It has been an interesting month for the gallery and me. From the Lilith Cates exhibit opening party, to the Summer Sunrise and Sunset hunt and then to an addition to the gallery for unique frames which I am now designing and making for sale.
To start off I am posting just a few of the opening photos.

I have been a busy Curator and Artist. I found a cool program in SL that pre-configures Blender. The program is Jass and it takes blender and adds the python scripts and primstar all into one very easy to use program for creating sculpty for SL. I then have been taking the tutorials that are available by having primstar and Jass. The results are amazing. I have had Blender installed on both of my computers for a long time, but have been totally clueless as to how to use it. The 2 tutorials I previously took are for people that already have an idea as to what the program is. Installing the python scripts into Blender was not clearly explained and I felt unqualified to do it on my own after several attempts. Jass made it really easy, as all was done for me on installation. So, with just a couple of tutorials I was able to do what I have been wanting to do. Make some frames for sale in the gallery. I also was playing around with a sculpt torus and made what was looking like a shark, so I continued manipulating it. The result was a 4 prim sculpture with 3 sculpt and one regular prim. Not bad for a first attempt at sculptures. It is near the landing point in the gallery.

Below are a couple of photos of the Frame Shop I added to the gallery and the Shark Sculture which I appropriately named Jumping Through Fire!
