Into the Woods

This month's Collabor88 is "rain or shine"- so, of course, umbrellas were a necessity.  I've had these pagoda style parasols built for sculpts for quite some time before mesh was released (and even longer before that, I've made ones for myself out of old traditional prims when sculpts weren't even a hint yet- one of my early early projects before I first started Schadenfreude on La Reina), and was never quite happy with how they would have to be shoehorned so I didn't finish them.  But now, mesh means I can finally have my strange umbrellas in a state I can actually accept.  The parasols come with 3 hold poses for holding right handed, and two for holding left, so you can take your pick of which works best with your shape and AO.


To go with them, there are dresses that share the same lace pattern- in keeping to the theme (...sort of), I drew a lace pattern that starts out on the bodice with rain clouds raining down onto trees, then through a forest of flowers to more trees and deer heads at the lower hem. The parasols share all but the upper section of the lace pattern (the clouds and rain) to match.  (I'm quite fond of this pattern, it might end up on a wall in the elephant some day as well.)

And to wear under your dress on those colder rainy days, there are 3 pairs of leggings and matching knee high socks, in lightning, suns, and clouds patterns.


All to be found only at Collabor88 this month, after which they will (eventually) be moving home.  Though home is moving too very soon!

Fifty Linden Vestday and a table!

This week's Fifty Linden Friday is a pair of vests, of course, and a table:


The Ambrosio coffee table is a dark wood and wrought iron mesh table, in two flavours- one is 1LI, with decorative drawer fronts on front and back; the other is 2LI, with decorative drawer fronts on the back, and three functional drawers that slide in and out on touch.

And, of course, vests!  This time verdigris and peach, in the DeVere brocade pattern.


At the elephant, for this Friday!

Hula Girl and Mermaid Lamps

This month's Collabor88 theme is kitsch- so I decided to make some fun lamps.  The hula girl lamp features a skirt that wiggles back and forth when you touch the skirt (as they do!)- and when you touch the rest, you can turn the light on or off.  There are 12 shade options included (6 colours of solid leather, and 6 fabric shades with a bold hibiscus print), and 6 colours of fringe, to be changed with a HUD.


The mermaid lamps also have 12 shades- but instead of the flower print, there's a fish print in 6 colours.  There is also an uberpack of both with all the shades and more texture change options- you can mix skin colours, hair, and in the case of the hula girls, skirts, to the combination of your choice.


At Collabor88 for this session!

Eggs for Breakfast

There are two more sets of eggs, beyond the pastel Easter set.  One set is natural eggs, with white, tan, and brown solid eggs, and speckled robin, tan, and brown eggs- all also in white egg cups, with candle options.


And then there is the Gentleman's Breakfast, a set of 6 eggs I've taken a sharpie to and doodled on a selection of mustaches.  Those come with pastel striped pants for egg cups.


And there's also a pack of all three sets of eggs, with texture change HUD options- the 6 striped pastels from the Gentleman's set, and 9 solids (which mostly match the ceramic of the Tako tea set, though the green's a bit more spring green, if you would like some eggs with your tea), so you can mix them however you so desire.


Each egg/egg in cup/ candle is 1 LI, and they can be found at the elephant!

Vestday and Eggs!

Another Friday, another vestday.  Also, eggs for Easter!  Mesh eggs, 1LI each, just eggs, in egg cups waiting to be broken and gobbled up, and re-purposed old shells, filled with wax with wicks, turned into pastel candles- touch them to light the candles or put them out.


And this week's vests are DeVere brocade, in black and creamy ivory.


At the elephant!  (Now with more eggs- there are 2 other sets of eggs not on sale for FLF, and a pack of all of them plus some more options)

Adore&Abhor Amargosa boots

Adore&Abhor is celebrating their 5th anniversary, and has invited some special guests to help celebrate- I happen to be one of them!  From me, you can find a special pair of Amargosa boots (the rest of which still aren't quite around yet, sorry!  Soon...probably...), in pink and blue.

You can go for the pink set, or the blue set, or the pack of both- they all come in Standard Sizes for men and women, with a HUD with pink and blue laces, wood and black soles, 4 grommet metals, and solid and decorated in the colour (or in the case of the pack, both colours in solid and decorated- the HUD lets you choose toe/heel, tongue, and sides to your choice for mixing options).

Only at Adore&Abhor's event, which ends April 16th, after which they will disappear!

Classix Nouveaux and Ultravox

This month's Collabor88 theme is "New Romance"- which led me on a bit of a side track to the New Romantic pop culture movement (what can I say, I love me some 80s), especially in light of the colours this round.  Because I'm a great huge dork, the shoes I made for this round are named after a couple of bands that were big in the New Romantic scene.



Classix Nouveaux are somewhat traditional saddle shoes (the lines are, perhaps, not QUITE strictly traditional), with sizes included for men and women (also mod to fit if you need to tweak), and Ultravox are their foxy sister, with a bit of a heel.  They both come in a slew of single options, in solids, stripes, and polka dots; and in packs with all the options and then some, with more mix and matching potential.

Both shoes are only available at the lovely new Collabor88 build for this month!  After the event has closed, there will (eventually) be more options as well.
