Schadenfreude Daruma and Kokeshi Sake

I continue to have a thing for daruma dolls.  Again, paired with my thing for kokeshi dolls, a 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrel set of daruma (no eyes, one eye, both eyes filled) and kokeshi (again with the stacking!) art- assemble your stacks to make the dolls you want, for celebrating the New Year at Okinawa New Year Festival.  The HUD will work with other sake barrels, so while the pyramids aren't in this set, replaced by the taller stacks, you can still apply them either direction if you have other sets.  Set doll versions ("set" button below each) are provided for each kokeshi, plus the random mix and choose each piece specifically.  1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)

Plus a sake set to match the daruma barrels, bottle open and still sealed, cups full and empty.  Touch rezzed cups and versions of the bottles to change the eyes, or other versions of the bottles to get a drink.

At Okinawa New Year Festival until January 11!

Schadenfreude Year of the Tiger Sake Barrels and Kagami Cat

Happy year of the tiger!  Japonica is celebrating the new year, and a cat has taken the place of the mochi in my kagami mochi 鏡鼠 this year.  The cat comes in or out of the tray, with an orange on the head, the offering tray 三宝 and paper, together and separately are also included, 1 LI each piece.

And a new set of 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrels decorated for the new year, with a maneki neko and a tiger version, a kumade (rake decorated with lucky symbols to rake in luck) in normal and tiger version, zodiac clay bell, and a haruko no tora (a traditional papier-mâché tiger of Kagawa Prefecture).  Stacks and single barrels, 1 to 2 LI each at about a standard 4-to 72 liter size of about .65 meters tall barrel, with extra shading options to choose from if you are picky in how you stack!  (There are versions of top and side shadow boxed so you can stack them on top of each other or next to each other and keep the shading they have in the particular stacks also.)  HUD texture all to your desires- set them all the same, choose individual labels to texture to exactly what you want, or let it randomize them for you with the mix button.  You can also mix HUDs from other sake barrel sets for more options, even in the same stack.

At Japonica, open December 25 at 8am SLT - January 23 at 8am SLT.

Schadenfreude Castlereagh Deer Heads and Frame

Fauxidermy deer heads at Okinawa Christmas Festival, with frames to use alone or highlight their mounting.  with 22 texture options: wood, silver, gold, rose gold, and a rainbow (and pastel rainbow) of plastics.  The deer heads can be changed with the entire head the same option, or mix the head, antlers, and each eye to options you choose.  The deer heads come plain in every pack, plus decorated options for Christmas.  The holly bedecked version has two little pieces of holly attached- each side is also included separately, and you can unlink holly to use it for decorations elsewhere as well if you desire. The ornaments version has 6 ornaments hanging off the antlers, each can be changed independently to your choice of shiny and matte-er ornaments in an assortment of colors.  The fairy lights version has a few solid bulbs (red, green, yellow, blue, and purple), alternating color bulbs, and a multi string to choose from, and can be set to all be solidly lit, off, or two different blinking modes.  The candles can be individually lit and extinguished, with the ability to set your own lighting settings which will be remembered.  There is a candelabra with 8 candles, and a menorah style with an extra candle in the center on the head, as usual my menorahs are entirely non traditional.  Hanukkah was quite early this year so it has already passed, but for future years!  All are 1 LI each, with the exception of the candle holding versions- those are each 2 LI.

The frames come in 3 versions: an open version for highlighting other wall hangings (like the deer head), an open neon version with a light halo from the neon lights hidden at the base, and a closed version with a scratched antique mirror or to hold your own picture.

All to be found at the Okinawa Christmas Festival, until December 25.  The Winter Festival continues with a New Year Festival later.

Schadenfreude Diamant Champagne

For Collabor88, some Glammed Up champagne to celebrate the holidays, Diamant is a Brut champagne with jewels inside the bottle and poured into glasses.  Texture change gemstones with assorted options, including a closed bottle, an opened bottle, the cork, a bottle in a silver urn bucket (with gems atop the ice), and glasses both empty and full.  The glass can be held and you can drink from it, the bottles include versions that will give glasses to drink to your guests.

Schadenfreude Apple and Pecan Pie

Pies at Collabor88!   Apple and pecan, each pie comes with a whole pie, a pie missing a slice, an empty pie pan, a plate with a piece of pie, a plate with a piece of pie and a fork, and a separate fork.  Texture scripted for 8 embossed ceramic colours, includes versions of the plates and the fork to hold, and versions of the whole and slice missing pies that will give pie to those who touch it.

I've never made an apple pie- apple pie was never big in my family so I haven't even eaten many of them.  Now, pecan pie, on the other hand...

My mother's recipe for pecan pie:

pie shell of your choice: We cheat in my house, and use Pillsbury premade pie crusts.  The refrigerated one that you roll out, comes in a pack of 2 so you have an excuse for a second pie.  Making pie crusts is a lot of work, and these are pretty decent, so you know, more time to make more pies this way.

3 eggs, slightly beaten
1/2 cup raw sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup pecans

Mix everything together: it's easiest to mix them without the pecans first, then add pecans and then mix those in too.

If you have a gas oven:
Bake 10 minutes at 450
Then 35 minutes at 350

If you have an electric oven:
Preheat the oven to 450
Lower heat to 375 when you put the pie in
Cook for 45 minutes

At this Collabor88, until December 6!

