prim work an etch design on the face of the locket, a flower with stem and leaves. Butterflies to compliment it. It is done in a gold and silver. It is scripted to hold varies pictures and very simple to use. It is held by a necklace that drops down past the collar bone with butterflies sitting on the sides of the necklace. This is also Size scripted.
the earrings are hoops with the delicate etching from the face of the locket inside the hoop. instead of facing sideways i have them facing out. So others can see them clearly.
Enjoy

New Release – Oro Cats Eye
Today I’ve cut prices on almost all the pearl collections as well as some older intricate works I have done. So check around the store on what Ive cut down to basically nothing. Some older sets and some new ones.
Today I’m releasing Oro (Gold) Cat’s Eye. This set is a rolex style chain (which by the way my hand and wrist now hate me for LOL that was hard ! ) with a center round surround with a ‘cat’s eye casting, a gold chain leading down to a bigger round in gold (the top one is too) Again surrounded with a cat’s eye casting.
The earrings are in a cresent shaped style long and set with a round cat’s eye stone. It’ in a chain style closely, you see I made one small crecent snug into the top of the larger one.
The Cuff is in a duel one. One cuff done in a bangle with rounds on the gold bangle, with a larger cuff style one with crecents on the ends with a row of cat eye stones. Again, I had planned a rolex style bracelet but I figured save it for another set “smiles”
The ring was made in art deco, costume style, with a large chunky ring with large ovals holding the cat’s eye stones in a L formation. This set is both art deco clashed with simplicity. It can be used as formal or as casual seen in the photos modeled by Nemasys Vargas.
This set will be done in a silver , not sure yet on what stone.
perms No copy, No mod and yes to Transfer.

When asked to explain my person expectations, well i had to really sit and think on this. how can i, a art supporter, and admirers of many artists even explain this, so.. let me begin by saying, My personal Expectations of a virtual artist are a bit radical then what most would probably do in any setting.
so let me first explain why I have these expectations, and why I feel them to be important in the setting we are in, here in the virtual realm.
First of all I do expect an exhibit to be prepared by the agreed date of opening that an artist and I decided on.
It is very important to keep a schedule so that the audience we are trying to reach will be at an opening and able to explore and perhaps ask questions of the virtual artist themselves. This way more people will see that there is more to a virtual realm then simply ‘social’ gatherings which I won’t go into, suffice it to say, by getting things going when we are suppose to can in many ways catch the attention of people who may later wish to support an artist themselves at a later time. It was the way I was introduced to the art world.
Also what I feel is important is for the theme to reach everyone who visits the installation on some level. i mean there are so many levels of the understanding of art that to reach an audience so drastic in lifestyles as well as their sense of what virtual is, will force an artist perhaps to be a lot more creative then the norm in order to transcend from real to virtual. A lot of individuals, who join a virtual platform, may not care for art at all, let alone virtual and may feel that Virtual art is not a true art form. By supporting the virtual arts with in Second life I hope with the cooperation of an Artist I support would change that thinking. I know on some level when I view art here, it has a personal translation to me; it’s not simply ‘pretty’.
One who sees something in virtual I would hope after visiting any exhibit, on my sims or any others will leave with a sense of understanding what was built on some level in their minds, a translation so to speak. Art in real life tends to be so much more obvious to art lovers, but in the virtual realm you want to bring that same sense to the individual who logs onto a pc and views this from their monitor and feel they have been touched by what they viewed on a similar level in comparison to that in real life.
So Creativity is my first expectation. For a Virtual artist to be completely free to work without limitations except a set opening date, and with one goal in mind. Create their environment, but have fun with it, and let it have a life so to speak of its own. Why? So others who visit the build can enjoy what they see and take with them an experience they can share with others.
This is where I feel immersive techniques can be very useful for future installations.
1. But that’s for another time to speak on. So to fully understand what I feel is important is these key points.
2. Reach the individuals who visit the installation, giving them some understanding of art form in the virtual world.
An experience they can share with friends and family.
