Fantasy Faire: Creations of Dangarnon
Creations found in Dangarnon lent themselves to excess of color, of design, and of light, full of shine and fancy. For this explosion of excess, I put on both of the outfits form Storybook (Dangarnon) - a largely cutout shorts outfit, and the wriggly tentacles which can be a whole outfit of their own! The tentacles in particular have been a popular outfit on flickr! They're certainly one of the more evocative things available, and perfect for the spirit of Dangarnon. All around me are a bunch of spinning, moving cubes from E.V.E. (Dangarnon), available in all white, all black, or a combination of the two. They were a lot of fun to just put in place and let go, and the reflections they cast were simply delightful. I paired it with a bunch of three dimensional wall hangings from The Dark Fae (Dangarnon), available in a gacha with a fatpack for the rare. These can be a fantastic gift as well as something to hang on your wall if you're feeling a little insecure. Hanging from a couple of the signs are a pair of lamps from Zyn (Dangarnon), richly colored with thorny carapaces and long dark chains to hang them by. They look like something a despot might hang in the throne room he stole from the previous ruler, all darkness and danger. Also from Zyn are the wild and wonderful ball plants with their thick roots and bulbous blossoms. I particularly like the color and sheen to them - they really will stand out in any sort of landscape.
Fantasy Faire: A Traveller in Bright Haven
Bright haven is one of the shinies sims of the Fairlands this year - a delight of color and texture - and I put together a look primarily from this Haven, but flavored with some of the lovelies from previous realms I've covered. This hat and veil are from LOVE ROLEPLAY AND FANTASY STORE (Tinkers Hollow), and I adore both the styling of web and flowers, and the fact it is modify ok so I could fit the veil over my bangs. The large lotuses in particular are lovely, and helped to set the tone for my whole outfit. The gown is pieces from Tayren’s Fantasy Fashions (Bright Haven), making use of two of the colors sent my way to mix and match purple and gold. In the original, the bodice chan came with some flexible pieces, but I minimized them to focus on the lovely curves of the gown - fully lined! - and the way the scale texture was worked over its curves. The necklace has the same dragon motif, and for dancing the flexible pieces would give some fantastic motions and flow. The wings came with it and I love how they are textured and shaped; the shadows are awesome and rounded, mimicing the smooth curves of the scales dress.

Part One is here.
Chapter IV: Preparations
Bard Queen: Before you leave, emissary, I would like to give you another gift myself. Please pick one of these items...Bard Queen: The elven knife has the keenest of blades. It will cut through the hardest roots, the strongest vines. It may even cut through rock, although that would take time and blunt the edge.
Bard Queen: On the other hand, I could give you instead this very special candle. Burn it and it will surely calm down even the most aggressive creatures. Or you may find use in the special unguents worked into the wax or its magically enhanced wick.
Bard Queen: The choice is yours, which one do you prefer?
Sunday Squee: Fantasy Faire
Fantasy Faire is going on until May first, and I love it to distraction. This year, I'm doing my best to do three kinds of posts for each sim. One about the landscaping and rezzable poses form each sim, making a scene and writing a few details about the items. One about the sim itself, with all of the details. And one about an outfit, with pictures taken on the sim. I've been going to the amazing events, watching the shows and sometimes taking pictures. Plus there's an amazing literary challenge, where you can write a story for each sim. Ironically, the last is going in the opposite order of my posts - someday soon I'll meet myself in the middle!
I love the sheer explosive glee of the Fantasy Faire: the excesses, the over-indulgences, the creativity and enthusiasm. I love exploring each sim - fourteen this year! - and crawling into the minds and inner worlds of amazing creators. Many of these creators return from year to year, making bridges between the sims they create and linking together those Fairelands from year to year in style and substance. I love the people, and how much they love what they do. I love the silliness, the kindness, the focus on the positive to the exclusion of almost everything else.
There's another week of Fantasy Faire - come and join us in this excess of imagination! I look forward to seeing you there.

Fantasy Faire: Creations of Bright Haven
Bright haven has some fantastic goodies - beginning with these rough-hewn log planters, filled to the brim with all sorts of blossoms. The lobelia and impatients are Relay for Life donation items from Kaerri (Bright Haven), and their bright splashes of color make a fantastic backdrop for the rest of the scene I created. I love the texture on the wood, and the way it catches bright lights. Tucked behind them are even larger flowers, fit for a giant garden, from ThatChick (Bright Haven). The textures are multi-colored and fun, ranging from the pale white and pearl drops of the ghost flower to the shining cool shades of the other crystalline flowers. All of the wild creatures are from ThatChick as well, Bohemot with her rainbow wings swooping in from one side to startle the winged pigs circling flowers that match their pastel pale hues. At the center of the scene is a fantastic fountain from Magnum Opus (Bright Haven), white particles spilling from the base and bright pink poppies sprouting up to offer a splash of brightness. All of these amazing landscaping items are available at Bright Haven during the Fantasy Faire - so come by and experience the faire first hand!

Fantasy Faire: The Tale of Exiles Hunt - Part 1
You purchase the HUD from vendors at the landing areas of each sim; there's a standard version, which gives your the HUD, and the deluxe, which also gives out an outfit to wear. You need to be wearing three things out of the HUD folder - Two which say "Attach me" and the HUD. A permission request will come up when you put everything on; accept it so that you can be moved, you can be shown wearing the right things, etc...
My comments and hints are in italics. Part Two is here.
Chapter I: A Hero is Needed
Meet the Bard Queen in Fairlands JunctionYou will be teleported to the Fairlands, right next to the Bard Queen. Click on her and a video will play, telling the story of the Quest you are about to accept. She will also give you a necklace to wear to mark you as her Emissary - a lovely gold harp.
