ANNA CRICHTON'S $15 ONLY!!! PRINTS FOR SALE AT OPEN STUDIOS

Anna from Titirangi

MY WAITAKERE OPEN STUDIO IS THIS WEEKEND! 10 am – 4 pm Saturday and Sunday, 18 & 19th November. I’ll have loads of (satirical) illustrated ceramics for sale. There will be a HUGE choice of $15 ONLY!!!!! archival A3 CARTOON AND ILLUSTRATION PRINTS FOR SALE (see attached for just a few of fifty images available - and they are all titled and signed), and there’s finely crafted framed embroideries for sale too – and wood block prints, that were created in collaboration with Indian craftspeople during the time of my artist residency in Varanasi.
Climb up into the studio, see how and where I work and my illustrations and cartoons in the actual newspapers and magazines.
Katie Smith and Lesley Jenkin are joining me with Katie’s stunning screen-printed linens and Lesley’s very clever chunky curious jewellery.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️

The Team from SPCA New Zealand

It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:

👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️

Worst Xmas ever?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.

Whether you burnt the dinner or were stranded at an airport...
