Lace Chain Link Fence
From the lace fence website: "Lace Fence is a design of Dutch design house Demakersvan. It is a high-end metal fabric that gives new insights into how you can create unique environments."
"It combines the ancient craft of lace making with the industrial chain link fence. Every fence is unique in its design by its craft and its assembled patterns, which come in a variety of themes, from floral to contemporary designs and custom art patterns."
"Lace Fence shows how something which was meant to be purely functional can also be decorative. Hostility versus kindness. Industry versus craft."

Hi Joe,
Thanks for calling in the big wigs and getting on it asap! Unfortunately it is not the post, I think the post was from before 2010. I`ve also been searching google etc... but haven`t found it. Here`s a bit more info: the guy would take fruit or other objects and make legs and arms and sometimes other accessories out of wire and attach them to the fruit creating little statues then he would pose them in settings & give it a funny tag line, I think one of them was a lemon sitting on a little chair all alone in a room, another was of cupcakes climbing into a pyrex measuring cup to get sprinkles on him, Oh and he did some with those peanut shaped candies and also did some using peanuts. I know he was going to come out with a calendar or book on his designs and that he was commissioned to do some work for oxo I think it was, have searched all these but have come up empty. I remember he also did a post where he only ate orange foods for the day. Now that I remembered that peanut figurine I`m going to look for that, but if you can help me find his site, I`d really appreciate it, it has been bugging me for months!
Thanks!
:)

As the Dutch said in the 17th century, "I'll take Manhattan."

And if anybody knows lace, it's the Dutch.
That and brutally colonizing Africa.

mikky, upon receipt of your email this morning I immediately directed my Crack Research Team®™© to drop everything in an effort to find the post you requested.
As evidence of our all hands on deck effort, I even called Gray Cat in from her peregrinations to assist in the search.
I am pleased to report that, after an hour of drilling down deep, the team appears to have succeeded:

If this is NOT the post you wanted, please advise and I will once again divert our entire krew to the task of giving you what you request.

Hi Joe,
Was wondering if you had a chance to ask your crack research team if they could find that post you did waayyyyy back when on the bendable figures. I've been searching thru your blog for it, but no luck. However, I do think you might have done the post in 2010! Trying to rack my brain to remember which photos you used. I thought it was one of a ketchup bottle and a mustard bottle with tiny little legs and arms attached. Ack it's bugging me to find this guys site again. Thanks for your help!
:)
