Roawenwood: Design & Craft

·!¦[·      COOKIE JAR LINDEN HOMES CHALLENGE!!        ·]¦!·

This past month I was approached and asked if I wanted to see if I could design and furnish a set of furniture for valentines day AND stay within the prim limits that would be used in the Linden Homes.  A whole house, 117 prims.  Three designers per house, so that means my room…. 39 Prims.  *winces* Ouch.

Wow, really?  39 prims, me?  For a WHOLE room?  I’m such a prim whore too.  Do you have ANY idea how much strugglin there was with this one?   Details, eye candy, immersion… I just love it and no offense, a big boxy empty room… This was a tough one but we DID it!  My group decided to try to do a rather romantic French country inspired look using blacks & whites with reds and pinks as accents.  My contribution is a full set that can be bought in pieces or as a set.  Priced inexpensively in general because it is meant for Linden Homes and people on a limited budget.  The fireplace really needs to be seen in world, it looks SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much better than the pictures.

Granted AFTER completing the display I added an accent or two in the packages, but because a lot are 1 prim or two you can pick/choose which to use to stay within your prim limits.  The full display is HERE >>The Cookie Jar Linden Homes Display <<  at the Cookie Jar sim where you can see ALL of the displays that each team did along with the other members I worked with.  It was a lot of fun!

Furniture is on display also at my landing.

This time of year always has me thinking about curling up with a good book and fireplaces so that got me to making up a set that has an appeal for different types of spaces. Could be great for den, library, scribery or even just as a quiet spot in your house.  Three pieces that can be bought either individually or as a set.  I did this in some really nice tones, rich burgundy type fabric for the cushions, shaded and highlighted for depth then the pillows in warm browns and greens.  It really is a nice set that I think can appeal to just about anyone really.  The wood is slightly distressed but not too much so it looks inviting but not too shabby.  Really I love how it turned out, it looks like a nice place to curl up, while away the hours or hide from a hectic day.  It can be purchased piece by piece or as a set.  When purchased as a set you’ll also get a bonus rug and harvest decor that you can perch upon the front of the fireplace.  All pieces are copy/modify so it really is a great deal and a wonderful set.

The entire Madison Den Set is marked down 50%.  I have a special countdown vendor with it set up, thing is… see…. I have the whole set discounted already when you buy it instead of buying them individually by 25%, THEN I knocked THAT price down to about a 50% off so really you’re getting quite the deal.

COLAB KIT #34- CHRISTMAS AT THE COTTAGE

Yay!!  A new CoLab kit for everyone to have some fun with.  CoLab is a group of content creators who make either full permission or end user content that is kept at a low introductory price of no more than 60L for two weeks.  This round I have an offering of course.  I did actually have something else in mind but it didn’t quite work out.  Last round I had that awesome harp… I’m going to rework that and offer it up redone because I wanted it to be something of a limited offer.  I have lots coming up of course over the next weeks too so we’ll see.  If you want this rounds CoLab kit take a trip down.

-:- ROAWENWOOD ACRES GETS A FACELIFT -:-

Have you seen it?!  Roawenwood Acres is the next area that has gotten a face lift.  It’s still a wee bit under construction, displays aren’t quite finished but if you want to take a peek you can see the new build…. I’m going to be placing some items there in vendors like @ Splinter’d very soon so you get store credit and all there too.  The Christmas and Winter decor has begun to creep out and will be added to during the next few weeks.  I hope you all enjoy!

Other news?  Hunts, Hunts, and Events ALL over the place.  Next week I’m part of the 25L Black Tues. event, next weekend I’m doing a Black Friday sales event at my Cookie Jar spot, and I’ll probably be doing another round of 60L weekends.  This weekend I’ll be doing 60L weekend too so I’ll be sending out that notice on Saturday or so.  This Saturday the Traditional Christmas Hunt starts and there will be a giftie for everyone interested.  See, busy busy busy.  I’m SWAMPED!  *laughs*

Have a great rest of your week, and take care.

Sooooooooo much has been happening around my place.  Events, sales, and new releases.  The notecard for this week by itself was HUGE.  I’m shocked really that people read as much as they did.

So I’m going to try to go over some of the latest and greatest without being too drawn out but I’m not sure if I can *laughs*

·!¦[·       SWEET SIMPLICITY - NEW OUTFIT      ·]¦!·

I got into the creative spirit and decided to work on a very simple silk type outfit.  Semi-transparent crop top, and skirts float around the girl giving her a feminine appeal without going over the top.  None too ragged they can be worn whenever, accented with an included belly jewel… I just love showing off the belly.  Available in three colors:  Rose, Golden, and Blue along with a special Sage color in the lucky chairs.

·!¦[·       PHYSICIANS OUTPOST       ·]¦!·

For AGES folks have been asking me if I would ever consider doing some physician or healer type things.  I didn’t get around to it but then very recently I was asked again if I’d consider making up a small shed or shack thing to go along with the rest that has become something of a line without it meaning to become one.  I started with the bakers things and it just…. boom, kept going.  Now we have another one!  A Physicians Outpost!  Rather rugged, a small building outfitted and accessorized.

Created a whole new build with shack, desk, examination table, recovery cot… accessories, wash basin.  It all looks really great together and is set up at the moment near the landing.

·!¦[·       TO MARKET, TO MARKET  - PULL CARTS FOR YOUR RP        ·]¦!·

Ever want to role-play out going or coming from the market?  Have a garden but wanted to bring along your tools?  Well I decided to start a new line of pull carts so you can enhance your role-play.  Each one works like an AO with walking and standing animations so you just wear it from your inventory.  Each comes with filled and empty versions of the cart.

╚»╚» CHALLENGE!!! «╝«╝

I’m going to give those few who actually read this far down an opportunity.  I am wanting to create a few different types of this sort of thing, and I have plans for other variations however… I can’t __always__ come up with everything, I get tired… yanno?  Anyhow… Here’s the challenge:

Send me a notecard with your ideas for what might make up a good something to be pulling around in a cart (name it something like… Challenge; Pull Cart) and if I use the idea then you will get a set for  — FREE!!! –

I finally got the landscaping, outdoor and seasonal area around a little bit better.  At the very least, well enough that I’m willing to mention it.  It will go through final tweaks and things will be added but if you are curious you can take a quick look.  I’m going to be placing outdoor furniture and things over here along with plants as I make them.

I’ll put sale info in a new post.

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!
