The Iced Earth is now closed down

I have come to the conclusion that I have been spreading myself a little too thin with so many projects in Second Life. I should be having more fun and working less. So with that in mind, I am closing this blog.

Fear not, I will be around. Might even get more art done now that I have more time on my hands.

It is fitting that I should close the blog just a day before my third rezzday. Three years as an SL blogger.. quite a ride. I am excited to find out what awaits me in the future.

I am lucky to have found such amazing friends through SL. I have a family here. I am happy and content. I feel like I can stand on my own two feet in a way I may not have been able to when I joined, end of July, 2010.

I love seeing people flourish in what they do. The creativity I see every day in SL is very inspiring. I take on projects because I love building and creating as well as seeing what other people do. But one can not do everything all the time. So it is time to move on.

I wish all my readers the best for the future. Have a great August.

Expressions of the Mind

The feather pen from my mail art exhibit has a new life in the USC Gallery. On the right art by a tiny fox Pieni.

The gallery is on the top floor at USC Texture Tomb in Paradise Landing.

Aeon Art by Leather Aeon

Phoenix Unbound, by Kyler Collas

Temba's Gallery

The voting for official gallery logo is on the floor below the gallery.

Expressions of the Mind, USC Gallery, is a new free space for SL artists to showcase their work. Curated by Kyler Collas, the gallery features many different types of art. The only requirement is that sculptures are not too scripted or primmy. This is a great opportunity to share your vision at a popular location open for everyone. The artists can sell their art if they wish. There are still spaces available, make sure to take a look and contact Kyler Collas inworld for further information.

For artists and audiences alike, the gallery is free, but donations are welcomed to benefit the Make a Wish Foundation. For this purpose, there are going to be several donation kiosks around the space. By voting for your favorite logo you will be able to donate 1-4 lindens to the charity as well. Voting will be open for a couple more days. All donations go straight to the charity.

Oh night, oh night

You walk with fire in your eyes 
And never will I forget you. 
You carved your place in time,
and our hearts, - you have them, too. 

 It's never easy to express
all the loss and sadness felt.
You had a blessed voice in you
only to special people dealt. 

Miss you Meli.

 Poem by Alana Pyara

Sting with Cheb Mami (Algerian Arabic)

Desert Rose

Hadaee mada tawila 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti 
Wa ana nahos ana wahala ghzalti

Oh night oh night

It has been a long time
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one
And I am looking for myself and my loved one

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of fire

Those dreams are tied to a horse that will never tire
And in the flames
Her shadows play in the shape of a man's desire

This desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this

And as she turns
This way she moves in the logic of all my dreams
This fire burns
I realize that nothing's as it seems

I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain I dream of love as time runs through my hand
I dream of rain
I lift my gaze to empty skies above
I close my eyes

This rare perfume is the sweet intoxication of her love

Aman aman aman 
Omry feek antia 
Ma ghair antia 
Ma ghair antia 

Aman aman aman

My life is for you
And no one other than you
And no one other than you
I dream of rain
I dream of gardens in the desert sand
I wake in vain
I dream of love as time runs through my hand

Sweet desert rose
Each of her veils, a secret promise
This desert flower
No sweet perfume ever tortured me more than this
 Sweet desert rose
This memory of Eden haunts us all

This desert flower
This rare perfume, is the sweet intoxication of the fall

Ya lili ah ya leel

Oh night oh night

Moments in time

I wanted a new blog for a while, and today the inspiration hit me. This is going to be more of a diary of moments in time, not a fashion blog or a guide to SL.
