Pennies from heaven

By Lili B. ⋅ March 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve been anticipating the Melt installation since it was casually announced by Radio Signals a couple of weeks ago and the few sneak peeks that have leaked in the past hours have not let me down, quite the opposite !

First glimpsed was Apatia Hammerer’s ball gown, and, here, doesn’t she look just the thing in it ? Inimitable she is ! But I tried to wear it, still. Then, I also saw what Emma Gilmour had done and that got me really jumping up and down with anticipation. Money you can wear ! I love it, worn with its own hairstyle or as a standalone accessory, it is never going to leave my inventory, ever. The bills are excellently sculpted, and as a whole, the money blindfold is, well, just remarkable ! Plus, I thought it paired really well with the pocket watch from Lark. But, enough babbling ! On with some pictures.

Credits. 1, 2 & 3. Hair, blindfold & puppet strings: Sand Shack Surf Co. @ MELT installation (Emma Gilmour), Skin: Fashionably Dead (Toast Bard), Dress: Pig @ MELT installation (Apatia Hammerer), Pocket Watch: Lark @ MELT installation (Sienia Trevellion). 4 & 5. Hair: Shag (Sebastien Aries), Skin: Fashionably Dead (Toast Bard), Tear: mijn.t (Mijn Seoung), Bear suit: RunoRuno @ Melt installation (Jojorunoo Runo), Bear mask: Split Pea @ Melt installation (Melatonin Hax).

Melt will run from the 6th till the 21st. Do go on and check the flyer here to see the list of other participating designers.

“This project is a study of translations. I presented 25 artists within Second Life with a concept of creating art with these words in mind: Drowning. Melting. Polar bears. Arctic. Culpability. Corporate greed. Inevitability. Extinction.” – Radio Signals

Thank you very much to Radio and the designers !

Thank you !

And, not much technique involved, Pips. I opened my textures folder, picked the first one that caught my eye, overlaid it, and voilà ! Instant… artsiness or whatever you’d call what this is. ;)
