Step into Narnia …

by Saffia

Normally, I don’t blog about the parties I go to (parties? me? No, I’m working too hard bringing you the very best of SL design … erm … you saw my crossed fingers, didn’t you?)

But this one was special, because it featured the most amazing build … and I’m going to urge you all to go there. And go now – because it’s a beautifully Narnia-themed creation – and it’s only going to be there for a week.

Party guests were told that dress was Ice Princess or Caspian Prince, and people picked up on the Narnia theme. And that was good, because when you arrived, you found yourself in an attic room with a large wardrobe. There was a book of clues, but I know Narnia of old – so I strode boldly into and through the wardrobe. There was a room beyond, filled with goodies and jokes and surprises but, being a little late, I hurried on through the exit and into the most glorious snowscape.

This was Narnia at its most magical, in the grip of the Ice Queen. I hurried on, past lamposts and to a snowy lake where I could catch a bubble that conveyed me across the winter landscape to my party destination. Below me, wolves howled and I suspect there were all sorts of little details to discover – which makes a return visit a must.

I was wearing my most Pauline Baynes dress – and I think it made for an illustration she would appreciate herself!

And then to a great party in a specially created ballroom in the palace – it made for a lovely evening!

The sim was specially built (in a stunningly short time) for the joint birthdays of Charlotte Bartlett of Scarlet Creative and Neil Robinson (who works with Charlotte and Scarlet Creative and also has his own Store of Stuff). They built it themselves together with BackpackLife Loon, Prad Prathivi and Spike Linden – and it is quite, quite magical.

Go now. You know you want to. And capture the magic for yourself.
