⇒ 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…
Made you look
A couple of weeks ago I was notified that I’d been picked by Pilgrim and Stefan Sagmeister as a finalist in the “Happy” design contest on Red Bubble. I was pretty stoked (read: squealing) to be hand picked out of all the entries, because Mr Sagmeister’s approach towards graphic design is one I am very…
What makes you happy?
What makes you happy? – shot on 5DMKII from Jon Rawlinson on Vimeo. @thedesignfiles posted a link to one of Jon Rawlinson’s short films, Kuroshio Sea (which is also awesome, check it out) and being the curious cat that I am I clicked onto the next video which posed the question, “What makes you happy?”…
Sweets for my sweets
Today was a busy day! This morning I had breakfast to celebrate my uncle’s birthday and this afternoon we had an epic dessert picnic for dear Kathleen’s birthday tomorrow. We all brought something, so there was too much food. Too much delicious, lovingly made food! Cupcakes, slices, brownies, biscuits and cakes – I’d never seen…
This little piggy went to market
I was in a shocking mood this morning but we went to the markets and bought loads of beautiful fruit and veges (and flowers!) so now I’m feeling a lot better. Included in our market booty: pomegranates to make pommie cupcakes, and besan flour to make delicious vegetable kofta balls. I took some photos of…
Once Upon a Time
I don’t mean to brag, but I’m so happy to be part of the Once Upon show! Thanks to the combined efforts of Renee and Angela, the show pulls together 38 of Australia’s most amazing emerging artists and themes of fairy tales and folk law (one of my areas of interest!) Once Upon is opening…
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…
Show us your doodle. Your lunchdoodle!
Some smart, funny and good looking people (who will no doubt quibble over how I’ve linked them!) came up with the idea of lunch doodles over Twitter, and they’d been showing each other the funny drawings they’d done while eating lunch (or working, but don’t tell their bosses that!) I thought it was such a…
It’s all about meme
I’m not sure I’ve ever done a survey meme here before, but I’m in the mood for some light, brainless content after sourcing all those florals over the last few days! This one word survey is from Pip, who got it from Hazelnuts, who got it from PetalPlum, who got it from Bits of Sunshine,…
Summer florals
Left to right: City Chic Miami floral dress, Dream Diva floral sundress, City Chic rose garden dress. I’m pretty excited about summer florals and can’t wait to get my hands on some, but alas there isn’t much in the budget right now for pretty frocks. Allow me to share some of my favourite things with…
