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: 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,…
Friday Fance: Ye Olde Fance
So you dyed your hair purple in the 90s to piss off your parents? You weren’t the first one. This hairstyle won first prize at the Hairdressing Fashion Exhibition in London 1935! This is the candy cupboard that belongs to Such Pretty Things. I think my diabetes got diabetes! But still, it’s a joy to…
Friday Fance: Butterflies & absinthe
This photograph of Edwardian actress Phyllis Monkman is breathtakingly beautiful. I wish I had a costume like that to muck around in! I’m not a huge ice cream fan, but I adore how this has been displayed. The flavours include: black sesame, lanvender, melon, sweet adzuki bean, green tea and miso. Photo by M Harrison.…
Friday Fance: A pastel mood
This collection of photos is all pale and pastelly by coincidence because I’m not normally drawn to lighter hues. I am very much enjoying all these things right now though! This is but a sampling of Julie Moon’s lovely sculptural pieces, you really ought to go check her portfolio out! There’s so much stuff I…
Friday Fance: The Colour of Your Fance
I came across The Colour thanks to Mishy, and spent a good 45 minutes browsing through the collection of fantastic Australian creative talent. I thought I’d do an art/ illustration/ design curation of fance based on talent I found through The Colour. Laura La Rayna, a performer particularly noted for her aerial ring prowess. Laura…
Friday Fance: Guest Fance by Memily
Hello! It’s my second last day in Melbourne and I’m actually writing this from the past. I hope Future Natalie is having an excellent time! Today’s Fance has been curated by my fantastic friend Memily, who has exceptional taste and is a fellow practitioner of the fance. This mer-lady in was sourced from Abigail’s treasures.…
Friday Fance: Leveling up your fance
When case-making caddisflies are in their larval stage they gather material around them to build a protective housing. Hubert Duprat wondered if he could control the materials surrounding caddisflies so he could turn them into little jewelers, and it worked! These cases are made from gold flakes, semi-precious and precious stones as well as the…
Friday Fance: We Can Fance
The Queensland State Library has a flickr account that they constantly update with more and more vintage photographs of life in Queensland. I am fascinated by it, and loved this particular photograph. A commenter pointed out that the photo was entirely staged as none of the fruit are mature enough to pick and the woman…
