IT'S ALMOST HERE! *SQEEEE!*

The Spring in the Air hunt is only 2 DAYS AWAY! Are you excited? I am! :)  Don't forget to swing by the shop for your free AKC products! This gift has never been seen or sold in SL before! Come by and get your's!  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Bali/221/55/652
If you click the sign at my store, you'll get the landmark to the start of the hunt. There are only 100 exclusive shops in this hunt, so it will be really easy. Plus, we have rules for vendors that will keep the prizes from being hidden in obscure places that would normally take you an hour to find! There is also a free low lag hunting outfit available. Just click on the back in front of the sign outside the store! Happy hunting and more importantly, HAVE FUN!

Several Updates...

     So, I've updated/added a couple things for the shop to fill a couple blank vendors I had after combining a few things together.  
     The swimsuits are brand spankin' new.  I wanted to have something that was simple and easy to wear without a lot of flash.  Just a couple simple styles of speedo style swimsuits. One with striped colors the other, a more modest solid tone.  


This Canvas Beach Outfit, you might recognize if you've ever been to my store earlier. I've updated it.  It was one of my earliest models of clothes I made, and my skills and SL visual updates have pretty much made it obsolete.  So, now, of course, you can get it with a sculpted prim collar.  The shirt itself is completely redone to fit better and have better trimming.  Also, the shirt is on multiple layers just in case you want to wear something else with it.  


So, that's it for now.  Nothing too major, but enough for a post. :) LOL. Ok..that's all for now. See you soon!

Another choker....

Well, made another one. I've seen guys wearing this all the time, especially in the summer time. I think I'll make more KINDA like it. You know the ones I mean.  I also think I'll make one that looks like a full sea shell strung together around the neck.  But, ANYWAY, we're talking about this one...
It's a black and white broken shell choker necklace.  I love the way this looks when I'm just wearing shorts.  It seems so summery.  And, I love summer, so it works. LOL.  The shell pieces are a sculpty that I made.  I think it looks pretty dang accurate.  But, I'll let you be the judge.  Hope you like it.  That's it for now. TTFN.

New Updates...

So, I was looking around my store and thinking "You know...some of these pics are soooo old...I should update them".  Then I thought "Well, you know...it's silly to only have one of the four mesh shirts colorable...I should make them ALL colorable"...THEN I started thinking, well, if I'm going to update THOSE, I should go ahead and update the striped sweater since I noticed the stripes weren't lining up the way I wanted them to.  Soooo...yeah...I went nuts yesterday.



I'm also going through the store and making sure that all the shirts are on all the layers (Undershirt, Shirt, and Jacket).  Of course, only where it makes sense. I'm not going to make an undershirt layer for something designed as a jacket.  But, people might want to wear a jacket or another shirt over my shirt. Which is fine...and I want them to be able to do that.  
On top of all that, I want to go ahead and update ALL my products with my new bag. I know...I know...not REALLY necessary, but I'm such a perfectionist. I can't help myself. Here's what the new bag looks like.
So, yeah...I've been a busy boy.  Looks like if I really want to get it to where I really want it...I'm going to busy for the next couple of days. If I make any more big changes, of course, I'll mention it here. :) Laterz!

I'll get back to clothes, I promise...

I'm just really excited about this new line of jewelry. Which reminds me...HAHA..I need to send a notecard out to my loyal fan base in the Subscribe-o-matic. Duh. 
ANYWAY...so I made a couple new ones...
This is just a simple wood bead choker. I like the simple jewelry. I always thought jewelry should ACCENT the clothes your wearing, not BE the clothing. :) It's simple and looks great with just a t-shirt and pair of shorts.  It also looks great with the button down shirt at AKC. (It's not shameless promotion...this WHOLE BLOG is shameless self promotion. HA!)




This was a request by Traci. She wanted a hemp anklet.  I thought it was a great idea. I basically took the same concept as the original neck choker and made it the circumference of the ankle.  I COULD add texture changing scripts to this so that the beads change color. I might update it later and do that. But, for now, it's modifiable, so anyone can add their own texture to the beads if they want to change them.
Well, that's it for NOW. :) I DO have another one I just made, but I'm not ready to upload it for sale yet. It's a shell choker. I'll upload pics here as soon as it's ready for sale. Prolly tomorrow because it's late here.  So, without any further ado, I'm going to bed. Night ya'll. :)



Something simple for the fur-types...

It was fairly easy. The hardest part was making the paw look right and be connected. You know, real paw prints don't connect because of the space around the toes.  But, what-evah...I think it looks cute and fun.  Show your furry love and get one today!  er..or Neko...er Kitsu...what's the generalization of all anthromorphs from neko to full furry? hehe. Anyway, enjoy. That's all for now.

ok..one more for the night....

Ok, so I was goofing around and went ahead and made yet another one today. LOL. Here's a beaded silver chain choker in Pride/Rainbow colors.  I wanted something simple but fun. It goes with any outfit! :)  It's rather simple, but I really liked the way the beads fit together in the front with the ring around the colored beads.  Simple, yes? Well, like I said, it was a quick thing. That's it for now. :)

New Necklaces are up for sale!

So, I have a couple new necklaces up in vendors at the store:
This one is Hematite Beads with a Cross Pendant.  It's accented with gold bead sporatically through the chain.
This is a Hemp Choker with a Silver Peace sign adorning the front. It's flanked by a couple black painted beads. The back is detailed with a hoop and bead to clamp it together.
Of course, there will be new variations on these themes. Different beads and such adorning both.  Be looking for updates soon, because I'm working fast! LOL. That's all for now. Tah!

It's Done! It's DONE!

ok...so FINALLY, I got the Easter Outfit I've been trying to make for like a month and a half. LOOONG story of distractions and frustrations with textures. :)  But, it's done! Yaaaaay! Take a look!There's so much included with this. The vest with prim collar and a loose sculpted tie, Silver link belt, Lace up side pants, Sculpted boots, Sculpted Bunny ears, and a sculpted bunny tail.  I've also included a belt that has the tail attached if you're running out of room for attachments.  
I struggled for a long time to try and figure out what would be fun to wear on easter.  I tried pastels, which just looked too girly.  (no offense girls, LOL).  Eventually, I ended up with a drawing of a Crazy Bunny which I just kind of ran with. Turned out a little more grunge than I had initially thought, but I think it's still fun for the holiday! I sure hope, as always, that you all like it. That's all for now. Ciao!

Gotta start somewhere...

So...I finally broke down and bought something that will help me make necklaces, jewelry, belts...the whole bit. So, I'm going to try my hand and making some guy jewelry.  I'm probably going to concentrate more on necklaces, and bracelets...MAYBE some earings.  But, I don't see many guys wearing rings in SL. They're subtle and don't really fit right anyway.  So, no rings. But, I will be making some nice chokers, pendants, and chains that will look pretty darn cool. So keep an eye out for the new line of AKC Jewelry!  
Oh..and as a side note. This one pictured above is available FREE for joining my subscribe-o-matic group. Cool, eh?

Just a quicky note...

I forgot, AKC is now searchable on the search window in SL! It was a simple thing to do, and I should have done it AGES ago. LOL. But, I never really thought about it until someone suggested it. SOooooo.. you can just type AKC into search and it will find me! Yay! Ok..that's all for now. :)

New Mall Layout

Heh..so we decided on a good decision yesterday. We decided to put the shops together in one area. I mean, why not? LOL. It's pretty cool seeing it together in a mall type atmosphere. Landmarks are still the same for AKC, and I've updated the landmark for Traci's. Stop by and check it out. Let me know what you think. Here's a pic. :)
