Roawenwood: Design & Craft

Things have been crazy don’t you think.  Lots going on and all.  This weeks releases are some good ones I think, something a little different too.

·!¦[·       BRANDING LOG, & ACCESSORIES       ·]¦!·

Every so often I get an inquiry asking me if I ever have considered making branding equipment or if I have some.  In general the question has been answered, “yes I really want to but I just can’t seem to get it right.”  Well recently I fiddled with the idea again and have something for you.  I’m considering it an addition to the blacksmithing supplies in a way so I kept it within theme of that set.  I may do a more standard rack type or something but this could be used in various places I think.

It includes the log to bind the girl to that gives ropes to wear, a set of 6 different prim brands for decoration, the brazier, and the greenery that is pictured at the base.  Unlinked so you can pick -n- choose what you want to use where.

·!¦[·      MERMAID TALES - COLAB CREATION KITS!     ·]¦!·

This is a new project that I decided to become a part of.  Every two weeks a theme is given to a group of creators.  Some create full permission kits, and some create user content which all sort of work together in collaberation.  I am creating consumer kits.  This rounds theme was Mermaid Tales.  

Things sold during these rounds are always priced between 20L and 60L!

Soooo merfolk rejoice I have a little something for this round.  It just so happens too that someone awhile back did ask me if I would do some mermaid related items.  I have intentions of adding to the line and making up a few things in the near future to go with it.  So that should be a bit of fun hmm?

·!¦[·      HUNTS, GIFTS, AND EXTRA FUN     ·]¦!·

Gorfest is still going till the 17th and my tent is down there. And there’s the hunt that goes with it, I have three coins out at my place with gifts in them for it.

The Three Moons Hunt started this week.  A Gorean themed hunt  though the things I put in my gift can be used by folks who like to RP in other places too.  On the blog for the hunt it will probably have a picture of one of the items in there but because I don’t like giving away what’s in a hunt prize I also added a second that WON’T be listed on the blog.  So neener, need to come down to see what it is.
The Midsummer Nights Dream hunt is still going till the 28th, July 22nd I’m going to be a part of a hunt that looks like it might be a little different.  More of a puzzle to be solved.  I’m curious to see how it goes.  I’m supposed to have two things for that.

That’s about it for now… hope you had a good week and talk to you soon.

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!!! –

·!¦[·      ROAWENWOOD ACRES        ·]¦!·

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.

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.

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.

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!
