Note on Shipping:

Did you know that I only charge a flat rate for shipping for greeting cards, art prints and calendars regardless of how many you purchase?

You just pay for the biggest item in your cart and then you can add alllll the other cards, prints and calendars for no extra shipping!! I also don’t charge extra for Rural delivery (I got you country folk, I was raised in the wop wops 😊)

So, say you buy an A4 art print – within NZ shipping is $7.50 (this is what I get charged, no markup from me). Then you add a calendar, wait 2 calendars for both your sisters-in-law. Then 8 greeting cards and 3 more A4 art prints… you will still only pay $7.50 shipping.

I also have a free pickup option for my local peeps. Just select ‘Free Local Pickup’ from the shipping options in checkout and you won’t pay a thing for shipping. And let’s be honest, I usually hand deliver them if I am going past!

International folks

The shipping from NZ is really expensive for us (the downside of living on a beautiful island in the middle of nowhere). But same deal, you only pay one flat rate for the largest item. So, same price for 1 art print as it is for 10… or more! (I mean if you want to order 1500 art prints, I will be so frikken grateful for the order I am happy to shout you the extra shipping, even if you live in Antarctica!).

Packaging my items as beautifully and safely as I possibly can is one of my favorite things. I try to use as much recycled packaging as I can. However, I am not perfect, and am totally open to suggestions! I have an awesome record of items arriving perfectly. People always comment how beautiful their package was to open.

I even had an A3 print that went all the way to Italy and back (delivery address issue at the Italian end) and while the packaging was a little tatty, the art print inside was still perfect!!

Shipping Charges Discrepancy

Occasionally I have had an issue on third party sites overcharging the shipping. But I have worked out how to refund part of the shipping, so I just put that back through to the customer – even if it is only $2.80, I got you.

The other items on my website are not items I keep in stock in my office studio in Stoke, Nelson, NZ. They are printed on demand and shipped by my awesome collaboration partners from all over the world. I love print on demand, it means I can offer a huge range of high quality items with no wastage. Nothing is created until you order it, and then it is printed just for you. So the shipping rates are set by them and not something I have any control over.

Dairy Cows Art Print

The first importation of ‘Dutch-Friesian’ cattle into New Zealand was made by Canterbury breeder Mr John CH Grigg in 1884. Four years later the breed was introduced into the North Island via a herd established in the Wairarapa. Further importations of ‘Holstein-Friesian’ cattle were made from America in 1902/03.

The black and white cow quickly gained popularity in the North Island. But it wasn’t until 1910 that their breeding and importation was taken up seriously. Early endeavours by breeders to keep accurate pedigrees of these animals resulted in the New Zealand Holstein Friesian Association being established in 1910.

Holstein Friesian cows are farmed throughout New Zealand, in all areas, and under all types of dairy farming systems. They have proved themselves adaptable to a wide range of environmental conditions worldwide. This trait has created an export market for our New Zealand Holstein Friesian genetics, whether the Mycoplasma Bovis outbreak changes this remains to be seen.

Due to New Zealand’s temperate climate the average dairy cow in New Zealand is farmed outdoors. Grazing on ryegrass-clover pasture throughout most of the year, with some feed supplementation, such as PKE, when necessary. It will commonly be wintered on forage crops such as kale, fodder beet or swedes plus hay and silage.

The breed is also a major contributor to our red meat markets, both domestic and international. As a large number of surplus male offspring are farmed as Friesian bull beef.

The Friesian cow when crossed with a beef breed, Hereford for example. Produce offspring that are highly sought after by calf rearers and fatteners for being fast growing and placid natured.
