MadPea - The Case for Praying Mary Hunt - and my gift

I was very excited to have been accepted along with fourteen other designers to participate in the MadPea - The Case of Praying Mary hunt.

The tale behind the hunt is as follows :

Widow Millar was nicknamed 'Praying Mary' due to gruesome killings of three of her husbands and praying next to their dead bodies. Mary denied everything and claimed it was all a misunderstanding. Her motives were never understood. Once Mary was caught during her murderous act towards husband number four, she was sent to the Peatonville Asylum and was locked away in an isolated cell. The number XVIII was engraved over and over on Mary's cell, but no one was able to figure out the meaning for it. Mary herself passed away under sinister circumstances in the Peatonville Asylum in 1934 and the case went cold.

Millar's abandoned house was long closed from public until it was eventually sold to a family fairly recently. While refurbishing the house, they discovered a hidden journal underneath the planks on the floor. The journal seems to have been written by Mary herself and it desribes clearly how Mary did not only kill the three men who married her, but also the 15, who refused her proposal or otherwise got in her way.

After some thorough investigation it's been confirmed, that 15 men went indeed missing during the years of 1920 and 1933. The grounds of the former Millar house were turned upside down, but no bodies were found. The journal is the only clue of what has happened to these men. On each page of the journal, next to the description of the killings, Mary has drawn a cross with jibberish on it. It's believed that when someone deciphers the message, the bodies of the men can finally be found and their souls released to rest in peace.

My contribution/gift for the final act of the hunt is - a house.  Yeah I know.  But I love to build houses.  This house is really special to me though.  It has working windows, locking doors, and a hidden compartment.  It also has all the normal sanctuaire details - like trim, hinges, door knobs - oh and of course custom textures.  The total prims for this house are 129.   Yeah I know!  Like I said I am pretty proud of myself for this one too.

Here are all the pictures for it -

Four Walls Hunt Gift Finished! Party for me!

I have been taking a break from building my current build (which has taken me longer than usual to do due to being very picky.  Trust me it will be worth it when I release it in a few days.)  To work on my Four Walls hunt gift/prize.

I decided to create my version of a garden party.  It is copy/no mod/ no transfer.  This is my first almost entirely mesh item.  Only two items are sculpt and that is cause I couldn't find a mesh item the quality that I wanted.  Well, that and being to lazy to figure out how to make it myself in mesh.

The hunt is from September 1st through 15th.  There are a ton of fantastic designers involved and I am proud to have been accepted.

Here is the first pictures of it.  I hope you love it as much as I did making it.

- hugs and all that stuff
