SLURL to Thunnus Bay


Contraption's items are still not out so I still dont have funny running fish to show you. But I have OTHER THINGS!




I promise I'm trying to save him not drown my husband. It is a fun dynamic pose by Poseidon called Sirens & Sailors 1 that I just HAD to use! I put Adar into Hotdog's Lighthouse keeper's outfit. It's a cozy looking sweater just perfect for feeling a little Irish.

I'm wearing the new skin for the Aii mertail by AURO called Te Moana - Ria. I love the delicate coloring on it. The hair is by Raven Bell and is their Elliot Hair shimmer, Its got sparkles in it! The bubbles are from Cole's Corner and are Mer bubbles. And the swirlies are Areth's Water Whispies.




Out of the water and into this lovely embroidered gown by The Muses called Fleur Gown. The threading on it just glistens at times.




Moving out of the light house and onto the shore. This near perfectly period gown is by Old Treasures called Capulet. Yes as in Romeo and Juliet




Back under water and into the Veshna Dress by Portal. I really love the gold accents and the pattering on the gown.




I ALMOST FORGOT TO SHOW OFF THESE CUTIES! KHSKFSADSA

The bee is a companion you can get from LVL9 called Bumblekin. And the lil black guy is both an AVATAR, which is what I have one, and a companion AND can sit on your head! He's Aii & Ego's Deepsea Moth cat! and I love them both.




And last I bring you this Animesh grumpy fish guard by .Tardfish called Chubby Fish Guard . I want to poke the pudgey belly SO BAD

A world concealed beneath waves and time lures explorers, scientists, and others too inquisitive to know better to a quiet fishing hamlet harbouring arcane secrets. Locals bristle at a steam-powered empire’s meddling in affairs beyond their ken, while the intrepid explorers seek knowledge unencumbered by those they consider myopic. Learn the ancient mysteries or protect the enigmatic creatures beneath the ripples of Thunnus Bay.

Thunnus Bay is Contraptions absolutely stunning underwater master piece! It's made to be seen proper in a PBR enabled viewer but still looks great with out it. I did however noticed some flaws in a full sim of it with things not rendering fully. But thats not Walton's fault thats SL's rendering system. OORR I need a more powerful computer. So if you still have bits not rendering in properly don't stress it! The sim is amazing and a technical wonder no matter what!

The buildings all have this old, style to it that reminds me a bit of the style of Thailand architecture but with a fisshy flair. Lots of fish, lots of underwater plants. Turtles, and even some mines so watch out for those! But the real highlight are when you spot a citizen of this realm. The fish people are the best part and they make me smile when I see them! I want one!

Above water there is a small town and a STUNNING lighthouse. Reminds me of Steelhead's light house. It's base extends into the water and turns into one of the central buildings down there. Its truly spectacular and a feat if SL building!

Fantasy Faire 2024 Sim - Hope's wish

HOPE’S WISH |SLURL

Not so long ago at a wonderous time in storybook history, Hope – a wood fairy – decided to go on an adventure. She walked through rolling hills and sun-dappled meadows.

Finally, she came across a village. Lining the colorful cobbled streets were silly crooked cottages that swayed this way and that. Amazed at how they could be built in such a nonsense way, Hope named the town, the Village of Strength.

Hope continued her adventure and found herself in a very old forest. Looming before her was a large, dark, and ominous cave. She gathered her courage and stepped inside. *(She was met by an enormous troll! But this was no ordinary troll. For he was there to guide travelers. He smiled a toothy smile and beckoned Hope to follow him. When she was safely on the other side of the cave, the troll bowed a noble bow and disappeared back into the forest.) Hope decided to name this place, the Cavern of Courage.

Continuing on with her adventure, she found herself upon a beautiful bluff overlooking the forest, the cavern, and the village. Amazed by the beauty she saw there; she made a home for herself amongst the trees. And being a wood fairy, she bestowed upon each place a blessing.

To the village her blessing was for all that walked its cobbled streets to have strength.

To the cavern, her blessing was for all that roamed its darkness to have courage.

