Our final stop on this week's trip was to a fashion designer with her own grid. From Indigo to Bubblesz, Taarna Welles' little grid. Taarna chatted in voice as Mal Burns asked her a number of questions on behalf of the group.
Taarna is quite a perfectionist, she takes something like 30 to 40 hours to make an item, be it art or a wearable. The woodland of Hidden leaves is studded with sculptures, often hidden in the trunks of trees or nestling in the hillside. Of particular interest is Patefatio Mens, this head. Does it have a brain?
Other lovely pieces include harps, hands, and her naughty-looking toadstools.

The high quality of Taarna's free, mostly full perm, creations was bound to bring to mind the content-theft/permissions-angst/money-making debate.
Taarna Welles: I don't want to sell items. I want to share and make people happy. For me it's a learning curve, and if it makes people happy, why not. It's a free metaverse, so I contribute too! Sometimes people take my things, they can change the content owner on their own grid, I can't do anything about that, so I don't let it worry me. When I see people selling my items as their own, it is a very big compliment.
