Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Hello hello, things are going so crazy round me lately I swear I almost forgot it was Wednesday.  It’s awful when that sort of thing happens… end up feeling rather disconnected.  Anyhow… I have a couple things today.  An outfit and a chore.

The chore is something I’ve been meaning to redo.  It’s the floor scrubbing buckets however with a twist.  When I was first reading the Gorean novels there was a spot where these girls were scrubbing the floors and as the men walked down the corridor boots ringing out they threw themselves to their belly out of respect for them until they passed… only then raising themselves up to resume their labors.  This little thought always tickled me.  I know I’m odd… and onwards we go…. so my idea for my buckets was to have them to be able to be a bit more interactive… at least this is my hope.  Finally I got down to it and got them done.  These buckets not only have TWO different floor scrubbing animations in them, they also have 8 other poses for the role-player.  Most of them are rather submissive in nature though I did include a kneeling animation without the hands crossed at the wrists… or the thighs parted real wide so others outside of a Gorean atmosphere could use it still.  Lower in prims it weighs in at 5 so it won’t eat up your allowance too badly either.  So while scrubbing away at those floors no longer do you have to hastily jump from your place to find an appropriate kneel or way to address someone as they approach!  I think that’s rather nifty myself.

Now onto the outfit.  This little number is rather cute, flaunting your curves, laced up the sides but leaving enough to the imagination and all without showing off too much for the more modest.  Though around my place modest is rather subjective… it is still riding high on the thighs barely covering, hehe.  It’s aptly entitled “Pinstriped”!  Dark toned and done in 4 different colors this time… Red, black, blue, and brown.

So that’s my offering for this Hump Day… I have sooooooooo much coming up soon that I can barely contain myself.  I have lots of content, hunts galore, and the sim should be opening up very very soon!  OMG I just am beside myself… not sure what to do first!  Trying to not get too weighed down too!

Have a great week and I hope ya’ll are doin well.

Farm workers rejoice!  This weeks release is RIGHT up your alley.  Remember the vulo set I did awhile back… tons of birds, roosts, egg gathering chores.  Well I am kind of considering this an addon almost to that sort of thing, to that line.  Now we have chickens!  Some very nice ones too.  Only three prims apiece and the accessory pack is copiable so you can have as many as you want.

Not ONLY do we now gots chickens… I made a lil coop/hutch for them… it could be used for the chickens, vulos, or…. dare I say it…. Bunnies!  Ok, I got that out of my system.  This turned out nice with some very nice shading along the sculpts and throughout.

The one that I really wanted to let you know about is a new chore…. one I have been REALLY wanting for awhile but never had the animation to be able to do.  Scattering feed… like to chickens or birds.  I’m so hyped you wouldn’t believe it, and over something so simple too!  Low prim, it weighs in at 4… embedded animation, and near the landing so you can try it out.

This week saw the release of a delicate silk with sculptured draped top.  The set includes nipple rings, two different draped tops (one with nipple ring and one without), skirts, leg band and arm bands.

Offered with different color options, some with gold metals bands delicately sweeping around the hips and some with silver.  I tried offering it in a few different varieties since I know I can get stuck on silver a lot… but these looked pretty good with gold too.

I also released a new chore… well sort of new.  An old new chore.  I redid my sweeping chore, new sculptured broom and the set is less primmy, adding up to only 3.  I made an attachment like before too so it can be worn anywhere.  This one has a smoother animation, sweeping and then bending to scrub at a particularly nasty spot.  It can be tested and tried out down at the Five Blades location.

Most of this week I’ve been working on trying to come up with a build to use as a temporary location while I work on the main sim.  It’s funny… I have this colossal sized building that is rather overwhelming to house my stuff…. and it almost seems like it is a little bit over the top considering it probably will only be used temporarily.  Ah well.

I hope ya’ll enjoy, and since I got that build kinda going…. the store will probably be moved to a temp location in the sky soon.  I just need to move things up there so that the bulk of inventory is left available.  I hope ya’ll are having an awesome weekend!

This week has flown by!  Here we are, it’s just about Sunday and I haven’t updated or done anything on the blog this week.  *mutters under her breath*

It’s been crazy.  So much going on that here at 2 am my time I’m finally realizing… whoops!

