High Caste Colors - Reading Cushions


A good book and a cup of wonderful tea (or at times coffee) can be the ticket to a most relaxing afternoon. There are dozens upon dozens of books in the public domain available to read via notecard or weblink on SecondLife. (Look up Alliance Virtual Library, The Library @ Driftwood Beach, Virtual Harlem Books, and The House of Wu/The Reading Room in Caledon Victoria City.)


There is something psychological, too, about having your inworld self appearing to relax and read while your firstworld self enjoys a book, or studies for the next exam, or perhaps just goes through your inventory during a lull in your day.


These cushions already have a book open and waiting, one I felt deserved real print on the pages, and a real spine and leather-bound covers. It took me an hour to find and edit everything I wanted, correcting the texture repeats and sizings on the book itself, and essentially make it as realistic as I could while remaining low-prim.






I am hoping to add sub-Caste and lower Caste colors to this collection soon. If you or anyone you know has a special request, let me know --- I would be glad to discuss it and see what we can come up with!

I wish you a perfect springtime day,

After A Year...


It's May! The lovely month of May!

Into The Wilderness and her sister store, Into The Closet, have been around for a year. As a reward to long time customers and to those just learning about us, I have begun a group for the stores in HippoGroups. This will not take up one of those increasingly-precious slots SL gives us for inworld groups, plus you will not be interrupted inworld by sudden outbursts in group chat.

This month Into The Wilderness is pleased to offer a hay wagon for the group gift. It has five different sits, all animated:

The bottom railing
The baseboard
The folded blanket
The back haybale
The tilted haybale

I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoyed making it. (Apart from a small bit of frustration when first getting the sits to work *laughs*) Please stop by the shops and look for new releases coming soon!

Good wishes to all,

Julienn Sands



zenda and julienn, not nearly as placid as they look.











yatoula in her daydreams, one of the most caring
people I know. Although who knows what is
really going on in that fiery mind? *laughs*









Lazing around on a sweet evening in early May.
There might still be chores to do, but the hay bales
are so inviting....
