An 8092 parcel available in Horisme *right next* to the Rubi Forest. You bet I would jump all over this deal if I hadn’t already bought in Noru. Am I tempted to switch? Sure I am! But strangely I really like the Noru parcel — it seems to have unique qualities. So although I could switch I’m thinking I won’t now. I’ve rocked the Rubi experience last winter. If a deal comes around again it comes around again. But it looks like I’m passing on this option. Hmm.

New waterfall in front of the Toxic Art Gallery.

Noru native Karoz will soon be out and about again, I’m thinking.

Baker sits on the upper porch of the Home o’ Fibs. Hoped he enjoyed the view…

… because several hours later the house was gone, replaced by the Power Tower Gowlery on the far east side of my new Noru land. The place has transformed into Collagesity, highlighted by four of my galleries: Gallery Jack (2006-2009 collages), SoSo (2007 collages), Power Tower (2013 collages), and Fal Mouth Moon (2014 collages; most recent).

Notes:

Still have over half my allotted prims free for skybox developments, or a bit under a 1000. Groundside, Collagesity seems basically finished already, except for some interior decorating of the smaller buildings. Is this an actual town like Rubi’s VWX Town? Not really. It’s a totally personal sphere — all my art — and there’s little to connect it to other people’s art. I simply do not have the room this time, and my collages are more numerous than ever before thanks to huge steps forward in 2013 (Gilatona-Lis series) and 2014 (Falmouth series). About 100 collages produced just in the last year and a half (!).

Also on the property are the old VWX Town City Hall, an A-frame house, and the Hole in the Wall bar, which lies at the west end of Drunk Man’s Ridge.

The only pool of water on the property has been created at its east end, containing 3 schools of yellow fish. Not much else in the way of internal topographic features. Trees are mostly found proximate to parcel boundaries.

It’s really a beautiful place, and seems quite large despite being less than 1/2 the area of Rubi’s VWX Town, my last larger parcel. More magic of Noru, I suppose. I’ve owned or rented in this sim quite a number of times now, starting in 2009. A review is in order — perhaps a building devoted to my history with Noru, like I did with Rubi before.

3:42am update:

Gallery Jack has been replaced by the Toxic Art Gallery to save ground space. This also eliminates the need for the SoSo Gallery, since the Oblong series is included in the TAG. Great! Now SoSo might become the Noru History Center. 1011 prims remaining on the property.
