Roawenwood: Design & Craft

It’s here!!!!!!!!!

Ok, maybe you didn’t hear me….

IT’S HERE, IT’S HERE!  *bounces around in circles eyes shining before collecting herself, clears her throat fluffs her hair a few times then settling upon one of the perches around the landing before jumping back up with a bell in her hand clanging it madly.*   IT’S HERE!  IT’S HERE!

·!¦[·      TWISTED HUNT FALL 2011 - UNSEELIE        ·]¦!·

I have had SOOOOOOOOO much fun with this theme you can’t even imagine.  I might have gone a little overboard but I had planned on doing this stuff for the most part anyhow.

The main prize is twisting and turning not too far from the landing point for you to find… I had to be a teeny bit devious, there’s a couple decoys.  *coughs* but I was nicer than some folks, least mine don’t tp you to different spots around the store!

The starting point of the hunt is if you want to go from the beginning:  http://slurl.com/secondlife/Lasombra/121/170/25

|I{•——» COURT OF THE UNSEELIE MINI HUNT «——•}I|

Over tucked along the flagstones there’s a small space where you will find a set of dark ruins where the Unseelie hold their court.  There are NINE gifts hidden amongst the rubble and grasses…. Seriously, I wasn’t planning on quite that much but then I couldn’t decide which ones to not use so you got them all.

|I{•——» TWISTED GACHA «——•}I|

The CUTEST little sit spot for foresty types or whoever, perfect for your garden and they’re in the gacha so each one is ONLY 15L, the BEST part?!  I made them transfer so you can collect, or trade them up as you get them if someone else is nearby who wants the color you have.  Each one has a different sit or fun pose to play with.  There’s 7 different colors

╚»╚»   They’re in the Twisted Skully Gacha Machine near the Twisted Easel at the landing point  «╝«╝

|I{•——» TWISTED SOUVENIR «——•}I|

I’ve been contemplating rotating out the souvenirs each week so there is a new one each week for the hunt, which would make 4…. so in that spirit here’s the first one.  Twisted Hunt folks will appreciate the fun in it.   It’s out for sale at the base of the easel at the landing point.

·!¦[·      LUCKY CHAIR UPDATES        ·]¦!·                                               

It’s the first, which means I like to update this anyhow but also because of the start of the hunt it’s -perfect- timing.  I left the Faylinn outfit in there for now but added two other little accessories in honor of the color scheme and hunt theme.   There’s a pair of wings, and a new set of leggings.

Yay!! Congrats and Thank You for being a part of my SL!!

Remember it is easy to get in on the chance to win, all you have to do is come down… click the sign at the landing point while keeping Roawenwood in your picks.  The list has once again been wiped clean and everyone has a fresh month to try again.

I’m going to get my backside around and do the 60L weekend sale again too so you have that to look forward to if all this isn’t enough.  Other than that… I am not sure what else to say.  I stayed up wayyyyyyy too late trying to get things done for the hunt, and things will be shifting and changing throughout the month!!  Take care and have a great rest of your week!

Sometimes we take comfort in the little things within our role-play and in our lives.  Something as simple as a wayward breeze, or the feeling of a brush running through our hair.  This week I’m releasing a new grooming area.  Something with a bit more detail than a vanity combining various activities like painting your toenails, brushing your hair, primping, putting on lipstick… that sort of thing.  It also has sets to relax with a friend, and for them to brush your hair for you.

The lavish kennel I released awhile back is what got me to thinking about it.  Along the front of it there was an area that was left open.  I fiddled around with baskets and different small vanities thinking that the feel of the kennel was a place to ‘live’, to sort of be when not in service.  With that in mind it seemed like someone who had such rich apartments might also have a place to get ready to see their owner or to remain well groomed.  It would seem logically that one who is meant to be kept in such finery would also be very careful of how they look and are presented.  I had half thought of releasing it all together but then realized that it could also stand alone.  Either added to the kennel if one chose or something for a corner somewhere within their home perhaps.

The set comes with various accessories.  A little plant, pitcher, folded cloths, and perfume tray.  It has 10 animations for the individual, and then 4 sets for two.  The sets for two include gossiping, lounging, relaxing, and then the hair brushing.  The 10 singles anims vary from brushing your hair, to shaving, to journaling even.  I figured why not.  Combining and making it interesting, more depth and giving more opportunity for you.

