The First GOOD EARTH!
The Good Earth One ~ Our first private build this first personal sim founded in January 2015 became a home to artistic endeavors and private roleplay. It hosted a Moroccan feel district of Bazi, in the North, and had the mix of lower Spain and upper Morocco on the lower lands, featuring art from all over the world held at the Guild, to sacred texts, poetry, from all over Earth, and some Gorean equivalents.
When I have played in Gor, I have always played fringe characters, bohemians, or free people in the First Nations fantasy portion of Gor. I am a truth seeker and teller in many of my roleplays this lower land of Bazi came into being based on friends that were supporting me in Ukunga and we felt, "so where is it we come from?" We have always played it was from Bazi, so what did our home look like...this was the result.
This sim originally set aside for Family and preserved for Family, both REAL WORLD and SECOND LIFE...was Held in trust, during a difficult time in our journey we lost the sim for a month, only to repurchase the same land again...out of the ashes....
As we had made a promise to always hold a space for our real life children when they come into SL as we are away from them, we are now there again:) |
What I enjoyed most was how this build just kept evolving on one Level we had the temple on another we had the mosque, on another a building site that was pure 50s inspired, and on the oceans floors, a temple to the divine mother...it was what it needed to be when it needed to be.
I now see building like sand painting, it is temporal, and in it can come great joy, Passion and healing. I do get attached to the PRIMS...lol, but I know too that the Moment is the most important. HOW did you FEEL when creating it? What did it offer you?
My favorite part of the build is land sculpting.....actually moving the land with the Tools. It is much like pottery in virtual tech. It soothes me and drives away stress, it becomes a focused piece so when people have been Kind to offer me prims elsewhere it is hard if it does not come with the ablitity to move the land into forms that are pleasing to the eye. So I know this as one of my Needs.
Secondly Comes in creating the atmosphere.....how does the sun look, the sky, what shadows fall where, where is the movement...Sound without being overly intrusive. Does it feel real? As real as it can?
