Elderglen

Recently I went to Elderglen Infohub (127, 127, 29) to check out some of the new Linden houses that will be offered to Premium members. The houses are cute and interesting, but I was more excited when I found the site loaded with whimsical fun and freebies that everyone can have.

     The arrival spot drops you in front of the bridge that leads to the Weary Travelleŕs Inn. Inside the Inn you can watch tutorials while you have a bite to eat. There are a few musical instruments that you and your friends can play, too. In the side room there is more food as well as bread you can knead. You can even scrub the floor. It́s a fun intro into what scripts can do. But since I come to SL to skip such chores, I didńt do any of that.

     I did stock up on a few apples and oranges. They have bat juice and fish juice, too. And when you are finished dining, check out the outhouse on the side porch. I had never seen anything quite like it in SL. 

     Even more interesting shops are located along the stone path. The Curiosity Shop was my favorite. It is filled with fun freebies that will charm anyone who likes the whimsical side of SL. I picked up a magic wand, a spell book, a lucky crystal, fairy wings, and a crystal staff. No home would be complete without these essentials. But if whimsy isńt for you, there are candles, available in 7 colors, that would look great with any decor.

     As soon as I saw Fairy Jars, I called my friend Muse Nishi. It is always more fun to catch fairies with a friend. We each grabbed a jar and ran outside. The fairies hide in the flowers, and you have to get close to catch them. When you do, the fairy automatically gets trapped in your jar. Be sure you have your sound on–fairies are very funny when they get mad.

    The next shop was the Iron Forge, a metal working shop where you can try out the tools. There are free swords here, too. At the back of the shop is a smaller room where you can enjoy a piece of Elderglen Pie. Yummy.

     Further along the path is the Elder Cottage where you can sample Honey Nectar and pick up a few more free items. The last shop I visited was the sorcereŕs shop. It has a purple spinning door, wizard hats for the taking, and more crystal staffs. You will also find a wishing well near the center of the shops. Crystal flowers and magical mushrooms abound, too!

     Behind these buildings are the model homes. Some of the houses feature stone facades while others look like moss-covered cottages. A few are springing out of tree trunks or carved out of the hillside. At any moment you expect to encounter an elf and a wizard. Even if you dońt want this type of home, Elderglen is a fun site to visit.

Sim Builders Wanted for the 2010 Clothing Fair benefiting Relay for LIfe

The Clothing Fair is in planning and we have over 130 clothing designers this year all coming together to raise money for Relay for Life 2010. This project will consit of a 9 sim build with the theme "Fashion cities of the world".

We are looking for experienced builders who take the utmost pride in their work. Our goal, as the builders, is to create structures that are not only true to the architectural style of each city we have chosen , but will stand long as examples of our dedication and love for creating an art form others will enjoy. 

This requires not only fine building skills, but the ability to work well with texture creation and application as well. While there are countless off-the-shelf textures that come close, a majority of the buildings we create require custom made textures. As such, the experience of working with programs such as Paint Shop Pro or GIMP2 ( or any other program that allows for alpha channels) is very important for Clothing Fair  builders.

We are looking for builders  who are intrested in building full sim recreations of the following cities: New York, Melbourne, Rio de Janero, London, Paris, New Delhi, and Milan. There will be an over all theme and direction for the build but creativity and skill of our builders is also important.

 If you wish to be considered for this amazing event please send your notecard to Nevar Lobo or dana Vanmoer. All notecards should include, your name and example of your work ... including LM of builds. 

This is a volunteer position as money raised from this event goes to Relay for Life. Event will take place in March.

We look forward to hearing from you please send all applications before Nov 15th

Fairyteller, A place you can feel the magic of SL,

Did you ever want to live in a place that is so beautiful that your friends catch their breath everytime they land?
Maybe you are just looking for something a little different or to recapture part of your childhood?
Not long ago BNT estate manager, Duchess Shepherd, approached me with the idea of creating a fairytale sim and I loved the opportunity to let our imaginations run wild! The result is beautiful but it has to be seen to be appreciated, no pictures could ever do it justice.
Fairyteller has a calm magical atmosphere
with its purple mountains and rolling hills.
The 15 plots are all completely different offering a high degree of privacy and something for everyone - just to give you an idea you will find Beauty and the Beasts castle, Jack and the beanstalk, Camelot, Squirrel Nutkin, 1001 nights, Captain hooks hideout even the Garden of Eden to name just a few.

Visit the magic and if you are interested in living here contact Duchess Shepherd or Madelena BNT for more details.

Winter hits the grid!

Winterfaire! Coming December 19 - January 5

As the Northern Hemisphere slowly tilts toward short days and cold, snowy landscapes, our minds inevitably turn to thoughts of togetherness. Once again, it is time for Second Life’s annual celebration of all that is Winter.

Winterfaire is our chance to gather for long nights, blinky lights, hot drinks and gifts in mysterious boxes. We will revel in our usual traditions like the Snowman Building Contest, the wildly popular Lindens v.s. Residents Snowball Fight, and maybe most important, tour your fabulous Winter-themed builds, all around the grid.

Winterfaire will be centered around the ancient Linden mainland regions of Wengen, Voss, Zermatt and Moritz.

This year we will also be using the Showcase in the Second Life viewer and web site to direct people to privately owned lands hosting must-see winter wonderlands.

What are the wintertime traditions in your part of the world? If you are planning a winter extravaganza in your region that demonstrates your traditions, we’d like to connect you to the Winterfaire network of locations.

Just keep these guidelines in mind when you plan and execute your winter builds: We will be looking for builds that are beautiful, well made, available throughout the event, and that present your regional sights, sounds and traditions of winter. We will bypass builds that are commercial in nature, so if you’re basically decorating your store for the season, that’s great, but it’s unlikely to be in the Winterfaire tour. Think of your build as a gift, freely given, to your fellow Residents, not as an opportunity to sell something.

As submissions come in, we will send out Lindens with snowshoes to check them out and bring back their recommendations for the Showcase.

While space in Showcase is limited, we will try to fit in as many submissions as we can, rotating them in and out during the event, giving many builds a chance to be seen.

An application for getting your build into the celebration will be forthcoming next week– til then, I’d encourage you to talk it over in the forum thread, what would be most fun? What are you planning? Are you thinking about creating a special build? hosting a holiday concert, a skating party, or something else? — Go Make It Snow!

Winterfaire plans? Talk it over in the forum thread. Dusty Linden will be there with more info and to answer questions next week.

We too will be featuring Winter themed wonderlands in our explore section and have no issues with them being commercial in nature so if you have come across a fantastic winter wonderland feel free to leave us an SLurl in the comments and we will try to get to see them all.
