BIG change!

I know you've been wondering why I haven't posted since May. I'm lazy, that's why. In addition to that, though, a lot has changed since my last post. The Alliance Virtual Library sold my lovely Only Yesterday sim, which meant that my nice big shop disappeared along with everything else that we created during the previous year and a half.

So ... Hallelujah Azul to the rescue! The new photo in the header on this blog is my fantastic new shop at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Hallelujah%20Azul/174/171/24. Same name, but a lot cozier and friendlier than the old place. You have to come see!

When you do, you will find many different features. First of all, I have totally redesigned the way my work is displayed. I got rid of the old multi-item vendors and replaced them with nice simple ones that each sell one outfit. No more slow rezzing, and no more confusion about which button to push. The new photos are great, too.

Moving to a smaller shop and using single-item vendors has meant displaying fewer items, of course, so I've started putting other things on XStreetSL. In addition to beautiful dresses, blouses, and skirts, you can find some of my household objects (like clocks) and a few of the vintage buildings from Only Yesterday. Just search for items by Rolig Loon. Oh, and you'll also find some cute heeled sandals in several colors. Let me know how you like them. I might start making more, who knows? Here are the ones in lilac ....

Finally, I just got around to creating a group so you can keep track of new items as I add them to the shop and XStreetSL. I've been meaning to do that for a long time, and several of you have been asking. So, if you want to join, use you in-world Search to find the Så Roligt! group, or just drop by the shop and click the sign by the front door.

BIG changes! Now I have more to write about, so maybe it won't be so long till the next time I post.

Whoa! It's been way too long since I posted anything here. Sorry about that. I ought to at least put up a few photos of fairly recent designs, so you can see that I haven't just been sleeping.

This first one is a lovely spring dress with a lilac print and a broad cumberbund. It flows very nicely and is just the thing for a May afternoon.

The next one is just as pretty, but more summery. You can't tell from the photo, but it has a deeper cut neckline and is a lot more relaxed than the lilac dress. The rose print is very soft and delicate.

I went nuts with plaids for a while too, and made a line of pleated skirts ... some ankle length and some, like this next one, knee length. Pleats are great fun to make and to wear (so long as you don't have to press them). I like this particular plaid because it's bright. I can wear this blue turtleneck sweater with it and be ready for cool evenings, or can wear my blue-gray silk blouse for the warmer afternoons.

The other two I'll post now are ones you may remember seeing before, but not for a while. This little black dress has always been a favorite of mine, and it has sold well. It's nice and simple ... off the shoulder and decorated with a wide bow at the hip. It makes a nice cocktail dress... just the thing for an evening of dancing.

The last one is another that you have seen, but I have modified recently. It's the 1930's style dress I called Hyacinth. I think it looks very elegant with this hat and white gloves, don't you?

OK, this wasn't a wordy post, but I hope you liked the photos. I'm thinking of opening a new shop and using this style of posters to show my work ... maybe this summer. If so, I'll be sure to post the SLURL here so you know where to come.
