Whoops! Forgot to mention these poses!

With RL being so busy as of late, I completely forgot to mention these poses!

About a month or so ago, I had stumbled across some unique photography and I was inspired to create these 3 poses...

SSP Wolf pose includes a 11 prim wolf prop and poses suitable for a male AND female avatar:

SSP Owl includes a 3 prim owl prop:

SSP Horns includes a 3 prim skull and horns prop:

And I had COMPLETELY forgotten to blog the $1L Pose of the Month for November. Shame on me. You can pick this pose up on the Marketplace. SSP Stuffed pose includes a 1 prim bean bag chair with 4 texture options. The pose is not built into the chair so you can use it with other furniture items:

Sparrowtree Studios Poses has downsized and moved to another location, so please take note: NEW Sparrowtree Studios Poses location
I will be selling my newest released poses in the store and the past poses I have created can be found on the Marketplace.

$1L Pose of the Month for December

Sparrowtree Studios Poses has released the $1L Pose  of the Month for December.


This pose includes a 5 prim room prop, 1 prim Christmas tree and 2 prim mesh string of lights. You can use the room separately from the tree prop and separately from the mesh string of lights as they are not all linked together.

$1L Pose of the Month for October 2012

There is a NEW $1L Pose of the Month for October at Sparrowtree Studios Poses.

$1L Pose of the Month for October

Sparrowtree Studios Poses released the Ouija pose as the $1L Pose of the Month for October, but the pricing had to be changed due to a request by the creator of the prims I used to create the product. 
I will try to get a new $1L pose for October out soon. This pose is still available in the store but for $50L per my agreement with the prim creator. 
The Ouija pose includes the Ouija board, pointer and pillow--all 1 prim each and NOT linked together so you have creative flexibility to use the props as you like.


Also, if you have joined the Sparrowtree Studios Poses Subscribo in the past, it will be eliminated as of October 24, 2012. 
If you'd like to continue receiving notices and monthly gifts, please join the .:Sparrowtree Studios Poses:. group in-world. 
I cannot keep up with the cost of maintaining the Subscribo membership, hence the decision to use the in-world group.

Last Grenade Free Wednesday 7/11/12

I have decided to close my second store at the Jersey Shore, so this will be my last Grenade Free Wednesday item. 
Real life is demanding more of my attention and I simply don't have the time I need to devote to making new poses every week. 
Also, profits were not matching what I was paying in rent, so that finalized my tough decision. 
I loved being a part of the Jersey Shore. It was fun while it lasted!
Anyway...onto the pose details. Gold On The Ceiling is a 5 prim photo/pose prop with 6 built-in poses. You can pose upside down (on the ceiling) or flip the prop over 180 degrees to pose right side up.

Bills, Bills, Bills

She looks at her beach house and smiles, thinking to herself that there is no place like home.


She decides to check the mail, figuring that it has probably really piled up since she has been out of town for a while.


Seeing the stack of bills waiting for her, she falls over at the sight of them.


She grabs her piggy bank to see how much money she has.


Overwhelmed by the stack, she strips off her clothes, puts on a bikini and heads to the beach. 
The bills will be there tomorrow.