I released a set of sandals that are awesomeness this week.  I know, I’m so modest right?  I can’t help it, I like these ones.  They’re called Phoenix Rising.  I picked the name because the way the prim work at the bottom of the tongue/top are turned out.  It reminded me of a phoenix.  Just an impression I got so I went with it, sometimes those are the best kind.

In 7 different versions… golden and black base texturing and then different variations in either pewter or gold ornamentation.  The black and the gold ones are my absolute favorite, the coloring just stands out and looks really good to me.  I like all of them but that is my favorite.  I think they’re a great accessory for fantasy, maybe Greek or Roman?  A rather pampered slave girl?  Maybe…

I also released a set of cages.  A stacked set of three for role-play.  One girl can be in each cage giving a nice look for capture rp scenes or a slavers home or something.  The other two are singles cages but are RLV enabled with scan and capture.  Once the girl is captured she’s placed within the cage, stripped and held.  I like them, made almost entirely of sculpted prims… shaded nicely too.  One has a linen mat, the other has strew strewn within the bottom so if you feel like being nice letting em have a blanket orrrrrrr not so nice……

You decide!

The Myths and Legends 2 hunt started yesterday too.

I have that out with some hunt tracks, no hint… it’s really not that hard to find.  The hunt prim shoots off yellow sparkles in every direction.  *laughs*  So if in doubt, just look for the lil yellow particles floatin.

The Gorean Grid hunt is starting soon, this time they’re not doing numbered stores.  It’s one of those where you start wherever you want and just sorta pick up the trail as you go.  Never been in a hunt that did this before so I’m a lil curious how it will turn out.

I decided to do the Fortnight Freebie down at the GFM, so if you’re a bargain hunter I’m supposed to be doing that for the next two weeks, I’m setting up tomorrow/today.

Going to keep this short, I’m tired.

Hope you are having a great weekend!

This week I tossed around a few ideas for what I was going to release or do for my Wednesday thing.  I try to do things that I think will be of interest at the time.  For a better part of the day I had mulled over exactly what I could do for Mother’s day coming up on Sunday.  And then it hit me…. so simple really.

Breakfast in bed!  What woman doesn’t warm or melt when the one she cares for takes the time to think of her… bringing her a warm toasty breakfast, awakening her to the sweet company of those she cares about and giving her a few moments of soft fuzziness. So I set to it… working away up in my workshop and came up with a lovely piece that I am happy to release.  A tray with an embedded couples animation set.  The female sits back propped against pillows, headboard, what have you… her legs stretched out in front of her, tray over her lap while her S.O. sits alongside relaxed, arm over her legs talking to her.  What a fine fine thing don’t you think?  The plate has a yummy breakfast all prepared… eggs, bacon and toast with a warm muffin along the side.  Made mostly of sculpted prims it looks lovely… good enough to eat!  Touch the tray to receive a fork to wear… female sits first, and then the male.  No poseballs, and the sits are adjustable through menu.

My other release this week is a set of slave beds.  I have a couple over in the slave gear section but they’re older, use a texture change script that can end up being messed up if you reset it wrong so I finally redid them to something that I prefer a little bit more.  One of them even suspiciously looks like the furred couch/bed that I released awhile back.  Hmmm…. go figure.  There’s four of them, a couple basket types… a couple with the darker outside.  Most have texture change, either the linens can be changed or the basket or both.  One of the great things about it is firstly, it is a lower prim item.  7 prims for one of them and 6 for the others… then obviously the texture change.  Tons of options with those so you can decorate or personalize them a little bit more… then… I made them copiable!  TA DA!  I know, not a big deal right?  Well this is one of those items where if you have multiple slaves then you can let them have their own beds, or use them in a kennel… or stable… or wherever, it makes things so much easier for you the end user I think.  Of course the permissions limit so you can’t transfer but well… can’t have everything.  They’re very reasonably priced for a copiable item like this so come down and see.  Each bed comes with 7 different animations or poses from curled sleep to pleading.

That is about it for now… soooooo much coming up and out in the near future.  I feel a sim rebuild comin on and some brand new naughty goodness to taunt….. err… tempt you with.

Take care!
