Elegance at Halloween -- Vampire Castle

vampire castle at night

This vampire castle has been a part of my imagination for almost two years now. It's finally here for your dark vampire hearts for the 2015 Halloween season! This Gothic castle looks foreboding on the outside, but the interior boasts of luscious fabrics, Gothic red marble flooring, marble grand staircase, the first floor has crown molding set in the ceiling in Gothic purple. It has matching gold and purple walls, and Gothic crushed velvet drapes. The drapes must be opened with a click and they do not automatically close, they must be clicked again to close. This is the same for the second-floor curtains too. The flooring is Gothic red marble and it's on the first and second floors. There is a matching Gothic chandelier on the first and second floors featuring Gothic purple candles.

interior ceiling views first floor

On the second floor, the wallpaper is the same color on the second floor, but without the gold trim. The color scheme on this floor is Gothic blue. As soon as you walk up the grand staircase, you see the beautiful marble fireplace. It's so big that you can fall (walk) into the fire and still be able to stand up straight. The fireplace has four blood-red marble columns set against white marble. The fire blazes within the fire grate. Above the fireplace is a piece of artwork this is in the shape of an oval and features skeleton cameo, which randomly switches colors. The big feature on this floor is the grand artwork that can be viewed after climbing up the grand staircase as it's right above that on the second floor. This huge piece of artwork features over 50 works of art featuring, Gothic vampire castles, haunted woods, cemeteries, and one sunrise. The artwork cycles on a random basis.The ceiling is set with crown molding and around the molding pieces it is painted Gothic blue. The curtains on this floor are Gothic blue as well. 

vampire art

Space within the rooms on the first and second floor allows our camera angles to be within the walls without zooming in or using mouse look. The opposite of the grand artwork are the balcony doors, they match the entrance hall doors and a heavy Gothic wood doors with iron bands. These doors do not open together, but rather one at a time. They are on a 15-second delay and will automatically shut. If you accidentally click them so that they close on your command, then the door stay opens rather than closes. If this should happen and you're comfortable with editing the doors, use the rotation command on the edit menu until the door is back opening in the correct direction.

roof and balcony views

This is the same for the entrance doors. From the second floor, you can walk out onto the balcony to enjoy your view into your neighbor's yards (shhhh)! If you want you can teleport to the roof, the teleport is set in the gargoyle on the right of the balcony doors, right click and choose sit here. It will put you on the roof. The gargoyle on the roof will return you to the second floor. The balcony wraps all the around the second floor, go out only if it's at night.

The moat for the castle is a pond of molten lava. It flows back to

view of the moat from above

the rear gate toward the seething volcano that rumbles underneath your home. The castle itself is up on columns so that it won't burn up your home. There are two gates that open and close automatically, click to open and you're treated with a horrific banging as it opens and closes. Both the front and back gates are guarded by gargoyles, spiders run over the front of the arch and

views of the exterior of castle

lions are in the lower half of the arch as if stuck there by magic. The turrets on the second floor and roof match. They are made from blocks of burnt cement. There are round towers in each of the four corners of the castle. This imposing castle will be the talk of the neighborhood and enhance your standing within your community. This castle is set in a rezzer so that it's easy set up and take down. You can move your castle into position using the rezzer box. It's very important to read the instructions in the notecard that is in the packaging box. The castle rezzer is inside of this DO NOT open and copy contents of the rezzer box into your inventory. There is hover text on the rezzer box to remind you to click not open the box. The footprint for this castle is less than 30 x 30 square feet. The build is 250 prim. It's a mix of mesh, sculpt and prims. All the mesh prim equals to 1 prim regardless of what the original mesh says, thanks to a new nifty script I

free with the purchase of the castle

 have! So you actually have 250 prims, but what lovely prims they are! The build is yes copy, no mod, no transfer.

To finish off the fantastic build the vampire castle comes with fantastic Gothic furniture. My favorite one is the casket couch, which is a casket cut in half covered with velvet fabrics and beautiful aluminum legs and backing. This couch comes in three different colors Gothic purple, red, and blue. The castle comes with the Gothic purple casket couch.

vampire throne style 2

It comes with the vampire throne style 2. This is a leather and gold bound throne, with a Gothic red, head, and seat cushion. It's  twin is the vampire throne style 1, which is on the SLX for purchase. The chair has three different sits, relaxed, stern, and informal. The stern sit could also be called formal. The chair fits a pocket avatar of .38th of a meter tall.

