Fishy20002's Succulent Garden Sphere + Rainbowheartcool27's Neon Sign

Hey Jammers! Ok, so the actual Animal Jam Stream contest details are still coming soon! I just wanted to post about the first couple of new Jammer-designed items that have come out today. Because they're special. 

You'll find them in Jam Mart Furniture, right at the top of the first catalog page– and wow oh wow, it looks like both of them are nonmember!

Let's get a closer look at each one:

While I'm normally really picky with items, I'm actually happy with how this came out! It's simplified, yes, but it actually looks like a polished AJ item. It has the chunky geometric curves that make the plants, the bowl, the sand, and even the metal rings look unique. 

It also has some light gradients on the succulent and the metal pieces, and while there could be more of that to flesh out this item, it still looks great! I think many people will really like this item. ^.^

I have some really vine-y indoor plants I'd love to hang like this, but they're so heavy I'd worry they'd fall T^T

My vine-y indoor plants also need to be watered more than the desert plants featured in this item. 

If you've ever noticed that the leaves of many desert plants are thick and rigid, that's because they hold on to a lot more water than other plants! Because many desert plants only need to be watered every few weeks, sometimes it makes sense to have them in a hanging vessel like that.

If the wall can support them, that is...

Moving on, we also have a new neon sign! A nonmember neon sign, in fact– this might be the first one ever.

It looks pretty alright in its display in Jam Mart Furniture, but it does have some small gaps when you place it in a den:

If you look closely at it, you'll see some white spots, like the bottom left of the letter L. It's also kind of pixelated, which makes it feel a bit out of place in my den, but maybe not everyone will be bothered by it.

Despite its flaws, I think many nonmembers will find some good use for it when designing themed dens! I can imagine this working in an arcade den, a shop den, a hair salon den... the possibilities are endless. :3

And as you may have guessed, both of these items come in a bunch of different colors aside from their defaults! 

The purple-y signs remind me of the old Play Wild Party...

It's kind of funny how out of all of these Garden Sphere color options, there isn't a normal green color for the spiky plant in front. :P

But all in all, these are some pretty good items! I'm glad we got 'em, and big thanks to Fishy20002 and Rainbowheartcool27 for being their designers. 

See you in Jamaa~
