Just one more day of Hot Summer!

Hot summer days that last forever...
Hot summer nights that never end...
The colors are bright, intense and sizzling. Light is everywhere, reflections burning, ideally offset by water, water and more cool water.

Summer Eyes 6Pack of "Hot Nights" - that's what you can nab for a mere L$1 in the Hot Summer III hunt at Sterling Artistry. But you've gotta hurry, because summer doesn't last forever and the hunt wraps up August 31!

Rez Day Mini-Hunt! Today Only!

On my profile, SL will tell you my Rez Day was August 1, 2008. That *is* the day I first logged into SL, so quite right. But *I* think of my *real* Rez Day as being August 8, because I took that first week to just look around, learn how to use the interface, explore and consider whether or not I wanted to even bother with this virtual world thing. In my explorations, I found an AKK horse that I immediately fell in love with, then realized if I were going to own a horse, I'd reasonably have to provide some land for it. So on August 8, I gave SL a bunch of money, then sussed out some land in Porcupine where I could rez my horse, and my Second life was truly born. (That first week was simply gestation.) ;)

So, today August 8, 2013, marks my 5th SLirthday (err...), and to celebrate, I'm holding a mini-hunt in the Sterling Artistry mainstore. I've hidden five silver numeral "5"s for L$1@ around the shop, each "5" containing something yummy, including a couple things that aren't available as yet. The "5"s are not too hard to find, but it all ends at midnight, so today is the day!

Simply the Best Hunt Prize!

Simply the Best Hunt (until August 15) is a great opportunity to get the best outfit or animation or accessories almost free. This is a No Hint Hunt, just look for the blue HEART with the "Simply the Best" LOGO and get your wonderful item for only L$10!

At Sterling Artistry, this means a savings of over L$700! I know, I totally lost my mind, but for Simply The Best, I figured it really should be...the BEST!

Diversity Eyes 12PACK contains all twelve colors of the series: Divergence, Heterogeneity, Medley, Multifarious, Multiplicity, Variety, Assortive, Distinctive, Hybrid, Mélange, Motley and Variance. This series includes scripted mesh and prim versions along with the system eyes. The multi-pack lets you change color in a click, requiring fewer objects in inventory.

The options in the new generation scripts include 7 of the most popular eyeball sizes as presets (providing instant fits for Petites to Giants). Fine-tuning adjustment is also available for custom sizes, making them right for nearly every avatar. Additionally, you can select from 4 iris sizes, ranging from beady to anime. Plus two levels of Glow.

Hunt down this deal while you can; it won't be repeated.

One Last Chance!

This is the final weekend of Relay For Life 2013, so we've put out the five exclusive eyes that were only available at Fantasy Faire in April. If you missed them there, you have these last days to snatch them up and support RFL at the same time!

The exclusive eyes are Komodo Eyes in Wisdom Sage, Fantastical Eyes in Clarity andEnergetic, Dragon Eyes in Regal Gaze, and Diabolique Eyes in Putrid. Fundraising for RFL in 2013 has been the only reason for their existence, and when this weekend ends, these eyes are gone.

These are 100% donation items, assigned for the teams of Fantasy Faire, Friends Fighting Cancer and Foundation Organization for Life. Great donation and great eyes; win-win-win!

Equality Eyes @Second Pride Festival (ends Sunday!)

Sterling Artistry Equality Eyes celebrate the ideal of persons being respected in equal measures regardless of sexual orientation, gender identity or body plumbing.

Equality Eyes belong to the new generation eyes (Mesh, Prim & System) which are menu-driven for 7 preset eyeball sizes plus fine-tuning, to fit avatars from micro/Petites to giant/Colossal and everything in-between. The menu also provides a selection of 4 iris sizes and 2 glow levels.

The series is divided into "loud" and "soft," a degree of how boldly the message is presented and the possibility for an expression of an underlying orientation. The new mesh (and prim) versions offer the ability to have all 12 colors in a single object pair, reducing inventory clutter.

Equality Eyes are now available - at a discount! - at Sterling Artistry's shop @Second Pride Festival, which ends June 23. They can be had individually, as a 6Pack, or in the full 12Pack.

True Eyes @Second Pride Festival!

Sterling Artistry True Eyes were made to celebrate the courage and strength of those who know and embrace their gender regardless of exteriors. The eyes are sleek, with realistic coloration while the pupil is adorned with a powerful transgender symbol - plainly visible to anyone who gets close enough, but virtually invisible to those who do not.

