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.

~*~

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.

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.

The past few weeks I’ve been up and down trying to keep up…. one thing about families, they always seem to share the things you DON’T want them to, like…. the flu….. or….. head colds.  It’s great fun isn’t it?  Well with the time of year, sniffles and sneezing seeming to be just about everywhere… so why not?

I’ve put together two different sick beds!  These would be fabulous in home or infirmary I would suppose.  Single sized beds with 10 different singles sick day animations from sleeping to sniffling & sneezing to eating in bed with a tray…. It also has besides all of those for your role play three different couples animation sets.  One backrub where the ill one is on their belly, friend or whomever sitting on the edge of the bed rubbing their back…. a spooning cuddle set, and another back rub animation lying next to each other.

Each bed also has low lag texture change script for the coverlet.  The Timberland has 17 different quilts, fur/leather, and stitched blankets to choose from.

The Carriage House bed has 11 different quilts or blankets to choose from.  The stitched leather just didn’t seem to fit this one.  Think I babbled enough, look at the pics for info & take a peek.

There’s been other things going on around the store… the Gorean Grid Hunt has wrapped up… the No Place Like Home Hunt is still going strong.  I’ve been putting in some other hunts that I’m going to be doing in the future… keep your eyes peeled for announcements and things.

Anndddddddddddddd guess what?!  I’m going to be in the 25L round tomorrow.  Weeeeeeeeee.

Going to wrap this up for now, take care and talk to you soon.

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.

Recently a little bird snuck up on me and whispered in my ear…. she was quite convincing, one of those types that you just tilted your head listening while they talked… so, while I was pondering the thoughts that were running rampant around in my brain (like usual) the idea blossomed.

Last week we released the blacksmith and butcher, bakers ovens alongside… quite a bit of work, men heaving heavy hammers and working around the forge… sweat pouring down over their brow and at the end of the day making their way home ready to relax.

Not everyone has the luxury of a full bath, and not everyone even wants one but still likes to have that intimate service performed for them, and what could be more intimate than a nice lengthy sponge bath.  Hence the latest release down here at Roawenwood…

Roughly hewn wood, a bucket with cloth and towel beneath.  The bench has 3 couples sets included in it.  One bathing animation that runs over the chest, along the legs, up along the inner thighs….. mhmm, it’s a good one.  Then two more sets, one sitting at the feet… the other sitting at the feet but a little bit closer, nestled up against Masters knee.  This is a nice addition I think.  See pic for more info and to get an idea.
