Roawenwood: Design & Craft

You know sometimes when I make something I put myself into the item a bit and can imagine all sorts of possibilities.  This is one of those.  A new bed that I’ve been holding onto for awhile in my inventory that is just pure sweet luxury.  If you like furs and deep snuggly spots this is just perfect.  A more rustic type twist in a way it is fashioned after the idea of the Gorean couch/bed.

The bed itself is set within a stone base, etched and chiseled out to be a little bit fancier than a slab of rock then draped ALL over it are different kinds of furs.

Soft luxurious and thick the thing looks like it is just meant to be sunk down into, wrapping yourself up and then spending hours within its warmth.  I personally think that it can be used for hunstman, Gorean, fantasy or medieval type places no problem whatsoever or if you are looking for something a little different than your standard bed.  It is made of sculptured prims so it doesn’t have the harsh edges that you see on a lot of beds of this nature adding to that comfortable feeling.

It has 43 couples sets using MLP v2, 5 different menus to help you know just what you want to use.  Cuddles, kisses, foreplay, relaxing, and play.  There are 3 singles lays in the pillows and it is only 11 prims (+2 for the MLP).  A super way to save prims but not give up on luxury or utility.

Enjoy!

BURLWOOD ENGRAVED BED SET

Recently a customer approached decorating their home and loved some of the furniture that I had released with the slipper tubs.  Their inquiry after an exhaustive search of my store was… “is there a bed that matches this furniture?  I’d love to have one.”    **smacks self in the forehead** Now why didn’t I think of that?

So voila!  After working away up in my workshop a brand new release that I think accents the furniture very well tying it all together and just looks sooo inviting.  There’s a reading bench to match with embedded anims as well as a nightstand to round it out.

The bed weighs in at 18 prims, has a MLP v2 Menu with 43 different couples sets (good ones too!  Not the ones generally passed out and around… I purchased all of these myself from various animators), and 3 singles lays embedded into the pillows.  Available in two fabric shades…. Warm and Cool

You know when they talk about hump day and it is like… one of those days that just seem to drag on and on and ON….. well today is one of those days.  I tried getting something together earlier but appointments kept me from even logging in till about a half hour ago!  *laughs*
Soooo groupies, today’s hump day doesn’t have much fanfare, but I do have something that I’ll run through until the weekend.  From now until Friday evening/Saturday morning.

Remember last weeks special MM board prize?  The purple lovers cushions?  Well this week I’m releasing the WHOLE set.

>> Velvet Lovers Cushions & Special Discount <<

7 Different color velvet sets and one in the palatial patterns, so a total of 8 different pillow sets.  With the release I am offering a group discount package for 50% off for the next couple of days.
The group packages are all set up on the netting behind the palette they sit on, the group is open enrollment… I’m really not making it that hard to get the discount.

Yesterday I participated in the 25L thing with the rest of the merchants on the list.  It went really well.  I’m surprised sometimes how many people end up filtering in and taking a look around.  It’s a lot of fun and I hope everyone enjoyed the things that I put out.

I have a few ideas that I want to iron out.  One having to do with the Wed. stuff that I do… it could be interesting I think.  I’m working on a few new things, of course.  A set of seasonal silks that I really need to get out, they’re just about done.  I just need to finalize some details, take the pics and get em up.  So those will be on here really soon.

Talk to you soon and Happy Hump Day!

Ohhh ya, frightful.  It is COLD where I live.  My poor dog goes outside, starts shivering and tries desperately to run back into the house.  It’s almost comical in a way but she really is not a cold weather kinda gal.  hehe

In the spirit of the season of wintry goodness I had a bit of fun creating a wee little snowman.  He’s this adorable lil guy with his hat and pipe leaning against him on the ground.  The reason I adore this is because its….. yeppp…. animated!  I get to sit down next to him, pick up a bit of snow and bring it back up patting him down.  I love building snowmen and I just couldn’t resist!  So I’m passing along the fun to you!  I also did a snow angel!  Woot.  The snow angel is copiable so you can make as many as you want, only 2 prims too.  They’re at my main store and the Hunters Cove store.

