Roawenwood: Design & Craft

The Astrid kirtle is a little different than the skimpy silks that I released last week.  Since the weather is turning cooler it always gets me thinking about clothes that cover a wee bit more.

The kirtle is cut low in the front and back highlighting the length of the torso from different angles.  It’s only done in three colors.  I kept it simple but I like how they turned out.

There’s the classic white, then black and brown.  I like them quite a bit.  Included is the skirts, a modified version of the soft leather ankle boots, armbands, cuffs for the sleeves and the top.

I redid a couple chores this week too, changing their permissions along with their scripts to make them a lil better.  I’m going to be getting them around more I think real soon to get them all done as best as I can.

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.

I TOLD you I had another post to do… another set of things to tempt you with.  I am kind of weird about posts getting too long or jumping all over the place within the same one when I have new things. I was going to wait to release this… you know do the normal release dates, and all the way I usually do but I just couldn’t wait.  I’m weak, terrible… can’t help myself when I get excited.  It just bubbles over and poof… all over the place.  Just HAD to do it. Sooooooooooooo today I released the Ilsa Kirtle set.

It can be worn in different ways… The set includes: Fur trimmed top, banded top, skirts, waist belts, wrist bands, furred panties and a pair of boots.  Simple, can be worn everyday and great coloring, flowing skirts… The top has fur trim from the shoulders sweeping under the bust, it can be worn modestly with included banded top or bare breasted.  That was one thing that I wanted, you see awhile back I had a few different girls ask if I could make a kirtle or something that bared the breasts.  Some of them liked the option, and while I didn’t get right on it I kept the thought in the back of my mind.  The option is always fun but I added the modesty layer so more people could wear it than just a few.  I think that’s a good way to go about things.

There are 6 different colors; Bisque, Black, Crimson, Chocolate, Navy and Winterberry…  and right now… this very minute, the kirtle set is available at a 50% discount through or until the 13th.  I even have the listings on the Marketplace marked down 50% so you can give as a gift, or not have to travel to the sim.  It’s something a little extra I thought I would do this go round.

So enjoy!  Hope you like.

There has been A LOT released at the store but I haven’t been keeping up with the blog.  New clothing lines… a new knit kirtle set.  I know it’s late in the year for it but I do like them and figured it was best to release it rather than leave it sitting in my inventory.

Also a set of prim silks, called Taunt, they’re recolorable so you only have to buy the one set and then you can have them look however you want.  They’re draped with tons of silver jewelry too.

There’s been an herb garden, a new peeling potatoes/suls chore… and then today I released the Forest Meadow set.

I’ll add some pics real soon.