Schadenfreude Skull Safety Pins

Safety pins with skull closures, in silver, gold, and rose gold at RITUAL.  There are just safety pins, open and closed; Meoli (머리) earrings that don't have the loop so they are easier to wear, and Dugae(두개) necklace with a large safety pin on a chain.  Just safety pins and earrings have larger bounding boxes so they don't have to be as big as they come and can be scaled down quite a bit if you prefer.

Schadenfreude Halloween Cupcakes at the Syndicate

There is also a hunt, where you can look for 4 candles from me.  Two candles hold cupcakes:

And there are two other ~mystery~ candles to find!

Schadenfreude Burmese Hintha Weights

Bird shaped weights for ORIENTILIKA!  There are 10 weights in the set, each as an individual object, and 2 groups of all of them as one piece- one set lined up showing off the graduating sizes, one set clustered.  Each object is 1LI at realistic weight size (they are small).

These are known to the tourists (at least the English speaking ones) as "opium weights", though they were just...weights.  I fell for it (sort of): they were marketing souvenir repro sets of the tiny ones as such when I was in Thailand.  I wasn't looking at "real" antiques and they were obviously new tourist sets, but they were cute so I got some elephants, and I love them.

In reality though, animal shaped weights, mostly cast in bronze, were traditionally used in the region known as Burma (currently Myanmar) and some of the surrounds, to weigh everything you needed to weigh.  Why use a boring plain weight when you can use something beautiful?  They were designed to be highly accurate, so even though they look intricate they were still effective to weigh whatever you were measuring.  After the British conquered Burma in 1885 (ahem the East India Trading Company wanted something), they were phased out for boring plain round iron weights, and that's a shame.

This is a traditional set of 10 weights, from 1 viss (~1600 grams) at the largest size, to 1/8 tical at the smallest.  1 viss = 100 tical, so the 1 viss weight is the largest, the second size is 50 tical.  Aside from the largest weight, the rest are listed in tical (~16 grams)- the smallest size is 1/8 tical, which is also 1 mu (~2 grams).  The units were also known as peithha for viss and kyattha for tical (the currency of Myanmar is the kyat)- as well as assorted other regional names (the kyat was the bhat in Thailand, the originator of the name for their currency as well).  The largest three (1 viss, 50 tical, 20 tical) have decorative handles that would have made them easier to use.  Each king introduced his own standard set of weights, so the weight did fluctuate at times- for older weights to be continued to be used, they had to be adjusted to the current standard for the time.  Myanmar continued using their units of measurement into the 21st century, but they have been gradually switching to the metric system.

The hintha bird system was a popular shape for the weights: you may be more familiar with it under its name as the hamsa bird, of the Buddhist religion.

At ORIENTILIKA until the end of November 7 Japan time (November 7 at 8am SLT).

Schadenfreude Skull Snails

Panic of Pumpkin in Okinawa has started!  I've been breeding giant snails.  1 LI each at human skull size, static little dudes.  You can hold a couple of dwarf snails (a little smaller because they are awkward at full size!) with you as well.

They also have the daily advent again this year- every day (starting at 8am SLT) new doors are holding gifts for you!  When my door opens, you will find a wreath, made of skulls.  The snails have moved on into new ones, these are the rejects.

At Panic of Pumpkin, until the end of the month!

Schadenfreude Skull Disco Balls

Collabor88 is all about Halloween Icons this spookiest month of the year, and I'm throwing a Monster Mash for my prom (bucket of blood optional) with disco ball skulls.

The disco ball itself of course- 4 LI is due to the number of bits to make it work: it needs 6 separate pieces in it to make the lights work, which gets you to 3 LI without any choice, and I allowed the one more so they would be easier to make work in your space- there are two types of hanger, and each can be stretched as long as you need for the drop, so your skull ball can be just where you need it!  There are also two mirrors included, one with a darker base than the other, so you can use the one you prefer.  They rotate with an editable script that you can tweak to get just the right speed for what you need.

Salem is here for Halloween month!  The Shelley Heels are, of course, named after Mary, the author of Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus.  She developed the idea during the Year without a Summer of 1816, when a major volcanic eruption disrupted the weather and they were bored and coming up with ghost stories.

Single Shelley heels are one colour for the shoe shell, but include HUDs for the bones, stitches, and soles.  They can be joined by another single colour, or all on its own with the pack, to allow you to also mix the two outer sides, and change left and right shoes differently if you so choose.

Rigged versions for Slink, Maitreya, and Belleza female high feet, plus an unrigged pair to perhaps fit to other bodies.

The Pygmy Caprus skull from a pygmy goat; the Felis skull from a cat; and the Equus skull from a horse.  Each comes with a HUD that allows you to choose from bleached or yellowed skull, and from a selection of drippy candles in brights, pastels, and neutrals.  Touch to light or extinguish the candle, you can choose whether it has the extra starry glow effect or not.  Cast light and non cast light versions included- the cast light version can also have its settings edited while lit and it will remember (if you want the light to be brighter or dimmer, be cast out further, how much the flame glows, etc.  The flame and light colours can also be changed, though you may find that the optional starry glow does not suit tints and may wish to turn it off with the HUD).
