Around and around and around...
What goes around comes around / She managed to turn her life around / I know it's around here somewhere / We're just going around in circles / He's no longer around / Take a good look around / Around and around... and around... and around...
The January challenge is all about swirls and spirals, things that go around in circles, and/or sayings that include the word "around"!
Happy New Year, everybody! I'm hosting the January challenge. Let's have some fun, can't wait to see the entries!

Hmmmm I just might enter this time, have a great idea from the past I could try.
Agreed! BTW, I can't remove from the entries thread. I am working on mine now!
Looks like a mod took care of it. Thanks!
Like a Record
(Listen to this to get the full effect!) Can you find the turntable?
Freebies:
No count: Genesis 8 Female, Daz Studio Iray Uber shaders
Paid: Metallic cloth shader used for skirt, fast fog.
I'm back from being sick! I also upgraded my video card so I can actually render using the GPU. This is a game changer for rendering in Daz Studio. My previous video card (AMD) only used CPU and therefore renders took 18-24 hours or more. This only took 10 minutes to render.
All Freebies approved please move to entries
I'm so excited for you!
I made the switch from CPU to GPU about a year ago and it's night and day.
Bonus: I get to play all kinds of gorgeous video games that my previous setup couldn't handle!
Around the World in 80 Days Hours

Round and round it goes, and where it stops, noone knows. Hello new place, be ready, here I come.
Ancient magic invoked. New places, new worlds, new dimensions, new space-time. This is how fairies travel. Here today, gone tomarrow. difficult to find, impossible to catch. That's a fairy's life.

Your entry still needs a title! Unless it's titled "Story"?
The Babina Expression link doesn't work for me, can you double check?
If this is a freebie that's no longer available, you can list it as a No Count.
Karyssa 8 probably also needs to be listed as a bought item?
With those tweaks:
All Freebies approved, please move to entries
(double post)
@BronzeDragon: LOL, you skipped right over everything I wrote, didn't you?
The Karyssa and Babina thing don't really matter since they ultimately don't change anything; but do you mind at least adding a title to your entry?
OOPS !
Sorry I didn't actually read it, just the approved in red, so I moved it. Has title now, Added new link for Karyssa. Changed Babina link. Proble is she moved them to Google Drive because she shut down the blog. Link takes you to main page for all the "REC_" links. Link for rec_babina about 3/4 way down the page. Even so I can't get it to download. So I moved it to no count. The original link did work before
No problem!
Can you also edit your post in the entries thread?
Always around boutiques
They love shopping and never have enough!
No count:
Genesis Female 3 and 8

I tweaked some of the materials and the poses. Set up and rendered within Daz Studio Iray. Postwork done in Pixelmator. I’ve attached the before post render (the one that says Render) and the finished image file.
Please fix the link of your last paid item!
With that tweak:
All Freebies approved, please move to entries
If a temporary freebie is no longer available for free but is now sold at a price, then those items are counted as paid items, even if you got them for free at the time.
So, please move Akemi & Vanessa to the paid section.
But since that still keeps your paid items under 5:

Title: Wibi Chef
Caption: Wibi noticed the little lamb would always run circles around her every time she took the cookies out of the office. Given the round nature of the cookies, Wibi started to wonder if making them into squares would make the little lamb stop hanging around.

This is SO CUTE. I can hardly stand it!!!
Thank you :) I'm glad you like it!
Around, around, looking for a good idea
That's what happens when you have to accomplish a contest theme: you wander around your library, take a look at all your props and characters, "Mmmh, what can I do?" And every model seems to call you, until the idea for your render finally comes...
