Friday Fance: House of Fance
I’ve been watching a lot of Grand Designs lately, and one episode in particular caught my imagination. A couple bought a disused water works building and pretty much converted the entire building themselves into a home with a huge living area, while maintaining the integrity of the materials used in the original building. You can…
Friday Fance: cats, mangos and whimsy
⇒ I wonder what makes cats so fancy? I’m not a cat person myself, but I can’t deny Caitlin Shearer’s Leaning Tower of Cats has far too much whimsy for it’s own good! Caitlin will also be participating in Once Upon – her fairy tale is Cinderella. ⇒ There is nothing better than mango. NOTHING!…
Friday Fance: Late Edition
I wasn’t sure I’d get the Fance up today because I had a bunch of stuff to do, coupled with some stuff I forgot I had to do. I’m not one of those organised bloggers who has posts queued up for weeks… noooooo. This is genuine off-the-cuff blogging magic, right here. I took my carrot…
Friday Fance: Random Fance
⇒ If you move in the typographic circles online, no doubt you’ll have gotten wind of this already but I wanted to show you Jessica Hische‘s project called Daily Drop Cap. She’s an incredible letterer(erererer)! F stands for “Fancy”, indubitably. ⇒ If you like photobooths and fetishising French quaintness, you will probably lose your shizz…
Friday Fance: People of Fance
I’m not a huge celebrity watcher, and I don’t require gossip in order to get on with my day but there are a few celebrities I love to look at because they pretty much typify “The Fance” for me. The following People of Fance have been nominated by me and some of my Twitter followers…
Fanciful Friday: Friday Fance
In my head I’ve been calling these posts “Friday Fance”, and in fact I’ve been using “fance” as a word a whole bunch more lately. I hope my readers know what I’m talking about when I bust out the fance. Someone call Oxford, we have a new word! Today I want to talk to you…
Fanciful Friday: Random fance time
⇒ I am obsessed with the illustrations of Ernst Haeckel! ⇒ Early Vogue cover illustrations are so fancy, so wonderful! Check out a whole heap here. ⇒ The hair styling for this I-D shoot, by Paolo Roversi, is gorgeous. See more here at foto_decadent. ⇒ This ornamental typeface called Cadence is inspiring. It makes me…
Fanciful Friday: Random fancy
⇒ My friend Pete posted this video on twitter yesterday, it’s just gorgeous! ⇒ I said it on tumblr, and I’ll say it here: So fancy it makes my eyes water. Via Design*Sponge. ⇒ Lady Agnew by John Singer Sargent. I saw a few of Sargent’s paintings last Friday night, in the flesh! ⇒ Now…
Fanciful Friday: What I wore today edition
Gemma Correll started the “What I Wore Today” flickr group for people who love drawing and don’t really like posting photos of themselves to the internet. I think it’s such an awesome idea, even though you know I’m not shy about posting photos of myself!! Today’s Fanciful Friday is all about illustration, and how people…
