Welcome

All the cute and the precious have been found. All the kitties and puppies have homes. The candy colored, the eco-friendly, the hipsters of the handmade are all duly covered elsewhere. Here I will find the slightly odd, the darkly beautiful, the elegant and steamy pieces of goodness. I am very particular in my tastes and though I promise you that I will share nothing but the most intriguing of my discoveries, you may not always like them. I must also confess that I have no real artistic nor fashion background to base my finds upon. These are simply discoveries dug up from the depths of etsy or perhaps elsewhere, brushed off and presented for your approval.

The Gentleman

They Are Coming1. Black Dandy Coat - valkryordesigns
2. Fleur De Sweet Steam Punk Militia Cuff - JungleTribe
3. Big Sterling Silver Skull Ring 6 Size 10.5 - DementionDesigns
4. Post Apocalyptic Leather altitude/Gas Mask in Brass or Chrome hardwear - ProfMaelstromme
I couldn't decide whether my gentleman should be more goth or steamy, so I settled on a fine mix of manly accessories for either.

I was asked quite recently by a friend if there wasn't something in their shop that might warrant a feature on the wunderkammer. I searched and I found something that merely needed the proper theme to fit right in. So here is that theme. A dark, fancy, magnificent black tie affair. Enjoy.

Shock The Monkey

Don't Look Now, There's A Monkey On Your Back1. Wicked - olivehuedesigns
2. The Refined Henchman - chetart
3. Gorilla print - berkleyillustration
4. Capuchin - JVanHulle
Have I mentioned lately how much I love Steampunk monkeys? Yeah, well I do. I love them a lot. Know what else I love? Steampunk adaptions of favorite classic books. What's even better though are Steampunk adaptions of books that feature monkeys. Oh, today is such a win.

Recovered

2. Copper and Paprika Sewing Machine key necklace - Cinderbox
3. Mechanically Reclaimed - Partially Reconstituted, A Steampunk Pendant - Beardiebloke
4. Fathom Necklace in Sterling and Brass - ClockworkCrow
I imagine that all grand experiments end with results not exactly as expected and so went this one as well. Certainly it found some interesting finds to display here, but it did nothing to reduce my personal work load. Ah, well. Please enjoy these pieces found by my gentle readers and feel free to share pieces as you find them and perhaps they shall too end up, well...found.

A Call To Arms

Attention all Wunderkammer friends. The time has come to give back. You all possess the necessary skills, the impeccable taste, the unquantifiable understanding to find treasures worthy of the Wunderkammer.

So, my friends begin your hunt, find what can be found and leave your links here by Sunday to be featured on Monday. The theme for the day is "Recovered". Any piece found on etsy, or other handmade marketplace that fits this theme may be submitted. Please, my gentle readers, do not submit your own work, though it may be perfect. I want the things you covet.

Should this grand experiment succeed there shall be many more opportunities for your discoveries to be highlighted on these pages. I thank you and the Wunderkammer thanks you for your time. Let the treasures be unearthed.

I'm a black and purple gal myself, but the striking match of deep red and black is amazing to behold, when properly done of course. A few of these have been kicking around in my favorites waiting for their feature for quite some time. I hope they leave you wanting more.
