Building in Second Life

I really like to build stuff in real life, so building stuff in Second Life is pretty cool. It is fun to play around with the shapes and textures, but not as satisfying as creating something real that I can touch. This week we were asked to create three original objects and find three objects to decorate our space in Second Life. I was a bit stumped about what to build at first, so I looked through my inventory to get a few ideas. I seemed to have a collection of hats in my inventory so I decided to build a hat rack. It is a pretty basic structure, but it took me awhile to get the parts of it all lined up just right and to link them all together so they could be moved as one unit.

After I got it built to where I could live with it I took the hats from my inventory out and placed them on the rack to display. One of the three required items was complete. After that I started playing with different shapes and trying to grow a tree, but since I don't own the land I couldn't grow a tree the old fashioned way so decided to build a tree. Since it is nearing the holidays (and because I couldn't figure out how to build any other shape of tree) I built a Christmas tree. I didn't decorate it yet however. Maybe my roomies will give me a hand with that. 

I then constructed some decorative candles that really glow to give the room a nice homey atmosphere. 

Have a great week everyone.