3. And appreciate this type of art form as being unique and in its own way, true to the word Art.
So my lists of things I allow a Virtual artist who exhibits on my sims is the following,* because of course for the artist and I to achieve my expected outcome of the build itself, or installation, we must come to agreements and rules to make it all work.
Sharing any ideas of changes, or add on to the installation before or during the exhibit.
Also to provide me or my curator any information regarding previews and events that may take place on these installations.
What kind of installation it will be, and what is the name of it. For the exhibit to reach a wide range of individual, I’d like to know if it will be blogged about, or if either I or the artist will be interviewed. If there will be any photography site opened for the installation such as any flickr groups.
I expect the artist to speak and have a biography to be given out or otherwise information about their work be passed around to those viewing the exhibit.
I feel very strongly that an artist speak about what they are creating, and how they came to that idea at the opening of the Installation.
I do place the name of the installation on the description field of the land, so I ask prior to opening what that is, so it can be listed immediately.
I will not change the name of my sims, as I will politely say, that is my way of stating who the sponsor of the installation is. Although it is a topic that was brought up, I have done this so that it is obvious. Not solely for the reason of stating who the owner is, but also to have the proper questions directed to the owner, and artist.
Provide prim usage if needed, how long the space is available. In my case I have changed that. I guess it really depends on the build itself and how well accepted it is and how I feel about it.
How long will it take to set up and who has access to the sim during that time, and if estate rights are needed.
Exact date if possible of the opening event and it is very important that the artist attend.
If entertainment is desired, and who will arrange this or cover cost, and who’s involved in that. Although in most cases I will cover most of these costs, as I feel the artist should be left to create. In my case I have had this arranged by my curator, Calli Christensen. Whose organization of these events on my sims was exceptional.
How and where will the artist promote (to ensure coverage there is no multiple spamming of groups. )
Does the artist want to allow visitors to rez objects if so how will griefing or trash be dealt with?
Music stream if the artist wishes it. What kind and who will provide the URL
Will the artist want to hold regular events (example AM Radio had several events for his charity foundation that he supports) If they do, I wish to know what charity it is for and would like a URL provided to myself prior to the event, and given to the guests at the event.
Who will create poster images promotional text. Again this was done by my curator at majority of the openings. But for future venues i don’t expect her to provide these, perhaps another thing to think about in the art community, we do need more individuals who have experience with blogs, graphics and other skills to help sim owners promote and help artists who have very little time to do this on their own. Cost of this should be something discussed between sim owner and whom they contact to do these for them. I have noticed there is a great generosity when it comes to providing photography of the sims themselves by the average visitor.
To be kept informed of relevant information/details
If any machinia is being filmed on the sims i sponsor. I feel this is an important part of the installation itself, as credit I feel must be given to artist and sim owner. So permission I feel and condition should be explained before any machinima is being done well in advance. Also, I don’t want the artist disturbed if they are enhancing the installation, nor grant rez rights to just anyone.
We have seen this in many settings throughout second life, recognizing a sim, but no credit going to sim owners. In a sense, as a sim owner I feel a bit left out when no credit is given at all when something is filmed on my sim. This can be discouraging to any sim owner. The artist name should be mentioned as well, although I have not seen that as a problem.
As with AM Radios builds it was very popular, so this was a very valid thing to consider during his installations. I think the worst thing a sim owner can hear is “what a wonderful build you have here’ to the artist, and rarely is it asked who the owner is. I will give credit though to the artists I have sponsored, who were always quick to answer who sponsored the installation.
It is not an expectation, but more or less a courtesy to be mentioned, in any scenario be it a gallery of any kind, to sponsoring a sim for a major installation. As with any sponsor, The Land provided for an artist is something I don’t feel is mentioned enough and it should be, be it a company, or individual. I will go on and say yes its very costly to sponsor a sim, but most who enjoy arts will not have a problem, but I have seen, and myself felt at times that we are not acknowledge enough. but I will go on to say rarely have I encountered a problem, I have always been given credit in posts and photography.
