And one also could've gotten it by clicking this sign inworld, at the beginning of the holiday village. :)
...Here's a more detailed look at the textures used on the house, in Midday view...
...Here's some more detail on the window texture, and the happy snowman's sparkily staff...
...Twinkling tree...
...Peppermint candy stepping stones...
...And yes, that's a fence of Ed too *giggle*
...Merry Christmas, & "ho, ho, ho!" it's Santa Claus!
...See the shiny medal hanging off the side of the house? :)
I temporarily derendered the medal so we could fully appreciate the detail put into this house, here...
...And so pardon me while I eat this right up! XD
*NOM*
Switching back to Midday view, more of the house's detail...
Back into Midnight view, this quaint #3 wintery treat entry is from
Pammie Venkman...
...And here we have the side view as well, in Sunrise view...
...And one final close inspection of the door and icicle detail, before we move on...
Back to Midday view, up next we have entry #4, by
Aleea Soulstar, who is also the 3rd place tie winner...
...See the medal hanging off the roof, there?
...Here's a postcard view...
...Sit a spell, and check all this detail out with me...
Merry Christmas, poor overworked elf!
...Oh yeah, and I wanted to point out the back of this fire-roof texture that wraps stars around the whole thing...
(BTW, yus, this is Sunrise view)
Back to Midday view (yeah, I tried Midnight view on this one, but I promise, it didn't do any justice), entry #5 comes from
Qventa Nikolaidis, who did an interesting holiday space theme!
...Here's a closer look with more details, including the side of the house...
...Here it is from the back...
Back to Midnight view, here is entry #6, by
yours truly, winner of 1st place! :D
...You can sorta see the medal hanging on the door in the background there...
...But first, I jam-packed this with *SO* much detail, let's start at the beginning...
...Against the #6 sign is my "Nightmare/Bats" ornament, complete with the blue-violet "INFO. ^♥^" float text... so that when you click it, it gives you an "INFO: 2019 Majik's THE HAVENS Holiday Decorating Contest" NC:
"Greetings!
"I just wanted to say thank you for inviting me to THE HAVENS, and for doing such cool events like this contest! Not only is it wonderful to be a part of something great again, but I thoroughly enjoyed spending as much time as I could decorating everything (around that troublesome RL, you know, LOL)!
"Each year, it always comes down to some panic like, 'Oh, geez, the holidays are here again - what am I gonna do for celebrating or gifties to friends and whatnot? OMG!' But this year, THE HAVENS made it pretty simple ...Didn't have to worry about a thing, just followed my heart and put everything into this little artsy display I got to participate in. So, thank you very much for this fantastic opportunity and canvas! ♥ :)
"Also, I would also like to take a moment to thank all the kind folks at Builder's Brewery who helped me with ALL my stupid and annoying building questions with sincerity & professionalism. You guys have helped me since the beginning of time + seriously rawk! Thankies! ;) ♥
"...So anyway, now I will talk a little bit about this art project I did for the contest...
"I chose the roundy house because I knew I wanted to make an ornament scene (like a bunch had kinda maybe fallen off the tree from the heavy house, or maybe like someone was getting ready to decorate it - in an effort to capture the "overwhelmed" sense I mentioned earlier): the eye is in the beholder. ...Also, as an interesting tidbit, if you're a fairy (or other small creature), I thought it would be fun to build this so you could actually have the tiny experience). ;)
"Now, there are about 7 ornaments on this lot...
"There's the 'Nightmare/Bats' ornament, obviously inspired by Tim Burton's '
Nightmare Before Christmas' (I love claymation, and I think Tim Burton is fabulous at it), which you touched to get this information (thankies!). This is made from a sculpt kit I got to decorate my old wings for the holidays, a couple of years ago ... + being a dark fae / succubus, I just L♥VE bats!!! ;D
