Friday Fance: The Fancening.

⇒ Charlotte Gainsbourg in Vogue Paris – so lovely!

⇒ Rebecca Wetzler‘s illustrations for Bloom combine ink and watercolour, two of my favourite things!

⇒ Bugs and Fishes makes some really adorable felt objects, and she often writes up tutorials on how to make things like these lavendar teabags. Cute!

⇒ I would love to have a cut paper installation like this in my home, amazing. It’s by Swoon, a NYC street artist.

⇒ I don’t have much information on this, other than that it was the slide shown before the “Late Friday Movie” on West Australian television in the 1960s. Fabulous.

May 2009 desktop – it’s getting chilly!

I’m not sure where you’re from in the world, but May is generally one of those in-between months and you can never really predict what the weather is going to be like. Fortunately right now in Brisbane there’s a cool nip in the air that takes the edge off the strong sunlight. I have a bunch of felt that I bought for random purposes, and this month I thought it would be nice if I played with it a little bit in Photoshop! The lettering for May was inspired by the marigolds in the gardens of the homes of my childhood. They are such bright and welcoming flowers and make me feel warm looking at them.

I’m proud to offer the following desktops, including wallpapers for a couple of phone resolutions too since that went down well last month! Follow the links to flickr and download the resolution that’s perfect for you.
