Eshi Otawara is back!

After a very sad good­bye let­ter dis­trib­uted by Eshi Otawara last year (one that I think made all of us ques­tion what it is that we really want out of an expe­ri­ence like SL), she is back and cre­at­ing the exquis­ite cou­ture cloth­ing and acces­sories that we have all come to love her for. As a fel­low NPRIL mem­ber, I admire how she never ceases to take design and pull it to the next dimen­sion. Dresses such as the Impe­r­ial Lotus, seen below, and the famous Fish Hook Dress, seen here on her Flickr page, take vir­tual design from flat and 2 dimen­sional design, or “FLART” as Bet­tina Tizzy loves to call it, to a world where only your cre­ativ­ity can limit you. Nat­ural forces such as mate­r­ial and grav­ity are not a con­cern when design­ing within vir­tual worlds, and Eshi is the queen of push­ing these barriers.

Eshi’s new store called “Black Liq­uid’” is a beau­ti­ful cre­ation of new and revamped items. The store seems to morph every time I am there, and although she says she is not sure if she “is back” or not, it seems to me like the SL bug has bit her once again. And I, for one among many, am grate­ful for it!

This “The Impe­r­ial Lotus” dress was given this week as a group gift. You are mad if you do not go to the store and sign up on her group subscriber.
