Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Friday I released a couple things but didn’t get around to posting about it.  This past week has been massively crazy for me, I almost forgot to place all this on here.

First is the camisk.  A very nice little number that is a little bit different I think.  The wrap around top covers the breasts with a little keyhole in between showing just a little bit of skin, then gold trim wraps around beneath the breast… to go around the back.  The bottom of the camisk is sheer material sweeping down along the hip.  It was one of those things I was working on and thought turned out pretty nice.  The top is flowered, and I have to admit… the black and gold one is my favorite but it is in four different patterns.

The chores release for this week was a kneeling kneading dough.  Pretty self explanatory.   Low rustic type table with bread dough on it, a wee bag of flour…. the girl rocks back and forth, kneeling while she works kneading the dough on the table.  A nice addition to places that are a little rougher I would think.  Camps maybe, the plains perhaps… the desert camps?  Out on the prairies?  I think it could have a nice feel in a few places.

The other is a splitting/chopping wood.  Long sequence done very nicely, the chore itself is scripted to follow along with the animation done in steps.  It really is one of my best ones I think, and low in prims.  Only 7 but it doesn’t look like it.  You split the initial log, the log splits falling to the ground… then you walk around the stump to the waiting logs, pick one up then place it on the stump.  The log waits on the stump and you walk around the back to split that one… then repeat.  The chore uses temporary prims for the splitting logs and has it so that the log disappears/reappears while you act it out.  Like I said.  It is done very nicely…

I have more chore/work type stuff coming out soon probably since I have been on a kick working on those lately.  I have some furniture concepts I’m working up too… as well as a few hunts coming up.  The Myths and Legends hunt starts real soon and I’m also participating in the Gorean Merchant Caste hunt.

I always love doin those lil things…

Till later.

Told you I’d get em done!  Woot woot! Don’t tell anyone I finished up the packaging and such while watching Monday Night Football.  By the way, tonight’s game was pretty good.  I’m an odd one… I really do like football, and I’m a female.  *laughs!*

Anyhow!!

Brand new and outta the workshop is the Wicked Fantasy set… only available in the lucky chairs you can win your way into this sexy little number if you want to.  With two different ragged shirts, ragged prim skirts, two different sets of arm wraps, one with netting… one without, and then two different sets of leg wraps, one with and then without the netting you can be sure you won’t feel like you’re compromising with this one.  It was supposed to start out as a Halloween, wicked witch kind of ensemble but morphed into its current form.  Sometimes it is easier to let things go the way they go without trying too hard… so this is what I came up with.  It should work alright in different settings… was thinking fantasy as well as Gorean.  Could picture a dark elf wearin something like that hmm?  *chuckles*

I also created a cute little set of flats with a wee lil pumpkin patch along the toe.  Vines and pumpkins decorate a mossy/olive green leather flat.  Also available in the lucky chair.

I got a new discount camisk out, and placed out the Apple Bob!  I threw at least four different camisks in there, a shirt for the guys, a set of sandals for the guys, one of the kirtle/camisk sets, think I even threw a decoration for autumn in there or two for something different… so there’s a lot to try your luck at if you’re feelin like sticking around a bit.

I hope ya’ll have fun with it.  Talk soon!

I have finally got something new for the lucky chairs for this month!!

Ohhh, I’m going to finish up the packaging and have them out tomorrow at the latest.  Yay!

Something to look forward to.  *chuckles*

Hmmm…. wonder if I should switch the mania boards.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh and I got an apple bob that I’m going to put out too.

I’m going to go lie down and catch a few Zzzzz’s but I’ll be back soon!

Friday I made a few releases but didn’t post about them.  This week has been different since family has been in town so I’m a little behind in a few things or distracted.  I got the latest version of Photoshop too!  YAY!  Of course, now I gotta crack that baby open…. I’m -really- wanting to get a graphics tablet, that’ll be my next big purchase.  Anyhow onto the more interesting news for ya’ll.

Three brand new chores!  Technically four but one is similar to the other.  First up we have for all the laundresses, and hard working ladies out there a new ironing station.  My first is a kneeling one, this one is standing with a larger table, draped linens, and a shelf with folded linens.  I’ve added in the package a laundry basket too that isn’t pictured on the box.  I know not everyone really identified with the kneeling one and this one is a lot less prims, only 9 for the table which helps for people who want to have this sort of thing out and about… but have to be careful.

Second is the kneeling washing dishes station that I had for the 25L Tuesday last week.  Nicely animated like my other chores, dunking your arms into the water.  Lots of dishes spread around and rustic type texturing.  I thought it would be great for camps and things like that since the basin is a tub.  That makes it a little unique in its own way.

Third and final chore release was a beating the rugs, and then beating the furs.  Simple styling, rugs or furs tossed up over top of the line, and a rug beater included… just click to receive and then right click to sit and get to work.

All the chores have embedded adjustable sits so that you don’t have any ugly hover text… no extra poseballs to add to the prims and ease of use.

Beyond the chores I have been adding lil autumn accents around the landing zone.  Cornstalks, pumpkin patches, a scarecrow, straw bales… that sort of thing.  They all look really nice and have been created to give you something fun for the season or your farm.
