Escape the Ordinary

Escape the Ordinary Hunt 4 | July 1st – 20th | 2L Hunt Prize

It’s time for another extraordinary hunt – one of my favourite themes – which I’m proud to sponsor, with all sponsor fees going to the Trussel Trust.

My item is what every spider plant needs – a spider plant stand! With great horticulturability comes great stability.. or something. I don’t know..

(I’m also thinking of trying to do a carnivorous plant version in the future – stay tuned!)

If you’re not a huge 8-legged fan – don’t fear! – you can also rez the plant separately. The leaves of the plant are also tintable (instructions in included notecard, if you need them). I’ve already made them a greenish shade, but the base texture is black and white – so go nuts* (well, *nuts and black.. because the black bits are pretty much always going to be black..). And for a more futuristic look, you could always add a bit of glow.

As usual, this will be a full-price release when the hunt is over, so grab it for 2L while you can!

I hope you enjoy this prize, along others from all the fabulous designers – you can find all of the prize previews and hints over on the official blog here.

Enjoy! <3

Going Into the Woods

Into the Woods Cart Sale + Hunt | October 1st – 31st | 2L Hunt Prize

Wooo! It’s time for another fab I Heart the Cart sale and hunt! I’ve made two brand new things – the first is the vicious table (picture above).. because haunted wood makes fiesty furniture.. just make sure it doesn’t dine on you! Hunt about the sim to find it for 2L – and here is the full prize list from the official blog.

Also new is the latest in my collage-type pictures (below) – because I can’t get enough of Halloweenie puns.

You can find this picture on my cart, along with a free gift and some 10L items. I’ve resurrected a few old favourites that had yet to be rebranded, and it will probably be a while before they’re added to the store, so grab them while you can.

And as always, enjoy the fantastic sim and atmosphere <3

Back in the Day

2L Hunt Prize | Mainstore Hunt | October 1st-31st

It’s been a while, but I’m back! I was delighted to be invited to the latest Stuff My Inventory Hunt – I have fond memories of being a part of one of their Unknown hunts showcasing new creators back in 2013 (as by Chiana Oh) when I didn’t even make my own mesh. I was also delighted to also sponsor this hunt – with the sponsor fees being donated to Latch – the Welsh Children’s Cancer Charity.

After an extended break from building, in which I also moved house in RL, it seems appropriate that my first event this year has a nostalgia theme as it lets me look back and take stock a little. As a late Gen-X-er, my nostalgia is mostly 80s-90s based, and for an October hunt, I had to find some way of making it all about the ‘ween, so turning Dracula into RADcula was the obvious choice.. or something. I mean, immortal beings do probably follow fashion trends to fit in, even if they are undead creatures of the night? Right? Now I can’t get the image of a monster in a shell suit out of my head… the RUSTLING alone would alert any prey 🤣

Anyway.. the framed picture also comes with the four pumpkins pictured with their appropriate 90s-squiggle patterns and garish colours. I hope you enjoy!

Spoonful of Sugar Event Supporting MSF

I’m delighted to be involved with this year’s Spoonful of Sugar: Mexico event packed full of items donating to the amazing Doctors Without Borders/MĂ©decins Sans Frontières. You can read all about the event, its impressive calendar of activities, and how it supports MSF over on the event blog.

For my part, I have made several new items donating 100% of their sales to MSF. In my event store you will find these squishy and not-at-all prickly ‘Free Hugs’ Cactus sets. There are 3 colour sets available, plus a discounted fatpack containing all three sets plus a bonus tintable version. I loved making these, and I hope you love them too!

If you scroll down, you will also see my new items for the fab Chupacabra group hunt and the bargain 10L ‘A little something sweet’ (look for a skull sugar bowl!). Again, 100% donations.

I’ve also dotted the store with a few of my more popular previous releases, donating 50% to MSF.

I hope you get a chance to visit this event, support if you can, and take a stroll around the atmospheric and beautifully decorated sims!

Going Beyond the Veil with Twisted

~ Chiana Oh ~ Leave a comment

Twisted Beyond the Veil Hunt Prize | Free
September 1 – 30

I’ve sat out too many Twisted Hunts in the last year, so I’m very happy to have been able to create for one again! This Fall’s theme is “Beyond the Veil” which I absolutely love.

It inspired me to think about different methods by which we try to contact the dead (or how the spirits may contact us…). I had a few ideas, but the one that stuck was using the shape and some design elements of the planchette which was a popular mediumship device in its own right, and then became part of the the (in)famous Ouija board.

I put a little nod to the hunt theme in the title of the biggest book, which also has the theme colours.

My prize can be found *somewhere* in my main store.
Once the hunt is over, it will be priced at 150L – so grab it for free while you can!

