Prim Perfect Jigsaw at the Home and Garden Expo: The Prime Cantina

The Prime Cantina and Beach

Back to the Home and Garden Expo today – and I warn you that you’re going to be seeing a lot of jigsaws from there over the coming week, as the Expo is jam-packed with scrumptious goodies.  And then there’s an amazing Breedables Fair too!

Today’s picture os of the beach that leads to the Prime Cantina. Prime are the sponsors of Home and Garden Expo 3, and they’re right next to the Prim Perfect region. In fact, you can take a boat from our Greek-inspired region to the Mexican themed Prime cantina – and change from drinking ouzo to drinking tequila … and admiring the fine Prime style at the same time!

But before you do that, let’s do a jigsaw!

If you’d like to submit a photo of your own to feature as a jigsaw, send it to the Prim Perfect Flickr Group. It should be sized 800w x 600h, or else it will need to be re-sized.

Check out our talks at the Home and Garden Expo – and don’t forget the beautiful lantern ceremony, every day at 4pm.

Prim Perfect Jigsaw: Bay City Funfair

Bay City Funfair

As you’ll know (specially if you read this blog regularly!), Bay City turned five yesterday, and today’s Designing Worlds show will be visiting Bay City to explore something of its community, its history, its builds … and its continuing partnership with Linden Lab and its moles – as can be seen here in the beautiful retro funfair.

There is – for Europeans – something interesting about the design imperative of Bay City – a reflection that there was a time, relatively recently, when culture was not global, or homogeneous, and a suignificant art movement could take a decade to achieve prominence (and popularity) on different sides of the Atlantic.  We’ll be talking about that on today’s show.

But, for the moment, let’s do a jigsaw!

Prim Perfect Jigsaw: Once more in Lula

In Lula Once More

Inspired by the image in the jigsaw from yesterday, which I took from Honour MacMillan’s wonderful photoblog: Honour’s Post Menopausal (View of Second Life), I popped across to Lula to see if it was really as pretty as it seemed in her blog.

And you know what?

It really was.

As I hope my own picture today proves!

I’ve been popping around other places too … the Home and Garden Expo and the SL10B Community Celebrations regions.  Both are not ready to be photographed yet – but starting to look very exciting!  More on that soon.

In the mean-time, let’s do a jigsaw!

Prim Perfect Jigsaw: Loving It Here in Lula

Lula

Here is another image from our deputy editor, Honour MacMillan – taken from her wonderful photoblog: Honour’s Post Menopausal (View of Second Life).

In this recent post, she muses over early mornings (and guilt) while exploring Lula, a really beautiful region where she perfectly captures the soft early morning light.

Do go and read … and visit … but first, let’s do a jigsaw.

Have you started following the Quest for the Golden Prim?

Back in the days of The Primgraph, we regularly featured the web comic The Quest for the Golden Prim. When the magazine closed, so too did the comic – it had completed its first volume, and had just started on a second.

Now, two years later, it’s back – and in an exciting new web format – complete with games that relate to each episode.

We launched it at Fantasy Faire – and now you can see the first two episodes of Volume 2 – here (Part 1 – After the Volcano)  and here (Part 2 – Still No Word of their Ship?) – and also look at the Games that go with them.

The opening of episode 2

You can also catch up on the Archived Chapters of Volume 1 here.

And another episode will be out tomorrow.

(And why does Lady Copperhead see Ralph Montcalm’s face in the mirror?)

Prim Perfect Jigsaw at Fantasy Faire: Sunset over Lotus Valley Dream

Lotus Valley Dream

It’s not just that it’s hard to let go of the wonderful Fantasy Faire this year (although that, too!).  Taking another jigsaw from there is a way of giving you a nudge (is that just a Brit thing? It’s like a firm hint!) that tonight will see the second of our two shows from Fantasy Faire on Designing Worlds – and more about that will follow later.

And that show will include a visit to the subject of today’s jigsaw – Lotus Valley Dream.  Sunset here was not a problem – the windlight setting was a permanent and beautiful sunset (a modified version of one of Bryn Oh’s settings, one of the creators, Marcus Inkpen, told me). The Explorers Club had a beautiful location – as you strolled out, you looked straight out over the road leading down to the setting sun, the beautiful buildings ahead, the lake (with its lotus and its dragon) glinting off to the right …

Is it possible to be nostalgic for something that’s only been gone a week? I think so.

Over 9,500,000 raised for Relay for Life …

Let’s do a jigsaw.

Prim Perfect Jigsaw at the Fantasy Faire: Lumenaria – and Part 2 of the Hunt

The Streets of Lumenaria

I have a few last lovely pictures of the Fantasy Faire to post – like this view of Lumenaria. We saw a dragon boat flying over it yesterday … today we have a view from the ground.

Although most of those beautiful regions have gone now, swept away by the sand of time (and Linden Lab), one remains – and that is the Valley of Ish’nar where the Hunt is taking place!

If you were able to complete Part 1, wear the Hud you used then. The treasure chest icon on your Part 1 HUD must be open to get a free Part 2 HUD.

If you missed Part 1, you can purchase a Part 2 HUD with a donation to RFL of at least 150L  And the organisers are stressing that you should please READ your local chat when you attach the Part 2 HUD for instructions to activate it.

The Hunt was designed by Mad Pea, the story written by David Abbot, and the region itself was designed by Ryn Verwood – all three huge recommendations!

But first, let’s do a jigsaw!
