ArtFest for Flood Victims
So of course I tend to never stop, so now that the work part with Artmaze is done and it opens shortly to everyone, I have drowned myself in a new project.
This time, much like my hunts, I have decided to run my own thing and make it a mammoth task (why go small when you can dive in and totally drown yourself). And no, as I wrote that bit I did not even think about the connection to this event and if it was an appropriate saying.
So the next big thing is a huge fundraiser for the flood victims around the world. And I say around the world, as even though I am in Australia, and the floods in Queensland are devistating everyone, there are other current floods that are just as bad or worse. So this event is for Australia, Brazil, and Sri lanka. I don't know about anyone else, but when I see footage of a dead elephant stuck up in a tree from where the water had carried it, people sitting on their roofs with no other sign there is a house beneath them under the muddy water, or hear of all the people swept away or buried, my heart aches.
I can't do a heck of a lot, but I know I can pull something together that people will enjoy and hopefully it will help raise a little money for a good cause. The money raised will go to the Red Cross, since they are one of the few organisations I know of that work all around the world helping out in disaster zones, without religious overtones. With the current problems around right now I encourage all to donate to some group that you know is helping in some way.

ArtMaze
Well I have been busy building a section of the Artmaze, which I have found an interesting concept. Each artist picks a spot that has a number (usually 3) of set points where you must connect your piece to those of fellow artists, to create one really big maze. The whole thing goes across 4 sims and there is an amazing array of talent.

My video (no sound, not the greatest, but hey give me a break it is the first ever one I did)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrRZaanzXRQ
In my section, I have the 'normal' pretty pictures gallery section, and then I have the you can bypass this, warning this can hit hard, section. The warning is there for a very good reason, I have seen how it can effect others. This time my exhibit has a physical and a mental path, and below is a bit of writing that goes with each and may give an idea of what might be within.
Physical:
A single gene in a beautiful, complex double helix, is turned on instead of off.
A slip, a fall, a stupid dive into murky waters that did not at the time run deep.
A slam into a fellow player, or worse into a car driving home from the game.
An act of terror, or the flesh tearing results of being sent to yet another useless war.
Whether a fast impact or a disease slowly creeping, the outcome is still the same.
A body is no longer a vehical, it becomes a cage, holding tight, refusing to let go.
Mental:
A quiet child, keeps to themselves, mature beyond their years, never a problem.
A teen grows into a man and suddenly has extra friends whispering in their ear.
Drugs, legal or not, caused side effects that lasted long after the chemicals left.
Unwanted attention or extreme disasters, cause a quiet retreat that never ends.
There does not need to be physical barriers to shut out the world.
The is no need for locks, wire, guards, to contain a person.
Fears, phobias, depression, effectively lock some people in.
Others follow in the footsteps of their elders, or simply have bad wiring.
The brain, resilient, adaptive, complex, yet oh so delicate.
Mapped out, yet still a mystery, experiments inconclusive.

On to the next project, there is always something..
Well the Eclectic hut is well and truely off and running, in my own unique style. http://diversityhunt.blogspot.com/
I finished my display window and snowman in the Dreams winter contest. This time I did the window as a joint effort with my darling tartlette, he did most of the textures while I drove myself silly trying to do the animation.
http://slurl.com/secondlife/dreams/125/150/24/
So of course I can finally relax a bit now that the hunt has settled :)
Umm well except I was pushed towards this art thing coming up, and I ummm, well you know how it goes, I just seem to like driving myself nuts. So Artmaze here I come.

Eclectic
The new hunt has finally arrived, it is off and running... in all directions lol.
Once again, multiple paths, multiple fun.
It all starts in Tiger Tower, and each path ends with a link back to... you guessed it, Tiger Tower.
Lots of stores, many new, lots of gifts, and even som clues.
Happy hunting, you have until December 18.
And yes, a year went by, time enough to forget just how mad it was to run a hunt, the stress the strain....wasn't that bad lets do it again...
*smacks head* how could I be so stupid? Sleep, I keep telling myself and others I got some, but apparently noone was convinced, an hour a day is enough though isn't it? It's so wonderful having all these great stores in the hunt... what do you mean they still haven't got the poster out? Ok time to do the last run through, all wonderful until you hit that break in the chain..... yes to do this again I must be insane.

Burn2
Well I have been busy for ages doing a sort of steampunk looking build for Burn2, and for a change I am quite proud of it.
This Blog gives a good idea of what Burn2 is:
http://honour-mcmillan.blogspot.com/2010/10/burn2-second-life-burner-explains.html
A great shot of my build taken by pj_trenton is here:

One of the blogs around that mentions my build:
http://gomiso.blogspot.com/2010/10/playa-map-burn2-artists.html
I am so happy to have my work actually noticed for a change, and I hope the people get some of the little bits of interest in it. Below is a map of the Burn2 area, and my build is where the red star is.
