Xiasumi School has opened its doors to the public for a spring school festival.  I'm in Supernatural club with ~silent sparrow~ (we're sharing a classroom) and katat0nik (in the classroom right next door) and a bunch of other awesome people.  Each club got to decorate the floor of its building- Supernatural club is the best club and you should vote for us.  I'm totally unbiased.

For the event, I made a few things.  The sakura mori neo kanzashi are spooky hair flowers with skull centers, a modern interpretation of the traditional Japanese 簪 kanzashi- HUD texture options in a variety of colours for all the bits, in hair clips and hairsticks and clustered hana kanzashi hair decorations with and without danging chains with skulls.  A less spooky version of them with smaller uncarved pearls is also available.

There are also little baby 狐 kitsune, who nap in your arms, twitching little paws and tails in their sleep.  Each comes with either one or two tails, the extra tail is where they store their extra magic.

And I made matching 狐 kitsune ears and tails for the donation item, all proceeds go to the Save the Children Charity for the Japan Earthquake Tsunami Children fund.  There are plain ears, and ears decorated with the same skull flowers as the neo kanzashi.  There are multiple tail options included- your choice of single tails, two sets of three tails, and a set of nine tails (for the very old foxes who've lived a long time).  They are divided into sections for more flexibility, so you can customize them further if you also use the Edit menu.

Select your base ear and tail textures from the top rows, and then choose the inners and backs of the ears, and the tail tips, from the lower options.  You can also select sections and tint the overlays for even more options.  Open Edit, and Select Face.  Make sure you select the parts with the transparencies, NOT the underfur (unless you want to tint that instead!)

The ears and tails can be found in my classroom, and with the rest of the donation items in the shrine area.  My classroom is in the east wing of the south building.

If you come to my classroom, there is also a free gift, a てるてる坊主 teru teru bozu ("shine shine monk"), the little bald doll hung as a magical talisman to bring sunshine and ward off rain.  He's also got a bit of a gruesome children's rhyme to go with him, befitting his appearance in Supernatural club!

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Do make tomorrow a sunny day
Like the sky in a dream sometime
If it's sunny I'll give you a golden bell

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Do make tomorrow a sunny day
If you make my wish come true
We'll drink lots of sweet sake

Teru-teru-bozu, teru bozu
Do make tomorrow a sunny day
but if it's cloudy and I find you crying
Then I shall snip your head off
 

The Xiasumi School Festival is open until April 21st.

Vote early, vote often, vote Supernatural!

Changeling Ears

A new ear style, small and subtle, but still pointed- to almost pass as human. In 4 styles to start with, I'll be filling in the rest as I go!

As with the rest of the ears- lifetime updates, including tone additions when they happen.

Out at the elephant, as usual.

Andromeda and Widowed Ears

The Andromeda ears are chained with dangling stars, and optional sculpted moons with little man in the moon faces. They come on both Fey and Mer-Elf styles of ears, and are HUD controlled with a bunch of metal options and tintable ear tones, with updates when I add more textures.

Electro-Cute Cameo & Solid Acrylic Plugs Ears

The Electro-Cute cameos have finally been added for the eared, in both Fey and Mer-Elf styles. There are 2 sets of ears in the pack, just the Electro-Cute cameos, and an Electro-Spook set with extra earrings and skulls. A texture change HUD lets you choose between all 10 Electro-Cutes (including the new skunk) and the 3 Electro-Spooks, as well as letting you change the metal elements between all 12 choices. The Electro-Cute jewelry fatpack set has been updated (wear your updating balloons!) with the new skunks as well. Finally.


(Philotic Energy and Old Gravy hair, both may no longer be available; a briefly released and a not yet released skin, both coming soon(ish) to Schadenfreude; Schadenfreude Electro-Cute necklace and tanktop; Schadenfreude Geoflake eyes)


(Atomic and Crimson+Clover hair; unreleased skins coming soon(ish); Schadenfreude Electro-Cute necklaces and tanktops; Schadenfreude Geoflake eyes)


There is also a new set of plugs- there are solid shiny acrylic, partially transparent, as opposed to the opaque plug set. They will also work with plug add ons, gaining solid insets with the selected plug art.


