…Well, it’s actually only my second “big” build, but it feels like a learning milestone for me.
One of the things I want to accomplish in Second Life is to learn how to build, and build well. I imagine myself as making a splash in the area of selling Mission/Arts & Crafts furniture, and even homes — sort of like the Sears, Roebuck of Second Life [1]. To do this, though, you gotta put in the sandbox time — or at least time in a place where you can build. I could have worked on this project in my loft, but I think “sandbox” when I do build work. And so I pulled on my leather work gloves, and off to my favorite sandbox, in the Mauve region [2].
The project I had in mind was a candle stand for Advent. Being Episcopalian, I wanted something appropriate to the season, but could not spot a stand at any of the decoration stores I tried. So it was up to my own hands, and my (hopefully) excellent eye for design. If the project worked, I might even be able to market it and pick up some pocket money (grin).
