Roawenwood: Design & Craft

This week I tossed around a few ideas for what I was going to release or do for my Wednesday thing.  I try to do things that I think will be of interest at the time.  For a better part of the day I had mulled over exactly what I could do for Mother’s day coming up on Sunday.  And then it hit me…. so simple really.

Breakfast in bed!  What woman doesn’t warm or melt when the one she cares for takes the time to think of her… bringing her a warm toasty breakfast, awakening her to the sweet company of those she cares about and giving her a few moments of soft fuzziness. So I set to it… working away up in my workshop and came up with a lovely piece that I am happy to release.  A tray with an embedded couples animation set.  The female sits back propped against pillows, headboard, what have you… her legs stretched out in front of her, tray over her lap while her S.O. sits alongside relaxed, arm over her legs talking to her.  What a fine fine thing don’t you think?  The plate has a yummy breakfast all prepared… eggs, bacon and toast with a warm muffin along the side.  Made mostly of sculpted prims it looks lovely… good enough to eat!  Touch the tray to receive a fork to wear… female sits first, and then the male.  No poseballs, and the sits are adjustable through menu.

My other release this week is a set of slave beds.  I have a couple over in the slave gear section but they’re older, use a texture change script that can end up being messed up if you reset it wrong so I finally redid them to something that I prefer a little bit more.  One of them even suspiciously looks like the furred couch/bed that I released awhile back.  Hmmm…. go figure.  There’s four of them, a couple basket types… a couple with the darker outside.  Most have texture change, either the linens can be changed or the basket or both.  One of the great things about it is firstly, it is a lower prim item.  7 prims for one of them and 6 for the others… then obviously the texture change.  Tons of options with those so you can decorate or personalize them a little bit more… then… I made them copiable!  TA DA!  I know, not a big deal right?  Well this is one of those items where if you have multiple slaves then you can let them have their own beds, or use them in a kennel… or stable… or wherever, it makes things so much easier for you the end user I think.  Of course the permissions limit so you can’t transfer but well… can’t have everything.  They’re very reasonably priced for a copiable item like this so come down and see.  Each bed comes with 7 different animations or poses from curled sleep to pleading.

That is about it for now… soooooo much coming up and out in the near future.  I feel a sim rebuild comin on and some brand new naughty goodness to taunt….. err… tempt you with.

Take care!

Awhile back I made a slave shower.  It was kind of grungy, a pipe sticking up out of a platform… ugly really, perfect for dungeon or whatever but it was a little more modern looking than a lot of ya’ll liked.  A lot of people that I have come by my place like a more rustic look to things than a pipe with a shower head.

I had been intending for a very long time to create a pitcher pump styled set, just never quite got around to it…. that is, until now.  Made mostly of sculptured prims there is two new version types for your slave to keep themselves clean using the pitcher pump.  One has a basin at its base, tilted up with a small pool of water and a kneeling washing animation.  You can turn on water to pour from the pump with a click.  The other is like the shower, water droplets turn on when you sit with three different ways to wash yourself using two animations.

The third one doesn’t use the pitcher pump, it is a simple bucket with water at its base.  This one uses the kneeling washing animation… a low prim alternative that can be placed anywhere.  Inside or outside depending on what you are looking to have.

I’m thinking that between all of my recent releases with sponge baths, grooming and everything else that just about anyone can find something that will appease that need for their role play scene.  At least I’d like to think so.

I hope ya’ll have had a great weekend!

Submissions for the photo contest have been closed and now the hard part for me.  I have to sift through all of the lovely entries trying to decide which ones should win the prizes.  You guys haven’t made it easy on me…. I’ve even enlisted some top secret outside help to try to help me make some sort of decision here, and I’m not dissuaded!  I will have your winners for you this next week on the 21st like I promised.

Hump day releases this week were delicious… the Alamea camisk and then a twist on the grooming/make up table that I had created awhile back.  I had intended to make up a fancier version of the vanity for the Lady of the house or for a more lavish kennel or slave area but never really set aside the time to do it.  Well with the release of the sponge bath stuff I revisited this and got a couple of them done in the same gorgeous wood tones that they are in.  Two different color woods, and decorated to be pleasing to the eye as well as functional enough to save on prims if you need to or create a well thought out scene.

Onto the camisk.  Ohhh this little pretty isn’t for the faint of heart.  Sweeping downwards exposing one breast then sweeping across the hips exposing well…… quite a bit more, *coughs* this is a rather risque garment to wear.  Swirls and decoration across the belly accent the richly toned fabric.  It is available in 7 different colors for sale, and one deep dark plum color that will only be in the lucky chair either until the end of the month or until I take it out.  It will not be available for sale so this limited special color can keep you set apart just a little bit.

The lucky chair version does have a drawback though… it doesn’t come with the jewelry accessories that the for sale versions do.  The sale versions of the camisk also include beaded bracelets for both wrists, and a set of anklets to wear.

I have three different hunts going on right now… wonderful prizes for you to get if you’re so inclined to jump down.  We’re at the half way point in the month so if you haven’t joined in the picks contest for April you should… sign up at the landing point.

I’m going to leave you for now but never fear I’ll be back soon.  Have 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!

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!
