This stunning one-off sculptural embroidery is handmade in NZ and inspired by one of three moho pererū (banded rails) raised and rehabilitated by BirdCare Aotearoa.
The three banded rails were admitted to BirdCare Aotearoa as hatchlings. On arrival, they weighed only 10 grams. Two arrived in very unstable condition but with the dedicated care of the BirdCare Aotearoa team, they grew into strong, healthy birds and were released at a predator-controlled site this week.
This auction will raise money for a native species habitat which will help ensure the successful rehabilitation of banded rails, kōtare (sacred kingfisher) and other native species – giving them the best chance of release into the wild where they belong.
Please show your love for NZ wildlife and support BirdCare Aotearoa’s life-saving work by bidding generously. Not only will you be directly helping wildlife, you will also get the chance to have this beautiful and unique artwork in your own home.
Artwork details:
* One-off original, beautifully capturing the rail in his juvenile stage.
* Handmade in Cathy’s studio, the piece is made up of hundreds of tiny stitches, made on a sewing machine, and finished by hand embroidery.
* Professionally framed in a white frame with high grade glass (ultimate clarity, reduced reflection and 99% UV protection).
* Size: 22cm x 22cm x 4.5cm deep.
100% of the proceeds will go directly to BirdCare Aotearoa, supporting them to continue caring for banded rails and other wild birds.
Thank you so much to Cathy for creating this exquisite artwork and thank you in advance to all of you wonderful bidders!

More than two years after his disappearance, his parents Thierry and Catherine Rolland have finally arrived from France.
They do not know what happened to their son, and they’re desperate for answers.
“We don’t know what’s happened,” Catherine said. “We realise he is perhaps in another place.”
But the couple remain hopeful that Eloi is alive and well and said they would always be there for him.

Of course I can’t reply either, so the person sending it might even consider me very rude for simply ignoring her.

During winter, a bed is a sanctuary from the cold – and diseases that come with it. A bed for Ben, and tamariki like him, would mean a warm and good night's sleep so they can stay healthy and concentrate at school.
With your support, we aim to provide 1,100 children with beds and warm bedding. Donate today to provide beds and bedding for Kiwi kids.
