This is from 2004, but it was too amazing not to post. I was googling “paper cutting” and came across this dress in the image search! It was part of the Chinese Paper-cutting Art Exposition in Wenzhou City, in east China’s Zhejiang Province.

Mum, where does fabric come from?
I just adore textiles. There are so many new textile designers emerging in Australia and it’s incredibly exciting for me because it’s something I have always wanted to get into. I read the blogs of Kristin Doran, Lara Cameron, Danielle Smeets and Bianca van Meeuwen and besides the longing I have to own some of…
In other news, there is no news
This strangely moves me… and by the way, how amazing is it that you can now post videos on Flickr? I found it on TwitBuzz, after rediscovering my own neglected Twitter account. Join me! It’s (reportedly) the cool thing to do. Maybe one day I’ll Twitter about something incredibly embarrassing and instantly regret ever signing…
My TED696 entry is up!
Go to tedcreated.com.au, click on the GALLERY page and scroll on down until you see my piece of fabulosity. Click on it and drag the slider to “I’m diggin it!” You can vote every day, so keep going back every day to vote on mine! I wish I could direct link, but it’s flash :(
A few moments from my wedding…
I went over to hang out with the fabulous Kate O’Brien today, to help her out on a shoot and to get me some wedding photos! The conditions were incredibly trying on the day, it was almost about to storm and the winds were pretty much gale force, so by the end of the photos…
The time I nearly lost my purse to Rackham
When I posted my entry about the beautiful Amelie’s Petite Maison, I mentioned the Eumundi Markets and the story that I had to tell about our visit on that particular trip. On our visits to the Sunshine Coast, we seem to have fallen in to the habit of checking out the markets and luckily for…
Stop. Request Time.
Now that I have more time I’d like to be able to focus on contributing more to the knowledge base available for Adobe Illustrator on the world wide interweb tubes. If you have a tutorial request, or a simple question, let me know so I can start planning a series of posts on de-mystifying this…
Draw your arm off on June 7
In case you hadn’t noticed, I love drawing. I take a pen and paper everywhere just so I can doodle – I doodled through school and university, meetings (like the above), tv shows, and lectures from my parents! I was excited to find out from Jo on RedBubble that there is an international drawing day…
Own some of my original artwork!
Paisley Hell – $300 504 x 609 mm When I put these paintings up at the cafe my friend works at a lot of people online were interested in them. Fortunately for you, they didn’t sell at the cafe (I suspect people didn’t know they were for sale because my artist’s cards were removed from…
Natalie Baird is Natalie Perkins
This post is mostly for SEO purposes, but will probably be helpful for my general readership as well. In case you haven’t caught up, I’m married now, and I’m going to assume my husband’s surname in the good old fashioned way. So please remember, Natalie Baird is Natalie Perkins! It’s quite weird having to transition…
