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.

Welcome

Welcome friends and new explorers to the redesigned Wunderkammer. It has a new look, but rest assured, I will continue to showcase the same Steamy, Gothy and different finds.To celebrate the new look, I am proud to present:

The Great Wunderkammer Giveaway!

The Rules:
-Troll though the Wunderkammer's many posts
-Pick your favorite post or featured item and then come back here to this blog post, and leave a comment telling me what it was (if you can't find anything perhaps this giveaway is not for you.)
-Your comment profile must include contact information, if it doesn't be sure to leave a valid email address in your comment or your entry is void.(if I can't tell you that you won, what good is entering)
-This step is mandatory to be entered!!!

But wait there's more

-For an additional entry, simply follow the Wunderkammer (if you already follow the blog, just let me know in your comment)
-For another additional entry, tweet this giveaway, then leave a comment with a link to your tweet (you can follow me on twitter too...if you want)
-Finally for two entries, blog about this giveaway on your own blog, facebook, livejournal, ect. (complete with links and pictures), and come back and leave a link to your post.
-This contest is open to residents of the Earth only, seriously all humans welcome, aliens not so much.
-Contest ends on Friday August 21st. Winners will be chosen by random number generator and announced the following Monday.

Did I say winners... plural? Yes, I did. Here's where this giveaway is a bit different. You see, I always found it a bit anti productive to plug someone else's giveaway thus reducing my chances of winning. What if, however, more entrants meant more prizes? Here's my solution, for every 25 unique individuals(not entries) entering another prize will be added to the list. So if 26 people enter, I will add a second prize, 51 another until all seven prizes are unlocked.

Now the prizes all graciously donated by featured Artisans:
Prize 1:SteamPunk Key Pendant by Aranel

Prize 2:Absinthe Magnet by WinonaCookie

Prize 3:Leather Circlet Crown by Tom Banwell

Prize 4:$30 Gift Certificate to Adornments For Tarts by Choklit

Prize 5:Scotch Liquor Label Necklace by BellaLili

Prize 6:
Gear Necklace by Zkitten

Prize7:Custom Drawstring Bustle Skirt by Crescentwench


Remember each prize is only available once we reach the right amount of entrants. So get commenting and spreading the word about the Great Wunderkammer Giveaway and our different discoveries.

Also a huge thank you to Sarah of IndustrialFairyTale for the amazing blog makeover. Be sure to stop by her etsy shop as well for amazing art and jewelry.

I loved your buggy post!! Cure Critters!!!

Oooh!I hope I'm not too late!!! I just got back from being away for a week!

One of my very favorites always has been Choklit's work -- especially the cuffs. As a professional circus freak, I keep lusting after a set of them -- I've always had the juniper set favorited for a while, but the new mermaid-teal-themed ones she just added also are tempting. So, if I were to win a wunderkammer prize, I would hope for the gift certificate to offset the cost of buying a pair (for I think cuffs must be worn in pairs).

I am: circusfreak. And you can contact me at squadratomagico@gmail.com. (I think you actually have all the rest of my info as well, because we've been in touch before, but if I win, and you can't find it, just shoot me a line!)

And I also just subscribed thru bloglines.

It was such a joy to go roaming back through all your posts. I had thought I caught them all the first time around, but I was surprised by a few I'd missed. Picking a favorite was the hard part!

The Black layce and black leather steampunk shrug bolero is the current object of my lust: http://totusmelswunderkammer.blogspot.com/2009/08/jacket-required.html

It would look amazing with my black & red corset.

Thanks again for culling all this terrible beauty from the net and setting it in front of our hungry peepers.

If I'm one of the lucky ones, you can DM me on twitter: _irene_adler

Cheers,
Irene

I'm torn between the Ladies Mechanical Companion and the Explorer's Box. I love the detail in both!

I already follow the blog.

I just discovered this lovely spot thanks to the Steampunk Librarian.
I haven't had a chance to see everything yet, but the clock and thermometer on the Use It post is wonderful. And Zkitten's gear necklace is to die for! I play a steampunk mad scientist in an online forum, and am having a great time with it. I would love to be entered in your giveaway, and look forward to following your blog.

Hello, I suppose I should put forth my comment since I've been following your blog & the Wunderkammer on my RSS reader AND the Giveaway progress on Twitter!

I like your post on Monday, July 27th called 'Keyed Off'... in particular, I LOVE the mini copper journal you linked.

... And there, I've tweeted it, tho I'm not sure how to include a link. I think you can see it on my Twitter, tho, unless you've stopped following my random tweets.

While I have a LJ account, there's really no point to me posting anything there since I've not updated it in probably over a year now... and I don't think anyone follows it anyhow. I'm just not good at blogging (hence my late entry to the contest, too.) I'm an avid reader/blog-follower, though, and yours are wonderful.

Glad you got so many responses to the Giveaway!

My email, should you need it, is ladyalythe(at)yahoo.com

My absolute favorite item of discovery is the Silver Poet Aristocat jacket: http://totusmelswunderkammer.blogspot.com/2009/07/fantasy.html

I love lace and jackets that aren't made to copy men's boring styles;-)

http://totusmelswunderkammer.blogspot.com/2009/07/absinthe.html

the green armwarmer/glow here is graceful!!! i'd love to have one but i guess it's already sold:(.
and i have to say, i was searching for this kind of "dark fashion" blog but i found it when i stopped searching and started to troll through the blogs that i had already subscribed to. :) a funny encounter for me:)

monika said...

and i'm now following your blog!!! :D congrats, a good job you did!! :)

mermaiden said...

ok, i've been following the Wunderkammer since it started, and there are so many incredible things it was a terribly hard choice! i almost did the eeny-meeny-miney-mo thing. i decided on the May 28 post Chicken Legs. I like bird art, ,and was especially fond of the bird bones pendant!

Thieving Magpie said...

Oooh I love the shadow puppets from Isabellas Art in the ODD collection. I've added those to my etsy faves.

mew said...

I always look forward to your posts regarding lush clothing, rayguns, and steampunk. It's hard to pick a favorite but among them Decadent Designs (Mar. 31, 2009) stands out.
It led me to some fantastic clothing and also led me to adding your to my feed reader.

Unknown said...

Of course, like many, I love all the posts and it is hard to choose a favorite! But I really love the Teacup Travelers by WinonaCookie and the Antique Lace Headband by CutieDynamite and the Swanky Ostrich Feather Accessory by Liaison and the Zorita Burlesque Steampunk Bustle by lovechildboudoir and The Pirate Steampunk Jacket by blackmirrordesign (and I could go on and on....)..... Also love the cameo corset by Louise Black..I have one and it's one of the best things I own!!

I also did the extra stuff.. Now following Wunderkammer, tweeted over here (just add me to see it!), and made an entry on my LJ. :) Yippee skipee!

My favorite item so far was the Mister Bunner print here:

http://totusmelswunderkammer.blogspot.com/2009/05/bunnies.html

I was so in love with it, I posted it on my facebook. I was having a particularly down period, and a friend, having followed my link, decided to cheer me up by purchasing it in secret and mailing it to me for a surprise! It now sits over my fireplace. Thanks!

I subscribe to your blog using Thunderbird. viva technology! I don't need a prize, but hopefully that pushes you closer toward unlocking the last item!

My very favorite featured item is the Cyborg Seahorse pendant featured on April 29. As happens with all good things, it sold the day after you featured it. I bet that is no coincidence. :)

Love your blog.
