Hello, I am Natalie Doris and I began this web blog to bring you a collection of art, design and things to make and do . There is also  a small ‘other’ section where you will find postings on other stuff relating to perhaps literature, music or things of comedic value. I pretty much post about whatever interests me,  not being particularly fussed if it happens to be visiting the country where I live, which is Northern Ireland by the way. However, I do like to promote anything of specific arty interest relating to Norn Iron on here, because after my wanderings it is my home after all, and I think arty stuff needs to be pushed to the forefront a bit more. I am not one for accepting press releases for my blog, however as I write for arts & cultural publications I will link the blog up with artists I have discovered while researching an art & design story. Blogs provide the perfect opportunity to make us go back to our humanoid roots and go hunting!!! So yes, as a result I find myself dealing with the stuff that commercial magazines, tv and radio shows don’t feature as they are too busy spending their time dealing with faffeley press releases and what’s in!! I thoroughly believe inspiration is always ‘in’. So yes my motif I wear on my little school jumper says “I set my arts agenda & discover things for myself…ta very much.” All in Latin of course…