The next set of couches are coffin couches with a coffee table. On the coffee table, there is a skeleton bursting from the coffin. They are bound in black and gold studded leather on the back and lower sides with Gothic red for the back and seat cushions. The couches are held together with and aluminum bands. These couches have three sits, to access, click on the back, seat, and lower coffin underneath the seat, (It's the part that has

coffin couches and coffee table

gold studs on the leather.). These couches make me want to wallow all over it. This style of couch comes in Gothic red, purple, and blue.

circular couch

The last couch that comes with this build is a circular couch that matches the other couches the lower part of the couch is bound int black and gold studded leather. The seat cushion is Gothic purple with luxurious green. blue, red, and purple velvet cushions around the back of the couch. There are four sits in this couch. One in the purple and one in each of the green toss pillows. The last one is kneeling on the big couch at the front of the couch. (Click the purple colored cushion to access this sit.) 

The last free item is a matching amethyst gemstone casket. This casket has a velvet blanket, pillow,

amethyst gemstone casket

and cushion. The resting pose if the classic Dracula pose. There are two lids on this casket and they and be opened separately. One can leave one door open and close the other or close them both. Sweet vampire dream!

I loved making this castle for you and I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Monster Blood Fountain

bloody monster in the fountain

It's Halloween and my favorite time of year. I have been very busy making gross, scary, and spooky items for your dark petite hearts this season.

The monster blood fountain sprays blood everywhere. The monster had a human skull on the tip of its pike and blood is dripping out of the skull into a pool of blood that flows, spirits only know where! It's enclosed in a beautiful blood marble. There is a puke green fog rolling off the monster. The fog isn't thick but is a great effect. The monster is covered in blood.

Ghoul Rocking Bench

zombies!

The ghoul rocking bench has a zombie sitting on it. The zombie's guts are falling out and onto the floor. Cockroaches are eating its intestines and every once and a while the roaches run out of the intestines and over the viewer's foot. The bench rocks by itself or an avatar can sit next to the zombie. The bench creaks as it rocks.

In order to make everything work correctly, I had to put the sit in the bench, sounds in the zombie, and the rocking script in an invisible prim underneath the bench. In order to access the menus: right click on the bench and choose sit; next, right click on the bench again and choose rock. The rocker will begin rocking! This bench has sound and to activate the sound click on the zombie. This build is yes copy, no mod, no transfer and has 18 prims. The intestines on the floor are separate from the bench so be sure to move the pile of guts when you move the bench. Otherwise, you will find that there are cockroaches infesting something you don't want them in. The intestines that are on the floor are mesh, therefore, I put a "prim" under it so that the prim count is lowered.

The 2015 Halloween season is here and I hope you have an esspecially ghoulish Halloween!

Contemporary Pots on Columns

contemporary pots

Inspiration struck when I began my pots on columns series. These pots have contemporary designs on them one black and white, one blue and white, and on multi-colored with crackled mosaics on it. Within each pot are flowers, and each pot is set on a column. 

These columns are height specific. I am a pocket avatar at .38th of an meter. The smallest column comes up to my waist and the tallest one is as tall as I am. Therefore, please be conscious of smallness of this build. (Recently, I have been building robust builds in comparison to my height. However, this is height specific.)

The total prims for all three columns are 18 while each individual pot is 6 prims. So the prim count varies depending on how many columns you set in your garden. There are three different heights. There is a pink and yellow orchids and a snowdrop planted in the vessels. The columns are white and salmon orange with semi-solid colored tops and jagged up and down streak along the sides of the vases. The permissions for these pots are yes copy, no mod, and no transfer, but remember the SLX allows you to buy items as gifts.

Greek Pots on Columns

Greek pots

Inspiration struck when I began my pots on columns series. These are Greek pots and two of them has a scene from Ancient Greece on them while one only has the black decorative slip on the top and bottoms of the vases. Within each pot are flowers, and each pot is set on a column. 

These columns are height specific. I am a pocket avatar at .38th of an meter. The smallest column comes up to my waist and the tallest one is as tall as I am. Therefore, please be conscious of smallness of this build. (Recently, I have been building robust builds in comparison to my height. However, this is height specific.)

