“May Flowers” hunt – now on!

Phew… it’s been a lot of running around between Arkaine and I, but we’ve got a fun and hopefully challenging hunt for you! Find all ten red flowers to put together a complete avatar look.

Start here: alaskametro <3 main store @ Second Style Island

The hunt runs from May 15th to 20th… on the 20th at midnight I’ll take away the flowers.

I have some tips:

1) The flowers yield to gravity. That means, though they may be growing in odd spots, they won’t be floating in mid-air or other silly places.

2) When in doubt, look closer to the store. All the flowers are either in, on or around the main store, or in the park nearby… or other public areas…

3) The flowers can sometimes be behind things. They’ll never be contained inside another object, unlike the devilish but oh-so-worth it Mata Hari ballroom hunt by Random Calliope (a wonderful puzzle, though I’m not sure if it’s still around.) They’re all visible but sometimes you need to walk around… get a different angle…

4) The flowers are sculpted and small. You can easily miss them. Especially if you’re running Second Life on bare minimum graphics. Take your time when hunting and allow the area to fully load, so the flowers aren’t mere blobs.

5) While you’re around, window shop… Second Style Island has some great things to offer by Second Life’s top fashion designers!

Have fun!

Announcing “May Flowers” hunt May 15th to 20th

alaskametro <3 "May Flowers" spring hunt

From May 15th to 20th, 2010, visit Second Style Island and hunt for the red flowers (pictured above) to collect the pieces for the entire “Persephone” avatar. This is a limited edition look and includes everything pictured.

There are 10 flowers in total. Start your hunt at the main store, and buy the flowers for L$0. Each flower contains a hint for the next. They’re all over the store and public Second Style Island areas… so keep looking!

The pieces include: shape, base skin tone, hair with built in headband, eyes and eyelashes, makeup tattoo layer (2.0 only), nail polishes, underwear, shoes, charcoal grey capri pants, and floral patterned blouse. Perfect for spring!

More preview images of the complete look:

Disclaimer: the hair is no modify… however, it should already fit the included shape.

Preview: “Persephone” shoes from hunt

About a week from now, I’ll be holding a fun Spring-themed hunt (flowers will be hidden around the Second Style Island park and my store, with clues to find them all and complete an avatar look!)

Coming up with every part for a complete avatar has been challenging! So far, I’m most pleased with how the shoes have turned out. The “Persephone” shoe will be part of the regular Spring 2010 line once I release it, but this fiery orange/red look will only be around for the hunt!

The “Persephone” shoe has a leather upper, black patent leather sole, mirror silver inner sole and signature silver heart. If I owned these in First Life, I doubt they’d ever leave my feet. Except maybe to shower.

Once I put the finishing touches on the hunt avatar, I’ll be sure to post a preview and more details here!
