Cerridwen's Cauldron

Fritter Enzyme is back. In his first article in a while, he writes about his expedition to Cerridwen's Cauldron. Created by Elicio Ember, a builder whose work has been seen in places and events such as the yearly Fantasy Faire, the place is beautifully designed with much variety of landscapes. For those who would love to take a piece of the sim home with them, they can do just that. Elicio has copies of a number of his wares up for sale to help pay his father's medical expenses.

SL Video: "Misty's Goodbye"

(Click here if the video fails to load)

From Misty Mole / Calandris Pendragon (June 24, 2013) - "Some snapshots from my five years as a mole builder for Linden Lab. I was fired as a mole last week because I declined to carry on making original music for less than I'd make in McDonalds, with no discussion or negotiation allowed.

The video shows work I did for Linden Lab in the past five years. The music is by me, and I have called it Misty's Goodbye. The stills in the video include:
Build and objects for Nautilus continent
Interior build for Hau Koda airport
Memorial - build of the central monument, build of some personal monuments and music
Small builds to fill in abandoned land
Linden Homes sims and transitionals - decorating and original games hidden in some of the sims I built
Pyri - build of the throne and burial room
Cape Ekim, original concept and project management and music (dragon by Garden Mole)
Build for Sea of Fables sims
Build for Coastal Waterways sims, including the White Islands game
Project management and music for the experimental game build Kneph
Project Management, building and original music for Linden Realms
Sounds and music for the Grid Hunt
Fireworks for SL10B

I'm most proud of some of the plants I made for the moles, including the olive and fig trees, rosemary and wisteria I made originally for the Sea of Fables (the olive trees were used for Linden Homes sims too) and the games I hid in Linden Transitionals and white islands sims.

There's much else I don't have photographs to illustrate, as they are on my inaccessible mole account.

I loved being Misty Mole and feeling that I was contributing to make the Grid a better place to be. I'm sad to be leaving that behind, along with many of my team mates, who will carry on the work I am leaving behind."

Arctic Greenhouse

Grey Lupindo takes a look at the Arctic Greenhouse. Not only can one look at the plants and flora in this refuge of greenery in a place of ice, but one can play the games as here as well. The prize: one gets to take home one of the plants.
