Cakes, puzzles, potions and ladies

20 August, 2010
By Natalie
A puzzle that looks to be of sky and mountains but explodes with the colour of lots of different flowers.

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...

tilt-5-001

Following the Lane Bryant kerfuffle lots of people bought fat shirts in solidarity! How totally awesome! Some lovely people have shown me photos of them and their fat stuff, which is really cool because it proves that people are embracing the f word! If you’ve been one of those radical people and want to...

Come look at what I’ve been doing…

12 August, 2010
By Natalie
Coloured pencil and ink illustration of two girls clutching at each other surrounded by detailed flowers and a hand lettered "Girl on girl hate" written above them.

Did I show you the poster I drew for the Leeloo Disband show? Well if so, here it is again, because Renee and Angela are taking the exhibition to Melbourne! My work will also be in this show, so if you’re local to Melbourne make a date to check it out. I posted a...

In a modern faery queen’s world

Detail of Deidre But-Husaim's Tiberius

When I came across this photo on Tumblr I loved it at once, probably because it reminds me a little of Kate’s work. Han Jin looks as though she were a faery queen, I love that pose. I might try to sketch it! See the rest of the Spring Breeze editorial from Vogue Korea....

August desktop, horah!

Hand drawn desktop design with green toned starburst, clouds, paisley and bunting with a banner saying "AUGUST".

Down this part of the globe it’s been the 1st of August for a whole day and I hope you won’t hold my tardiness against me. Maybe you’re only just starting the month in your part of the world? Then I hope I’m posting this in time! I quite like august as a word...

Vintage Garage Exhibition

Vintage Garage Exhibition

A few weeks ago my work was in an exhibition as part of the launch of Vintage Garage, a Melbourne store selling rare and unique and nostalgic things. It’s a bit strange having work appear in interstate shows but it’s also very exciting! I’m also really happy that the shows I’ve been doing lately...

Friday Fance: A jumbled assortment

16 July, 2010
By Natalie
Black hand lettered text saying "Friday fance".

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...

A new sketchbook for me

The other week I took some time to draw for myself, an unusual occurrence in the last six months – something I’ve desperately missed. I don’t know if any of these drawings are finished just yet, but I’ll be sure to put them up in my store when they are. (Yes, store! You can...

Friday Fance: Resourcefulness Boom

Friday Fance: Resourcefulness Boom

Pip at Meet Me at Mikes posted some of Lo Bjurulf’s interior styling work and I was in love. I’m a fan of mismatched, childish, chaotic things and I think being invited to this dinner party would be a lot of fun. Sometimes we are so taken with what we ought to buy and...