I really like it.  Rich colors, nicely detailed, it rezzes props for different positions.  For example a full make-up set is rezzed when you are working with the anims for lipstick etc.  It can be tested at the main store.  I will probably place it with the grooming and bath things, and perhaps a box over near the lavish kennel display on Splinter’d.  It does go with it rather well as an added accessory.  The whole thing is copiable.  Inventory loss lately has been running rampant with customers so this is sort of a new thing… but one I think that will make it easier.  Now I just need to get some vendors set up so you can gift or give to other people too.

As a promotional introductory special I went and put the grooming furs into a limited buy vendor box, 15 copies of it will be sold at half price but only 15.  After that it locks down and you’re going to have to get it at full.  A very good deal, and never know when it will run out so if you are curious or want it… should check it out.

Last week I released a fun little camisk type number that borders on the too cute for me.  I called it Daisy Mae, it’s available in pink, yellow, and blue with another color… a silvery grey in the lucky chairs at the moment.  I may or may not sell the silvery one.  I haven’t decided but for now until I do it is in the lucky chair. It includes the camisk top, cute lil ruffled panties, short babydoll skirts, and sculptured socks to wear.  The socks have a part that are on the alpha layer that viewer two compatible viewers use, though I did include a shoe form for people who don’t use one.  But you should find something that uses alpha layers if you can.  It really is one of the good things that has been tossed out there.

Along with this as an added yay! thing I went and placed the second half of the Livia Gown in White & Silver on the marketplace.  (The other half is in the lucky chairs and won’t be sold)  However the fun part is… I discounted it (Only 145L), and it will NOT be for sale in world.  It is only available on the marketplace.

I’ve been keeping terribly busy, continuing to bring you what I can… and actually getting a lot accomplished.  A new hunt… the Darkness Inside started a lil bits back and I have a prize out for it.  There’s another starting the 16th that I am a part of too.  So keep your eyes peeled for that.

Hope you’ve had an awesome week…. till next time!

This past week I did a pretty good sized release over at the Splinter’d section of the store.  Ahem… you know the naughty adult side.  Mhmmm, some really awesome pieces and figured I’d highlight them quick before things got left behind.  I have lots of things I’m going to be having on the blog this week if I can keep up the good work so don’t miss out!

·!¦[·    FOR THE HIGH SLAVE OR LUXURIOUS HOUSE    ·]¦!·

A week or two ago I was approached and asked if I could work my magic to create something I hadn’t really thought about doing before.  A lavish, lush, opulently bedecked slave kennel.  A large cage for the large house or estate that has silks, satins, rich rugs and furs draped throughout.  Well… why not.  A challenge of sorts to see what I could come up with.  The result looks pretty good.  @ Splinter’d displayed in the courtyard at the base of the ramp.

Has to be seen really, the depth of coloring is really nice. Deco items are kept unlinked from the main structure so you can rezz or derezz what you wish to save on prims or add on.  Pillows etc are mod so you can add animations or whatever you want.  The main couches have animations, along with animations in the kennel furs for two.  Technically with the way it is set in display there is room for 4 to sit at once.

·!¦[·    BACK TO SCHOOL!    ·]¦!·

I know it is technically getting close to the end of the school year for most folks, but I’m in denial so I’m sending ya’ll back.  I like to think of myself as the purveyor of fantasy goods and what a fantasy I can conjure if I decide to.  Technically this is another requested item… I was approached because they just couldn’t find what they wanted and who am I to deny such a devious frame of mind?  This is definitely a naughty set… meant to be fun.  ONLY @ Splinter’d and on display.   Fair warning… these pieces are for a modern environment and not the usual rustic type things that I make up.  I like to be a versatile kinda gal.  There’s quite a few pieces to the set.  I’m only going to attach the pic for the full set but if you travel down you can see each piece up close and personal with details.

The teacher’s desk could be used in different areas, just don’t use the globe heh.  Each piece has unique animations or sets so that even if you get the whole set you really won’t have the same static stuff creating a well rounded role play environment.  The student desk has single desk type anims along with some naughty couples fun.  Each one carefully selected to give you the very best I could come up with .  Spanks, discipline, some bondage… aftercare, sweet cuddles, sex…. you want it and it’s probably in there somewhere.  If you’re looking for a school type set you HAVE to come look at this.

