    Fairy Steampunk Contemplates Life

    September 1, 2026 - By 

    Lately, I’m contemplating my next steps (or wingflaps). Hats are involved. I have a LOT of older products to spiffen up. If that’s not a word, it should be. The men’s version of this single texture hat is worn leather, the women’s is a buff suede. Doesn’t everybody have at least one sewing machine and steam powered computer in their atelier? Doesn’t everybody have mad trowel typing skills? Working on 2 new-old hats, and getting excited to finish. I will be updating my products with PBR textures wherever I can, using either InstaMAT/Materialize, or Materializer plus the excellent GLTF Packer. I…

    Need To Start Creating In #SecondLife Again

    January 11, 2023 - By 

    The last time I made anything new or created something myself in #SecondLife was February 2019 for an inworld hunt I had participated in for years. Then I got sucked into the inworld farming game (DFS) and spent all my time feeding, tending, planting, cooking, and photographing products for selling in the DFS markets. I could go on about the mini-economy that Digital Farming Systems has become, but my personal experience is that it’s just taking up too much time and prim usage, and marketing the stuff is stressful and profitless for me. I’m literally distilling my unwanted inventory down…

    Virtual Treasure Hunters: Time to Gear Up for STEAM IX

    March 1, 2014 - By 

    There’s treasure out there in the Steamlands waiting for you to discover it – at midnight SL time March 1, STEAM IX begins. If you start at my shop in Steelhead St Helens, the sign to the left of the doorway has the link to the beginning of the hunt and helpful information. I’m participating, although Dhughan is sitting this one out. The theme this time is “Romancing the STEAM IX” so many treasure hunters will be looking for a big heart-shaped emerald of some kind, but with a steampunk twist to the narrative. It seems like most would need…

    Dancing with Feesh! Also New Stuffs, Looking Forward To Lantern City, and eh, Wot?

    March 16, 2013 - By 

    It was a lot of fun listening to Krypton Radio tonight, in spite of some technical glitches. They’re going to get to do an interview with Bruce Boxleitner (yes, yes, Captain Sheridan and Tron and all). He has a new project coming out sometime, a Steampunk one at that, and fan friendly as well: Lantern City. Well, this looks like exactly the kind of thing I’d like to watch: The new Steampunk show Lantern City, from executive producer Bruce Boxleitner, is an exciting foray into fan-inspired and fan-created television. It combines first-rate storytelling, innovative production design, and a rich world…

    Folding Mesh Room Screen – Bright Chrysanthemum – $L200

    March 16, 2013 - By 

    Animated folding MESH room divider screen adds Asian style and modern flair to any room. Touch to fold screen to the side, touch again to open. The screen panels are one retexturable face, as are the wood frames and the hinges. Keep a backup copy if you retexture (remember to retexture the folded screen too). I have included the screen panel image in case you retexture and wish to revert the original design. I hope you enjoy this product as much as I did in creating it, from an original kit by Sea Warcliffe and script by Tapple Gao The…

    Antique Bronze Rococco Room Divider – $L50

    March 9, 2013 - By 

    Just listed at the Marketplace: Simple antique room divider or boudoir screen. Semi-transparent, so best if placed in front of a solid textured wall. Works with many different styles of decor and eras. It’s copy/mod/no transfer, so you can take the transparency to 0 and switch it from “phantom” to solid. Keep a backup copy if you edit, though. This is pretty primmy – my next screens are going to exciting, animated MESH, as I cracked loose for a really nice builder’s kit. It’ll be fun texturing it, and I’m going to try to make a short video clip to…

    Inspiration: The Crystal Egg, by H.G. Wells #STEAM7 #SecondLife

    August 19, 2012 - By 

    And now, at last, some time this week to work on my offering for the upcoming STEAM Hunt 7. The theme this round is “Time and Space,” highlighting the work of H.G. Wells, who got a little steampunk love (and a surprisingly effective gender change) in a recent story arc on the aetheric vidshow “Warehouse 13” last season. There was, until a year ago, a little and very grimy-looking shop near Seven Dials, over which, in weather-worn yellow lettering, the name of “C. Cave, Naturalist and Dealer in Antiquities,” was inscribed. The contents of its window were curiously variegated. They…

    Gearing up for STEAM 7 in #SecondLife

    July 25, 2012 - By 

    UPDATE: Apologies to the person who tried to buy an item from a non-working vendor. New vendor goes live tonight. /me whacks head with stick Dhughan here, finally getting “on the stick” as it were. Rather embarassed to admit how little headway I’ve made with my products since this pompous and self-important post. However, the new shop in Tweddle is open. my parkland in Steelhead St Helens is soon to sport a wee cabin, and I’ve finally begun making new items and improving older ones. There is now a free AO (men’s and women’s) in a box at the Tweddle…

    Oh, THIS: Bruce Boxleitner’s Lantern City Might Be Good

    July 17, 2012 - By 

    Link: Bruce Boxleitners Lantern City This looks intriguing, especially with the audience engagement piece. Also, it’s in glorious BROWN. The new Steampunk show Lantern City, from executive producer Bruce Boxleitner, is an exciting foray into fan-inspired and fan-created television. It combines first-rate storytelling, innovative production design, and a rich world that fans will fall in love with. Even though it will blend great science fiction with dynamic storylines, at its heart the show asks two questions: how far would you go to be with the person you love and what lengths would you go to in order to survive? Lantern…
