Aroha me Humarie Cushion
I printed this design on some nice lightweight hemp fabric we had lying aound the store. I thought black would be nice and after printing decided that a couple of cushions could be choice and here we have the result that i’m pretty happy with. I then started pondering whether i should do some more items like this and decided that yes i should. I had a think about branding – apparently i need to have a brand and one that stuck is Aroha&Friends. So there you have it, the humble beginnings of a little product range from Aroha&Friends. Sweet. Now i just have to come up with the rest of the collection.
Paxies Print
Here is a new print. This store has been around for a really long time, i think since the 50’s. It is probably the longest standing shop front in Napier. It’s now up for sale along with a bit of land next to it and soon will be bowled and replaced by some fancy new development.
Sleepy Hollow
Blue Bay Motor Camp was a landmark in Opoutama, Mahia. The developers and owners have since cut down all the trees and subdivided the land up for high end coastal development. the only problem with this is the locals burn it down.
check out the video after the jump.
EVERYTHING IS KAPAI
even when it’s not you can look at this and start whistling the tune and go to that kapai place.