Each is copy/modify/no transfer so you can have lots of fun, or bigger classes!

Hello hello!  Today is Tuesday and I’m participating in the 25L rounds.  I haven’t peeked my head up on the blog lately which is… naughty… but you know how it goes.  For 25L there was a theme this week, chocolate!  Something we were selling had to have something to do with chocolate. 

So I made up a cute little bench type thing, lush cushions, and thick mattress with a very sweet animation set.  The girl sitting on her guys lap feeding him chocolate covered strawberries.  First she picks one up, nibbles on it and then feeds him before leaning in for a soft kiss.  Awwwwww.  Embedded animation the bench gives a tray and strawberry to wear when needed.  I have a few other things out.  I marked down one of the Ilsa kirtles (chocolate colored, ha go figure), a reading rug… a sub stump, have to see that one to know what it is I’m not tellin but basically a few other lil things to have some fun with.  I haven’t decided what I’m going to release tomorrow though I was thinking that something along the lines of chocolate might be in order since we’re kinda workin a theme here.

Last weeks release was a bit more…… twisted.  A Bond Circle, and Slaver’s Pillow set thing.  You know I really didn’t know what to call it so I guess we kept it simple.  Both of them have a 9 part sequential set of animations that can be used one after the other to create a scene or you can choose the one you want to really focus on.  The sets work well by themselves so you don’t have to be confined in your role play.  This is one of those sets where when I place the poses I tilt my head and just…. “ok, now that is a rather interesting notion isn’t it….”  hehehe  Delightfully deviant it moves through a scenario starting with a man grabbing at and subduing a woman, putting her to her knees… having her pleasure him with her mouth, take care of him and then ending with him holding her in a rather loving animation set conquered.  Quite the forced fantasy which I think has great potential if you want it.

The Bond Circle version consists of a ring of rocks with very nicely shaded dirt/mud in the center…. it can be used in northern Gorean villages, or in out of the way forestry type places… well really wherever outside, the set includes ferns, trees, a couple stumps and a log so you can decorate it up too without just having the circle.  The greenery is unlinked so you can move it, or pick it up even.  Kind of thought it could become something a little different that way.  The Slaver’s Circle is a roughneck kind of version with a distressed canvas type rug, shaded and wrinkled up with a couple rings of pillows.  Very simple but done nicely to give depth to a room, slave house, dungeon… I kept it pretty basic so it could be used wherever hopefully…

That was the big one.  I did also release an outfit… since the Bond Circle thing got me thinking Northern Gor I made up a kirtle type thing but it isn’t really all that conventional.  I like it… been wearing it myself, in two colors.  Black and Red.  I wasn’t liking any of the other colors I came up with so I stuck with those.

Not sure where I am at at the moment…. I have some upcoming plans for the store that are going to probably shake it up a bit…. but don’t worry, I haven’t given up on ya’ll yet.  Have a great Tuesday, get down here and pick up your discounted items…. and I’ll talk to you soon.

The past few weeks I’ve been up and down trying to keep up…. one thing about families, they always seem to share the things you DON’T want them to, like…. the flu….. or….. head colds.  It’s great fun isn’t it?  Well with the time of year, sniffles and sneezing seeming to be just about everywhere… so why not?

I’ve put together two different sick beds!  These would be fabulous in home or infirmary I would suppose.  Single sized beds with 10 different singles sick day animations from sleeping to sniffling & sneezing to eating in bed with a tray…. It also has besides all of those for your role play three different couples animation sets.  One backrub where the ill one is on their belly, friend or whomever sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing their back…. a spooning cuddle set, and another back rub animation lying next to each other.

Each bed also has low lag texture change script for the coverlet.  The Timberland has 17 different quilts, fur/leather, and stitched blankets to choose from.

The Carriage House bed has 11 different quilts or blankets to choose from.  The stitched leather just didn’t seem to fit this one.  Think I babbled enough, look at the pics for info & take a peek.

There’s been other things going on around the store… the Gorean Grid Hunt has wrapped up… the No Place Like Home Hunt is still going strong.  I’ve been putting in some other hunts that I’m going to be doing in the future… keep your eyes peeled for announcements and things.

Anndddddddddddddd guess what?!  I’m going to be in the 25L round tomorrow.  Weeeeeeeeee.

Going to wrap this up for now, take care and talk to you soon.