The total prims for all three columns are 12 while each individual pot is 4 prims. So the prim count varies depending on how many columns you set in your garden. There are three different heights. There are red sunflowers, lily of the valley, and pink tulips planted in the vessels. The columns are honey marble semi-solid colored tops and jagged up and down streaks along the sides of the vases.The vases are made of red slip with black figures or geometric patterns on them. The permissions on these pots are yes copy, no mod, and no transfer.

Egyptian Pots on Columns

Egyptian pots

Inspiration struck when I began my pots on columns series. These are Egyptian pots and each have a scene of Egyptian life or afterlife on them.. Within each pot are flowers, and each pot is set on a column. 

These columns are height specific. I am a pocket avatar at .38th of an meter. The smallest column comes up to my waist and the tallest one is as tall as I am. Therefore, please be conscious of smallness of this build. (Recently, I have been building robust builds in comparison to my height. However, this is height specific.)

The total prims for all three columns are 12 while each individual pot is 4 prims. So the prim count varies depending on how many columns you set in your garden. There are three different heights. There is a pink orchid, yellow daffodils, and Gothic roses planted in the vessels. The columns are white-ish pink with semi-solid colored tops and jagged up and down streaks along the sides of the vases. The permissions for these potted plants are yes copy, no mod, and no transfer.

Another place to look at the pictures of builds is on Google + I was kicked off Facebook and lost all my SL photos that I had on there. I tried to reconstruct the collection, but was unable to make it as grand.

Chinese Vases with Flowers on Columns

chinese vases with strawberries, petunias, and bluebell flowers on columns

I found that some of the most beautiful and elegant flowers are simply presented. At Home and Garden for Petite Avatars, I believe the beauty is simplicity. This idea is represented in the Chinese vases that are beautifully constructed and potted with bluebells, petunias, and strawberry plants placed in the soil and set on marble columns. These potted plant and simple white columns are lovely and will enhance the beauty of your garden or patio.

There are three columns with potted plants each one is 4 prims with a total of 12 prims if you use all 3 columns at once. The columns are picked up together, which means that you can move each individual one anywhere you want. The columns are at three different heights.

Author's Note: To see the pictures better click on the picture and the blog will blow it up and you can see them better.

Enchanted Carousel

animals on the outer ring

The enchanted carousel has been a challenge to design and build, but I did it and I'm very pleased to present a carousel for petite avatars. The textures surrounding the middle are all original textures, the animals are mesh, and there is carousel music playing only when it is in motion. The animals move up and down; however, this is an illusion as it is the poles that move up and down. At top of the carousel is a horse that moves up and down with the carousel. The sits are all the same, which is the traditional seated horse. The center disappears from your camera when your avatar moves around it so you can enjoy your surroundings. To see the ride in action--watch this video. There are six animals to ride on the outer ring and five in the center ring.

Since this build is part mesh and part prim, your avatar can become RUTHED and to undo this effect, click stand, and move your cursor to the side of the saddle as you face the barrel of the ride. If that doesn't work try to click the saddle near the pole. 

To turn the carousel on/off touch the lower barrel in the center of the ride. The music and lights are on only when the carousel is in use. There are 20 prims, yes copy, no mod, and no transfer.

This carousel is made for pocket, tiny, and small avatars. My avie is a pocket avie and my height is .38th of a meter tall.

Car Ornamental Arch

ornamental car arch

This arch is inspired by an arch on Route 66. This amazing piece of art has stood on Route 66 since I was a child. The arch is covered with tiled squares of green, blue, and white while the car is tiled in darker shades of the same color.

Avatars may walk underneath the arch and flowers surround the legs of the arch. This arch will look good at your place of business, city center, walk underneath as you enter a town, or in your private garden. 

The piece is 31 prims, partial mesh, and is yes copy, no mod, no transfer. When you rezz the arch, look up as the item will be right above your head out of the view of your camera.

Car Wreck Garden

car wreck garden

A fun decoration for your garden is the car wreck garden. The taxi cab is a wreck but made new as a garden ornament. Flowers are growing out of the front and back seats of the car as well as grass underneath the car, rocks wedged half under the car, as well as a statue of a woman on the other side of the car. In the front of the car is a yellow quartz, matching the yellow cab.

The build is yes copy, no mod, no transfer and has 54 prims. This is a beautiful use of junk, and it will be a conversation piece with your friends. You will know that you are putting the car down properly when the bottom part of the quartz in the front of the car is in the ground.

Enjoy!
