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.

Gemini Rising

Edgy Jewelry
Definitely not subtle...not subtle at all. If I didn't know I would kill myself with that ankh ring, it would already be mine.

Striking

Art
Sometimes I just search and search and just pick what jumps out at me, theme be damned. This is one of those days and I think it was a good one.

Mardi Gras

Fancy Dress
Just another excuse to get dolled up. Go ahead and take it to Victorian extremes in purple, green and golds.

Bones

Whether its a naked bone or cast in silver or even just a creative interpretation, I do so love bones and jewelry.

There always seems to be more corsets to find. Whether you like classic Victorian or a little Steampunk, there are makers creating them all.

The Point

Spiked and Dangerous
Sharp, dramatic and unforgettable. These all make a pointed statement that is definitely darkly beautiful.

Octopus

She's Got Legs
Lots and lots of tentacled legs. I really don't why so many people are fascinated with the great eight legged cephalopod, but that sure make some compelling art with the inspiration. It also inspires some really epically bad art, but I'm not going to show you that.

Raven

Be The Crow
Now, if only I had an excuse to be a feathered raven because this ensemble would be unforgettable.
