.. the marfa collection ..

Nodnol Jameson has been a busy busy bee over the past weeks as she prepared for the opening of her new store – Kraftwork.  I shared the amazing store location last post and today I’m previewing her release for the “Lost and Found” event that opens tomorrow (November 22, 2016).  This set includes a sofa, small side table, a rug, a 2-frame set and a longhorn skull – all part of The Marfa Collection from Kraftwork.

In this second pic, the pose is from the sofa which has both single and couple poses. It’s great for 2 friends or a more romantic couple.  The cute little table holds a diary and the detail is so awesome.  The prints are simple but have such a sweet message.  The skull (seen in the top pic) is colorful and very detailed as well. And the rug has a fur texture that you could just bury your toes in.

Be sure to check out Kraftwork at this month’s Lost and Found starting tomorrow.  And to keep up with all the awesomeness that Nod is bringing to the grid – be sure to like the Kraftwork Facebook page too!

I always love finding new creators and creations in our virtual world.  This time I’ve been blessed to find that new creator amongst my friends.  Nodnol Jameson is not new to Second Life, but she is just now bringing her 3D creation skills to the grid.  With her new store, Kraftwork, she presents whimsical, unique, useful and cool creations for our homes.  Nod is very creative and fun-loving and this shows with the items that she has created.  With the help of her  partner, Oobleck (Allagash) the Kraftwork brand has been pre-marketed and received very favorably via social media and word of mouth.  If you are familiar with the couple, you might also remember that this is the team that brought us “West of the Rain“, a sim that I blogged a few months ago.

I finally had the opportunity to visit the new store last night.  First of all, the Kraftwork store makes me smile from the landing point through the build.  It is located inside a cardboard house in the sky – the same house that as a smaller model serves as the packaging for the goods sold in the store.  As you walk in and follow the arrows drawn on the cardboard, you pass cardboard flowers, trees, and even a car!  The actual store build is also Nod’s own design and is available for sale too – a concrete open space that works perfectly for this purpose.

Nod has put together a variety of items to start up Kraftwork including chairs, tables, a bed, wall decor, lights, etc.  It has an eclectic creative vibe and most anyone will find something that they love and will fit well in their virtual home.  The details on the pieces are well defined and you can see the care that Nod has taken to present a good product and design for her customers.  The textures fit the pieces wonderfully and there are color change options in several of the items too.  I liked all the animations too – good smooth fun single and couples options.

Kraftwork officially opened to the public today.  I think you should all check out this new designer and store as soon as you can!  Nod plans to release new items every week or so.  And I have a feeling we are in store for some more amazingly fun, creative, useful and artistic items!
