Roawenwood: Design & Craft

·!¦[·    THE TWISTED HUNT KICKS OFF!    ·]¦!·

I am in a –fabulous- mood!  With eyes aglow, deviant grin twisting my visage having finished the final preparations that painstakingly were wrought I welcome you to the spring edition of the Twisted Hunt.  Ahhh sweet surcease of days toil we now embark upon a journey together through a twisted trek that meanders amongst merchant, creator and twisted folk alike… stops along the way, events, surprises and an end game that I hear is more difficult than ever.  I sincerely look forward to this hunt and know that a lot of others do as well.

Roawenwood has not only the main prize that you must find amongst the rubble at the landing zone but a Mini Hunt being held in the graveyard with _FIVE_ more prize sets to be found.  The prizes are ALL EXCLUSIVE to the hunt, and will not be set for sale within the store.   See the notecards and things in world for landmarks and info.  Want a sneak peek of some of the prizes that are being offered?  http://roawenwood.erasthai.net/twisted-teasers/

·!¦[·    TIMELESS ELEGANCE    ·]¦!·

Remember awhile back I released the rugged outdoor shower for rustic rp?  I promised at the time I was working on a more elegant version and I’ve decided to release that this week.  Timeless Elegance is apt for this item I believe having the awesome limited edition shower animations, and a sleek lovely design that I thought turned out real nice.

SPECIAL LIMITED BUY OFFER!!!

Once again I’ve placed out a limited buy vendor… this one set up to sell only 30 copies of the new shower at 50% off!

·!¦[·    GIFT CERTIFICATE SALE    ·]¦!·

Just because I felt like doing it I’ve decided to put ALL GIFT CERTIFICATES near the landing on a 50% off Discount for the next couple days.

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.

~*~

A few other things, I put out a new MM board but it keeps locking down quick… it has for today too.  A nice little choker that I threw together.  Can try your luck tomorrow maybe, still have the three outfits along with the shoes in the chairs… and the mini manias going so lots there too.

The Hunt for RP hunt also started…. I have a lil bag of goodies down here for that one too.  Neither item being available in the store as of yet.

That’s it for now…. and I’m going to try to catch a bit of time to relax.  Take care and I hope ya’ll have a great week.

Last week on the in world subscribe list I had a long long notecard…. Like usual really, I tend to babble on which I always try to keep a lid on but it happens anyhow.  First off I’m going to highlight the Letter of the Week discount.  This past weekend through the 24th of January the L.O.W. thing is being run a little bit differently… it’s a Merchant’s Choice round, we got to pick what we felt like putting out there rather than a letter being selected.  Sooooooo I went ahead and marked down two things.  An outfit, and a bed.  BIG discounts for them both.  The silks are one of my most popular sellers… The Flutterbee silks, softer colors, lots of jewels and tons of wear options.  All sorts of things included with them…. marked down from their normal price of 650L to 250L.

The bed is the Engraved Burlwood bed, it has 40 something couples sets from naughty to nice.  Marked down from 2650L to 795L.  Seriously…. this is a good time if you want it.

In other news…..

·!¦[·    COUNTRY PATCHWORK ROCKERS AND TEATIME TRAY     ·]¦!·

The idea of a cozy fireplace, front porch or warm parlor comes to mind with this piece.  I love rocking chairs and have wanted to make up one that suited me moreso than the ones I had hanging about the store.  Richly textured with a plush cushion and a blanket hanging along the back.  Comes in either a shabby white, or wood grain with a couple options for texture change in the cushion and blanket.

The rocker includes 7 different animations.  Not poses but animations that have a unique feel to them, four different sits… then also knitting, needlepoint, and a drinking tea animation.  Props for the ones needed are given to you as you change the pose so you don’t have to do anything except wear them from your inventory.  A knitting/sewing basket is also included for decoration.

The tea tray/table is a little thing I put together because it seemed to suit the one chair so well.  In the same shabby white type coloring and accessorized it gives a teacup or cake to eat on click.

·!¦[·    HARNESSED - NEW OUTFIT    ·]¦!·

Harnessed is a real simple thing, strap running from the neck straight down with a strap across the hips.  Included within the outfit is the ‘laced’ version and the plain version with the rivets along the edge.  A sculpted waist skirt/sash rounds it out with a set of pasties tossed in there to help cover you up.

Available in 4 colors: Black, Red, Blue Satin, and Pink Sorbet.

