Spotlight on Amaretto Magic…. Part 1

Happy Thursday!  I am very excited about this week’s Spotlight as I’m going to infuse it with a little Amaretto magic!!!!!!

Many of you will remember from school learning to use the color wheel.  Yellow and blue make green, yellow and red make orange, blue and red make purple.  Well this week I’m going to show you how you can create new colors using the hues and traits in Amaretto horses!

As many of you already know and some of you are just discovering you can create a little bit of Amaretto magic by mixing the different combinations of hues and traits to come up with new and exciting colors. For this week’s magic demonstration I am going to show you some of the beautiful results you can achieve by mixing the Teal hue with different traits.

I challenge you all to pull out your own color wheel and put your thinking caps on and come up with a fabulous new color combination using the existing hues and traits!  If you have a special project you’re working on using a mixture of hues and traits to come up with a whole new color please let me know so I can share it with the community in another edition of Amaretto Spotlight on Magic.

Special thanks to Pam Nikitin, Eve Greymoon and Lisabella Lane for allowing me to photograph their beautiful horses for this Spotlight!  Great horses ladies!

 

 

The beauty in this picture below is a “Quad Green”. She is a Black Walker, Peridot HeartShine eye, Long, Long, Coat Gleam High, Coat Hue Teal, Hair Hue Teal, Ankh Branding with Green Socks and a Green Bridle.  What a lovely difference the teal makes!

What happens when your breedable goes missing?

Happy Tuesday!! Today I am going to talk to you about missing breedables. Missing breedables are a scary issue that can occur in SL. One minute your favorite breedable is there alive and well and the next thing you know it is missing! Now this is where naming your breedable and keeping record of your breedables UUIDs comes in handy. You will need some information on your breedable to help the CSR locate it. The more information you can provide in the ticket, the more likely the CSR will be able to get your precious breedable back to you. With missing birthed breedables, the UUID and name of the breedable is usually sufficent enough to locate it. If the breedable has not been birthed, the UUID, name (if you have named it), and the parental information is usually enough to locate it.

So let’s recap some important information that may be needed for missing breedables:

1. Always name your breedables, even bundles! It’s a good idea to name them a unique name so it will be easier to locate them if they go missing.

2. Keep record of your breedables UUIDs.

3. Keep record of your breedables parental information.

Please note, when a birthed breedable goes missing it will be returned to you with basic stats because we have only the partial uuid. So you see, having as much information as possible will ensure that your ticket goes as smoothly as possible and that your horse gets returned to you safe and sound.

Breedable Spotlight Knows Color is Cute!

Happy Thursday Amaretto!  I’m back this week with a colorful new spotlight that I just “nose” will make the K-9 breeders happy!  That’s right this week I want to show you the super cute nose colors you can add to your K-9s projects to infuse a little more color into your Amaretto world.

For those of you that follow my spotlights each week you’ve already figured out that I love to make the traits on my breedables match in one way or another so the colored noses fit right into my plans!

I have the blue project that I wrote about in an earlier spotlight that looks lovely with the Blueberry nose.  I am now searching far and wide for what I want to put with the other nose colors. The possibilities are endless!

I can’t wait to get the orange nose with an Orangesicle Confection eye, that will be so pretty! Of course the Cherry Pie eye needs to go with the Cherry Nose and the Grape nose with the Purp Fizz eye.  These are just a few examples of the massive list of projects that you can come up with for your K-9s.

I’m including pictures of the newer nose colors at the bottom as inspiration for you to begin your own colorful new K-9 project!

When you have a great idea for a project message me and tell me about it and you never know your project might get the spotlight on it!

Until next time, Happy Breeding!

Give us those Suggestions!

Hello Amaretto community!

I was going around to each Amaretto location and thought it might be a good idea to write a connection about our suggestion boxes. To submit a suggestion to Amaretto you can use the ticket system or you can go inworld to any of our horse, k-9, or bird locations and drop a note in the suggestion box http://amarettobreedables.com/pages/locations. Now these boxes are not for issues with your animals such as lost or duplicated horses/k-9s/birds, these are for your suggestions about new ideas, traits etc. We do read each and every one and some of these suggestions have actually been implemented. So show us your creative side and drop us a note! Have attached a picture below so you can see what our suggestion boxes look like.

Until next time, Happy Breeding!