True Eyes are of the new generation eyes - Mesh, Prim & System - which are menu-driven for 7 preset eyeball sizes plus fine-tuning, to fit avatars from micro/Petites to giant/Colossal and everything in between. The menu also provides a selection of 4 iris sizes and 2 glow levels.

True Eyes are now available - at a discount! - at Sterling Artistry's shop @Second Pride Festival, until June 23. They can be had individually or as a 6Pack.  

Come visit us at the Festival for True Eyes, Diversity Eyes, Jewelry, Pride Eyes, free gifts and more!

Diversity Eyes @Second Pride Festival!

Sterling Artistry Diversity Eyes are very diverse! While all of my eye textures are filled with a variety of colors (even a "solid blue" is not really "solid"), Diversity Eyes crank it up to extreme variations of colors within colors while still succeeding at looking quite natural when worn. All the better to express a sense of diversity, avoiding sameness and breaking out of the box, having courage to show your own array of colors.

Diversity Eyes have been upgraded to the new generation combo of Mesh, Prim & System which are menu-driven for 7 preset eyeball sizes plus fine-tuning, to fit avatars from micro/Petites to giant/Colossal and everything in-between. The menu also provides a selection of 4 iris sizes and 2 glow levels. The series has also been expanded from 6 to 12 colors, and the new mesh (and prim) versions offer the ability to have all 12 colors in a single object pair, reducing inventory clutter.

Diversity Eyes are now available - at a discount! - at Sterling Artistry's shop @Second Pride Festival, until June 23. They can be had individually, as a 6Pack, or in the full 12Pack.

There is also an additional color, Multif, exclusive to the Second Pride Festival event, acting as a fundraiser for Second Pride (and it's also at a discounted price). Find this azure/orchid/mint/gold combo in the brightly colored vendor at the entrance to the shop. When the Festival is over, Multif will be packed away forever, so pick it up while you can!

Pride Eyes @Second Pride Festival

Sterling Artistry Pride Eyes were designed to celebrate the diversity and courage of those who discover that love is not merely found between a man and a woman, but with any combination of either or both genders, and whether gender is of the body or of the heart.

Pride Eyes have been upgraded to the new generation combo of Mesh, Prim & System which are menu-driven for 7 preset eyeball sizes plus fine-tuning, to fit avatars from micro/Petites to giant/Colossal and everything in-between. The menu also provides a selection of 4 iris sizes and 2 glow levels.

Pride Eyes are now available - at a discount! - at Sterling Artistry's shop @Second Pride Festival, until June 23. They can be had individually or as a 6Pack.  

Come visit us at the Festival!

Second Pride Festival has begun!

Sterling Artistry is pleased to be part of Second Pride Festival 2013, which is open until June 23. A lot of new goodies were created in theme for this event, and I'll make several posts this week to highlight them. All the festival items are offered with discounted prices, so it's a good time to catch a great bargain on these new items. There are also a couple gifts in the Sterling Artistry Second Pride Festival shop free for the taking, plus a hidden hunt prize (scroll down for a preview)!

The new jewelry released for the Festival is not strictly LGBTQ, but should find appeal with a wide variety of genders/orientations. I find I'm really enjoying building and scripting jewelry, so you'll be seeing a lot more of it coming from Sterling Artistry.

The Yin-Yang Medallion necklace is scripted for 8 color changes, to coordinate to your mood of the moment or whatever you're wearing. The Rainbow Yin-Yang necklace (and the matching earring set) are scripted for 11 different metals, including silver, gold, titanium and copper, plus a rainbow selection of metallic colors and also black metal.

The "orientation series" of Chained Charm Mouthies need no scripting to look great. Pick a symbol that best expresses your flavor of orientation and wear it with style.

Also, don't miss the festival's Rainbow Road treasure hunt, which utilizes an interactive HUD. Hunters will visit each participating vendor and search for a hidden star. All hunt gifts are sent to the hunter once they find all the stars. Many of the festival merchants are taking part in this, including Sterling Artistry. Our gift is the casual LGBTQ Knots necklace, scripted for eight color groups (including the all-inclusive rainbow), plus resizing. Find the star, and the necklace is yours for free!

Be sure to visit the  Sterling Artistry Second Pride Festival shop at Second Pride Festival!
