Unique Christmas cards from local artist
Hi everyone
As you all know I am the artist on the corner of Mackenzie and Hopkins in gallery@109. Last year, and part of this I had a big show of 50 works titled 'Somme/Silk Road' on exhibition at the QEII National Army Museum in Waiouru. I then created a further suite of works using the same inspiration (the silk cards made during WW1 in France and Belgium) which I titled 'We'll be home by Christmas'. I turned two of those cards into printed Christmas cards (see images below) which I sold last Christmas and am again selling packs of 12 (6 of each, although I can make up packs of only one image should you like) of these from the studio and also from Aum Dairy on Hopkins Street.
So for $15 (GST incl) a pack you get 12 unique Christmas cards and envelopes. All in time for your Christmas mail out.
Created here in Woolston/Roimata, please support your community and your local artist.
You can email me through here or txt me on 027 2748158 to reserve some for later pick up.
I am open most weekends from 2-4pm and have a new hang of works leading up to Christmas, so call in and have a look at what's being created locally. I also have a 10% down and nine months to pay system in place.
Cheers
David Woodings

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