For the beautiful bluff, she blessed all who ventured there to be filled with hope.

Many travelers ventured through these lands and each was filled with wonder. And they received strength, courage, and most of all – hope.

And now that everyone is in tears from that. Welcome to Hope's wish. A sim designed after Bee's last ideas for a sim. She will be missed but this is a beautiful way to honor her.

Halfway through taking photos of Hope's Wish I realized they used PBR items and switched to a PBR enabled viewer * Firestorm release your update already!* and you can so very tell the difference in quality of the photos.

ANWYAY you enter this sim into a picturesque town full of pastel buildings, sparkling trees and flowers. A town I'd really just love to live in! Its at the bottom of a mountain that has Greenman faces carved into it to release a waterfall. You travel into a cave full of crystals and rooms carved right from the mountain. The emerge out again onto the cliffs with a spectacular view of the willow gardens below.

Its all quite breath taking. And there are small spots that tell you the above story as well. And a memorial to Bee at the top of the mountain. And theres a secret spot to even DEEPER inside the caves to find that is worth the surprise!

And not everything I have on.
SLURL to Ondheim


So much to buy here in Ondheim. The medieval furniture makers flocked over so many stores with market stalls or a good tavern table. You'll find Cerridwen's Cauldron here. He didn't do a full sim this year but you can see some of his work in the form of the selenite crystals about.

Some great clothing designers are here and you can get BITS OF THE SIM. Yiiiiiissss

One of the pose creators, Aelithe, made a massive amount of poses for a tavern brawl. Its just amazing. I wont be using it in this post as I am gathering friends to help me use as many of the poses as possible. When that shoot happens I'll post it on my Flickr. Probably use the Plankbarrow Harbor sim for the photo itself. Its, piratey, as you'll see on May 2nd when I blog it!

OH AND BEFORE I FORGET

Faire is now open TWO DAYS LONGER we no longer close on Sunday May 5th but Tuesday May 7th!




I saw this pose in the blogger room and right away started planning on this photo! Got Adar and Eldorzi to help with it. The pose is called Guardians#1 and is by UZME. It comes with the swords but Zi used his own sword in the pose and that changed it a SMIDGE but not a lot.

For this shot I am wearing Belle Epoque's Ondheim outfit she made for her faire release, It really fit the ton of the pose perfectly. Adar is wearing parts of the Adrik set by Rakshasa, the only thing he isn t wearing is the pants and I think you can get shoes? It would be really good for a simple viking outfit. And I forgot to ask Zi what he's wearing but it looks like Contraption, whose store is in Thunnus Bay. the sparklies on my hands and around me are ...hands by Titans - Swirling Magic Effect over in Wistlyn Shallows, about my body Quills & Curiosities - Cosmic Aura Set in the Duskfall Court




Next up is a just beautiful gown by EXiA called Daniela. I love the way the colors flow into each other in this shade but the other colors are just as lovely! The hair flowers match but are sold separately. The delicate necklace I have on is by Ashbourne & Burleigh and is called Willow *close up here*

Oh and this pose? It's the one I put in the wrong folder. Its by Audition and is called Beacons of Hope. Of course its over on Whispering Pages!




For Adar's first solo photo hes in Abraham by Viki. A rather sexy open shirt pirate coat. You get the full outfit even the boots! The pose he is using is by Uzme and is from their Sorcerer Set#1 and it comes with props for the poses!




For the prom photo we are both in outfits by Viki, he's in Gerardo, which is very clearly based on one of the outfits in the Witcher. SO ladies get your man this outfit! I'm wearing Nereide, which is a lovely delicate "shepherdess" style outfit. the bodice has details of flowers moons and stars you can just make out in the pose!

Which the pose is by Aelithe from their Family portrait series. One of the Couples poses.




And lastly its a full avatar for COMPLETELY FREE. And its of the lil blue spirit people you see about the sim. You can find it in a vendor in a few places in the sim. Its by the sim builders.




Now for decor!

Cerridwen's Cauldron relay offerings are several valentines editions of statues they have offered in the past. Showing here are their Kitsune and Guardian statues. I had to have them in the pink colors!