(MADesigns and Clawtooth hair; Schadenfreude Orpheus and Langwidere skins; Schadenfreude Oxford collar; unreleased fishnet shirt and collar; Schadenfreude Geoflake eyes)


(Schadenfreude and Ingenue hair; Schadenfreude Orpheus skin and unreleased skin; Schadenfreude Vitalle necklace, Seith jacket, and skunkbeater; Schadenfreude Geoflake eyes)

Out at the elephant, of course.

More ears!

I've finally gotten around to gauged versions of the Mer-Elf and ungauged of the Fey ears, so all styles now come in both:





(hair: Gritty Kitty, Clawtooth; Philotic Energy, Clawtooth; Bryce, Clawtooth
~silentsparrow~ Batty suit shirt, Schadenfreude Sugar Sugar and Electro-cute necklace; Schadenfreude Ghostbat beater; ~silentsparrow~ Rotten Severin jacket and Schadenfreude Oxford; ~silentsparrow~ henley
all skins and eyes by Schadenfreude)

The Fey Ears with plugs and with spirals also both come with 2 sets of ears, just the plugs or spirals, and also with some plain rings up the ears. If you have them already, put on your updating earmuffs to get them!

Out at the elephant!

WILD.Released

I'm behind on blogging. I have a new computer. A new droolworthy desktop (I've been using the same laptop for the past 3 or 4 years, maybe longer, I forget- you can imagine anything is a HUGE step up!) that I've been playing with and setting up and oooing and ahing over Windlight (which I could only _kinda_ get to work on the laptop, and even then rarely), and as a consequence I've been getting nothing done! (Especially as it takes hours to do simple tasks of set up...computers hate me and try to drive me insane by finding all possible ways to not do easy things. It took an hour to hook up plug and play speakers. CRAZY.)

ANYWAY. WILD.Released has been released! What is that, you ask? (And even if you didn't, let's pretend.) It's an event running March 20 to April 19 with a bunch of participants! Go to any one of the participating stores (there are a few of them to choose from. They are all super awesome), and buy an item that includes a WILD.Released Stamp Card. There are little signs all over marking things. Wear your Card, and visit each store, stamping it at the stamp kiosks. Turn in your stamped card for fabulous prizes!


The prize from Schadenfreude is a set of skins, and ears. The skins are part of the skin revamp that's kinda sorta on its way and not officially done yet- each of the girl makeups includes a version with freckles and without, each of those include hello boobies cleavage and regular, and each of those come anatomical down there or smooth like a Barbie doll (I'm a prude, and this way I can wear really scandalously cut things without worry!). Each of the boy makeups includes a version with freckles and without, and those with a mangarden down there or shaved, because I hear it makes tinting the pixelpeens easier. If you wanna see what I mean, check out Achariya's blog.

The ears are the Mer-Elf cousins to the Stumblebum Fey Ears with Ankhs&Plugs, named so unimaginatively. They have the same options- lifetime tone updates, 12 metals for ankhs and rings/studs, all with a handy HUD, mod for extra tinting. The plugs work with plug addons like the Electro-Cutes. The gauged version of the Mer-Elf ears will of course be making more appearances later.

There is _also_ an update to all ears: that lavendery tone up there, Alopex, is going to be a "standard" tone when the skins are released, so it's been added to the ears. (Yes, I'm a weirdo, but someone very special likes it, so it will be coming in a lot...especially a lot of bloo! It's not a horrible base to start tinting from for Launa Fauna's Snow Fae skins, either.) They are NOT in the vendors yet, you need to wear your earmuffs even if you're just getting them now (the only exception being those Mer-Elf ears). They will be, I just have been running around doing other things instead!

WILD.Released cards are only at the mainstores! (Because carding and decarding is bad enough as it is...) So, find participating merch and my stamp kiosk at the elephant!

