Cooking Show & Town Square | BLACKMIST100

Hey guys, Mist here.

Today, I have a Cooking Show (ft. Babycrier) and a Town Square---a set used in one of my YouTube series, So B. It. I liked it so much that I made it part of my Igloo Creations series.

Lake Cabin Igloo

Hey guys!

Mel here.

Today I bring you a Lake Cabin Igloo, suggested by our fellow blog owner HarryCP.

I have not been to a lake cabin, but my cousin has and it's pretty fun. Their structure is actually built on a lake!

The igloo:

What does it include?

• The Cabin
• x2 Tallest Trees
• x2 Lamp Posts
• x3 Bordwalks
• Holiday Trees
• Bushes

• 
  
  To make your blank spaces at the back of the igloo completely non-existant, use Holiday Trees (Note: be careful with the theme of the igloo, on some themes they may not work. For example, nature igloos are more likely to have them there). Not only they will remove those ugly blank spaces but they'll compliment the foresty look!

School igloo by Harry Cp!

Hey! I decided to make a School igloo. I made a School earlier this year but I decided it wasn't good enough and so I gave it another shot and the igloo turned out 10x better. I still took some elements from my original School igloo and ex-author Sofia's many school designs also helped influence the outcome. Take a look :

School igloo by Harry Cp!

This igloo includes :

• Maths class (Lower left)
• English class (Lower right)
• Art class (Top left)
• Science class (Top right)
• Entrance & Trophy display
• Canteen (Cafeteria)
• Lockers

I think in general, College's are over-rated as people put more effort into the accomadation rather than the classrooms so I hope this igloo gives you some new classroom ideas.

Let me know what you think of this igloo by rating it /10 in the comments. Don't forget to suggest what I could do to improve the igloo.

Universidade de Coimbra (University of Coimbra) Inspired Igloo

Hey guys! It's Mel here. Today I bring you an original idea based on the oldest university of Portugal and one of the oldest in the world, as well as in my opinion, one of the best.

The igloo I present to you is an Universidade de Coimbra (University of Coimbra) Inspired Igloo. Woo!

Brief description of the building which this igloo was inspired in:

The University of Coimbra (UC), the oldest in Portugal and one of the oldest in the world, is also one of the best known and internationally celebrated, being a national landmark. With a history of more than seven centuries, presently UC has eight faculties, more than 45 research units and several other services that support the institution core activities – creation, critical analysis, transmission and diffusion of culture, science and technology. Through research, teaching and services to community, UC contributes to the economic and social development, environmental protection, social justice and citizenship promotion and consolidation of knowledge-based sovereignty.

The igloo:

What does it include?

• The building
• A clock tower
• x2 lamp posts
• Street with zebra-crossing and marks
• x4 Hedge Trees to give it a neutral look

If you want to  make a detailed window like mine on the the top section of the building, you will need 2 Coffee Tables and a guitar stand. Place the coffee tables one above the other and the guitar stand and ta-da!! There you have it. Place whatever walls or items you want to use underneath and on the sides to hide the ''rough edges''.
Note: this has been previously used by other authors, like Netsky,  and I don't claim this idea to be mine. Although me and Netsky used this idea, the real creator of the table window is Cheezloversmw, a very creative igloo maker that uses the oddest items in the funnest ways!

 
And that's about it guys! Although, as I said above, this is an inspired igloo. I inspired myself in the building and recreated some of the parts, whilst giving it a ''touch of me'' aswell.

What do you think? Did you like it? Comment below!

See you on the next post!

IGLOO IDEAS [SHOW] ANNOUNCEMENT

As you guys know, Igloo Ideas [S4] completed production last weekend with another 30 igloos rolled out between 15 episodes. Well now I'm delighted to announce that Igloo Ideas [S4] has been renewed for an additional 5 episodes which means 15 more igloos and bringing the TOTAL number of Igloo Ideas episodes to 105!

I am pleased with how Igloo Ideas [S4] is running due to the overall editing of the episodes and the views seem to reflect that, being considerably higher than Igloo Ideas [S3]. Season 4, Episode 2 even surpassed 1.1k views - AMAZING!

I have already made the first 3 igloos to roll out for Season 4 Episode 11, and I think the School igloo is one of my best igloos in Season 4.

Perhaps even more episodes will be announced?

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Igloo Ideas : Season 5

Along with the order of more Season 4 episodes, I am happy to confirm that there will be a Season 5 of Igloo Ideas! How will this differ from Season 4? 

Season 5 will officially be the remaking season. What does that mean? I will be remaking some of my old igloos from Season 1 and Season 2 which could be updated to suit the new skills and new furniture that I have picked up over the years. 

Right now, I am unsure as to how many episodes there will be but I can confirm that Season 5 will air whilst Season 4 is still airing.

The reason why Season 5 will be remaking old igloos is because Cp hasn't released any new furniture for a while which makes it hard to continue coming up with new ideas. Also, a lot of the older ideas are common igloo ideas so I would love to update my versions for you guys.

More Season 5 news coming soon :)

24 HOURS LEFT ON THE IGLOO CONTEST

Beach House by Verde Sal [SUMMER IGLOO CONTEST ENTRY]

Hey what's up everybody, it's Verde Sal here. Today I've got an entry for Harry's summer igloo contest, a beach house/vacation house. I took some elements from Harry's open-concept house igloo, which you can see here. Anyways, here's the igloo:

Beach House by Verde Sal

This igloo features:

-Two bedrooms

-Kitchen

-Bathroom

-Living room area

-Beachfront location

I haven't made a house interior before, but I'm happy with how it turned out. I also went with the red color scheme for something a little different. There were a lot more little details I wanted to add (outdoor furniture, plants, more detail in bedrooms, etc.), but I hit the item limit pretty quickly. If you have any suggestions for this igloo, feel free to leave them in the comments with a rating out of 10. :D Peace,

-Verde Sal
