Back to School

 


Yes, we had our fun.

Yes, we had our adventures.

Yes, we had time to relax.

But it is time to prepare for the new school year.


You probably will be getting your list of schools supplies soon.

Or you are just starting your search for some very unique items to use and carry with you through the new year.


If that is the case, then I highly recommend you visit my online stores.

I bet you will be able to find some very nice options to accessorize your selective taste and style.

Photos, Image Creation and Products

I have always been a creative person, since the day I knew how to walk. My creative nature first started with the written word and musical instrument, the saxophone, in my youth, but over the years it has grown into other creative areas. My focus in this post is to shine the light on my creativity toward my photos and images. 

When I first started with exploring and playing around with image creations, I was using Gimp to showcase my images on my SecondLife marketplace and Sim, OTs Arts. My desire to share my creative side of my nature grew, that I started looking for places outside of SecondLife to share with others. I discovered a website that started with the letter "R," during the time when people were disputing about intellectual property and rights on the internet. Being so new to the internet world too and being so excited to share my photos and images, I focused all my attention on the "R" product website. I was even starting to make a little money, and that got my blood flowing too.  Then all of a sudden, the "R" website started sending my emails about red flags and problems with my account. Still new to the whole thing, I try my best to comply with the company's rules and suggestions until my account was pretty much scrubbed bare. When my account still continued to be under restrictions, and still confused of the reason, I reached out multiple times for guidance and assistance. All I got for reaching out was a very rude message of not making another account with them and in seconds my site was permanently deleted with no further or useful information as to why my site got deleted.

Since then, I have been nursing my creative wounds and self-esteem. I pretty much felt defeated and deflated for several years. But I never stopped taking pictures or tiptoeing into the Gimp program to make unique images. With the only outlet to showcase my creativity and images, I continue to use Secondlife. After a while, I realize I have a huge problem, I have all these images and photos on my computer and have no good place to showcase and not get pirated myself. So, in the year of 2020, I started looking for a website that encourage creative people to showcase their art and be able to sell it as well.  Learning my lesson from putting all my eggs in one location and failed, I decided to join 3 new websites. The three new dropshipping websites I joined are: Society6, Zazzle, and Artsadd. Between all 3 of these sites, I have over 100 image designs on over 1,000 products for others to browse and enjoy. Check below for each dropshipping website and see for yourself what I have to offer.

And please check back often, because I still have over 1000 images still stuck on my computer just waiting to be uploaded for others to enjoy. I am certain between these 3 sites you will find the perfect gift or item to give to a special person or celebrate a special occasion, or event. Another added bonus, 2 out of the 3 listed sites you can even customize the image of the product you like. So, you can add your own unique twist to my creation to make it more personal and unique to you. So happy browsing.

Welcome



Welcome to OTelia's Arts (or OTs Arts for short). An online business that links all my sites I used to create, publish, showcase, and promote my interests, skills and creativity. OTs Arts first came into being in 2015 simply by accident, when exploring the virtual world called the Redlightcenter (RLC) for the first time. It is also around the time when the Fifty Shades of Grey (Movies and Books) became a focal point of conversation and interest to a society that had been so closed minded and sheltered from the taboo and bizarre things like BDSM and other fetishes that are hidden from the rest of the world. I have always been a bookworm or a wordsmith for as long as I can remember, but before virtual worlds, stories like the Fifty Shades of Grey and other internet resources entered my stratosphere, I felt trapped and limited in exploring myself, showcase my skills and sharing my creativity to the rest of the world. 


Since then, OTs Arts has moved from RLC virtual platform to Second Life virtual platform. Which has grown from a little idea and desire, into a Mall Sim in Secondlife where people all over the virtual world can visit and browse at their leisure all the creations I have on display.  If people are pressed for time, they can simply visit and shop at my Second Life marketplace. Anyone that visits either place will be pleasantly surprised as to what is on display. They will find images, word art, clothes, furniture and many more. And still more to come. 



Now I am branching out from the virtual world to other real sites like: Society 6, Zazzle, and ArtsAdd, where I can upload images to their sites, and they produce products that people all over the internet and world can browse and shop. 


For those of you who are not interested in shopping, maybe entertainment is your cup of tea. Then feel free to check out my Google Blogger, or my Youtube Channel. On Google Blogger, you will see my writing skills and thought process into action. You will read blogs on many different topics and subjects. From delightful poems, reviews to thought provoking stories and articles. 


For total entertainment that requires no or minimal reading, then go check out my Youtube Channel. You will see my skill as a video content creator and a tenor saxophone player on display. 




If you want to stay tuned to upcoming events, deals, and more check back often with my Google Blogger or join my Facebook Page


If you want to get to know this creator better, check out "Who Is OTelia?" blog, to get more information.



Until then, happy exploring.

Who Is OTelia?



 
  

 I am the spiritual and creative persona of the one that is struggling to survive this beautiful, hard, unpredictable, and awe inspiring world.

 

    I am the Mistress of my own universe. I am claimed by no one. And that is exactly how I like it. I am no longer interested in being part of society's unforgiven shackles and bias limitations. I am interested in exploring the unknown, the strange, embracing the beauty of this world, and disapproving my own pre-program limitations. But I am far from being a Dominant, I do not get my kicks off in controlling others. I have no interest in that anyway. My interest is based purely on seeking pleasure, joy, and having fun.


    I am a creative, open-minded, and curious person with a kind heart. My creativity is intertwined in many different genres. It brings me joy if I can provide either; pleasure, entertainment, enjoyment, and/or encouragement through my creativity, my presence, or a brilliant word. 

 

    I am also a free spirit... Meaning I have the desire to freely explore this world and discover more about me as a person.

 

    I seek those who will be a positive influence as I continue my journey in the realm of self discovery, self awareness, and self improving.

 

    If you decide to embrace my creative and spiritual self, then you will see the truth of me within each word and within each creation I decide to share.


I invite you to check out OT's Arts and see for yourself what I have to offer.


If you like to contact me for creative reasons then you can leave a message in my inbox at my Mall Sim. But, if you are looking to have some mature fun, then you can use this link, to see if we fit and maybe have some fun in the process.
