ORIGINAL ART: 2 FRAMED ARTWORKS FROM NZ POSTAGE STAMPS


At 76 years old we have down sized and I no longer have a “stamp hobby room”, so I have these 2 framed ORIGINAL ART PICTURES.

1) SCREENPRINT ON EMBOSSED PAPER BY W. GRIFFIN (not sure of name)
Framed in 3D matt
Embossed paper to replicate the stamp perforations
Replica of 1898 Pictorial stamp “Kaka & Kea”
Photo of original stamp and framed screenprint 8.5 x 10.5 inches
Stamp: 1898 Single 1s 'Kea and Kaka' gummed stamp.

Kea (Nestor notabilis), on the left, is a parrot about 46 cm long with olive-green feathers and scarlet under wings. It is a bird of great personality, raucous and inquisitive. Kaka (Nestor meridionalis), on the right, is a parrot about 45 cm long, often heard before being seen - its loud, harsh call travelling some distance. Its appearance is striking - bright red-orange neck, abdomen and rump, olive-green above, with scarlet under wings which can be seen when the bird is in flight.



Also:

2) Framed 1935 Pictorial of Tui printed on fabric with hand painted bird – 9 x 11 inches
Stamp: 1935 Single 1s 'Tui' gummed stamp.

A number of New Zealand birds are songless, but the beautiful tui is a notable exception. It is an inimitable songster, a remarkable mimic, and it can be taught to talk. Between 30 and 38 centimetres in length, the tui has two tufts of white feathers at its throat, a collar of long white curved feathers on the back of its neck, and a touch of white on the angle of its wings. Its body is in two shades of brown, and its wings and neck feathers are iridescent, gleaming green or blue according to the play of light on the feathers.

All in good condition, all soft-back
The Celestine Prophecy
1993
In the rain forests of Peru, an ancient manuscript has been discovered. Within its pages are 9 key insights into life itself -- insights each human being is predicted to grasp sequentially; one insight, then another, as we move toward a completely spiritual culture on Earth. Drawing on ancient wisdom, it tells you how to make connections among the events happening in your life right now and lets you see what is going to happen to you in the years to come. The story it tells is a gripping one of adventure and discovery, but it is also a guidebook that has the power to crystallize your perceptions of why you are where you are in life and to direct your steps with a new energy and optimisim as you head into tomorrow.
Tenth Insight, The Holding the Vision
1997
The insights found in The Celestine Prophecy and The Tenth Insight have touched the lives of many millons of people; they are not theoretical. When we become aware of how they work, coincidences and serendipitous encounters increase for us. As our level of consciousness expands, our vision of the world is transformed, and we get a glimpse into the heart of creation. And as we learn how thought and visualization precede reality, we can begin to harness them to benefit our own future and the future of the earth. The perfect companion volume for The Tenth Insight, this hands-on guide was written to help individuals and groups implement the ideas found in that book. It provides detailed explanations and exercises on Tenth Insight topics: previous lifetimes, soul groups, birth visions, the use of dreams and prayers, the afterlife, and the World Vision. It helps us experience firsthand how our own lives fit into the eternal cycles...teaches us how to discover our own personal missions...and reveals how we can call take part in the ultimately joyful world changes described in The Tenth Insight.
The Secret Of Shambhala: In Search of the Eleventh Insight
2000
Relates a spiritual odyssey across the Himalayas to the legendary Tibetan paradise of Shambhala, where humans are already living out their destiny.
Author James Redfield takes readers to the mountains of Tibet in search of the mythical place called Shambhala, otherwise known as Shangri-La. Like his previous bestselling books, Redfield holds the tension between an adventure travel story (in this book, armed Chinese soldiers doggedly pursue him) and divine encounters. Rather than preach his spiritual beliefs, Redfield likes to portray himself as a naive pilgrim, receiving wisdom and insights from the various guides and teachers he meets on his metaphysical journeys.

The Celestine Prophecy: An Experiential Guide
1995

A companion to the bestseller “The Celestine Prophecy”. This companion handbook to that inspiring work helps you intensify and expand the exciting knowledge contained in each of the nine insights of The Celestine Prophecy. Through detailed explanations and carefully designed exercises, you can uncover further revelations about your family and partners, and the ways your past has been a preparation for the special contribution you can make to the world today.

Brand new Asus Rog Laptop.
With an absolutely beautiful outlier of RGB lighting (fades to another color every second).
There are absolutely no defects, no damages and no performance and cosmetic issues.

Laptop comes with the following specs:
- 16 GB Ram.
- 512GB PCIE SSD.
- Intel core i7 9th gen.
- Nvidia 1650 GPU (Graphics Card).
- Bluetooth.
- audio jack with 3 USB slots as well as an ethernet jack and hdmi port.

The charger is in brand new mint condition as well.

(EXTRA NOTE THIS LAPTOP DOES NOT HAVE A WEBCAM).

Has three primary modes:
#1. Silent
#2. Performance
#3. Turbo

Silent mode is quiet and should be used as the main mode, you can still play intensive games on this mode but not at high graphic settings.

Performance mofe is what it says and is the gamer mode when you want to play games at its optimal or high settings, you can hear the fan speed run quite moderately on this mode.

Turbo mode is where everything runs full blast, I've never used this but this is probably used in short bursts where you need a very powerful machine to complete a task for a few minutes.

The fan noise can be irritating but it isn't as bad as I thought it was.

The air ventilation on this machine is superb 👌
However I must also point out that both the mic and audio sucks, its okay and its very audible but for a gaming rig I expected better.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to message me :)
