My First Store

I rented a 512 in the Nimbulus Futuristic Cloud City Mall. L$100 per week, it's a great deal. I really like the location, the look of the area. I've met a couple of my shopkeeper neighbors and the landlord. Everyone is quite friendly.

I'm selling interactive sculptures and framed digital artwork. The sculptures are glass pyramids and on touch emit a relaxing particle flow. The artwork consists of several paintings I did in Gimp earlier this year. All with a space theme. I did the frames in Photoshop by looking up some framing techniques on web pages.

It was very rewarding creating my shop. It took a couple of days to set everything up the way I wanted it but I'm happy with the result. I turned off physical because I had trouble placing the items where I wanted with gravity on. I locked the items so that they couldn't be moved after they were set. (I may need to adjust this. After Tristain bought a sculpture, it was still locked and she had to unlock it before she could place it in her apartment). I also became very familiar with the camera controls while setting up shop, as I used them heavily. I created a tiny rod and hid it behind my store sign. It emits a nice sparkle, not overdone but very attractive.


The second day my shop was open somebody spent L$300 on two sculptures. I was so excited! No other sales since, but there will be, I just have to be patient.

I want to open another store and try my hand at some men's clothing. There isn't alot out there that isn't for young punks and model wannabes. I also have had trouble finding decent men's hair. I'll have to look into how to make it, there's an open market out there for it.