Also!! Melt ends today. I don't know when. Get your ass over there if you want stuff, a lot of it is exclusive, though not all (but I don't know what isn't!) Also, it's beautiful, so you should see it before it goes anyway. Especially if you have pretty water. And then you should submit your pictures to the Mirror Installations pool. So I'm not so spamsome as I went crazy taking pictures with the new computer with the pretties, oh, the pretties...

Fey ears with plugs, Electro-cute Plugs

Fey ears with just plugs- 9 plastic base plugs. All plugs will change with addon HUDs with additional plug artwork when they are released- there will be more plug styles released as the mood hits (and ear styles), and you'll be able to grab the plug art HUDs you desire to be able to control all the plugs you have.

(another fantastic Clawtooth hair, see, perfect for ears!; ~silentsparrow Datura; Pig Ozfest; ~silentsparrow~ fledermaus tattoos; unreleased eyes and skin I've been wearing far too much!)

And an addon! The Electro-cutes in shiny plastic plugs. This includes the plugs themselves for human ears, and the ability to change all Schadenfreude plugs (like, if you have the ears above, this will change those plugs too!)

(both hairstyles by Tiny Bird; ~silentsparrow~ tudor rose tattoos; Schadenfreude Sparrowflake eyes, Diamond Dogs and Moonage Daydream Langwidere skins, Electro-cutes tanks)

You can find these at the elephant!

Etherial Fey Ears

A collab between myself and the lovely Saiyge Lotus of Balderdash, my ears, her magnificent jewelry:



They come in the same tones, with the updater for more later, just like all the rest of the ears!

You can find these ears at Schadenfreude and Balderdash!

Stumblebum Brigade- Fey ears with Ankhs

The Stumblebum Brigade has come to town again, with a weekend of exclusive love! This weekend hyasynth Tiramisu of ~silentsparrow~ and I are back again, with matching things- this time we both did ankhs. She made fantastic cropped Kurai jackets with ankh accents and beautiful swirl brocade, and I am still on an ear kick, so I made Fey ears with ankhs:

(special Alle green Scribble hat <3; a Clawtooth updo, which led to my discovery that Clawtooth hair suits the ears very well!; Cropped Kurai jackets from ~silentsparrow~; Schadenfreude Geoflake and unreleased eyes and modded Veronique 'hawk; unreleased skin that I've been living in for a while even though it has way less makeup than Alle usually wears)



I redid my metals entirely and added a bunch of new options- there are 11 metals that the rings and studs can change to, and the ankhs have matching options (but change separately)- gold, silver, copper, dark silvery steel, gleaming white, shiny black, and a nobium rainbow of hot pink, red, green, blue, and purple. (This jewelry will never been seen again after this weekend, so if you like it, you've got until Sunday night!) These also feature plastic plugs in 9 colours- the plugs will also change with all the addon HUDs with original art that will be released eventually (there's a sneaky preview of one to come in that first picture up there!)



As you can see, hyasynth and I went to Ozimals to frolic in our matching pieces- boy hya makes the best gay boyfriend ever <3

Remember, the ears with the ankhs and the jackets and all the other wonderful awesomeness are only available this weekend, Sunday night they go poof! You can find mine at the elephant, and you can pick up a notecard with all this round's participants there as well!

Fey Ears, Spiral Horns

New ears! Stretched fey ears, with spirals in 15 colours- like the Mer-elf ears, there are lifetime updates included for when I add more tones (and the same tones are included to start off with as well). I'm quite fond of these ears, and have been wearing them quite a bit lately. More jewelry styles to come, of course- some very soon! There will be plain unstretched ones as well, eventually, but I haven't gotten to remaking the sculpt yet (the importance of doing that isn't apparent in this set, but will be in other jewelry, eventually).


(miaSnow sacred heart tattoo, ~silentsparrow~ Cheshire tank and fledermaus tattoos, assorted my stuff including unreleased skin)

The horns also come separate if you aren't that into being one of the pointy eared.


