Blue Moon Atelier - The art of Mary Layton

Found as a wee babe wandering through the undergrowth dressed in an elaborately arranged collection of leaves, flowers, and feathers, Mary was raised in a small town in North Carolina. She's lived in NC, SC, and GA, but finds her favourite place to be is the UK, where her husband (who thinks she's a bit strange, but loves her just the same) is originally from. Unfortunately, he prefers the States, so Mary is stuck there for the time being. She consoles herself with water colour paints, coloured pencils, pen and ink, and her Wacom tablet creating creatures she'd like to be, or at least be friends with. She has a worrying addiction to Second Life and her husband expects to come home one day to find her chair gently rocking as if recently vacated and Mary waving at him from inside the computer screen.

Obnoxious Linden

I believe most Second Life® legitimate users should read this: https://community.secondlife.com/forums/topic/513064-drd-facing-unfair-tos-enforcement/

See how Linden Labs® shuts down those who complain about their obnoxious vision? That's probably the main reason why SL has been decaying over the years.

Day 20 prompt from The Art of Stephanie Law's #UndyingTalesProject - Mindoro Imperial Pigeon The legend that inspired this image, from Stephanie's prompt: "In the Chinese Guideways Through Mountains & Seas, one of the many creatures in the bestiary is the Jingwei bird, who lives upon Departing-Doves mountain. Once there was a young girl named Nuwa. She was swimming when the Ocean rose up against her and tore her away from the shore, and she drowned. Her spirit however was transformed into a bird, who from that day on flew back and forth from the mountains, carrying twigs and stones which she dropped into the frothing waves. 'To revenge my death, I will fill you up!' she told the Ocean, and is tireless in her daunting task." #UndyingTales2020 #Inktober2020 #MindoroImperialPigeon #endangeredspecies #lovenature #artistsforconservation #natureart #nature #endangeredanimals #mythology #folklore #legends #inktober #drawings #inkdrawings #bird #birds #birdsinart #imperialpigeon #jingwei #chinesefairytale #chinesefolklore https://www.instagram.com/p/CGk_F9THLp_/?igshid=14gb32ccfwheg
