I should like to publicly thank everyone who has so far visited the Shayne Hesten Designs stores, especially on the Calabria sim, and particularly those who have purchased greetings cards from the stores and from Xstreet, some leaving me complementary replies in IM. Your words have been very encouraging, especially as I do try to design items that are not similar to other merchants.
Not only has new stock been added regularly, we have now expanded to a much larger store on the same Calabria sim (slurl at foot of this post). The store in now known as S&A Design and still contains the growing selection of greetings cards but now also has a larger range of my artwork - a number of these images have won awards and art competitions in RL and on the internet (these days that can be pretty much the same thing) and prints do sell for large amounts of money in RL, although here they are available for a low L$ rate.
We have also been steadily building other items for sale to SL residents - sofas, armchairs, beds, lamps; the third floor of the store contains a small selection of 1 prim sculpted plants and trees (there are many more I have built but space is needed to display them). As yet, time has prevented everything being added to my Xstreet listings but all will appear in due course, the building of new items comes first.
The S&A Design venture is a combination of projects made and designed by myself and my partner, Aang Minotaur (business partner as well as SL and RL partner). We generally design, build and texture together and so aside from the cards and pictures, much of what you see is a collaboration between the two of us.
Many new builds are in the process of creation and will be rezzed in the main S&A Design store as they are finished, and almost all items in the store are left as mod and transfer.
When finances allow, we will take on more land so that more of our build projects can be rezzed for SL residents to browse and maybe purchase, but in the meantime we look forward to you visiting.
Again, thanks to everyone who has visited (and some a number of times) and to all who have purchased from us. Your support enables us to continue producing new items which we hope will appeal to SL residents.
