New Year, New Us!
For 15 years, Foxy Fancies has been the small (and occasionally neglected) eclectic repository of all things created by Silver Kitsune, but over time, the name and branding has become less of a good fit.
Behind the scenes this branding change has been in the works since summer of 2025 and now on the first day of a shiny new year, it's time to officially launch the rebrand of Foxy Fancies as Pale Horse Fabrications.
The new name and logo was inspired by two things: an illustration by Frank C. Papé from "Figures of Earth" by James Branch (1925)(second slide), a print of which was gifted to me many years ago by my Gran. (A print which has also inspired work published under my pen-name.) And my love of chess, both as a game and aesthetically.
I've used the knight figure as a logo before, on the back of my stage persona's business cards that also bore the tagline "have thong - will travel" as a nod to one of my father's favorite Westerns. Bringing that motto and imagery back around to this soft relaunch felt so very right because while being home in my workroom is one of my happiest places, I can't deny how much I'm gone from it for performance as well.
PHF will continue to offer the same services and expertise that Foxy Fancies always has, but there are so many plans for expansion in the future that the old name simply couldn't contain it any longer! The Foxy Fancies Faux Feather Fans will remain in our inventory under that name as an homage to the little shop title that could.
Never satisfied with being static, it's time to saddle up and ride!
