New Flexi Wings - Fallen and Mech Butterfly

Mech Butterfly - a cyborg butterfly! Or something. I was trying to make something light and ethereal. This is what I got. Go me, I'm so dark and goth. Two more colors - purple and orange. See them at my flickr account here.

Speaking of dark and goth . . . Fallen wings.

Lucky Board Wings

I've changed the profile reward pick wings to Lucky Board wings. I prefer profile rewards but since the Lindens changed the search parameters and picks is no longer used at all AND because it never worked without glitches. So . . . Lucky Boards - they are set to change letters every two minutes AND have wild cards so hopefully winning several pairs will be easy. I rarely have the patience for lucky chair/boards so I set it up with myself in mind ;)

The Giselle Wings (pictured in orange) are also available in 5 other colors. The Mecure Gallant wings from this post are also on the lucky board and I plan to put one or two others up in a few weeks.

79L Sculpted Wing Special

Introducing . . . Material Squirrel's 79L weekly wing special.

Here are the wings:


Sculpted wings - fully scripted as our all of our wings.

The goods:
Every week, my plan is to have a new set of wings at the special price of 79L. So look for new wings every Tuesday, unless real life gets in the way or SL has a really bad day. And yes, the first several (4?) of these will be recolors of this set of sculpted wings. If that offends you and you need to write nasty blog posts, well, ok then. But I think most of you will like the recolors :)

I may reintroduce these wings later, but NOT at this price. So these may or may not be limited editions, I haven't thought that far, but they won't be 79L again.

Oh, and I realize the wings on the demo stand aren't situated right. Ziggy will fix that when he gets home! If you have trouble seeing them, make your av way smaller. I know it's a pain, but he'll get it fixed soon!

Alt Fair Stuffz - New Wings

The Alt Fair is raising money for a great charity - Nothing but Nets - which provides mosquito nets to people who cannot afford them in countries where malaria is a serious problem. Every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria and we CAN do something to stop it. Malaria also affects adults and nearly killed a family member of mine.

Because I love this charity so much and sometimes worldwide charities don't get much attention in SL, I have 5 new wings


These wings are at a special price of 199L each. 100% of the sales from the Ondine wings at the Alt faire goes to Nothing but Nets.

Please note that these wings are not a limited edition. They will be available in my store (at 299L) and not for the charity after the fair - this is a special fair pricing/offer. Possibly the rose color may be changed to a pinker color after the fair (making it a sort of limited edition ;))

And of course my usual fair special:
199L Flexi wings
399L Sculptie

Material Squirrel at the Fantasy Faire

Material Squirrel has a booth at the Fantasy Faire in the Wings, Wands, and Wonders sim!

2 Wings are Limited Editions for the Relay for Life - you'll only see these at the faire and possibly in my store for a few weeks after if I hear lag is bad and people weren't able to buy the wings or they need more time. But they are limited edition, meaning once they are gone, only the smart ones who bought them will have them in their inventory.

100% of the profits go to Relay for Life

Plus they are priced at a special wing discount of 199L




Also new and shiny at the fair:



Severine Wings - shown here in black. See Flickr for other colors

And if you need more incentive:
I have a wall of flexi wings priced at 149L each (reg 299L)
and a wall of Sculpted wings priced at 399L each (reg 449L)
And some special fatpacks.

That's not enough?? Cripes, you want a kidney? (Haha, do I sound like a used car salesman yet???)

I've also hidden 4 ribbons around the Wings, Wands and Wonders sim - each ribbon is set for sale at 0L and contains a Material Squirrel gift card good for 299L (which you can use at the gift vendors in my store only, see the nc). The fair organizers also have some ribbons containing Material Squirrel gift cards that a little fairy told me might be put out on the central sim. I'll try to put out more gift cards throughout the week, but I'm crazy busy this week both in SL and RL so we'll see :)

New Sculpted Angel Wings

Happy Thanksgiving to those of you in the US.

And look, I finally finished some wings! These took me a while. The sculpted ones require the sculpting part and then the texturing part and then scripting fun. So it's a lot more work than the flexis.

But they are worth it!

These also come in silver, gold, espresso and snowflake, but I'm trying to not torture the feeds with too many pictures. See my Flickr for pics of the other colors.

This is my job.

Second Life content creation is my job. No, it does not pay terribly well. No, there are no health benefits. But I get to work at this part time and spend more time with my kid than I might be able to otherwise. AND I get to create things and make things, which I LOVE. I always have about 400 million more ideas than I have time to do. (Which doesn't even count the projects I've started and never finished.)

Content theft hurts content creators. Not only the lost sales revenue, but the time it takes to deal with the theft and file the DCMA and open tickets with LL and then sometimes they still have to do that ALL over again to get the stuff finally wiped.

There are TWO groups today who have boycotts in SL. One is the Step Up. They are asking for NO uploads. The other is Artist's Voice. They are asking for boycotts of all L transaction/Land store and to have shops close up their stores completely and to not shop.

I don't think that the boycott of stores/shopping/transactions is the answer. This penalizes the two groups who are hurt the most by content theft - legit shop owners who spend countless hours creating and the loyal customers who spend the Linden to support those countless hours of creation.

I know people want to do something. And I do appreciate people who aren't all content creators bringing new ideas and new forms of protest to the table. Content creators have been talking to Linden Labs about theft since 2006 (or maybe 2005). While we were able to get LL to act on some of the copybot issues, we still can't get them to go any further. So to see people form groups and say, hey let's do something, well, I really appreciate that. But I don't agree with the form the Artist's Voice protest took, so I am not participating this time. (Tho I am going to refrain from uploading files, that I can do, I hope. It is NOT going to be easy.)

Elysium had a wonderful idea that we should swamp LL's email servers with emails of protest. THAT is something that wouldn't hurt content creators and might even get LL's attention. Maybe. I hope to see both of these groups come up with new forms of protest.

I'm speaking on this so my loyal customers know my reasons for not closing my store.

Other voices:
Achariya is doing an excellent series of blog posts with designers speaking on content theft.
And I also really liked what Allegory had to say on this subject.

Deader Than You Tour

Welcome to the DEADER THAN YOU tour!

Here's how this works:

You buy things with token items. (I've put up token items in each wing section so you should be able to find something in your style - look for the bat token image!)

You turn the token items in for COOL STUFF before the end of the month.

We're all really happy.

It's simple!

Tokens are redeemable at ANY store along the tour, so you can turn in tokens you bought from this store somewhere else. All token items come with a token bat that can be redeemed for really nifty prizes. All token items have an explanation of how to redeem the bats. Bats can only be redeemed by the stores included on the tour.

Now go. Buy. Redeem yourself and your bats.

Happy shopping from the Deader Than You rock tour!