The blue crystals of selenite you see about the sim are at another event.




These barrels full of gemstones are by LORE . They just really triggered my HEY LOOK A SHINY THING .




And I end with a bit of the sim you can buy. By Harshmage this is the Ondheim Square Piece. Just with out the blue sparkly thing in the middle. Which I checking just now you CAN buy on its own. Or put what you want in the center!

Öndheim is known as the Realm of the Spirits. It is a place where departed souls take rest during their journey from the mortal realm to the what lays ahead. Heavily inspired by Nordic and Viking landscaping/architecture, featuring ancient stone structures in a cold mountain region in front of the sea, that fights in opposition with the fire element. The land is embraced in a hazy and magical atmosphere, with teal, light green and aquamarine colours.

We step from a realm that is all about the magic of books and into a Nordic realm. Welcome to Ondheim! A town that seems to be carved out the very mountain it lays at the foot of. Giant shards of Selenite seem to glow to guide you about. While the ghostly figures of those on their way to the afterlife watch as you journey though this realm. There are even a few secret places to search out and find!

Shopping time! This sim has a wide range of creators including some pose makers! One of which, I had put the items in the wrong sims folder in my inventory so it will show up later on and I will make sure to not you get it at Whispering pages!

The sim's designer store is not ready yet as the amazing people being this book sim needed a bit of a health break. But I do hope bits of the sim will be around to buy when they are up to setting the store up!




The first outfit I have for you all is a matched set by Rainy Fey Creations, both the gown and the tux are called Vythellin . I love the ruffles on the gown and it matches the vest on the tux.




The next set is available for a WIDE range of avatars and bodies, including Dinkies and the Jomo avatars. It is by John Dee's Emporium and is called the Astrology set. Its kinda like work out wear so was fun to wear.




This lovely gown is called Lyra and is by Tayren's Fantasy Fashions . it comes in a range of colors and ombres and comes with the hair roses and the choker! Its quite grand.




Now to move onto the first of two outfits by Cygnet's Dreams, and both I paired a pose from Global Nomads. In this one is a fun fairy dress simply named for the leaves it is patterned after, the Ginko dress. The pose is called Finding Dragon and comes with the lil draggy and book! They have a whole line of dragon and book poses in fact!




This is the other outfit by the above creators, the dress is called Petal dress. The Mushroom hat is also by Cygnet's Dreams! This pose is called The Dragon Supremacy pose. I also am wearing a chest tattoo from Arkhive called Mara. Its a very lovely and intricate tattoo that goes from neck to navel and you can get it in a lot of colors.




Moving onto decor now, this lil cutie is by Collect and is called Here's my Heart. For the obvious reasons I rather adore him.




This last item is one part of a set by Mindgarden Creations that recreate the Asgardian Bifrost bridge and building from the movies. This set here is the bridge itself and an archway. The bridge is SO Much more impressive in world as its animated and sparkly! Also Huge.

A mystical forest where scribblers and authors have found refuge since time immemorial. There are huts with pillars and windows made of books, where traders sell their wares creating an endless marketplace for the preservation, re-creation and exchange of words and writings – hidden in the library of memories and countless booksellers and readers. A place where every visitor is welcome to actively write his or her own life story, to hold on to it or to let it go and start anew. At the tree of writings and many small reading corners, along the paths… Are you ready to write your own story?

This is the sim that features the Roleplay classes. Info and schedule will be found at this link.

Whispering pages is a book lovers dream build. A forest full of buildings of books, Book plants and a massive library. And so many critters having reading parties. Its just a delight.

The central highlight of the build is the Tree of Writings which is a massive tree with leaves of book pages. Its just stunning. I am hoping it will be for general sale but I bet its gonna be a live auction item! it'd be worth it!

A field of poppies covers the middle of the sim. as well as tributes to people AND pets that have been lost. I believe you can submit your own loved ones to be added to the displays but I am not 100% sure about it, or if its true how to do that.

The EEP is also gorgeous and I will keep looking to see if I can snag it!
