For those that don’t know there is a fantastic little tool called TinEye, rather than typing in words to find something you can enter an image! TinEye then trawls the internet and tries to find a match!

We all want to credit and link back to photos, textures and images that we blog, pin or use creatively, or that picture you downloaded a long time ago and have lost the original source for, just add the image to TinEye and find out where that image came from.

“It’s also great for researching or tracking the appearance of an image online, finding higher resolution versions of an image or for locating web pages that make use of an image you have created and for discovering modified or edited versions of an image.”

It’s not perfect but it’s growing each month, adding more images, certainly worth bookmarking and checking out the FAQ’s.

MudHoney is lustful at the Festival of Sin, running now until March 3rd. There you will find the new Taylor Bed, a bed packed with animations including 15 adult animations. This neutral toned bed will fit in with any decor and is certain to help you explore your own inner lust. Not feeling lusty? There is also a PG version of Taylor waiting for you at the festival.

MudHoney is located in the Lust section. The festival sim is Adult, so you must be age verified in order to attend, and there is a sim limit of 40 avatars along with script limits in place. We promise, it’s worth it! Visit the Festival of Sin to explore the seven deadly sins.

The Festival of Sin is open…I haven’t been yet. I like to wait for the crowds to die down a bit. I have been seeing pics and peeks of some of the festival items, though, and I’ll definitely be stopping by. One of the most exciting things I’ve seen so far is the new mesh house from Cory Edo of Trompe Loeil: the Ka’u Beach Skybox. Thankfully, Cory sent out a blogger copy of the house so I’ve already had a chance to check it out up close and in person, just the way I like it.

Oh. Em. Gee.

This was one of those times when I just walked around and around inside the skybox saying “seriously??” in an awe-stricken whisper. The texturing, shading, and lighting are perfect, which makes my snobby little heart just soar. As always, I have SL shadows turned OFF, so what you’re seeing is the absolute truth.

Seriously?? Look at those shadows!! And the recessed lighting in the ceilings = love. The K’au comes partially furnished, and there’s still plenty of room to add your own pieces…but not TOO much room, which you know I love, so you can still keep things kinda cozy.

I love how open the house is…it gives such a tropical feel. Remember that this IS a skybox; this whole setup is inside a giant black box, so privacy isn’t an issue. Speaking of tropical, the coolest thing about the skybox is that it comes with its own ocean. Seriously.

It’s a gorgeous view off those lovely balconies. Of course, you can’t see in the pic, but the ocean texture is animated and really gives the impression of gentle, shimmering waves. ♥

As mentioned at the start, this house is mesh, so you have to be on a mesh-enabled viewer in order to see it properly. Of course, you’re all already using a mesh viewer, though, right. RIGHT??

The Ka’u Skybox is being offered at an introductory price of $L999, only for the duration of the Festival of Sin. I think that is a steal for a house as well done and detailed as this. So…you know what to do. GO.

A new release of the Maximus Modern Home, a smaller and cosier variation of the Madison Home! Less grand, much more compact. I personally prefer the Maximus because I tend to get claustrophic/lost in larger homes. I really like the one-storey layout of this place, and the pretty pool at the side. Cosy, perfectly arranged little place in comparison to the grander Madison, but still cutting-edge modern and in line with all of ARIA’s interior design. Complemented perfectly by full sets of ARIA furniture, choose to buy it ready-furnished or not!

Hi! The Festival of Sin started yesterday and I was lucky enough to grab a spot.  I chose the sin “Sloth” and wanted to center the theme around my favorite thing in the world to do, sleep.

I’ve created a bed with two versions, white and wood.  There are texture change options for the bedspread and headboard.  I’ve also included four light bulbs with varying cord lengths and a framed poster.

More details on the festival can be found here.

Have a fantastic weekend!

Hi!

It's time for Collabor88 again and the theme this month is classic novels. The LISP theme of 1984 meets Clockwork Orange unfortunately went tits up when the computer died, taking work (and me Skyrim file waaa) with it. However, we have out a classic telly which plays the public domain version of 1984 as well as other classics from the Youtube film channel. The set has quite a "Madmen" feel to it I think?

More info:

Vintage tv comes in 10 colour options. Dispenses popcorn to eat. 7 single interact with tv/watch anims with 9&9 sits for friends (seats 2). On/off switch and channel changer plays 6 machinima clips. Also included is a Youtube tv, which plays 7 vintage movies (via Youtube's film channel) and has the option to play any film or clip of choice.

Sofa & chair come with 7 colour options and 12 cushion options, rug and drapes have several texture options.

All items are 88L only at Collabor88 Feb

In addition, there are only a few more days to purchase the memories of winter chair at Atelier Kreslo before it is gone forever.  A new set of designers will be debuting their chair very soon.

Have an amazing weekend!

MudHoney is participating in Juicy’s Crush on You event from February 10th through 18th. The event features over 40 brands with exclusive Valentine’s Day themed items. Inspired by Valentine’s Day, but suitable for year-round use is MudHoney’s Juliet Chair. This chair is packed with animations for singles, couples, and families. There are also garlands, wreaths, and wall art available at the event from MudHoney.

MudHoney recently switched group subscribing systems so if you were previously a member, you will definitely want to visit MudHoney and resubscribe. There’s a special gift in the subscriber for members, so resubscribe today!

Emery Milneaux of [Commoner] sent me a package of his Valentine’s releases to check out. That made me happy, because Emery makes silly and cool stuff. I may ask him to be my Valentine.

If you’re looking for something more traditional, Commoner has some very pretty flowers and chocolates (mmmm)…

…AND, as you can see, there are less traditional items available, too. That’s James in the glasses, the first plushie in a series of limited edition plushies. He’s meant to be worn, but I just think he’s so precious posed next to the voodoo doll. Ahh, the spirit of St. Valentine. That’s the Voodoo Doll Frame on the right – you can slide your own pic into the frame, AND just click the doll for extra pins to stick in, if that’s more to your purpose.

Emery also has wearable Conversation Hearts — you know, the little candy hearts with the stamped messages — I tried out just a few out of the approximately 845 available. Seriously, there are A LOT.

The hearts range from cute and sweet to naughty and nasty…something for everyone!

Be sure to stop by Commoner to grab your Valentine’s goodies! [SLurl]

Speaking of goodies…

Be sure to check out the Home & Garden Valentine’s Hunt on Saturday! This is just a one day hunt, filled with home & garden prizes from all the shops listed above, so it’s a great chance to grab some decorating bargains! The hunt is going to wrap up with a party, too – sounds like a great way to spend your SL Saturday!

Great set of soft Neutral Blend cotton fabric textures, brought to life with a coordinating range of ticking, pinstripes, plaids, checks and square patterns.

The soft Neutral Blends are an ideal resource for adding depth to a design, be it a jacket and tailored trousers for a suit or a dining table with a natural linen table cloth, napkins and chair covers, throw a few up on the walls for a textured wallpaper, mix and match! Shaded and seamless!  Perfect for craft blog backgrounds too!

Made from “organic” linen of course ;)

I was invited to be a guest this month in Collabor88, the theme was "classic novels" so I drew inspiration from "Lord of the Flies", a novel by William Golding.  There are a lot of really awesome things out right now at Collabor88 so if you haven't been yet you should definitely go!
