The art gallery has been judged!
In light of our holiday weekend, the Art Gallery celebrated Easter!
We had a lot of really adorable entries. Here are our winners:
They won:
The current theme is a Scrapbook Pet Page.
This is to use traditional media, not digital, and basically be a scrapbook page devoted to a pet on Aywas.
It can be a custom, site pet, shopkeeper, etc.
Take a photo or scan your completed page and don't forget to write your ID on it (don't add it digitally).
I look forward to seeing what you guys come up with for this!
Some upcoming themes have also been added!
April 15th - April 22nd: Aywas Food
April 22nd - April 29th: Earth Day*
April 29th - May 6th: Kites
You guys are slipping! :C
No one told me the Teal Tea Pants never actually made it to the Seasonal Shop, so you can pick up a free pair tomorrow from the Advent Calendar. Sorry about that!

Reminders!
Site Update
Holidays always seem to come and go so quickly, but on Aywas we're having some lengthy Easter festivities.
Egg Coloring Submissions close tomorrow night (the 10th) at 11:59 PM, so make sure you finish letting yours dry before then!
We're wrapping up things with The Glittering Gala!
Don't forget that the Seasonal Shop closes tonight after 11:59 PM.
There are roughly 230 Bird of Paradise SCCs left to be sorted through, so we appreciate your patience with that.
Much more efficient than manually handing pets out though, right? :)
If you didn't nab a Velvet Stardust or weren't able to use it in time, you may still create the BoP with a Silver Potion.
All Gala pet auction winners have been contacted, so if you won, check your inbox for instructions from me.
Congratulations! Those were fun to watch.
The contests will be judged by Mori. We'll have the results for those as soon as possible!
Make sure that if you submitted pets or clothing for the event that you contact Visark (#185) for your prize if you haven't already.
Hybrid Breeding Season and Custom Talisman Madness are both coming to an end on April 10th at 11:59 PM, so that gives you a little over 24 hours to grab those goodies!
You also have until tonight at 11:59 PM to get your comment in for the Free Custom Game!
Good luck!

Shop Icons!
Site Update
Two innocent-looking paws, or the difference between life and death?
If you have ever made the mistake of mispricing something in your shop, you might think they're one in the same!
When stocking your shop, we now have handy buttons instead of the drop-down.
The BP and GP text has also been replaced with the Blue Paw and Gold Paw icons when stocking and when viewing someone's shop.
This was a long-standing suggestion and I'm very pleased that we were finally able to implement it. Enjoy!

Explore Hatchlings!
Pets
The time has come once again for a new batch of lovely explore pets~ 8D
Looks like these cute little Reves couldn't wait their turn and slipped in with this week's batch too.
If you designed one of the above, please contact us for your copy of the pet.
Next week's bonus explore pets are the Maki, Oske and Chromo!
If you color one of the above species and have it accepted, you'll receive 10 GP per coloration accepted instead of the normal 3GP!
If you want to design some, go and post them in their respective threads here!

Happy Easter!
Site Update
I ran into a woman today who had her little boy with her and was doing some Easter shopping.
She told me that he is absolutely terrified of the idea of the Easter Bunny and the prospect that such a creature could enter the house!
To calm him down, she explained that the Easter Bunny couldn't get into the house because his ears are too big.
And this satisfied him. :3
I just thought that was the most precious thing and had to share.
Unfortunately, I cannot extend the same assurance to you, because Aywas is full of scary, big-eared Meeps and.. bunnies?
Meet the Lepu!
The long-awaited jackalope pet is here and is a common native to Ara, so it can be created with Orbs!
What better day for this pet to make its debut than Easter?
You can also start submitting pet colorations for this new genus here. Have fun!
Hey now, I said color the Lepu, not the Enchanted Forest! What is all this?
Looks like someone spilled quite a bit of dye.
Hmm.. might be a good idea to stock up on some, you never know when it'll come in handy!
Speaking of dye, we're doing some egg dying today!
Fancy coloring an egg that will be used in our upcoming festivities?
Click here!
We will only be accepting egg colorations through April 10th at 11:59 PM, so get those brushes out!
It seems that the fabled Easter Bunny has also left something for you at the Advent Calendar...
I wonder what's inside? o:
Happy Easter from Aywas!
We have a lot of fun things coming up, including an egg hunt and return of the Easter fields.
If you celebrate this holiday, we hope you have a lovely one and get to spend time with your family, friends, and pets! <3

Lilies and Cats
Site Update
For those of you celebrating Easter with lily flowers this weekend, and you have cats, please be careful and review this resource on lily poisoning in cats.
Fake lilies look just as lovely and won't be dangerous to your cats. Be careful!

More Gala stuff!
Site Update
You'll find a new assortment of hairdos, make-up and outfits in the Seasonal Shop. Here are a few previews:
We also released the multi-colored contacts in a set that opens up into a whopping twelve different pairs!
You will also find a smorgasbord of new HA items in the shops around Ay!
All gala-inspired clothing items added to official Ay shops are permanent items, so you can take your time waiting for a restock.
For complete item set details and locations, just take a peek at the Item Database--it's a very handy tool. :3
The last four BP auction pets have also gone up.
Remember--all pet auctions end in a little over 24 hours, so get those bids in!
Since all pets and items have now been uploaded, you may contact Visark (#185) for your payment!
Please be so kind as to give her an organized list of what you had accepted in your initial PM. :3
Don't forget about all of the contests that the Glittering Gala is sponsoring!
The Master Class art contests still needs entries, and we need some more competition for the Contributor Class. The structured writing contest could use a boost as well. Don't let people win the custom prizes by default!
The Sequins script is automatically set to be disabled after 11:59 PM on April 6th, so you have until tomorrow night to gather some last-minute glitter.
You must also use your Velvet Stardust by this same time. After the magic of the Glittering Gala subsides, the item will be only a collectable and it will be removed from the store.
The Seasonal Shop, however, will be left open through Monday, April 9th at 11:59 PM.
This should give you ample time to spend your sequins due to the holiday weekend that some of you will be celebrating. Aywas will be launching some fun Easter festivities, so if you don't have any big plans, we'll be able to keep you busy! :3
And now I am going to go rest my poor hand. XD
