Dark Moon.

Nepherses Amat is a true Virtual World biologist in that she understands about virtual flora, or Flora Virtua Exotica as I have called it on many occasions...



Just as the importation of RL houses and cars can be seen as a rather pathetic attempt to surround new pioneers in a foreign world with items from the Old Country, like comfort blankets..... so too are the attempts to grow species native to RL in this environment.




Nepherses has sought out those native plants that will thrive and created an ecosystem which is in harmony, and now a greenhouse too..... as Nyx Breen has in InWorldz. Neph has catalogued the workings of the ecosystem here.... as I have posted before.




Indigenous is a great word.

...anyway.... This from Dark Moon....

"Greetings and Salutations Dark Moon Spirits & Visitors~

I am happy to report that my research team has complied an exhibition of some of the endemic plant life of Dark Moon's Bog. Please note that these plants have volunteered to teach us, and to stay here in the atrium for short periods of time so that Dark Moon guests can understand how important each plant's role is in the ecosystem. Please click on each plant, and the seed pod to learn more.

My research team is still investigating other life forms here at Dark Moon. Hopefully, we will know more soon!

Also note, we have recently found that the vibrational level of the loving plants actually increase psychic ability in avatars! Prolly humans too! So now we are proud to introduce Teresa John, a tarot reader of some renown. Teresa will be reading cards up on the mezzanine of this atrium periodically while the exhibition stands. Please contact her if you would like a reading"

and...about those readings....

"teresa John is one of the best Tarot Card readers in SL. Not only is she guided by The Goddess and God but she is Honest when she interprets the Tarot. Anyone can tell you what you want to hear. She will tell you what you need to hear.

If you would like a little light shed on your future and are interested in a reading the rates are as follows :

3 Card - 100L
Horsehoe- 250L
Cross - 500L

Send teresa John an IM or NC for an appointment and be ready for the truth to be revealed."

Well, photos of the atrium above...and the LM is ...here.

...and it's always a pleasurable place to visit and learn of how our world looked before the Lindens cleared the land of it's natural vegetation and overgrazed the land with goats .... leading to the sorry state of the soil today, poor sand and weak grass being all that will grow until nurtured.

A recommended visit.

In No Particular Order...: Stuff.

Busy and lazy by turns this weekend.

Here are a few things which I have sort of filed up ready to post and never quite got round to...




Firstly... well, Dotti made it over to InWorldz at last and, though she isn't for sale quite yet, she will be... she's currently holding up one of my platforms so it don't fall..:))




SaveMe, "sponsored by UWA and Pirats", has found a novel way of displaying art, she was here seen wearing her own gallery. As the evening progressed the photos got less PG, ending with "Unwanted Guest", a show which, although I photographed, I figured would have taken too much time to censor as so many organs were on display ....(we aint talking church organ here).




Dark Moon I visited last week at the invitation of Nephases Amat. Neph has long been a friend and customer and she has a good collection of Flora Virtua Exotica by myself and a number of other SL plant artists all woven into an intricate ecosystem.




This is well worth a visit and you'll need Neph to tell you how the symbiosis works....




I had to show you this, by Gingered, on show at UWA.... has to be seen 3D tho, really...

...and I did some work with Rose a while back and she has published the vid , my stuff is about half way thro...




If you don't know the rest of the story "Why is there something?"..it's worth checking it out. Pure genius, I think.


More stuff later ... have a good week...
