2022 wild birds of NZ calendars and kererū prints
Very exciting - the 2022 calendars and kererū prints are just back from the printers. I'll start getting them organised to ship out tomorrow. The printer said he used the same 270gsm fancy textured art card for the kererū prints that he uses for Weta Workshops art prints, so they are almost famous by association. There are only 20 and Caitlin will number and sign them.
Now for the exciting bit - the 10 winners, plucked from the calendar pre-orders, of the prints are Penny Williamson, Margaret Watt, Jana Sanders, Jim Norris, Tania Moir, Alice Christian, Margie Delaney, Sharon Major, Karen Ho, and Natasha Jelbert.
The remaining 10 prints are $50 each with the money going to help with the cost of Caitlin's study at VUW.
If anyone else that hasn't pre-ordered would like a calendar, I have 20 extra printed. First in first served, they are $28 each plus postage at cost or collect from Woburn, Lower Hutt. Email: louise@louisethomas.co.nz
Thank you so much to everyone for supporting my venture. I'll do it all again next year!
Begonia house to be demolished at botanic gardens
It's outrageous that the Wellington City Council are going to demolish the Begonia house at the Botanic gardens. This is an asset. One would have thought the green faction of the council would have supported fixing it. It's strange no one has questioned the price required to fix it. Cycle ways more important than begonia house i think not
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
