If you think this is awesome, wait until you see the title of Debra Baxter‘s sculptural jewellery: “Crystal Brass Knuckles (I am going to realign your chakras motherf*****)”. I’m pretty sure this epitomises the foul mouthed beauty of “fance” and if I could get my hands on (and around) this knuckle duster I would die…
I love Tumblr for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it introduces me to artists I haven’t come across before. This photograph is the work of Annelise Kretschmer, a German portrait photographer. I love it for the fancy neckpiece/ dress and the expression of the subject because most of us smile for a photograph,…
I’ve seen images like this around for the past few days but it wasn’t until I visited Kent Rogowski‘s site that I understood that he’d actually made a series of combining different jigsaw puzzles. Apparently you can mix different puzzles within the same brand together because they’re cut using the same die… the more I…

Tassels. I’m totally thinking about tassels lately. Flett Bertram’s tassel dresses (seen on Style Bubble) remind me of my Nana’s house and how she’d have these tassels hanging from the old keys stuck in the doors of her display cabinets. I actually have one of those display cabinets now, and a long tassel dangles from…
Rachel O’Neill‘s velcro pieces are so playful and give me lots of ideas for DIY projects! She creates beautiful pieces on commission for events, but I’d want a large light fitting like this for keeps. This photo is from decor8, and it’s supposed to be about the wallpaper by Turner Pocock BUT it’s really all…
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…
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…
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,…
Nick never understands how I can call shoes pretty. He thinks that they are functional objects that are designed to act as a barrier between your feet and the earth, objects that should be comfortable but rarely ever are. I think shoes can be pretty. They can also be magnificent, ridiculous, fantastic, even drab… but…
