Friday Fance: For rainy days

In my late night internet traversings I came across Miss Platnum, a Romanian-German singer who combines hip hop, R&B and folk music. She is beyond stunning, right? This is part of a installation work by Finnish artist Johnna Pohjalainen. When I first saw this picture I did a double take because the scale confused me…

Friday Fance: By the seat of my fance

The Design Files posted photos of Scott Weston‘s gorgeous home and work. The colours are stunning and there’s even a wallpaper by Florence Broadhurst, be still my beating heart. Beautiful sketches by Frank Frazetta, who passed away recently. If I had to write anything about these drawings I would probably die blushing, so I will…

Friday Fance: Dripping with Fance

Love these beaded rosettes! I am pretty inspired to see if I can make myself something similar. Lots of something similar, and cover myself in them! This is from a photoshoot done for Numéro #112, and found via Amy Uhrich‘s blog. I love Elsa Mora, and her work. I don’t know if I’ve adequately expressed…

Friday Fance: Fancify

I’ve seen quite a few triangular shaped rings recently, but this is the most fancy. The turquoise enamel (I’m assuming it’s enamel!) on brass is perfect! The only concerning feature is that flag… knowing me, I would take my own eye out with it. This is strictly for an afternoon of lounging about with friends…

Friday Fance: Prodigal Fance

I don’t think anyone noticed the gaping hole left by the Fance this past two Fridays, but I’m bringing it back. Just for you, my adoring readership who didn’t really miss it at all. Who am I kidding? I just like collecting images of fancy stuff. It’s all for me! This gorgeous photo is an…

Friday Fance: In the schmick of time

I’m curious to know if “schmick” is a word that lots of people use, or if it’s just common to Brisbane. I call things that are fancy and awesome and good looking “schmick” and all my friends and family get it and use it too. Sometimes I call Nick “Schmick” because well, he is. Recently,…

3D rendering by Cristina

The other week Cristina asked me if she could include some of my artwork in her interior design 3D Studio Max class work and she has posted the result on her blog today. Such fantastic renders! I used to work for an architectural firm and found 3D rendering intriguing. I loved seeing how she incorporated…

Friday fance: fance of the now

Trilogy was listed as one of i love typography’s favourite fonts of 2009, and with 103 variants it has incredible flexibility. This sample demonstrates some of that fancy flexibility! Shannon Fricke is one of my favourite stylists. I love the way she uses colour and pattern! This cute cardboard bedroom suite was posted on Tumblr,…
