Dragonfly madness at the Alt Fair

The Alt Fair is all about protecting people from exposure to Malaria from mosquito bites by providing nets to families. It's a simple concept, but a powerful and effective one. Weather! or not? decided to go with the bug theme for our exclusive releases for the Fair... so we went with dragonflies! (Further has a bit of a thing for dragonflies, you see). There are a series of these tshirts - with two different colors schemes for the graphic and then varying shirt fabric hues as well. These forest green ones pictured are the variety released exclusively for the Fair.

... and of course we had to release an umbrella as well - this one is a lovely Green Dragonflybrella! It features the same swarming particle system that the Batbrella uses.

The Alternative Fair is on the Pulse, Nomine, Snatch City and New Kadath Sims April 22-May 2. The first Annual SL Alternative Fair features over 50 designers in Punk, Rock, Gothic, Grunge, Lolli, Visual Kei, Cyberwear and many other styles of Alternative Clothing, Skins, Hair and Accessories.

Upcoming Releases at the Fantasy Faire!

Well, we've been meaning to make more of this line for a while - and now it's here. Presenting several new items in the Wrought Iron Whimsy series - Wall Sconces, the Whimsybrella, and coming very soon - Fences! The items in this series are great on their own and even better combined. You could create quite a lovely place with the Sconces, Lampposts, and Fences all together.

Each of these designs is completely original, right down to the sculpts themselves. Don't worry about slow loading sculpts though - these are super efficient and re-use the same patterns throughout the whole series to maximize your rez speeds. There are lighting elements included that give you full control over all aspects - intensity, color, prim color, etc. Very customizable for whatever location or occasion! Even the umbrella comes with it's own light!

Ok, we also should mention our one of a kind exclusive item for the RFL Auction at the Fantasy Faire. It's a Rosepetalbrella with purple tones - there will only be ONE of these released ever in this color scheme! We hope you support the RFL by attending the auction and bidding on the wonderful gifts there, and look for our offering.

Weather! or not? is so excited to be a part of this event - watch out for these and even more releases from us timed with the opening of sims on the 19th!

Spring has sprung with the new Daisybrella

What's better than walking around with a giant flower as an umbrella? Having two types of daisies spiral out and blow around you in the wind! Our newest umbrella offering features these elements, as well as lovely sculpted leaves and color change petals to match any outfit. This creation is very joyous - everyone we know who's seen it seems to have their spirits uplifted a little. We certainly enjoyed making it! :)

 Find it in-world in our Main Store location or on Xstreet

St Pat's Day!

We're super proud to announce two new release products to celebrate St Patrick's Day!

Firstly, Clover Paper Lanterns!



All original design and sculpting with an interior glow for a sophisticated effect. Item is copy & mod, so you can decorate a large area with them. Prim count is very low (only 4 for the entire string of eight lanterns!) but the quality & detail is high. Please take a look either inworld or on xstreet

Also the Cloverbrella!


A four-leaf clover custom sculpted umbrella that emits two different types of clover to blow in the wind. Umbrella is transfer - makes a wonderful gift! Available inworld or on xstreet.

Oh, and more coverage on this blog, featuring the Sunbrella vs a scary urban tunnel and a bad day - guess who wins? ;)

Neon and Dirty Laundry? New Releases for the Accessory Fair ;)

Weather! or not? new releases available ONLY at the Accessories Fair for the month of March:

Can't help but air your dirty laundry? Then this is for you you! ;) Although this umbrella provides minimal weather protection, drops the occasional sock and is kind of rusty & bent this accessory screams 'this person is a bit strange!'. If thats your kettle of fish, or your bag of eels even, please consider proudly wielding the WishyWashyBrella!

Features:
* Highly detailed sculptie construction, lovingly bent and warped from years of simulated virtual use (and swinging on it like it was playground equipment).
* intermittent sock dropping Particle effect
* flexible pre-soiled 'washing' hanging from the line
* highly detailed sculptie clothes pegs/pins
* sculpted wearable shoulder sock (as if one fell on you and stayed there).

This isn't just a texture in a box, its a fully sculpted miniature 3D neon sign! The text cycles from NITE to LIFE, going dark inbtween, and a small red illuminates you at the same time as the text lights up - cool effect!

Enjoy as always,

Fang Roffo and Further Monday

Three hunts at the main store location for the month of March!

This is the prize for the Twisted Hunt http://twistedhunt.dv8productions.net/.

Hint is: It's like finding a needle in a haystack... ;)

 

Lots of extras on this brolly for the steampunker in you! Hint is: Take a defensive position. Part of STEAM, the Hunt.

We are super proud of this build and think it's one of our best to date. Hint for this one is: Get some perspective! You'll find it as part of the Building Blocks Hunt.
