Natalie Perkins

It’s about a lady who is fancy who makes a lot of different things.

A few years ago I was drawing and designing acrylic jewellery and decided to open up my online shop, fancyladyindustries.com. I’ve been making a huge variety of things over the last 5 years, and they may seem quite random but those efforts of my industry all come from the one place – my weirdo brain.

Here you’ll find some of those designs, as well as others that work better on t-shirts and other stuff.

I’m all about living life creatively and with passion. My illustrations deal with self image and my body, and pretty much my whole creative practice has a grounding in feminism. When I studied art at university I was very interested in reclaiming “women’s crafts” and as I head towards my 40s I’m quite proud that I have accumulated a number of craft skills. I spin yarn, crochet and knit, paint, draw, design, make jewellery, sew, draft patterns, and sing and play ukulele at a fairly average level.
