Its a festival of native Upper Hutt birds on Main Street in time for the first day of summer and today's Santa Parade! I absolutely loved designing these flags.
Upper Hutt is surrounded by scenic hills, with Te Awakairangi flowing from the mountains down through our valley, and we are blessed with our native wildlife.
Printing of these Flagtrax flags was by Steve from the amazing Digital Decor in Upper Hutt (https://www.digitaldecor.co.nz/) who specialise in all kinds of fabric printing. I am already excitedly planning to print some of my calligraphy projects onto fabric in 2020.

So happy to have been a part of this amazing Upper Hutt Council project! Roy from Print Big on Main Street has done a terrific job printing and installing these!

If you are keen on butterflies, check out this great fundraising event for the Moths and Butterflies of New Zealand Trust!

The first set of postcards are now available! These are contemporary designs showing the pepe and pūrerehu (butterflies and moths) of the Wellington region. They come as a pack of eight, containing one of each of the eight different designs. Available on my online felt store at https://felt.co.nz/listing/380053/Butterflies-Notecards

Here is the new Butterflies of Wellington print, available at https://felt.co.nz/shop/urbanowl. So many beautiful pepe and pēpepe to keep an eye out for in the capital city and the surrounding hills. Maybe take a trip to your local garden centre to get some plants for your new butterfly garden ;) Wouldn't it be great to see more of these flying around in our parks and backyards?
