Five starts a flower shop

After finishing a big scripting job, Five had an incredible desire to do something nice and simple. But what is nice and simple? And of course: not what can be found everywhere! Ok you have guessed it: flowers! When young, so three months ago, Five made a lot of drawings of flowers.

And the spring was so beautiful this year. Starting early with snowdrops and starflowers, the whole display of colours and shapes went on and on with crocuses, hyacinths, tulips, lilacs, and there was no end to it, roses, rhododendron with their deep reds. Some flowers are inconceivably fragile, others so robust! But also the weeds and grasses are flowering, Gypsophila for instance, buttercup, daisies.
The daisies were particularly bright this year, and Five choose an name for the flowershop: Five Daisies!
As the Virgin Island Sim is attracting lots of customers, Five decided that for a try it would be good to start a shop in this beautiful sim.
Armoe Lipo helped Five finding a place in the palace and Five started working on flowers.
These flowers are animated by wind and movement. Together with the possibility of softening the shapes and a bit of manipulations of the pictures with the use of alpha channels new and unexpected objects consisting of a diversity of flower combinations were made. Of course the creations all reflect this gorgeous spring.
The shop must not be filled to the top with flowers and endless variations. It must be in style with the classy sim. So Five started experimenting with the interior design of the shop. The colours must remain isolated and the background must reinforce the colour and not muddle it up.
After a few days of shifting things around the shop really reflects the feeling of flowers in Second Life. The flowery objects are not real copies of RL flowers, they are a bit stylized. Five is continuing with experiments and new creations are added on a daily basis. And because of this Five must also remove some items. Adding and removing makes the shop come alive and customers will always see different aspects of Second Life possibilities and different flowers. The flowers are following the seasons, because Five thinks that this also contributes to a natural atmosphere. Well Five would be delighted if the dear reader would come around and stop by, looking at the new motives and patterns of nature.
Of course an ad belongs to organizing a shop and a text was made with the word flower in all languages which Five could think off at that day, including Japanese!
