Blushing Petals gets a Second Look

Do you remember the "Blushing Petals" art that I created and Boaz Sands created an outfit from the texture ... and then I brought the texture in world to display it on a prim and the art got very demanding and wanted to be translucent and iridescent, and more?

Well, when it finished being demanding with me, it turned on Boaz and started insisting on a second version of the "Blushing Petals" outfit: Elegant, with ribbons. Then it started screaming for jewelry.

So... Boaz did what any good artist would do with a piece of demanding art. She got busy and created exactly what it was telling her to make.

You probably totally love the first outfit Boaz made from the Blushing Petals image because it is a fun and flitty fairy outfit.

Don't be surprised to find yourself equally in love with Blushing Petals ii for entirely different reasons. It is elegant with a gentle flowing movement while the playful ribbons keep it from being too serious.

Last time I didn't go on and on about Boaz's garment construction, but there are some things you should know. First, the dress flows just right. They always do. And, as always, this one flows just right and takes advantage of the alpha error (transparency). This makes it appear that the petal edges are floating back and forth over each other, rather like waves.

For those of you who are a little geeky, I will add that none of these photos were taken with "fast alpha."

Second, Boaz makes sure that the petals are arranged in a way so that the transparency in the back never makes the front disappear ... I'm sure you've all had at least one garment that does that.

The dress is just as graceful from the back :) I don't know if you'll see it but I enjoy that the sleeves and the side belt ties keep giving me the allusion of a silken wrap.


The jewelry, belt, and sleeves add just the right architectural detail. Boaz made the necklace, earrings, and belt from ribbons. She added beads to the belt that utilize a portion of the Blushing Petals art that you would not otherwise enjoy.

I contributed the medallion to the necklace. It occasionally emits a drop of magic ~ much more slowly than the original art piece. You can also get the jewelry with the original fairy costume.

You can visit Boaz's recently expanded shop on Adelebsen Isle to purchase both outfits.
