It’s a Macchiato Sort of Sunday

Today I began filling out the submission form to add my blog, Threads and Tuneage to the new Second Life Blogger Network. This new endeavor is a way for Second Life to fill their blog with beautiful content, and will ultimately lead to traffic on your blog through links. Everything was going along great until I got to two requests; One was for a short, two paragraph description of your blog and the other was for your blogs Logo. I cruised over to my About Me page and about died. The information was not incorrect, but was definitely outdated. Thankfully it appeared I had updated it since 2009, but still the words felt far from what Threads and Tuneage has evolved into. Coffee in hand I began editing my About Me page. 6 years ago Kynne Llewellyn joined me here on T&T, so About Me, turned into About Us.. sorta. I ended up writing it in the third person, and it is a start…. if you think I should add more or should change things, let me know. I could use your input!

Threads and Tuneage was established by Duchess Flux as a platform to represent a little part of the meta universe in 2009, after she discovered the seemingly limitless possibilities of the virtual world, Second Life. Second life has grown in leaps and bounds since Duchess Flux‘s rezz day, as has Threads and Tuneage, and her hopes is that this visual diary of sorts will amuse, entice and entertain all those that happen upon her pixels. In 2014, Kynne Llewellyn, joined this creative endeavor and often you will find her beautiful works within the pages.

Join them as they explore the enchanting, fairytale like dream quality and fantasy aspects of Second Life through their art. As you begin this visual voyage, they hope to introduce you to things they have found that are unique, or even mind blowing. Their visual stories are accompanied by credits to the creators of the items showcased in the images along with handy SLURS to the events or main stores where the items can be purchased. Often their images are conjured though stories and those words will frequently dot the page in an effort to lead the viewer into their works. Destinations are always listed, however most of the work you see are hand built, in-world “sets,” over at The Ippos Collective. Come for the magic…. stay for the friends and fun.

Imagination is the key, and the ability to be anything you dream to be … even just for a fleeting moment… is possible within Second Life. If you have not been to this incredible platform, their hope is that you will check it out with an open mind. Even if you decide not to visit Second Life, they hope your visit to Threads and Tuneage will sprinkle your day with a love and brightness that shines through to your real life.

My blog has never had a formal Logo. There is a square image of me and Kynne, and perhaps this is what they want, but the fact that they used the word “logo,” makes me immediately think of Store Logos in Second Life. I decided to use an image as the background for lettering. This didn’t go as well as planned, so I decided since my blog is basically a visual representation of the fun to be had in Second Life, that I would just use an image that best shows that aspect. I chose this cropped image.

If someone out there with mad logo skills is reading this and takes pity on me…… yes, I’d love your help. Bring it on! 😛

So as Alanis Morissette said… Enough about me….
