In round 2 of Designers Challenge, in which every 2 weeks 2 home and garden designers will take the same rl picture as inspiration and create what they see in Second Life in their own way, Pandora Popstar from Lisp Bazaar and Gala Charron from Art Dummy have chosen the photo by Luc Viator entitled “Summer fields of Belgium”. They focused on the colors and the atmosphere and agreed to design something for a conservatory.
Pandora Popstar turned the sky into drapes with grassy fields and trees on the bottom. She made a rug with a grassy texture as a way of trying to bring the outdoors into an indoor set.
With the bench she tried to reflect the brightness of the picture and get a sunny, summery feel, and she took the hay bale and turned it into a bolster cushion. The side table is made of bark and grass, and the ladybug/bird vase has a tiny bug on the leaf.
She had seen some light bulbs in rl that had little glass flowers inside and with the lamps in SL and decided to make them more like real flowers with glass bulbs on them and they grow through the floor. They have a touch on/off light and glow effect.
The results of both designers can be found in both their shops L.I.S.P. Bazaar and *Art Dummy, on our blog and in our flickr group.
