Find your new favourite artworks online

The Team from Resene ColorShop Levin

From 11am NZST on Thursday 30 April until Sunday 17 May, Artfair.co.nz will be hosting a Virtual Art Fair where you will discover more than 30 galleries from New Zealand and Australia displaying works that would have otherwise been seen at the 2020 Auckland Art Fair.

The Virtual Art Fair is in recognition of the artists who have already made special works for the Auckland Art Fair that couldn’t happen, and the galleries who have supported them in doing so.

“It comes at a time of global uncertainty, when the importance of art, community and culture are especially apparent,” their team said in a recent statement.

The Auckland Art Fair is designed to be “a celebration – as best we can – of the talent and diversity of art making by artists from our region; not only across New Zealand and Australia, but also around the wider Pacific-rim. We hope that, wherever possible, some of these artists and galleries will be supported by someone buying a work of art.”

Browse, look, enquire and consider as you get to know new galleries and artists in support of contemporary culture at a time when the artists and galleries really need it.

are you like me, retired & too much time on your hands,wracking your brain for constructive use of this precious commodity ?
well i can thoroughly recommend this excercise in scroogonomy
once you have emptied your teapot & about to dispose of your used teabags try this
squeeze out excess moisture & place teabag on the windowsill for a day to dry out
once this is done get an old baked bean tin or other small container & put in dried teabag & add about a teaspoon of kerosene ( available from your supermarket or hardware store)
leave overnite to soak, take out regenerated teabag & put in a suitable storage container with a waterproof lid,this is for safety & to eliminate the kerosene odour
I have been using this method for the last 3 winters

Paint a wooden chair

The Team from Resene ColorShop Levin

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

Take one plain wooden dining chair and make it a stand-alone statement piece with two Resene colours. You don’t always need a full set of dining chairs; they can be statement pieces all on their own!

You could use a chair like this in a home office, as a plant stand, or as a bedside table for your books and lamp. Painting one chair is an easy way to inject a bit of colour into a room too.

Make the most of this weekend with this easy step by step project idea from Resene.

Find out how to create your own.

Architect

Russell from Himatangi

Hello,

Looking for recommendations for a good reasonable residential Architect. We are looking at some additions to our place and need an Architect to manage the design and consent procedure.

We live at Himatangi Beach and would of course like this as soon as possible.

Sorry!

Paul from Levin

I apologise, but I really had no choice! I'm not allowed to leave my property so I was left with no alternative other than to photograph sparrows on my back lawn. Who would have thought.....?
