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.

Photos

Out of Time
Gotta love a little alternative history on film. Okay, maybe not on actual film.

Cold Shoulders

Cover Up 
Every once in a while I like to pretend that I live in the opposite hemisphere where the weather is cooling instead of heating. Then I'd be covering up with lovely caplets instead of shedding layers.

Gothic

Victorian 
Black and white and perfectly gothic all over.

Rabbits

And Bunny Girls
It's Spring so naturally it's rabbit time. Luckily there are plenty of steampunk and Victorian rabbit pieces to chose from.

Lovely outfits and hats to go with them.

Paper Cut

And Silhouettes 
I've tried this art form myself and the patience as I have for thread does not extend to paper. Such beautiful intricacies.

Rodent

Clockwork Rats and Mice 
I'm not really certain why I got on the steamrat train today, but I'm kind of glad I did.

Damask Skull

Darkly Beautiful
This one was inspired by the glukkake print I saw tweeted yesterday. I really had to search to find creative takes on the theme, weeding out a really neat commercial fabric and a common embroidery pattern. Those are nice too by the way, just not Wunderkammer nice.

Heliotrope

Pretty, Pretty, Shiny, Shiny 
As you might be aware I like purple and I adore the color changing of heliotrope glass and crystal.

Oh, Man

Portrait of a Gentleman or a Rogue
I ran across a couple of these when doing yesterday's post. I thought we needed some nice looking fellows around here.

Your Best Foot

Forward...Or Backward Maybe
I don't *love* shoes, but I do like them enough to want more fancy ones.

Bags

Of Holding
It doesn't even matter what you pt in them, you are automatically more awesome with an unforgettable bag.

Mardi Gras

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

Stripes

And Bustles
Black and white with just a bit of brown, stripey goodness all around.

Corset

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

Silhouette

In Shadows
When everything is in silhouette you can only imagine if what you think you see is what is there.