I can see why the sponsorship is declining, but feel that if a fresh view is presented to a sponsor perhaps more individuals will feel … I guess the appropriate word here is proud of the part they played in a successful installation. I myself, in the previous installations that were closed recently, did feel as if I contributed in a way to the art community. Being thanked and invited to the various groups that were created for the photography, and in blogs. Perhaps these practices should be used for all sponsors, be it gallery owners or ones ready to donate their own parcel for a three day event, for example. If the one sponsoring feels important and given the right amount of credit, I do feel that more will be willing to provide more support to an artist.
I am not picking on any artist at all, but I can see why some art supporters out there feel as though they are not important enough. More and more providers now do expect more credit, but are often ignored.
If a simple notation be it on a famous photograph is given credit to an owner perhaps these art lovers will be more willing to give up their dollars and the land to continue supporting the virtual arts or an installation that second lifers have always loved, but the installation is now gone.
there is one important note i wish to add here, then im finished.
I believe its the little person who is really over looked majority of the time, when i say Little person i mean the individual who can only set up say a tiny parcel and dedicates their parcel to exhibit the few art pieces they can afford to put out.
Sure the larger sim owners need the attention too, because yea, they have the means to support larger venues but what needs to be worked on, is from the ground up. not from the top to the bottom. at one time i was just a little person starting at the bottom just like anyone else.
Granted i had a lot of art to exhibit and means to support the arts more, but to encourage this in others and motivate them, you need to show them in way that they matter too. In my eyes they are the backbone of sl virtual art. who does a new second lifer bump into first?
the second life general region areas, and there is where the basic smaller parcel owners matter the most and has the most potential to nuture the art world. without them, whose going to direct a potential supporter into the right direction to invest into the arts if they are interested in doing so?
So yes, one of the major things i feel should be given more thought if we want to gain more supporters, more interest in the arts, is to acknowledge these individuals.
the one working their tiny parcel in some unknown region in sl, and directs second lifers to bigger exhibits. and yes i know the gallery hud does this on so many levels, but i dont feel that is enough. Perhaps we all need to review this and find some way to not reward, thats not the right word, but to let those who do this know that their investment matters as much as say one like me who has multiple sims to and galleries to offer.
Notes on talk at Patron and Artists.
*Although as AM Radio commented there are far more artist now which makes it seem like land has diminished in a way, i agree to it to an extent. As i have said previous, if more parcel owners are approached as the huge sims owners are perhaps a bit more art will be available for the viewers of secondlife, and possibly talked about in blogs and twitter which seem to be the way of the future in the sense of communication.

Siempre Wedding Collection
“Por Siempre Amor, Te Amo” Tender words whispered to a fiancee before you slip that wedding band on her finger.
This collection was inspired by my wife, her compassion and her overwelming love. She loves to speak in spanish as do I but this set was truly named for her. She reminds me that always means well.. always.
This Wedding collection is done in a polished platinum, with both champagne and white diamonds. the Tear shaped Diamonds dangle both off the earrings, necklace, bracelet and tear drops off the tiara. The wedding band is almost dainty in its setting of eternity design on the bands and pave setting on the champagne diamonds with a princess cut on the top, with is held up by prongs, and is set in a again polished platinum.
Earrings are rather on the larger side, not too large and zig zag down to the pear shape drop. the design is take from the necklace drops.
The cuffs are in diamond, stacked in three chained together with a claps at the top of the wrist with a pear shaped diamond falling onto the hand.
I provided two, you can go with one on either hand or both.
The tiera is dainty, but the design does show very well with both an updo and hair down. just a simple adjusting of up and down will suffice.
NOTE: PLEASE READ BELOW
What i have learned is if you have a graphic card that is older then the 8500GT or Nvidea Equivilant (any version of 8500 or below, or graphic card that is similar) This set will NOT show how it was photographed or designed. If you have a graphic card that is not 8600 or above in either Nvidia or other, please IM me for a version with out the settings I used for this set.
If you bought the set already provide me with your trans history and send it back to me and i will gladly exchange it. No refunds.
To check what graphic card you have go to help / about Second Life. Your specs will be listed and simply look to see what graphic card you are using.
thank you
