    Our guild hall was overdue a facelift of sorts and being really tired of the way the inside of the ANT T3 guildhall looked (and being outvoted 2-1 in moving to Freeport ) I moved us outside. There is still a few thingys inside which I plan to redo sometime in the near-ish future.
    I struggle quite hard with decorating anything in Qeynos or things which are goodie-themed (does that make sense?) Dark and dreary stuffs come a lot easier to me and I've always wanted to do a festival/carnival type theme. I adore greenery so to me its a nice compromise to not being able to move to Freeport.
    Apologies in advance for the pictures being a bit dark, but I like carnivals at night much more than in the day time. You can get into much more trouble that way!

    I had previously made this aviary/gazebo/vine-y/swing set 'thing' and I quite liked it, so having torn that down I added 2 tree swings here.

    The path that leads past the NPC area and to the left takes you to the spire/druid ring/pond area

    I always wanted a cute bridge thingy so I added one here

    The path to the right of the NPC area leads you to the carnival

    Carousel

    The Carousel has 8 adult-sized rides and 4 little-sized rides (I wont say kids because I have to be in consideration of faerie-bugs and gnome type people )

    There is beer and assorted munchies available here

    There are loads of souvenirs for purchase as well. You can also get a face-painting from the lovely Vanadesse but you must hold still, because she will bite you :p
    [IMG]
    You must purchase a ticket before riding either of the rides! Only 10 shiny coins each.

  9. ARCHIVED-Plexie Guest

    Thanks for the compliments all :)

    To Gracey :
    The swings are hierophant's crook x 2 and medium maple shelves x 1, then I just placed the crook's to look like they were coming out of the tree branch (using a divider) and when they were placed i added the shelf :)
    There are a couple other shelves which I thought looked better but that you couldn't sit on, so I choose maple as I like to be able to 'use' things like this hehe
    heres pics of the old swing set i mentioned, from june 09. its a bit more neato imo (maybe because its a pair and a little bit romantic :) )
