DIY with a touch of Marmite
I loved chatting with Timaru craftsman Duncan Cottle about his beautiful work on this ceiling rose. He sculpted, molded and cast the whole thing by hand, with just trial and error to guide him. How cool is that? I found it so inspiring. Chatting to him made me want to give it a go myself. I reckon I might start with something a little simpler first, however. Those Acanthus leaves look so good... but also quite difficult! Maybe an art deco rose, to match my 30s house? Anyway, I'd love to hear from anyone else whose created something lovely for their homes from scratch. Drop me a line and let me know what DIY magic you've been up to!
Dumped Fridge
Hi, does anyone know who dumped a large fridge at the top entrance to Irvine Street lane, on Rarora Road? if you do, can you please remind them there are a couple of ways to move free stuff on, through 'Free Wellington' or the tip 'recycling center'. It is not ok to just leave stuff on the side of the road for your neighbors to end up having to deal with. I suspect it is no longer in working order as it has been left uncovered out in the rain. It is also quite lazy to just dump stuff without returning to check if it has been picked up/removed thereby leaving it to others to get rid of whatever it is you don't want or can't be bothered paying for removal of. If it was you who left it, do please come back and remove it.
