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!)

I package my items as beautifully and safely as I possibly can and use as much recycled packaging as I can – I am not perfect, and am totally open to suggestions! I have an awesome record of items arriving perfectly and 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!!

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.

 

NZ Native Flowers Art Print:

Mount Cook buttercup

The Mount Cook buttercup, also known as the giant buttercup or mountain buttercup, is the world’s largest buttercup. Previously referred to as the Mount Cook lily, it can grow over a meter tall, with leaves larger than the size of your hand. Some leaves have been recorded as big as 40cm across. After rainfall, the cup-like leaves often hold water, and trampers sometimes stop to slurp a drink from them. This magnificent flower grows in sub-alpine to alpine herb fields in the South Island mountains, ranging from Marlborough to Stewart Island, at altitudes between 700m to 1500m.

Harakeke

New Zealand is home to two identified species of flax – common flax (harakeke) and mountain flax (wharariki). Flax, one of the country’s most ancient plant species, is unique to New Zealand. Flax bushes often host a large community of animals, offering shelter and a plentiful food source. Tui, bellbirds/korimako, saddlebacks/tīeke, short-tailed bats/pekapeka, geckos, and various types of insects delight in the nectar from the flax flower. The common flax (harakeke) or Phormium tenax is prevalent throughout the country, growing mainly on lowland swamps. On the other hand, the mountain flax (wharariki) or Phormium cookianum is found on mountain slopes and coastal cliffs. The mountain flax is smaller and has softer leaves and yellow flowers, while the common flax is larger and has stiff leaves and red flowers. Both species have numerous uses for people and native wildlife.

Chatham Island forget-me-not

The Chatham Island forget-me-not, a beloved and striking garden plant, is naturally found on the Chatham Islands, thriving on coastal cliffs, rock outcrops, and sandy and rocky beaches. Referred to as kopakopa in te reo Māori, this plant, scientifically known as Myosotidium hortensia, can develop clumps over a meter in diameter. Stems carrying large glossy leaves branch from a sturdy, cylindrical rootstock. The pale blue, occasionally white, flowers primarily bloom from September to October. On the same plant, distinct male and female flowers are present.

Mānuka

Mānuka or kahikātoa (Leptospermum scoparium), known as the ‘tea tree’ by Captain Cook, is a highly variable plant that ranges from flat creeping forms and small shrubs to tall trees (up to 10 m tall). Despite their variability, all forms of this species share sharp-tipped leaves, large, solitary white or pink-flushed flowers with distinctive short, dark red stamens, and persistent greyish-white nut-like capsules.Mānuka plants are sometimes covered with sooty mold, a black fungus that feeds on the honeydew produced by scale insects. This honeydew is a sweet, sticky substance excreted by scale insects as they feed on the sap of the plant. The sooty mold does not harm the plant, but it can reduce the amount of sunlight that reaches the leaves, potentially affecting the plant’s growth.

Chatham Island Christmas tree

Rautini, commonly known as the Chatham Island Christmas tree, is a towering tree daisy reaching heights of up to 8 meters. Its leaves, measuring up to 12 centimeters long, feature soft, downy hairs, imparting the entire plant with a lustrous silver appearance. During summer months, the plant displays its brilliant yellow flowers, while seeds ripen in autumn.
