I'm proud to introduce to you a new umbrella offering in collaboration with the renowned and wonderfully talented hyasynth Tiramisu of ~silentsparrow~! Combining her charming original strawberry vines designs and our wrought iron whimsy sculpted umbrella, we have created the Strawbrella. Windblown blossoms and raining berries emit from this one, and wow are they cute! Weather! or not? main store - available here :)

Charming Low-prim Footbridge!

Back with another of our low-prim, high-quality landscaping creations - a lovely arched bridge perfect for small waterways and paths. All unique sculpting work, you won't find this design anywhere else on the grid. All the boards and railings are actually three-dimensional sculpted elements - not just textures. Comes with an optional shadow prim as well. You can modify the size of this as you need to fit your specific location. Come check it out yourself at our main store location in Cape Victoria.

Yellow Brick Road to Nowhere and Pose Stations!

We released this during the Fantasy Faire, but never had a chance to blog it... plus we've just released a whole set of other interactive scenes based on the original build!

First up is The Yellow Brick Road to Nowhere. It is is a 16m x 50m piece of interactive offworld scenery with several different poses attached. It was designed to sit mostly beyond the edge of a sim. Of course, it can really can be used many different ways, including entirely within parcel boundaries. The poses provide a way of inhabiting this object even when it protrudes over the edge of a sim boundary. You can have up to 9 avatars posed on the Road at the same time! The poses match moments in the story - you can skip down the road with your friends, sleep in the poppies, get crushed like the Witch under a house, hang up and scare crows, cower in the bushes, and be rusted solid like the Tin Man!

If you prefer, you can now choose just single activity areas. Each Yellow Brick Road Pose Station is a 8m x 8m piece of scenery with an associated pose. The large transparent poseball over the scenery makes them easy to click from a long way away. Each one comes with two versions. One includes the grass textured base, miniature road, and emerald city. The second version is more simple and has less prims as it just consists of the scenery specific to the pose.

They make fun interactive additions to your home, garden, shop, or other build. People love to take pics of themselves and their friends while playing on the Pose Stations, and they will remember the unique experience! There are 6 different kinds available.

Curious to see it in person? No worries, just drop on by our shop and take a peak! We have the whole build rezzed off-sim... and, you can even hang out and fish the 7 Seas at the same time if you like :)

Enjoy, Further and Fang of Weather! or not?

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! :)
