Samhain Event And New Store

 

Happy Samhain! & Greetings to you all.

Although it's a few weeks off before Samhain, it's never too early to start preparing for it, in my opinion anyway, hahaha. 

Halloween is one of, if not THE most, favourite holiday for me, so I've been truly blessed to have been invited and accepted to so many events for it. 

'Samhain' is the pagan origin of Halloween and the creators of the event wanted us all to go back to it, they explain the concept far better than I ever could so here is a link to their website:

https://sollemneinfernum.com/

And here is a link to a video Cassie Middles did about it:

https://youtu.be/Q1WTE8KhyV4

I wanted to create edibles, to offer to the spirits, and for all those witches, wizards, ghouls, ghosts, vampires, and everyone else you can think of out there to enjoy during the holiday festivities. There are three items that can be bought individually or as a fat pack.

The first is a Pumpkin Pie vendor, with male or female animations, the pie offers you a piece of pie and a spoon to wear, again for male or female.

The second is a pan of 'Brew', complete with floating fruit and a goblet. The pan offers a male or female goblet with animations.

And the third is a plate of 'Soul' cakes. These are to offer to spirits as they pass your home, but there's no harm if you have a few while you party ;-) This also offers a cake to eat with male and female animations.

There is a display of all three in the event area of the store if you can't get to the event.

All three are original mesh with materials enabled, and 1-3Li each.

The actual event space is incredible! so even if you don't want to shop it's worth going to marvel at it! it sent shivers down my spine when I first saw it!

Ok, speaking about the event area of the store, we've moved, again! hopefully for the last time in a while!

The old store was on mainland, and although, when I first set it up it was empty and relatively lag-free around me, people moved in, and sadly, I ended up with the same problem I had in the original store. Too much going on on the ground and it was lag central!

A friend asked a little while ago if I'd be interested in getting a homestead with her for our stores but at the time the new land was ok, so I said no as I'm lazy! and didn't want to move again, but when the buildings started to pile up around me, and the lag increased, I asked her if she was still interested, and she was, so we did it!!

The homestead we're on is called Shadowfell, and although it might look very similar to the old store and almost as if it's 'empty' again as I've stretched things out a bit, it's lag-free, looks beautiful and I have lots of room to grow. :-) 

So, if you get a chance, pop over for a look at the new Laminak/Godmod store, the LM is in my pics in-world, or just search Shadowfell on the world map. 

I think that's it for now. I'm building for one more 'Halloween' type event at the moment and I've got 2 other events in November to start making for so I'll be busy but I'll add all the details on here when they happen ;-).

Huge hugs to you all, stay safe out there.

Love

Rock Your Rack

 

Told you I'd been busy!

Laminak is also included in the 'Rock Your Rack' 'Gardens of Hope' event this month. 

Here's a link to the charity website: https://rockyourrack.wordpress.com/

There's a whole new sofa set that I've made for it, consisting of a 2 seat sofa and armchair, all original mesh with materials enabled. 

For the Limited Edition item (which will be retired after the event) I've created a delicate pink version of this new sofa set and matching floor lamps. All proceeds of these items go directly to the charity.

The Sofa Sets come in PG or Adult and have a texture changer in the throw cushions so you can customize the look to suit your room or taste. They're mod/copy, No transfer. 

I've also created 2 hunt items and accessories:

The hunt items cost 10L each and again all proceeds go to the charity.

For the exclusive item which will be available at Laminak's Main Store after the event, I've created an 'Autumn Tweed' set, perfect for country cottages, mansions as well as log cabins, for that cozy winter feel.

There will be more texture options to come but for now, I hope you like these and find time to visit the event. 

There are lots of fashion and music events planned, please see the event website, link added above ;-).

Phew, think I've managed to catch up! 

Take care all of you.

Lots of love and hugs.

Halloween!

 

Spooky Greetings covered in spiders and cobwebs to you all!!

Hi everyone, I hope you're all ok!

It's almost HALLOWEEN!!!!

One of my favorite festivals/holidays.

I'm in 4 themed events, more information to follow in a future blog post but the first two events, open or opening soon are 'Pumpkin Town' and 'Trick or Treat Lane'.

For Pumpkin Town I've created 'Martha's Table'. Sold as a fatpack or individual pieces (apart from the cauldron and witches chair which are only in the fatpack)

It comprises of a table covered with a lace cloth, although you can remove this, a chair that has been inspired by a RL 16th-century chair, a bubbling cauldron, a spellbook, and a pestle and mortar with little ingredient dishes. 

The witch's chair has custom spell casting animations - reading the spellbook, adding ingredients, smelling the brew, and stirring the pot, and it also features an original mesh wand that rezzes as an attachment. There's also a helper's chair that has sits in so you can have friends watch you create your potions.

For 'Trick or treat Lane' I've created a 'Martha's Fire Pit and Cauldron Set'.

This is a fatpack only and consists of a firepit with 1 stool, a fire pit with 3 stools, and a single stool to add around for friends.

It also includes custom animations in male and female - Stirring, Stoking the Fire, and Smelling the brew. 

The fire pit rezzes an original mesh staff, so using the avisitter experience on your land is recommended.

For both events there's a hunt gift, completely free, the Pumpkin Town freebie is at the main landing point, as the Trick or Treat Lane event isn't set up or open yet I'm not sure where the gift will be but there's a good chance it'll be at the Laminak booth. 

Ok, there's more to come in the next blog as there are 2 more Halloween events I'm involved in but haven't completed the builds for yet! aarrgghhh .. hahaha. Such a fun time ;-)

Ok, take care, sending you all hugs and a sprinkle of Halloween magic!

Renaissance Festival - Medieval Thrones & Knighting Ceremony

Greetings Everyone ;-)

Hope you're all ok.

As mentioned in my previous blog September was a busy one for me and it ended with the setup for the Renaissance Festival. 

Link to the event website: https://slrenaissancefestival.com/

There are 6 sims, filled with stores and things to do, jousting tournaments, parades, and music, it's really worth exploring even if you don't usually participate in roleplay of any kind. 

Anyway, I made Medieval Thrones and Accessories for it, as well as a Knighting Ceremony!

The thrones come in a mid/dark oak texture and there are 8 fabrics to choose from:

There are two Thrones in the pack, One Male and One Female. The Male Thrones have Male sits Couple Cuddles and the Adult versions have Male/Female Adult animations. The Female Thrones have Female Sits, Female/Female Couple cuddles and Female/Female Adult animations in the adult version. They also include a 'Toasting Ceremony' with custom animations and original mesh goblet.

To complement the thrones I've created a Carved Oak Throne Stand, Canopy and Matching Banners.

On to the Knighting Ceremony:

The ceremony comes with a circular oak platform, a knighting cushion in fabric textures to match the thrones, and a display sword.

There are custom animations for the actual knighting and a celebratory hug for the finish although you don't have to do this as part of the RP. 

The ceremony rezzes a sword attachment and it's recommended that you enable the 'avsitter experience' on your land to make this run smoothly.

As with the Gothic Thrones, I've made a whole range of candelabras and candle stand lighting to compliment the set.

You can see the whole display at Laminak Main Store and try the ceremony before you buy, or better still, as these are exclusive to the Renaissance Festival, try them there and experience the atmosphere of the faire ;-).

Ok, better leave this here. Sending hugs and lots of love to you all. 

Casey
