Siren Calling

Hello!

Me again. Yes, really me, I haven't been hacked, I just got my shit together more quickly than usual.

LOTS of news for you this time. First up, there is a NEW Evelock Studio! How exciting is that? I have more space and the layout is a lot simpler. Go upstairs for furniture and stay downstairs for everything else. Please do drop by and have a nosey, I'd love to hear what you think of the new place. Click the link over on the right there for a SLURL, or just click here.

So, I have another new release for you! The Siren range from Evelock is a co-ordinated complete outfit comprising a shot silk gown with gem embellishments, a pair of shoes and a jewellery set. I have also included the corset separately so you can wear it with jeans or leggings.

As is so often the way, the Siren range started out with a tiny idea and grew and grew and grew. It has been growing for so long that I can't remember why I chose the name Siren, but I still love it and I think it captures the slinkiness of the garment.

I was inspired by some gems and wanted to create something that was organic and asymmetric but still glamorous. This led to the jewellery happening.

 Then I found a dress mesh that I loved and thought it would work nicely with a shot silk effect, and it did! Then I decided it needed a little more oomph, and tried the siren jewellery shapes... and that worked too! Thus was the Siren dress born.

Some wrestling with colour combinations later, naturally I decided the dress needed shoes to match...

... this is entirely normal. I start out with a small, gentle, easy to do idea and wind up with a massive collection of things!

Shot silk is one of my very favourite fabrics in real life. That magical effect when the light hits the material from a different angle and the navy suddenly flashes turquoise! I have used the Advanced Lighting Model in Second Life to recreate the shot silk effect. You do need ALM to be on to see the light playing across the dress and the shoes, but I promise it's worth it!

I have created 11 combinations that I love, but if you're the creative type and comfortable with the standard edit menu, have a play with the tint on the specular layer and see if you can come up with a personal combination of tint over base that delights you, but please take a copy first in case you mess it up!

The 11 colours are:

Blacklight - a Black base with a strong violet overlay
Blush - a strongish pink with a blue overlay
Bronze - a bronze colour with a yellow overlay
Copper - a copper colour with an orange overlay
Forest - a deep green with a lime overlay
Ice - a pale blue with a strong turquoise overlay
Peacock - a navy base with a strong turquoise overlay
Scarlet - a deep crimson with a bright scarlet overlay
Snow - the palest possible blue with a violet overlay
Steel - a steel grey base with a blue overlay
Ultraviolet - a rich purple base with a hot pink overlay

I had such a blast creating this range, I hope you enjoy wearing it. Right now, you can get your hands on it by visiting my friend Kika's sim, Strict Venus (blog here)and taking advantage of the exclusive pre-release special offer of 25% off, for one week only. Hurry, hurry, hurry that is only seven days! Technical details after the break. For now, thank you for your time, I hope all your lives are treating you well,

Bright Blessings,

Eve :)

Gosh, it's been a while, better have a new release then!

Hello! Isn't it mad how quickly time just up and disappears when you're not looking? No? Just me?

Okay then. Anyway, I live on the Raven Park sim, a glorious place, and we have a dance every couple of weeks. There is usually a theme that requires costuming of one sort or another, and on occasion, I just FAIL to find something that works and wind up making it myself. One such event occurred recently and the end result is my new release (yes I know, you were wondering when I would get to the point, well, here it is).  Out now both in-world (clickable links to the SLURLS just up there, look, on the right) and on Marketplace, the BACH DRESS has arrived.

The Bach Dress is designed for those times you want to feel just a bit elegant, without any fuss. It has just enough flesh on show to make you feel sexy, but this dress is unquestionably classy and elegant. Simple enough to go anywhere and friendly for most footwear.

Please do stop by and say hello to the kitties, if you keep them distracted they may not, after all, destroy my fabrics cupboard!

Onto the dresses!

Prints inspired by rich cultural history, you will find damask, celtic and hints of jacobean in this set.

Prints inspired by flowers and trees, in gently muted tones. Nothing loud or brash here.

We all need a little bit of sparkle sometimes, and this is it. Subtle, classy, understated with just enough pizzazz to make you feel special.

So that's that for now. LOTS of exciting stuff coming up in the frighteningly near future, including the 5th (FIFTH!!!) Femdom Hunt - which of course Evelock is delighted to be a part of again. After all that frantic activity I think I will just go and sit by the pond for a while and relax while I watch the dragonflies gad about.

I hope all your lives are treating you well,

Bright Blessings,

Eve :)

I Aten't Dead Yet!

With apologies to Granny Weatherwax, I am delighted to announce that after a bit of a quiet spell, things are moving again on the Evelock front. How about a BRAND NEW STORE, with 3 floors? How about a NEW PRODUCT too? I am happy indeed to bring you both of those.

First, let's look at the new store:

Pretty nifty, eh? I have to confess I'm very excited about it. Some poor souls had to endure my snarls of frustration while I got to grips with the monster that is mesh, and especially the Physics aspect of that; but, with help (especially from Antony) I cracked it and made my own shop!  Built over three floors, it is larger, easier to cam around and move about in, with room for more products. And I added another Lucky Board, to give you a 33% better chance of your letter coming up. So, I guess I had better get busy then.

Three floors can get confusing in a store, so to help out, there is a handy sign just inside the door to show you where to find things. I also avoided that whole first floor confusion that exists, aren't I clever? (Just please don't ask what I'll do when I have four floors!) :

So, the new product. This was previously only available as a 25 for 25 special, which has now sold out, so can be let loose as a main release. The Splash Pool Float is just that... a float for lazing around on in your pool or pond.  Colourchange and loaded with 4 menus, you should be able to find your bliss fairly quickly:

I think that's all for now. Please do stop in and have a peek at the new store and let me know what you think. You can get your hands on the Pool Float on marketplace, or in-world in any of the usual places.

I hope your lives are treating you well, Bright Blessings

Eve :)
