Landscapes and Recycling

Current To Do List:

Working on some landscape images - they can be viewed here on Flickr and will be uploaded to the bAd galleries shortly...

Turning that huge pile of unworn clothes, fabrics and habedashery I've been hoarding over the years into new recycled items - pictures to follow shortly...

Planning work to enter into The Original Art Sale 2007 - it will be held at the TelstraClear Pacific Events Centre (Manukau) on Fri 31August - Sun 2 September and promises to be even bigger and better than last year...

Also working on images and flyer for Fair Trade event I'm organising for June called ArTea Party. The event is based around the NZ Fair Trade Fortnight (28 Apr - 13 May 07)/Oxfam Coffee Break but as it will involve art & craft too I'm holding off until June to give artists time to contribute and give me time to organise!

ArTea Aims:
To raise awareness of Fair Trade products and encourage people to buy Fair Trade wherever possible, thus enabling farmers and growers to earn a decent wage for the work they do.
To raise funds for Oxfam in support of their work to create positive change for poor communities around the world
To promote and sell work produced by local artists who care about the world they live in

If you are or know of an Auckland artist who may be interested in contributing to ArTea Party, drop me an email with details of the work you wish to donate for sale. 20% of the sale price of all art & craft work will be donated to Oxfam

More details of the ArTea Party to follow....
