The Songbird Garden
In-world

Hello and thank you for sauntering through the Songbird garden update blog. With each shape sculpted evoking a particular facet of nature in mind depending on her shape name, we hope to donate a bit of our adoration for creating symbolic shapes to the grid and to share our passion for interpreting nature and beauty with you.
We hope to offer something different to the Second Life community at qbee through the love and inspiration poured into every individual shape and hope that you can find a shape that speaks out to you through her appearance. Each shape isn't merely a number within our garden shop, but an individual project sincerely developed with plenty of influences mind and we're proud of each of our shapes offered in their unique variety.
When considering a shape, we use every facet of the flower she signifies, whether through the appearance of the flora to the symbolism and lore behind the plant itself, every shape holds some reason as to why she's sculpted the way she is in every aspect. Beyond influences of nature meshed with classical music and Radio Hyrule playing at the House of Songbird, Japanese ball-jointed dolls also deliver inspiration among considering the other lovely shapes we've seen throughout our travels in Second Life. With many influences, we aspire for our shapes to blossom and bud into the beautiful flowerets they represent fully.
For purely aesthetic reasons, our shape portraits have had color additions and other texures overlaying the close shot and body shot, we've always made truth our priority, it's imperative that each shape is properly demonstrated to you.
We're offering you shapes, not skins nor hair nor eyes nor wardrobe, and while the stylecard demonstrates what resources were used to achieve the portrait's look, our portraits are not enhanced in any way to distort the shape from how it'd look in-game under the proper lighting provided.
While aesthetic qualities mean much to us, showing you what the shape truly looks like through facial contours and the shape of her body are even more meaningful so no image of ours is graphically enhanced to change the look of the shape itself in any way. This is and will always be our first priority.
Refunds aren't given under any circumstances. We've promised stylecards and lighting settings with every shape and have included every resource possible to ensure your happiness with the shape you've selected. There's no reason for dissatisfaction resulting in a refund and all of our shapes have been tested by several others to guarantee that they're well-liked and proportionate under a utilized sylecard and the lovely lighting settings provided.
However if part of the shape didn't deliver properly (as this happens much too often, please send a notecard or IM to 'Deerylou Resident' and I will be more than happy to send you the missing part of the flower you purchased. Please provide an order number when doing this.
All of our shapes can be both modified and copied minus the promo edition of Hibiscus, available in three height varieties. I find it ridiculous when creators lock their shapes especially when residents' perspectives of the ideal height vary so much, so qbee will always have its shapes copyable and ready to be modified to your liking.
Hello, I am Shika (Deer) 鹿 Songbird (or to my ponies and bronies, Fluttershy/Flutterdeer) and I adore all that's plastic, flowery, nature-filled, lacy, colorful, and full of animals AND NERD REFERENCES. Second Life could really use some more of all of these things and each heavily inspires me. ♡
I was given the nickname "Queen Bee" a very, very long time ago by my RL friends for my ability to initiate new ideas and have my worker bees follow me throughout my crazy concepts. My currently enslaved (just kidding OR AM I? :) worker bees are Miki/Rarity and Eth/Pinkie Pie, the other two members of our Pink Head Crew trio. Miki is my refined twin sister with a penchant for all that's floral and Victorian and Eth is our fun-loving best friend and my partner. We partake in a plethora of activities together both online and offline when not perusing a woodland sim (Much to their dismays, sorry!) or resting in front of our peacock-ridden beachfront home's television watching the anime Ranma 1/2 and commenting on every little thing. We also practically live in the Queen Bee shop and it isn't rare to see us spending time together huddled around the cashier desk.
We're a really fun group and started our shop by making soundbytes for us to have even more fun in-game. We've made many friends with common interests along the way who understood our nerdy references and for that we're grateful. We decided to start Queen Bee as a way of further contributing to the SL community a facet of our interests and passions and hope you can feel part of our love.
Shapes have been an interest of ours throughout every game offering customization so it was only natural that our once geekery-only Second Life shop would transform into a shape shop at some point as well and we're loving every moment of pouring our passion into every shape.. We hope to continue growing our garden with new shapes, soundbytes, and anything else our future may hold - Eth keeps saying bikinis are next but I feel that we're to be shapemaking for a bit now as I love initiating every shape project and watching it flourish with my fellow shopkeepers. :)
❀
All of our shapes are made with the utmost love, we pour our hearts into every shape and are inspired individually to make each one special. We hope that you enjoy our Songbird garden of shapes too and spread the seedlings and love amongst your Second Life friends! ♡
