My two galleries that compose the “Mysten Collages” complex face 2 ways: toward the Lilli Field village (Fal Mouth Moon), and toward psimagus Hax’s Medieval Christian town (Red Umbrella). The two galleries in question can actually be called additions or addendums to these two areas, I feel. Notice, for example, how Lilli’s cluster of tall brown trees blend perfectly with the Fal Mouth Moon’s colors and textures…
… and how you can easily enter the gallery from a bend in the topmost road of her community.
And then explore how the Red Umbrella similarly slots perfectly into Mr. Hax’s Mysten Underhill community, the former main entrance precisely centered at the end of one of its grassy lanes.
And Baker Bloch’s home expertly slots in beside the Red Umbrella.
Fal Mouth Moon is a part of Field’s village, and Red Umbrella, along with the fused Bloch home, is part of the Hax village. Take my word for it. This is the Janus faced aspect, or at least the surface part.

Unlike my earlier Collagesity (or VWX Town), the Mysten Collages galleries are not really independent and self fulfilling. They need the 2 larger Mysten communities for broader context and significance. They are not a community in and of themselves. And I think that’s a good thing to happen for me at this juncture in my Second Life experiences.
There is no true center to the Mysten Collage complex except the line that divides the two galleries, which is the same as the Gallery Kiosk, its entry point. To your left will be the entrance to Fal Mouth Moon’s basement exhibit. To your right is the basement door of the Red Umbrella. Simple enough — much simpler than the layout of Minoa’s Collagesity just derezzed.
So we have to turn to the 2 communities for deeper meaning. I’ve mentioned that the Kidd Tower is now part of Mysten Underhill but in a hidden place. Last night I decided I should in all good faith delete this structure. The Kidd must grow up and assume responsibility. Or maybe its the Twinned Kidds, A-L and then O-Z. I think I know where the twins making up the home band Tomato Potato reside; maybe where they play their post-folk concert music as well. And I believe that Artie J. Spongeberg has already made contact with them. According to the visitor’s list, he’s already been snooping around the “Mysten Collages” galleries.
Something just happened here.