Late last night before I nodded off to bed I also released a brocade living room set.  It’s darker, black shaded rich brocade fabrics with black wood… the pillows are done in a similiar brocade in shades of purple and violet.  It really looks good I think.  There are multiple pieces of course.  A couch, love-seat, ottoman, two chairs, fireside rug, side tables, oil lamps and a vase with a plant.  The couch has sits in the pillows so you can lounge or hang around.  The love-seat has two cuddles and one reading pose.  All the poses are embedded into the pillows.  I like to keep poseballs to a minimum because they really are distracting and clutter up things.  Also add unnecessary prims to the build.  The chairs are the same build but one has 10 different singles sits embedded into the cushion that can be adjusted through menu.  Some male, some female… makes it a really nice chair for anyone’s home.

The other chair is a Lovers chair.  This bad boy has A LOT of stuff in it.  It could almost be described as a cross between a lovers chair and a bdsm throne type thing but all wrapped up in rich brocade fabric.  No one EVER said that kink had to be ugly or just leather.  This chair has 33 different couples sets plus 8 singles sits using MLP v2.  So technically you can lounge around or kick back without a partner if you want too.  It has 3 couples menus; Pleasure, Submission, and Enticement.  Pleasure is the cuddles, foreplay, and sexual stuff… Submission has 4 different spanks, flogging, 4 Master/slave type sits, and one Mistress sit.  Enticement is a rather naughty menu all by itself.  Three different dance/lap dance type animations, straddling the leg of the one sitting there or in between their feet.  The rest of the animations are the girl being quite exposed at the feet of the one watching.

The fireside rug is a black furred rug with brocade pillows matching the rest of the living room set.  It can be used by itself of course or as part of it.  It has 43 couples sets.  The sets in the rug and in the chair are all different, you get two very different pieces of furniture.  If you purchase both that comes out to something like 76 different ways to spend time with someone else… very nicely done if I do say so myself.

Anyhow… the fireside rug includes menus for Relaxing, Cuddles, Kisses, Foreplay, and Play.  The relaxing menu has massages, back rubs and spending time.  The cuddles menu of course is some very sweet and loving sets… and the rest of the menus are pretty self explanatory really.  Each one has a nice choice for you to share time in your Second Life with someone special whether you’re looking for something intimate or something naughty.

It’s quite the large set of furniture that I think would accent and be a nice addition to many different styles, see it in world to test and view as it should be.

This past week I have had some really marvelous updates around the store.  A brand new set of bath tubs, a slipper tub with some really awesome texturing giving it a depth and look that I really adore.  It comes in four different metal tones…. bronze, black, pewter, or gold.  The display model is the bronzed version, which is I must say my favorite though I do like the other ones quite a bit too.  The tub has been given an MLP menu with FIVE different couples bathing animation sets.  That’s quite a bit… different scrubbing, caressing, and snuggly type bathing sets.  Then on top of that there is two different cuddles, and three single animations for the solo bather.  Quite a bit to choose from while you soak away your troubles.

Released with the tub I put together a couple pieces of furniture to accent them.  A large shelf unit, some greenery, a bureau accessorized with candles, folded towels and a few other pieces along with a plain bureau without the accessories.  The cabinets and things have working drawers/doors.  They’re custom textured and made of sculpted prims.

The Rustic Tub has been updated with the new animations and MLP menu as well.

I also placed out an Artists Set.  The set comes with an easel that has 21 different paintings to choose from for the canvas.  An embedded painting animation is included in the easel along with props so you can paint away.  The thing is sold as a set with a small table, painting accessories, and blank canvas.  Everything you need to set up a small studio.

Going a lil vulo crazy there is a large role play set over in the work area.  A whole lot of lil birds, roosts, three different egg gathering chores, fencing and accessories for anyone who wants to start a vulo farm or have a bit of fun with their role play.  It is a different twist on the normal chicken/vulo sets.  I think it turned out to be a fun little thing…. even have a vulo nested inside an overturned bucket.  *chuckles*

There is so much going on at Roawenwood… more and more things coming soon, and the winter set up is coming along very nicely.  If you’ve been by you’ll see random prims flying by and a lot of white snowy stuff starting to show up on rooftops and along the ground.

I’m half hating that the snow is coming…. it’s going to get a wee bit cold real soon! I love the ice skating though… at least winter doesn’t last as long at my place as it does in real life!!  LOL  enjoy and don’t forget Wed. isn’t that far away, keep your eyes peeled for my hump day fun stuff.
