The aim is to create a collage work in the last weeks, using a mix of hand painted and printed papers along with magazine cut-outs. The subject matter will be the written form. Great patterns can be generated from playing around with text so that it’s unreadable and that’s called asemic art. I’ll be teaching a range of art making techniques – trace monoprinting, Gelli-plate printing, stencilling and calligraphic mark making among others. Materials for you to use include GOLDEN’s OPEN Acrylics and High Flow, Yupo , Zeta and tissue paper, a range of inks, calligraphy pens, quills and a wide range of drawing materials. The group size will be limited to 6 people. No previous art experience is necessary! I have two places left – Who’s having them? Details on my website. www.stokes.net.nz...

God Save The Queen

It certainly seems that Elizabeth The 2nd, Queen of Great Britain & Northern Ireland and NZ among others, is ailing at a rather rapidly increasing pace.
Many people in the UK and NZ are hoping for her modernistic and capable grandson William to immediately be transformed to next in succession and take over the role occupied by the Queen. But it looks obvious Charles and Camilla will become King and Queen any day now.

NZ is already a country with both sides of its political aisle looking to dispense with royalty as the head of state and proclaim a republic with an elected president mirrowing to a great extent what a British King or Queen embodies in NZ.

And so the dour, slightly off key and tainted (re Diana) Charles with his unglamorous wife would hasten both NZ (and Australia) becoming republics within the Commonwealth of Nations, do the John Key-thing and fashion a new NZ-own flag and also most likely offically recognise Aotearoa as NZ's number one nation-recognised title.

For me, whoever has at least one Pembroke Corgi they call their own at either Buckingham Palace or Government House gets my support.

Who knew ducks could be so interesting? Once again thanks Louise Thomas for the picture and words.
"Last summer we had a mallard couple that regularly visited us. They would waddle up the drive way, the female in the lead, and come around the back to the kitchen door to see if we had any rice or other tasty bits. I often wonder what happened to them, and how they negotiated the roads, and wondered how word got around in the first place that we might be the local soup kitchen. I was going to get a paddling pool for them, but they didn't turn up this summer. Mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) male at Days Bay duck pond. Bird #68 in 2022.."
