Eastsiders - remember back in February 2011 when the people of New Zealand humbled us with their support, kindness and love? Well, now it's time to pay that kindness forward.

TEA/COFFEE/COCOA: anything that will help here including sugar, UHT milk or powder, etc
NAPPIES: Any kind of nappies would be appreciated
SANITARY ITEMS: Ladies, the women up north are going to get a bit desperate, so pads, tampons, and the like will be gratefully appreciated. Also, HAND SANITISER if we can get it...we ALL know how important that stuff is!!!

Hi everyone


As you all know I am the artist on the corner of Mackenzie and Hopkins in gallery@109. I currently have a big show of 50 works titled 'Somme/Silk Road' on exhibition at the QEII National Army Museum in Waiouru. I have created a further suite of works using the same inspiration (the silk cards made during WW1 in France and Belgium) which I have titled 'We'll be home by Christmas'. I have turned two of those cards into printed Christmas cards (see images below) and am selling packs of 10 (5 of each, although I can make up packs of only one image should you like) of these from the studio and from Aum Dairy on Hopkins Street.


So for $15 (GST incl) a pack you get 10 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.


Cheers
