....with Radio Signals being the mastermind behind it all, as far as I could see....but...
... you don't get to see much. Not that that is a criticism, part of the point of setting white builds against white backdrop is the way shapes etc merge. ColeMarie did some last year and I have done a white build as well, so nothing radical there. It is trendy and striking for the first few minutes, then annoying and I lost interest quite quickly, maybe I wasn't in the mood.
Have a look...here.
I have been very critical of collab builds in the past so I wouldn't want anyone to think I was singling out this build, which is obviously a lot of work and effort....but..
...a shed load of objects, distributed round a sim needs more 'glue' than just being all the same colour, in my opinion. I have always tried, as a rule, to ask the question "if you lost one item would the Whole suffer?" as a way of determining the strength of the 'glue'.... I was glad there was no theme, and I welcome the idea of 'setting a stage'....
I thoroughly enjoyed the non-art-perfomance of Big Ramer at my local sand pit. Watching a fox build a speedboat is my sort of thing....
The Slipper Orchid...
...and the Cappuccino Vine I have rebuilt in InWorldz which is about to be pleasantly invaded by 12 sims of Elves. Elf Spirit Lands is taking on 12 'regions' which is over half a million prims......cool......more tree huggers.
..and the highlight of my week, tho RL dragged me kicking and screaming away (was in that sort of a mood this week) , was listening to the beautiful voice of Colemarie Soleil yesterday...sweet...
All in all, a very eventful week, and the decision to give up soror Nishi Beach was one I mulled over for a long time...still... life goes on....

Hmm...you kno, having never seen your beach I must visit before this coming week is up.
ReplyDeleteI want to always be able to say, "I remember when".
I think we will have to have a party next saturday....
ReplyDeleteYes, please do -- I've never seen the beach, either.
ReplyDeleteYay! Party!
ReplyDeleteWhat strikes me about the Blur show is that I recognize very few names on the list. I really must get out more.
And what you said about collaboration and "theme shows" really struck home with me. I posted some ideas about that on my blog at FreeWee
Yep, party it will have to be.... good blog, FreeWee...xxxx
