Beginnings

First of all, I would like to thank all of the fashion reviewers for taking the time to test out my products. I would also like to thank the residents who have purchased HoL eyewear. You are helping me stay in business.

I started out in SL, after hearing about it in a news article, running around trying to figure out what the deal is. For the first couple of days, I tried to focus what the 'goal' is. Of course, there is no ‘goal’; SL is not really a game as it is more of a graphical chat room.

After a time, I was at a crossroads. Do I stop this seemingly pointless experience and remove it from my computer, or do I try delving deeper and seeing what the hubbub is all about.

I took the later and began crafting very simple objects. They were useless objects that EVERYONE makes when they first start building; large simple buildings, small jewelry pieces, and even some abstract experiments. Weeks later, after I became bored with the whole idea of crafting these things, I came across an avatar who was wearing a pair of sunglasses. They appeared to look very out of place for some reason. After closer inspection, I realized that they were a graphic, posted onto a transparent prim and hastily fastened to two crude frame arms.

I thought, Hell, I can do a better job that that. So I gave it a shot. My first frames were terrible. I realized just how difficult linking up the components would be and it would take a lot more effort to create a half decent pair. More weeks would pass, and as I spent hour after hour constructing my first set, I found that I completely enjoy the experience of building eyewear.

After I created and abandoned several of my first pairs, I finalized what is known now as my Cappa frames. These were the first, that I have been pleased enough with, to become available to the public and I have been creating more frames ever since.
