Caught on the Thorns

"Caught on the thorns... ...of life agin..."


I thought when Silent Sparrow released 'Beloved' that it was going to be sometime before a mens outfit of such quality would surface again. How wrong I was... less than two weeks on Silent Sparrow released 'Thorns'. Thorns is jaw droppingly wonderful - I honestly haven't taken it off since it was released, well only to change colours ;)

It picks up from where Beloved left off and adds a whole new dimension of sophistication and beauty.

Silent Sparrow have released a special free version on the magic chair - It's a combination of Beloved and Thorns in blue, it's without a doubt one of the best freebies around. It really is worth picking up.

The outfit is also available in a women's version.

I'm wearing Thorns with the latest release for First Flower, Wolfsbane, high quality sculptured boots for MEN! Highly detailed with baked textures, many straps and buckles. The design is loosly based around riding boots. Like all First Flower releases, they contain no annoying walks, sounds or bling.

Usher Mansion

"During the whole of a dull, dark, and soundless day in the autumn of the year, when the clouds hung oppressively low in the heavens, I had been passing alone, on horseback, through a singularly dreary tract of country; and at length found myself, as the shades of the evening drew on, within view of the melancholy House of Usher." - The Fall of the House of Usher, Edgar Allan Poe

Usher Mansion is the latest release from October Rust and can be viewed in world at Dusk

It features a splendid entrance, four generous rooms and a huge attic. Gloom free of charge!

Utterly Useless from October Rust

Occasionally people ask why I make things. Primarily, I make things because I like to, the items I make are for my own enjoyment, for friends or to see if I can achieve something. I'm happy that others enjoy my items and I've been able to set up my small shop. Many items never see the light of day, or are given to friends, or just lie around my home.

So, here are a few of said, utterly useless items.

Paying homage to my favourite brewery, Wychwood. It's a barrel, but it's only 1 prim!! It does absolutely nothing and is in effect... utterly useless.

A collection of utterly useless barrels! But look at that tap! Not bad for 1 prim!

A bottle of Blackwych stout! No anims, it's just meant to sit around and use up a prim.

I was bored one evening and decided to make this for a friend. It just sits there, using prims and looking good, but it's largely useless!

The set includes:

3 candles with spider webs (6 prims each)

Beloved - Silent Sparrow



"It's colder than before, The seasons took all they had come for. Now winter dances here. It seems so fitting don't you think To dress the ground in white and grey..." - VNV Nation: Beloved.

...And so hyasynth dresses us is shades of black. Beloved, the new outfit from Silent Sparrow and possibly the best male outfit evah!


The level of detail in this outfit is breath taking, the intricate lace and exquisite shading combine to produce an amazing garment. The quality and crasftspersonship just shines, or it would if its blackness wasn't absorbing all light ;) What I love about this is the detail and care that has gone into a delicate outfit for males, we don't see it in SL enough! Although, Silent Sparrow has produced many quality outfits for bois in the past and my wardrobe would be severely lacking otherwise. I can personally attest to the care that has gone into this outfit's construstion - I was hya's guinea pig for the fitting, even though she was rude about my height, 'You're a monster!' it fits like a dream.

I'm wearing it here with the optional 'blood' shirt. The only change I had to make was combining the collar and cravat to attach to the chest to free the back for my wings, a change most wing challenged folk wouldn't have to make.


Oh, I almost forgot, it's available for women too ;)
