Schadenfreude Chopstick Rests and Kokeshi Sake

Okinawa New Year Festival is ringing in the new year with little ceramic daruma chopstick rests, with and without black lacquered chopsticks.  5 daruma colors to choose from, 1 LI each with or without chopsticks.

And some sake to celebrate with!  There are also versions filled with green tea, if you prefer.  Each of the three sets is designed after a different style of kokeshi doll.  All include bottles with the top attached, bottle and top as separate objects, and the top on the table next to the bottle; plus stacks of cups to match stacked up into dolls, and singular unstacked cups.  Bottles and stacks can be touched to get a cup by you or your guests, in plain givers and in versions that will take each cup individually until the stack is gone (and then restack themselves automatically).  The Togatta dolls are stacked as dolls with the small cups upside down and also in stacks of small cups upright.  The Tsuchiyu dolls also have mixable stripes on the cups that can randomize themselves each time they are rezzed.  All have larger cups as part of the sets- the urn shaped torso cup in the case of the Tsugaru, and the extra large head cups for the others.  If this were a RL product, I would also be designing some drinking game around them for the large cups!

At the Okinawa New Year Festival, open December 26 at 7am SLT until January 12.

Happy year of the dragon!  Japonica is celebrating the new year, and you can become a dragon with horns decorated with ume flowers in shades of white, pink, and red, in two styles of realistic and stylized paper cutouts.  The horns have 12 options- white, black, brown, and red, each solid and tipped in gold or silver.

And a new set of 菰樽/飾り樽 sake barrels decorated for the new year, with a maneki neko and a dragon version, a kumade (rake decorated with lucky symbols to rake in luck) in treasure boat and dragon version, zodiac clay bell, and a tatsugaruma (a traditional papier-mâché dragon of Fukushima 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 21 at 8am SLT.

Schadenfreude Pinecone Advent Wreath

More Joyeaux Noel at Collabor88!  An advent wreath with the 4 candles of advent, light each one individually.  Projector light scripting isn't as broken as it was, so I got to do some subtle but crazy things with the lighting on the plain version and the (2LI proload) version.  The extra 2 LI are to preload those projectors- so you only need one of them in an area, if you go without the preloader, it might take a moment or two for the light to load properly to illuminate just from the lit candles.  There is also a non projector light version, and one without any cast light, that just has glowing flames, if light sources mess up your scene.  You can edit the amount of light, radius, color, etc. while they are lit, and the settings will be remembered when more candles are lit or extinguished.

At Collabor88, December 8 until January 6!

Schadenfreude Wine and Cookies on Starry Plates

And some German Zimtsterne to snack on with your wine, cinnamon spice nut cookies in the shape of stars, with icing.  This plate also can give out cookies to your guests, and there is a separate cookie you can rez or hold in your mouth.
