Collagesity now pretty complete, I feel, on the groundside part. No real big amount of prims left to create something in the sky, and, besides, I want to leave wiggle room for rezzing experiments. So all that’s left it seems is fine tuning. Some pics now…

As you can see from the above photo there are some new structures in Collagesity, mainly on its eastern side. The nature park I envisioned there might not come about. 😦 On the easternmost part of my property is now situated the Marble Tower (far right above), which made its first appearance in Rubi’s VWX Town this past winter. It had no real function there except to serve as town eyecandy. I’m hoping to change that for this go around, and another collage gallery of some kind is a good bet for a functional fit. The cat statue topped Confluence Place next to it is another direct carryover from VWX Town, but I’ll have to work on the building in my skybox — can’t remember exactly how it was put together there. As I recall, it is a mashup of 2, maybe 3 Moard Ling structures. Now perhaps The Bakers can find out what happened in those far corridors, a 237 type mystery. Twin Peaks symbolism has already cropped up in connection with several Collagesity images/locations. Perhaps this represents another tie-in.

Bracket Jupiter is about to reclaim his second floor home at the Bodega Supermarket. Nifty! He’ll help me figure some stuff out about town mysteries, etc.

Baker getting frustrated because he cannot remember how the Confluence Place was put together

The Coolie Building has been moved beside the town’s giant maple, and yet another VWX Town structure has taken its place next to the Bodega Supermarket: what was called Edwardston’s Gallery there or Edwardston’s Building perhaps. It’s function in Rubi is described here a bit [LINK].

… Baker Bloch dreaming in the upper floor of his home the other day.

He was dreaming of a past Collagesity, recent but distant at once. The diner was not in place, the spoon was not there.

He was dreaming of Tired Falls. I am tired. He was tired.

He was dreaming of a symbiosis between Tired Falls and Stonethwaite, UK. Exciting (zzzzz).

Suddenly I’m getting behind in generating text for this here blog. Must work in middle of night. Maybe Hucka D. can help. Below is the falls of Central Stream, tumbling out of Noru’s Collagesity in a northerly direction. Well, technically they don’t gp beyond the northern limits of Noru and also Collagesity, but the idea is in place.

Hucka D.:

Someone came up that stream in the past. A giant.

bb:

Perch?

Hucka D.:

Shadow.

Anyway, we have a cardinal bird perched in a dead tree beside the town’s diner, and very near the queerly mounted head of this Perch fellow. It brings to mind a number of questions. First off, the bird is perched in a tree near Perch — one and the same? Perch, in UMaps, has been directly assoc. with Satin or Satan, who is actually a horse depicted in the movie The Black Stallion. Quote here:

Satan – the Black’s first colt, all black with a white diamond on his forehead. He is at first a dangerous, brutal colt, and nearly kills Alec. Henry eventually tames Satan, turning him into a racing legend. Ultimately Satan and Henry develop a close bond.

More on that soon. I’ve decided to call the single water flow within Collagesity Central Stream. Simple but true; all builds around it, seemingly.

The cascades are perhaps called Tired Falls because of this large tire, present in duplicates of it on my properties probably dating back to 2009. This is an older way to cross Central Stream, before the insertion of Lo Bridge and Hi Bridge upstream. One still has to use the tire, basically, to access the Kidd Tower, which logically becomes an older structure of town. The stairs led one to Baker Bloch’s Home Orange and points west. If Collagesity was built upon an older settlement called Tired Falls, then this is its epicenter. It is here that Shadow Man came up from the plains and established what the related documents called the “Head of Stream.” Is this the same or related to Head of Perch? Is the Shadow Man the same as this Perch fellow? We’ll just have to play wait and see for now. He came, “from the North as the redbird flies.”

I temporarily made the east wall of the diner transparent so that one can see the close relationship between Head of Perch, a second falls emitting from the second floor of the diner itself, and the perched cardinal.

Perch and those diner falls are one.

Temple of TILE set up on the western edge of my land, deleted since I took this snapshot. Perhaps in its place will come the TILE Tower.

Another nice shot of pigeon and Drunk Man’s Ridge’s “aim high” sculpture, this time more from the pigeon’s perspective.

