Note from Jewell, I will not compete.

Apple Pickng Chair by the clever Gala Charron of Artdummy!

There have been many occasions when I have had an itch to build and create something besides textures in Second Life. I had tossed around the idea of making furniture or trying my hand at clothes. I have three items I made in my shop that are set for sale, a table and chairs, a rug and a fan. I made them ages ago and have not made a single item since. And, I won’t. I will not create furniture or accessories, I will not make clothes, I will only make textures. It is not because I lack motivation, or have no interest in building. I made the choice for one reason alone: I will not compete with my customers. Personally, I think that if I were to build furniture and these items for sale in Second Life it would be a direct conflict of interest. Why would I want to compete with those that have been loyal and supportive? I love creating textures, I love seeing builds with my textures, and I love seeing photos on Flickr that have my textures incorporated in them. That is enough for me, it is the reward. I view this as a partnership with my customers, I make the textures they create the items and we all win. On that note, I want to thank my loyal customers, new found friends, staunch supporters and those that send me note cards or random instant messages showing great love for my work. One of the advantages of not building is I get to support, my supporters by decorating my own home and sim with awesome creations! Check out my new chair! I think we can all agree that one of the best aspects of Second Life is the creative genius’s behind the monitors. Where else can you find an “Apple Picking” chair like this? Thanks again, and be patient with me when it comes to this website it has a long way to go.  xo Jewell (Chair from Gala Charron of Artdummy!, Dandelions are from one of my Fairy Flower packs,  however they are sculpted and sold by Pitsch Parx of UrbanizedD, he makes wonderful meadows!
