Builder's Brewery Creator's Showcase

So my grad class is done and I can write on whatever I like.  Yay! Summer vacation. On Second Life, there is a cool place called the Builder's Brewery.  I like it because they give free classes on building and there are also freebies.  They sell a lot of different things too in their big building that are fun like a rocket that you can ride and a teleport door.  This weekend may 9-12, 2010 they were having a creative showcase that anyone could enter so I sauntered over to see what was there. There were a lot of cool stuff people had made.

Sapphy Rotaru built this aquatics environment (she said you can get more at Sapphys Gallimaufry Store at Ubatuba (148,59,23).  One of the things she said tht she had a lot of one-prim items.  I clicked on this grotto (the main large rock to the left in this picture) with the plants on front and either it's all linked or it is one prim.  It's very pretty. Mermaid time.

Medusa's Gaze was a gargantuan statue in front of a pirate ship by Pravda Dark Couture. Standing staidly nearby is Pierrot.

Behind her, the striped red and white sail is a viking ship which is below.   Only in Second Life would you find a yacht, a viking ship and a pirate ship next to each other at the docks. The creator Havorn calls his Viking creation, the dragon ship.

There were also a lot of different builds of homes from a Polynesian style on stilts to a grand manor home with old style ovens- you know the kind you see in ritzy pizza places with a fire and an opening above it where you can shovel the bread in and out while it warms the house at the same time.  I like the Polynesian style -- the build created a very good rope and board staircase to the loft and downstairs there was also a second bed built into a bookcase and desk -- very good if you don't have much space.
