Etsy, jewelry, Pinkabsinthe, steampunk

Meet Pinkabsinthe and her amazing steampunk, gotchic jewelry, clothing, and textile work. A Russian artist currently living in Poland, her clothing and jewelry features an astonishing attention to detail, color, and intricacy of form.

I love all of these collars.

She also makes fantastically detailed watch-cuffs, and complete sets of jewelry.

YOU GUYS IT’S A SKULL CAMEO EYE PATCH DO YOU UNDERSTAND.

It appears that not all of the gorgeous pieces on her deviantArt are available for purchase, so it if you find something you like, it might be worth shooting her a message on her Etsy page (she specifically requests that you use Etsy conversation for any questions or enquiries). Here’s her deviantArt website and her Etsy site.

Yeah, so I want all of this.

Enticing Etsy Shops: Ms. Purdy’s Hats

Etsy, hats

I stumbled across an Etsy shop the other day that I wanted to share.  The shop is called “Ms. Purdy’s Hats.”  Ms. Purdy has a lovely collection of attention-getting Victorian-style hats, from the broad-brimmed types you might see on Audrey Hepburn in “My Fair Lady” to the cheeky mini-top hats popular among Steampunks.  They’re all gorgeous, but here are a few of my favorites.

Thankfully I do live in a state where I could potentially find a horse-race-centric use for a spectacular hat like this.

I love the color of this one.

This is a great “Rachel McAdams as Irene Adler” hat.

This photo doesn’t do justice to this hat – the other views better show the variation of color in the feathers and other details.

Perfect for tea parties or Downton Abbey dress up!

(Sigh) Have we discussed how much I wish people still wore hats?  I think we have.  Anyway, check out Ms. Purdy!

Last one!  Can’t help it…so beautiful…!

There are so many amazing and beautiful works of art and craft on Etsy that I could spend hours just browsing, but every once in a while I come across a particular artisan that I just have to share with everyone I can.  Today, I am bringing you one of those shops, Jezebel Charms.

This shop has creative and unique “literary jewelry.”  Her earrings, necklaces, and cuff bracelets feature quotes from great works of literature by some of the Vicky A’s favorite authors.

Like Edgar Allan Poe,

Jane Austen,

One of my faves, Jules Verne,

Plus one of Heather’s faves, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

But possibly my favorite item is this one because it is true:

This is the perfect shop for the literary nerd, the Victorian nerd, or the Victorian literary nerd, so go check it out!
