How You Can Construct a Meaningful Art Compilation
When it comes to art, in particular, there is often a greater emphasis on aesthetic appeal than meaning. Now, this is perfectly fine – after all, paintings and sculptures are meant to be looked and admired. Still, it can be quite lovely to have a collection of pieces that have a great deal of personal significance to you. Now, if you have been to a few galleries or looked at pieces online and have yet to come across paintings, don’t fret. Here you will be able to find some guidance on how you can build up such an assemblage:
Look Back at Your Own Memories
One of the reasons that you may feel disconnected from your previous paintings is because they don’t have ties to your past. This is why it is a good idea to think back on your own memories. What special moments or events stand out to you? It could be a family outing, your wedding, or even a minor moment. Once you have discovered what you are drawn to, find pieces that evoke a similar sensation. Imagine for instance, that you went camping quite often as a child. Perhaps looking for nature-based paintings or ones of the night sky may be more significant to you.

Connect with the Artist
Each painting, sculptor, or other art piece contains a little bit of the artist. This is particularly true for aboriginal artists who are conveying a sense of self and culture in their work. Due to this, you may actually find it quite helpful to speak with the painter who created a particular piece. This should be relatively easy if the artist is from the same area that you are living in. Even if you can’t get a hold of the painter, you can still find out their inspiration. Art galleries or even the painters themselves may provide a short description alongside the piece. This will give you an idea of what emotion or story is being exhibited.
Look in Different Places
There is no doubt that some of the best pieces will reside in galleries. That doesn’t mean, however, that this is the only place to find paintings or other artwork. There a lot of up and coming painters that still aren’t represented. Therefore, you will not be able to find their work at an exhibition. If you are curious about finding new talent or something fresh to appeal to you, look at local painters who are making a name for themselves. You may have to visit smaller exhibitions to see what they are capable of.
Make it Yourself
To truly make the collection meaningful, why not add one or two pieces that you have created by yourself. You don’t need to be talented or even all that good. Even a photograph collage can work as it can have great value to you. By using some of the work that you have done, you will certainly be providing that personal touch.
This is how you can find pieces that mean a great deal to you. By doing so, you will be able to have a personal connection with your artwork.
New Friends
Today my faith in human nature may not have been restored, but it was soundly nudged in that direction. I was left a couple of comments by a fellow Simmer that made me feel that maybe it's okay to be me.
Let me tell you who I am.
I am fun, I love to love, I love to make houses for TSR. I love Simming. I have two daughters and a granddaughter who is not quite 4 years old yet and she is my mini me. She is coming to live with us, she and her mommy and I couldn't be more happy.
I love little furry dogs. I find humor in cats. My husband and I love to laugh with each other and we kid around in different voices for fun.
I live in a 155 year old Victorian farm house in the middle of a town in Maine. I was born in West Virginia. I am a country girl.
If someone is in trouble, I help. If someone is sad, I comfort them. When someone is nasty to me, I get tough, and I fight back.
I am half Newfoundlander.
I am the last of five children.
I am a human being and I deserve love and respect because I live my life to please God.
That is who I am. I like me.
Let's put down all the bullshit and be friends because life is short and if you're going to live it to be an *sshole, you deserve everything you get. But if you live your life to be good and kind, you deserve love and friendship. Loyalty is important too, but truth trumps that.
God trumps all.
Lets be friends.
Have a beautiful day! <3
12 MILLION DOWNLOADS
Well now, who would have thought! Not me that's for certain. . . .but, the 12 millionth download rolled through uneventfully . . .and probably un-noticed by anyone but me. . .just like these posts LOL . . sorta.
I think I'm coming to the end of my usefulness though . . . so am emptying the holding folders right now . . and when they are closed off, then so will I be.
Heartfelt thanks to all those lovely people who STILL manage to comment . . .and to all those lovely anonymous downloaders who don't . . . download totals are earned not created, so this milestone would be un-achieved without you all.
Love and bye for the time being. xox

Might Miss an Upload Date
I'm heading down to Kentucky for the eclispe this week. I might not have time to make CC For next weekend.
So just a warning there might not be an upload on the 27th.
You never know, I might actually be able to sqeeze in some free time.
Another little heads up, school is returning soon for me. So my upload rate may turn every other week if it is too much stress.
It is hrad managing High School and Custom Content.
10th grade year already, I can't believe it! Soon I will be graduating, scary to think about.
Anyway, I hope you all are understanding of what the future may hold.
It is hard being a 15 year old managing so many things, but hey! Practice for the real world, am I right?!
Thanks again,
Emma
Coastal series
When Sims4 was released and we were still creating for Sims3 game, we started to receive messages from people requesting us to bring Coastal series for Sims4. On that time we still didn't have Sims4 ourselves... long time ago indeed ^^ After that, we received some more requests for these beachy sets and around August 2016 we decided to bring Coastal back. We had 8 pieces made but since it is a large project and we were focused on other sets, we kept these few pieces saved on a flash drive. We completely forgot it.
Now, around July 2017, a person asked if we had plans to bring Coastal to Sims4. And now we said "YES! Now it's the time" :)
We will be bringing all Coastal Series slowly because our free time is sparse lately and also because our computer ( the one we use to take pictures from) is not very well.
So sorry we delayed so much to bring this series to Sims4 but still hope you enjoy it!
Happy simming :)
