Sanu in SL: Pretzel Sticks and Fun Lipsticks!

It totally slipped my mind to announce the pretzel sticks here on my blog… so first things first:

Sanu in SL: Pretzel sticks are tasty as! You can't just stop at one.

I’m going to Japan in just a couple of weeks, and one of the things that I’m going to be looking forward to is pocky – a type of dipped pretzel/biscuit stick that comes in a multitude of fun flavours. Did you know that you can even get special flavoured pocky depending on what region of Japan you are in? For example, in Nagano there is grape pocky, and in Hokkaido you can get yubari melon flavour. You can read more about them on Wiki.

And now for my latest release: lipsticks!

Sanu in SL: Lipstick you can carry anywhere... and that delivers a delicious kiss on a click!

These lovely lippies hang on a cute little string around your neck… and the even better thing is that anyone who clicks it will get a wonderful little kiss on the cheek. Cute, huh?

Annnnnd I couldn’t just stop at one set of shades…

Sanu in SL: For the more conservative, these are the classic lipstick shades, rather than the fancy party colours!

So I made two sets. One for the vivid shades, and another for the classics. What can I say? I love these lipsticks so much I needed to do a huuuuuge range of colours to do them justice!

You can get your own Sanu lippie necklace today – teleport to the mainstore now.

Sanu in SL: Mochi!

This post is a little bit late – I did release these two days ago! Buuuut I was having a few computer issues, so I didn’t get to it as quickly as I could have.

My latest item in SL: mochi!

Ok, for anyone who hasn’t tasted mochi… you’re missing out. Mochi is a delicious little sweet snack-food, straight from Japan. It is a ‘glutinous rice ball’, which may sound a little weird to begin with, but it’s actually incredibly tasty. The texture is dense, with a similar chewiness to marshmallows. My favourite flavour is taro, I think – but I love a lot of the flavours available… there’s even ones stuffed with red bean paste!

Mmmm, yum!

So yes, I had to make mochi for SL – and you can pick them up today! They’re stuffed into a random vendor, so collect all eight!

You can get the mochi here, at my new store location.

Sanu in SL: Pacific Crisis Fundraiser Event.

I’m sure that most everyone knows about the incredible devastation visited upon Japan by the massive earthquakes. Once again, designers (and I’m sure entertainers, too) are stepping up to the plate in Second Life and doing their bit to raise money to help out where they can. I’m no exception (although thankfully I’m not organizing this event!) – the skin you see in this pic is a special just for the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser event, and 100% of the proceeds will be going into the charity account from this item.

You can pick up the skin at my mainstore, or alternatively, visit the Fundraiser Event location to see both this item and many others from a great range of designers, with full or partial proceeds going towards the cause.

On a slightly different note…

I’m also participating in the Lucky Prims event hosted by Royal Living. Each vendor is to set out an item (or items) for sale for the low price of L$45, with a retail value of at least L$500. You can see the vendors participating, their prizes and their landmarks at the Royal Living website. There’s some great items to be had!

My prize, as you can see from the image above, includes the following:

  • A special Miro skin – each skin comes with brow and cleavage options
  • Two mouth leaf sets, for nomming
  • A twiggy pot-plant, to hold in your hand
  • Three variations of the twiggy plant to decorate with

Quite a set, huh? I had real fun making it! Pick up yours today over at Sanu.

Sketch: A little something in progress.

So I’m doing up a portrait… but it isn’t actually going to be shaded, as this image implies. I was just playing around with my wacom and felt the urge to fill in some rough shading!

It’s going to be turned into a vector, if I have my way. Even though it is not yet finished, I thought I’d better pop something up onto the blog for now, since I’ve left it for so long without an update. I’ve gone way too long without putting a sketch up, don’t you think?

I’ll put up the finished product when I’m done!

Sanu in SL: The Miro skins for a touch of Spring.

My husband teases me about this. He really does. Every time I start on something like skins, or hair, or buildings, he’ll go, “Kat, you said that I should beat you if you ever start trying to make <insert item here>.” To which I resoundingly reply, “Shut up. Don’t tell me. I knowwwww!”

Skins are very much one of those things that I said I’d never do.

Luckily though, I often ignore what I’ve said earlier, and do it anyway. So here’s the new release!

There are four tones, to suit a range of avvies, starting with a nice pale shade.

There’s seven make-ups available in each tone – six can be picked up individually, but the seventh can only be obtained by purchasing the fatpack.

Each of the skins have four options to cover some of the basics – light brows for blonde and lighter hairs, dark brows for brunettes and darker, no cleavage for those that prefer a more natural look and cleavage for those who want a bit of lift. By having these options on the skin itself, you have the tattoo layer free for other things.

So yes. I’ve made skins again. Skins inspired by flowers and Spring-time and frolicking and fun. I’ve even released the shape in-store as well, so that you can get the exact look in the signs with the addition of some hair from Fri.day, eyes by Poetic Color, and outfit by Evie’s Closet.

Teleport to Sanu to try out a demo today!