The hunt start location is at Twisted HQ.
The official blog is here with loads of info about the hunt.
You can also see some of the other prizes available at Twisted’s Flickr and Facebook.
And there’s a friendly and helpful group for any help needed along the way:

Happy hunting and good luck! <3

Positivity @ RFL Home & Garden Expo 2021

Home & Garden Expo for RFL
Feb 27 – Mar 21

I’m so happy to be at Home Expo again! I still haven’t been able to create as much as I would like, but I wanted to try and get something special out for this awesome event.

I figured we all need a little extra support right now, so I made what I’m calling a “Little Jar of Positivity.” It’s inspired by the affirmation jars and such that you can make/buy in RL with little notes in that you can pick out and read when you’re feeling a little down. I’ve always loved that idea and wanted to bring that to SL in my own way.

The jar is scripted so that when someone touches it, it will send a random message out in chat. I’ve included a few simple things that have helped me at times – but it’s very customisable in that you can alter the notecard to add anything you like. I’ve included public and private chat channel versions so you can decide if you want everyone to see the message it gives in chat when touched or just have it private for the person that touched it. More info is in the included notecard.

At the moment you can only find this jar for sale in my Expo store in the mall at Hope 2 – TAXI

100% of sales of the jar are donated to the Expo cause. As I wasn’t able to make much else new for the Expo this year, I’ve also set everything else in my store there to donate 50%. You can also find my previous releases below as a 10L hunt prize (usually 75L, 100% donated) and a free gift.

I hope you get chance to visit the Expo – it’s always a fantastic event to look around with lots going on – you can find out more about it here on the official blog.

Until next time, lovelies! <3

Twisted Cyberpunk Hunt Prize | Free
Mar 1 – 31

Twisted is back with a brilliant new theme – Cyberpunk – this might be one of my favourites so far!

I’m very happy to be again taking part in this epic hunt, and my prize is pictured above – my little homage to a sci-fi classic. I had so much fun with it, I’m planning on expanding the idea further – so look out for more editions once the hunt is over.

In case one Twisted cube just isn’t enough for you to hunt for, I’ve also hidden an additional 10 decoy cubes around my land (all cubes are within 30m of the landing spot). Each of these decoy cubes contains a notecard which will give you a promo code for 50% off one of my items.

So that’s 10 promo codes to collect for 10 different products at my main store.
The codes will be valid until the end of April 12th, to give you chance to catch up with everything. Promo codes can only be used at vendors in my main store location (Lunalis).

My prize (and promo codes) can be found at my main store.

The hunt start location is at Twisted HQ.
The official blog is here with loads of info about the hunt.
You can also see some of the other prizes available at Twisted’s Flickr and Facebook.
And there’s a friendly and helpful group for any help needed along the way:
secondlife:///app/group/73770da7-7d71-a54e-6e86-60a3e9281e07/about (copy and paste into local chat to bring up the group link).

I hope you enjoy the hunt, and I truly hope you and yours are safe and well <3

100% Donation Item

Home & Garden Expo for RFL
Feb 13 – Mar 4

I’m so happy to be joining the huge annual Home & Garden Expo again, which raises money for Relay For Life of Second Life, which in turn fundraises for the American Cancer Society.

Each designer is launching two new designs exclusive to the expo for its duration, which donate 100% of their proceeds to this amazing cause. My items are the crescent moon bookcase with its magical star light (pictured above) and – a modern take on an ancient design – the triquetra coffee table (see below).

I’m also taking part in the Expo hunt – scroll down to see the preview of my hunt item (again, new and exclusive), which is a framed edited version of a RL photo I took at the magical Castlerigg Stone Circle near Keswick in the UK. The hunt items cost just 10L, and all proceeds are donated.

In addition to my new items, you can find a few previous releases marked up to donate 50% of their proceeds dotted around my Expo store.

As always, there is a lot to enjoy at the expo, not just shopping! You can find full details of all the stores involved, and the full calendar of events over on the official blog here. There is also an official Flickr group which can be found here.

My expo store is in the mall on Hope 4 – here.

I hope you enjoy the event! <3

Escape the Ordinary Hunt Prize | Free
Feb 1 – 20

Escape the Ordinary in this February hunt from Stuff My Inventory Hunts. The brief was to use our imaginations and go crazy. Apparently, in my brain, that leads to unconventionally opening drawers concealing ducks. Well, why not?!

You can get both the “ducked” and “unducked” versions of this outside-the-cube of drawers for free by finding and clicking on the hunt prim (a little suitcase). Once the hunt has ended (Feb 20th), it will be available to buy as a full-price release up on Plant Narf.

Hunt for it in my main store: TAXI
Check out all the prizes and hints over at the Stuff My Inventory Hunts blog.
