Creators
are everywhere in the virtual world. From fashion and furniture to art and
everything in between can be created and used by avatars.
SL creators use their
own inspiration and imaginations to create art and things that can be sold to
residents in Second Life. The first location that I went to visit has some wonderful art pieces from
paintings to vases, and a few art work furniture pieces. The
one that I loved was called” Perfection Lady in glass”
Fantasi Rhode says this is one of there first
and favorite pieces. She described it as “Something that speaks to her“. They
both have been doing Antiques and art work for years but they have just started
branching out and trying different creations.
Next
Finn Showed me this Very Nice piece of painting called “Evening Shore” the
other version won him first place in the people choice awards.
However the photo does not do it true justice
as the water moves in the painting.
Next
I went to visit them at their main location. This location is still being
worked on but, I was able to get a tour of the one store. “F&F Antique
Creations”
When I first walked in I saw this lovely piece
called ‘Lady of the fountain Statue”
it’s a water piece and changes with the seasons. as I walked around some
more at the store you can see such great items in here. You can really tell
that they love what they do cause it shows in there work. By far the best item
they had was the hand maiden statue. it is made of glass and coral textures.
As you can from the photo how beautiful it is.
You must come check out there items in person and see all the other items they
have made.
What does it take to
become a Creator here in Second Life?
Interview
with Fantasi Rhode & Finn Lanzius
I
interviewed Finn and Fann from F&F Creations & Fine Art. As you can see from the title of the store
they make many things from furniture to art. Let’s take a look at some of these creator’s
pieces and find out a little bit about what it’s like to be a creator in Second
life.
Nena
Dreadlow:
How many years have you been creating here on sl?
Fantasi
Rhode:
Well I suppose you could say almost from day one in SL. Learning to put things together
to make your furnishings and household things was a real challenge to me. However, we have been creating for the public
around 6 years now.
Nena
Dreadlow:
What is your favorite thing to create?
Fantasi
Rhode:
I love Color and things from our past. I want to make something so that when
people look at it they can recognize it because it looks real
Finn
Lanzius: Every piece I've ever created
Nena
Dreadlow: What changes have you seen since you first started creating?
Fantasi
Rhode:
Sad to say however it’s the effect the market place has had on the second life
experience. You don’t see people around just browsing, or learning to create.
Use to, every where you went you would run into a lag because so many people were here. Now so few are even checking about or
exploring the vast amount of places, that a lot of hard work have gone into it.
Finn
Lanzius:
Lots and lots of Ghost towns
Nena
Dreadlow:
What makes a successful creator?
Fantasi Rhod:A person who takes the
time to seek out those who can teach them the basics. When that is accomplished
they can begin to use their imagination and build whatever they wish.
Finn
Lanzius:
An imagination, learning the tools we have to work with it's just understanding
the system, you can know the tools and not have a thought in your head.
Creativity come from the imagination, comes from the mind
Nena
Dreadlow:
Approximately how many hours a day do you spend making things?
Fantasi
Rhode:
Sometimes 12 hours, sometimes 2. It depends on real life demands and what
second life projects are under contract for completions.