BOB gallery right; Stairs gallery left; pigeon/aim high: center.

1 of 2 doors from Low Way to the Noru History Museum. Must get 2 signs for the doors soon.

The museum’s second, higher door.

Now we’re outside the town’s diner, with its giant spoon seemingly about to scoop up one of Collagesity’s remaining celtic stones, possibly the only one left. Does this, then, represent the removal of the last stone, which have gone the way of the dodo? There use to be at least 6 in town, and legend has that they were originally found in Hector. Where did the others go? Perhaps there is also meaning in the blue bike positioned in front of the spoon and rock.

There’s also a red bike in town, and it’s parked near where Low Way and High Way come back together on the east side of town. As Low Way also contains a blue robot and High Way a red one, we can assume that these color coordinations are meaningful. Low Way (blue) and High Way (red) represent two polarized aspects of one thing (white).

Additional interesting tidbit: as I’m checking now, the red and blue robots of High Way and Low Way respectively are also almost directly north and south of each other. I didn’t plan this either!

Low Bridge on Low Way crossing “Central Stream”. Not sure that stream name will stick. The bridge points directly to the spoon + rock just discussed, as well as the blue bike between them.

Not one but 2 Cardboard Derek Jones loiter near opposite corners of the Bodega Market in the middle of town, perhaps its most central structure overall. This symmetry seems meaningful as well. Will Bracket Jupiter move back into the top part of this market, where he resided was in Rubi’s VWX Town? I also recall that C. Derek Jones became his new BFF there (they both glorified House Greenup and Floydodo). I believe Hucka D. wants to talk about the relationship of Bracket Jupiter’s former “dodo status” and the diner next door and its spoon + rock. Another resurrection symbol?

Next we come to the reincarnated clockwork ballerina, now positioned just above the mysterious firey beginnings of Central Stream. Originally there were 2 twinned red flowers around her, but only one remains. At the time I associated them, and the ballerina, back to the Grady Twins from The Shining movie. Just to the ballerina’s east is the town’s art kiosk, a portal to and from the  outside virtual world, as it were. What means the removal of one of the 2 twinned flowers, if anything? Again, this seems associated with Rubi’s VWX Town, where the same ballerina appeared at the confluence of that town’s 3 streams. Once more it acted as a center. She doesn’t have her 3 blue hoops this go around, nor the pool and the matching 3 (hooped) blue fish.

Along with the accompanying flower, she exists in a triangle made by the conjoined walls of Toxic Art and Fal Mouth Moon galleries.

… I’m down to only about 265 prims left to play around with. But the groundside part of the town is basically finished. And also I’ve rezzed the Temple of TILE now on the eastern end of my parcel — perhaps not technically in Collagesity proper, and, if so, the only building designatable as such.

I’ve also opened up guest galleries BOB (formerly Norum gallery) and Stairs on the west end of town, featuring the collage works of Julie Sadler and Kollage Kid respectively. Both of these artists are among those that I originally exhibited in Sunkland’s Pietmond during the 2010-2011 period. I’ll probably be searching for more collage pieces to exhibit soon. Another new development as of last night is the creation of a town diner in the “waterfall building”. Very nice fit, it seems; pics soon.

“There is a town history here to be sure.”

bb:

A town meeting might be in order.

Hucka D.:

Rezz Karoz.

bb:

And Edwardston Resident.

Hucka D.:

Bracket Jupiter.

bb:

Hucka Doobie!

Hucka D.:

Har!

bb:

Search… you go.

Hucka D.:

After you.

bb:

Search for collages online. New works.

Hucka D.:

Find out who wines and dines at the town diner. Who is “Perch”?

bb:

A cardinal bird perches in the dead tree just outside[ the diner]. Very near that head.

Hucka D.:

When can a Celtic rock become part of a meal? (then answering himself) When it’s food for thought.

bb:

Cool. Coolie Building complete again across Low Way[ from the diner].

Hucka D.:

That diner is a focus.

bb:

Let’s eat?

Baker Bloch can’t quite decipher it.

He goes home to think.
