And it just keeps Winding on

So, I recently did a Flash Fiction contest over at the R.F. Burton public Library in New Babbage. Wonderful turnout, had a very enjoyable week reading all the entries, putting the notecard book together, getting the prizes distributed out.. but the theme has just stuck with me.
Wind up Keys...

Now, I just recently posted on one of my new objects, the Heart Filigree Windup key, and I had another idea for a windup key that was just a bit more organic.



To be entirely fair, perhaps it isn't the most steampunky or dolly key looking key in the world, but I just became enamored with having thorns and roses on a wind up key. Personally, my favorite is the brass one, I think the shading comes out more detailed looking.

I've also started thinking about the different colors of keys, and perhaps offering a fatpack for such things. Anyway, these lovely keys are like the others, they animate the avatar with ballet dances, slumped winding positions and play original music box music as you dance. I'm rather pleased with them.

They are available in the store in New Babbage Canals, and also HERE on Marketplace.

Much Ado...

Every so often, I just see something that makes me go.. "Hmmmm, what can I do with that?"
So, I was staring at this sculpt, with curly ques and these rough sticky pointy edges.. and I fell in love with it, but what on earth can i do with it. Well, a lot of things, but the first thing that came to mind yesterday was.. a windup key!

Based on the same concept design as the Butterfly Cog key, this lovely creation has the same menu options and will animate the avatar to dance after being "wound".
It also plays a lovely song that was created by myself. All in all, not bad for a day's work. Now.. I think I need either sleep or coffee..
