When Alex Louisa let me know that my Lovely postcard was used in this month’s issue of Home Beautiful magazine I was pretty surprised. I’m glad the stylist liked it enough to include it (though it’d be cool if it was attributed, just saying!) This is what I do on Friday nights. I’m not a…
All posts by Natalie
If you want me I’m painting bows on my nails out in the treehouse.
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,…
New art for sale in my shop
I’ve had some time to look at the state of my desk, my studio… my whole art practice this week and found some bits and pieces I made months and months ago! The above pieces are experimental and involve lots of tiny bits of paper laboriously pasted on bigger bits of paper and I’m not…
A few pretty things
The poster I designed for Charlie Mayfair‘s film clip tour. The latest issue of Peppermint magazine with my lettering (and a BUNNY!) on the cover. Other things in my display cabinet… Some iPhone photos
Easy House Vegetarian Restaurant: A+ will eat again
I grew up on Brisbane’s southside eating a lot of Chinese cuisine, but since going vegetarian I haven’t eaten much of it because many of the meals are centred around meat. When Nick told me we were going to the Gold Coast for vegetarian Chinese I was terribly excited because Brisbane has a real lack…
Cognitive dissonance is a helluva bitch
I need to write this. Not for my regular supportive and wonderful readers, but for people who probably won’t even read my blog. That’s ok. I just need to write this and put it somewhere public. [Warning: There is an animated gif a few paragraphs down.] This past few weeks I’ve talked to quite a…
Outfit of the hens night
My sister’s hens night was last night and this is what I wore. The hibiscus was left behind… I only plucked it off a bush for photo taking purposes. I’m thinking about chopping this dress up and making it into a high-waisted skirt. It’s rarely worn because I just don’t do strapless dresses, and the…
B.Ditto, crumpets and other endearing things
Beth Ditto, the woman responsible for this morning’s excitement, can not be excluded from the Fance this week. We love you B.Ditto, thank you for designing a collection of clothes that is fun and makes us feel good. I particularly wanted to post this photo because of the fantastic dress – you can probably DIY…
I’m officially on #dittowatch
The Beth Ditto A/W collection hits Evans in a few hours and a bunch of us are chatting about it on twitter under the #dittowatch hashtag. If you’re killing time while waiting for it to be released, come join us! I think it speaks volumes about the scarcity of plus size fashion when a collection…
Reflections on and photos from the Fat Studies conference
As I mentioned in my last post, the Fat Studies conference was incredible. I’m not sure where to begin telling you about the people I met, the talks I heard and the discussions I had but I figured I may as well do a round up of sorts of all the talks I went to.…
