Godley House Wake Bunting
Members of the community are invited to contribute flags to special bunting being created for the Godley House Wake. The plan is to use the bunting to mark the pathway to Godley House.
The bunting flags are red and white (the principal colours of the flowers in the main garden). Every second flag will be made from red felt. These will be plain. The white flags will be the artwork of the individual contributors. They can be made from white paper or white cloth. Everyone (children and adults) are invited to draw a picture, write a poem, attach a special picture of Godley House, paint their hand and hand stamp a flag, and so on.
The template for the flags is easy to make. Fold an A4 piece of paper lengthways (so the two long edges touch each other) and cut diagonally. Open out the folded piece, which will be the correct size for the triangular pennant-shaped flag (210mm wide by 297mm long). Add your art, hand print, etc. down towards the point, as the flags will be sewn together at the top. Please drop them off at the library or Snowdrop Cottage by Thursday, September 8.
Canvas Banner
Another decoration idea is to have a large banner made from canvas. If anyone would like to donate their time, skills, or art supplies, please contact Heather Watson at Snowdrop Cottage or Adrian Te Patu. The canvas will be pinned to a large board, and pens and paints etc, will be provided for people to add their thoughts, poetry, art, etc, on the day - or even earlier, if someone would like to volunteer their time to monitor this project.
