my donation item! 100% of the proceeds go towards  Médecins Sans Frontières. This is a special version only available on this color. Aside from the color this is a versatile item, which means you can play around with the parts in order to make a dress or a top!!! Use your creativity! <3

This is not a donation item but a more simpler version of the dress. Available in two color

SL has been a great place for me to explore my fashion personality… RL makes me go very retro, classic with a bit of punk flare… SL… oh well.. Love breaking ALL the rules. Mixing everything!

More colours will be released in the future, this is a preview!
If you have any colour suggestion drop your thoughts.

UPDATED: All the pictures were on gyazo and apparently they weren’t loading. Hopefully now everything will be visible.

I’m addicted to Ombre! Ombre clothing, Ombre hair… ombre everything… I even got it on my RL hair and it is super fun! So I am showing a easy tutorial on how to bring ombre to your SL pics (and why not RL pics as well?).

1- open the image you wish to use. Do your basic editing procedures (I’m keeping the edit on this one VERY basic )

2- Go to:  and click:  . Then select Hue/Saturation.

3 – change your value removing as much color as you wish.

4- Then also on  select curves. On curves move the ‘curve’ to the desired level. Moving the curve on the bottom to the right makes the image darker and moving it on the top to the left will make it lighter.

5- now comes the fun part. On  select gradient. Now think about the colors you want to use and also how many.

The box with the color (in this case pink) is the color edit box, there you can select the color you want to use. The style shows how the gradient will look overall, for ombre effect Linear will work best. Angle will change where the effect start, at 90º starts on the bottom and -90º will start on the top.

6- click on 

There’s a few custom presets that you can choose to use, but creating your own is very easy as well. Let me explain how it works.

 Those black and white points stand for opacity. If is white is 100% transparent, while black will be the other way around. 50% grey will be half/half.

 the keys on the bottom are for the colours and you can customize it as you wish.

If you want to add any other colors (more than two) just click on the area where you want to add that other color.

 this is my chosen color scheme. you don’t loose anything by playing around with the sliders, and is always the best way to learn it yourself. You also have a new button on the top in case you want to save your settings to use on future pictures. Click OK to apply the gradient to your picture.

you picture would look something like this. And if you still want something extra to it play around with the layers settings. 

I’ve chosen Linear burn. Have fun. And share those ombre pics! I want see them.

As soon as I opened the subscribo hair from Exile I thought about the Spice Girls! So I put on my funk and played around with some colors.. as fun. <3 The hair is mesh! So make sure you log in to a Mesh compatible viewer.

This photo is from my last post and the effect was made in PS. It only takes a few steps. Are you ready?

1- Take an inworld picture (see High Quality photos tutorial)

2- Proceed with edition. (photoshop basics tutorial)

3- after you pic is all edited is time for the fun part.

4- Search for a Vignette type image (if it includes some scratches, shadows, etc, even better) and paste it over your image.

5- Change image opacity to 50% (or a number of your preference) 

6- Zoom in the area where you want to place your heart (or any other symbol). Select the eraser tool and choose a brush with a ‘dust effect’ .

7- Lightly trace the hear shape. Don’t worry about perfection. Is suppose to be made with your finger. Do some random spots with the eraser around your shape.

8- Select a new type of brush for your eraser. Round, firm, sharp.

9- Re-draw over the heart shape.

 

I’ve finally put out my micro collection and feel happy about it! I hope you guys enjoy and I seriously now admire people who put huge collections together in SL. :O I am wearing the skirt part from my Oh,Valentina Dress, along with a shirt that’s part of the Spring Collection from LWL.