(~silentsparrow~ tattoos, assorted my stuff)

At the elephant, of course!

There's also been a sneaky stealth update at the tree farm- 7 more candy colours of bottlebrush tree in all three styles, and copy fatpacks with the ability to mix and match glittery foliage and trunks or bases.

(I really hate taking pictures of trees!)

Ravens, ears, eyes, hair

Some new things!

One of my cascading releases, as certain things I made to be worn with certain other things (...and just for the ads), because I'm crazy like that.

3 new hairstyles, Branwen, Lethe, and Thomas. The uberpacks, as always, changes with a HUD so you can choose sections to dye as well. Branwen's the one that started this new session of obsessiveness, thanks to hya for suggesting the name that got me on this kick (♥), even if it was evil!

(in the foreground: Curio Elf skin, Scribble ears, ~silentsparrow~ Lysander outfit and oak.acorn.squirrel tattoos, Schadenfreude Tethys raven
in the background: ~silentsparrow~ Gloomy outfit, Scribble Ever After wings, Schadenfreude Langwidere Porcelain Smudged skin
retired Miriel eyes on both)

Lethe's been sitting in my inventory, nameless, for a while. It uses my first hair sculpts, and might actually be the first hair I made with sculpted bits, another one of my infinite A-lines (because that's what I try to get my hair to do, but hairdressers, do they listen? Noooo, they just give me bobs. Most successful I've managed so far was hacking my own hair off one night). I release hairs in chunks because when I get one ready I use the excuse to look through the old ones I haven't let out yet, hence, Lethe finally got textured properly and ready to go.

(in the foreground: ~silentsparrow~ Ritual outfit and goblet, Balderdash Jazz Funeral jeweled bracelet, random things that came up when I searched for "pearl" that I forget what are for the other bracelet and necklace, skin I'm working on, Schadenfreude glitter manicure
in the background: ~silentsparrow~ Chapiteau seanorses corset and Nymphai skirt, Schadenfreude Mer-elf ears and manicure
Beloved Designs eyes on both)

Thomas is Thom's longer and floppier twin brother, who's been intended since before Thom was released, but I hadn't quite gotten myself to finish it.

(Scribble ears and Schadenfreude Electro-spook necklace on her, Electro-spook tank/tee on both, matching Orpheus and Langwidere skins
retired Miriel eyes on both)

These hairstyles are now available only on the Marketplace. 

The raven who made an appearance in the Dusk Vest ad, and his companion who I needed for Branwen:


(Tish hair, Nosfercoat, Geoflake eyes, in progress skin)
Both white and black ravens come in two versions- a shoulder sitting version with curved claws to hold onto your shoulder better (and can of course also be rezzed to perch on braches!), and one with flat feet for standing on flatter surfaces, along with some fluffy bits around his legs.

Finned Mer-elf ears, which I decided I needed for Lethe (which, when I dug it out to retexture it, decided looked like it would be quite suitable for a mermaid). They have a few textures to start (1 pure white shaded texture, and the 8 tones of Langwidere/Orpheus, so it's got a somewhat decent range of natural tones to start tone matching better with tinting from at the moment- and of course most people who are not me wear hair that covers the ears a bit so an exact match isn't usually as required, just close), and of course can be tinted to match your skin better- and I'll be adding more skintones. There is an updater included, so when more tones are added, wear the updater and get the new HUD delivered straight to you!

(~silentsparrow~ Nymphai corset, assorted Balderdash necklaces, layered, Langwidere skins and Geoflake eyes- Mer on large, Sparrow on small)

Ears and ravens are available at the elephant, of course!

And a new special set of geoflake eyes, pale ice blue, with sparrows. These are only available in the attic at silent sparrow- when you teleport into the shop, head upstairs and through one of the doors to the area of fun stuff, including a few other exclusives from hya's friends!

(the ad shows a zoomed in as far as I could manage with SL being wonky with my camera, on just the body part layer eye- no post processing aside from cutting it out, what you see is what you get. And the prim eyes will be yet crisper.)