NEW ITEMS IN THE LUCKY CHAIRS:  Well, sort of.  We’re calling this round the Grab Bag round!  You know all those different items that I put together as limited edition items?  Well…. because I’m in the middle of having an actual new item or two for the chairs I’ve decided to resurrect some of the past limited items and throw em in there.  There’s 12 different things in the chairs right now.  None of them have ever been for sale in the store.

NEW MINI MANIA STUFF:   In the main store I replaced the mini mania stuff… one has a pair of flats, the other has a pair of the soft hide boots.  There’s a twist, I’m being included in the Lucky Tribe Kookie thing to give Kudos Kookies so they are also in there.

I new hunt started on Saturday… the “There’s No Place Like Home” Hunt… an invitation only hunt for home and garden type products.  Has some nice places participating too!

Splinter’d has gotten a face lift… all redone even though it still needs to be tweaked.  There be pirates over yonder on the other sim.  Actually I think it’s kind of a fun build… I’m going to have some fun stuff for there in the near future too.

Wow!  Two weeks in a row I got myself around to get into the round for 25L Tues.  Last week I had the Midice silks marked down significantly and this week just so that no one feels left out I have the Midice kirtle set marked down to 25L!  Those sexy bond of the north can share in the fun too.

For my other offering this week I put one of the pieces of the Forest Meadow set down to 25L, the sittin trees.  I like em.  They’re a cute little place to hang out.

Other than that I’m going to be pestering you soon because it’s the first of June, so that means we’re going to have a new contest winner soon!  I have the Shiri silks still in the lucky chair, the GGWH is still going till the 6th and the Myths hunt too.

Have a good one and I’ll write again soon.

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!

Just a few days before Easter and a friend of mine made an egg painting set last week I think…. we both have the same animation so he asks me if I was going to make one.  I said nahhh… I got the anim but wasn’t really planning on making one.  After expressing disappointment about how he’d of liked to seen what I’d come up with instead, bantering back and forth… having some fun with it I wander off mumbling to myself about Easter eggs, and egg coloring.  I wanted to come up with something different… Of course, I drew a blank but that doesn’t mean I wasn’t going to at least make something up.  Was challenged so to speak and I couldn’t just let that lie there now could I?

While mine isn’t really super spectacularly special… it is cute and it is something a little fun.  The way I figure it with only a few days left before the holiday I would release it and leave the price lower than I usually would for an item like this.  Soooo you get to benefit.  I’m releasing the Egg Painting stool for 50L.

So that is just about my only Easter offering this year.  I did put out a cute lil pink bunny for my groupies at the landing point though if you’re interested.

Other fun and releases today too!  An EASTER EGG HUNT!!  I have 10 Easter eggs hidden out and around the Five-Blades sim at the main location.  10 gifts from around my store, some furniture, some clothes.  I tried to not make it too girly.  They will be out through the weekend, then I have to remember where I got them scattered about!  *laughs*

Today saw the release of a few furniture pieces too.  All a part of the same line but technically 5 different pieces.  A set of sponge bath and wash basins.  Each one has 3 different washing animations in it.  One female sponge bath animation… one male sponge bath animation… and then a washing hands anim.

Three of them have their similarities though two are more ornate, while the third is more for rustic types.  The other two were done on stumps for camps and foresty type places.  The forest versions are lower prim, could be used outside of rustic type homes even instead of having indoor plumbing.  I think all have their place if chosen… could be used in infirmaries, for the green caste, in a home, lots of places.  Only limited by your imagination really.  Perhaps I’ll do a slave version… something more beat up.  You never know really…. but I do have a lot coming out soon within that genre anyways.

Some other fun and interesting facts hanging about the wood?  The Ostara hunt is ending today… tomorrow I’ll try to remember to pick up the prim.  The Nature’s hunt ends within the next few days but then the Virtues of Sin hunt starts tomorrow!  My sin was sloth and I think I have a pretty good item out there for it.  There’s a hint thing, and a feather prim ‘footsteps’ to point you in the right direction.

*Taps her fingers on the keyboard trying to think what else* Don’t forget the photo contest!  I’ve got some nice entries… would love to see what else people can come up with.

I guess that’s it for now, I’ll talk again soon.  Actually I will be VERY soon.  Since tomorrow is the first I will at the very least be picking the picks winner for this past month!  Yay!!

Till then!
