Roawenwood: Design & Craft

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!

March 1st!  Another month has slipped by way too quickly for me and it’s time to pick a winner for last months contest.

I know you’re all just dying to know who it was right?

>>>> FEBRUARY PICKS CONTEST WINNER  <<<<

The winner receives 2000L and a 2000L store credit to be used on whatever strikes their fancy at Roawenwood.  If you’d like a chance to win all you have to do is come by the store, click on the board for the contest, place Roawenwood in your picks and you’re all set!  Each month the list is wiped clean and we start all over.  On the last day of the month I will draw at random a winner and send out another notice.   A new winner will be drawn around March 31st.

This past months winner was Ashalyn Dreamscape!!   Congrats!!

>>>> NEW LUCKY CHAIR ITEMS AND GRID HUNT NEWS <<<<

This month we’re goin a bit green with a special edition coloring of the Andromeda outfit.  It WILL NOT be placed out for sale so if you’re interested in having it then you’re going to have to come down and see if you get lucky.

I also threw a fun little item in there just to break up the monotony but you’ll have to come find out what that one is.

If you’re thrifty or just like grid hunts I  am involved in two at the moment.  Well technically one of them doesn’t start until the 3rd I think but I have my prim out, placed, and the gift inside already for walkthroughs and all… so you get a special heads up if you want to find it beforehand.  I know it’s cheating and all but well…… *shuffles her foot across the floor*  I won’t tell if you don’t.

The first hunt is the Wheel of the Year Hunt, it’s geared towards the Pagans in SL.  The second hunt is the Nature’s Hunt… this gift is a little less specific and I like both prizes quite a bit.  Signs/hints/what to look for are in the nets at my landing zone.

Have fun… Wednesday I’ll have some new releases and something for your Hump Day.

And the most ADORABLE bunnies you will see this holiday season.  They are just so cute.  I just had to share these lil guys with all of you, I know it is a little bit late to be putting out holiday themed items but well… I’ve never been known to be all that punctual so why start now yes?  There’s two… Fanny, and Fezziwig.  Fezziwig has a top hat skewed just so with holly on the brim, holding a small little tree that has a twinkly star on top.

Fanny well, she’s a little bit different… holding onto a brightly wrapped present for you, and a wreath set atop of her head.  They’re faces are animated… blinking slowly with a little wiggle to the nose.  I tell ya, they’re just so sweet it is sickening.  Almost too sweet for their own good.  I have them out in no copy/transfer version for gift giving, and copy/no transfer version for decorating.

Now onto what really will get your attention more than likely.  I put out THREE lucky presents yesterday with three different limited edition pieces for the holiday.  They’re the Holly Wench collection.  Brightly colored red and green… a dress, a set of silks, and an accessory set to wear with either one.

The dress includes a corset, top, undershorts and prim skirt.  The silks are barely there with holly decorating the nipples on the chest piece… and a set of prim skirts to match, rounding out the set is the accessories… bangle bracelets, and a choker to go with the whole thing.  Something a little fun for the holidays, bright and festive.  I hope ya’ll enjoy.

Take care and have a great week!  Tomorrow is Wed. so I’ll be coming up with something for Hump Day.
