Art with a difference

I was in Wellington on Friday for a meeting and a group of us took the opportunity offered by lateish flights and niceish weather to walk along the waterfront before heading out to the airport. Outside Te Papa we spotted these
Yes, they are port-a-loos (the sign says Art-a-loo) but aren't they fabulous. The best bit is that you could own one! They are up for sale on Trademe with all proceeds going to support research into Colitis and similar diseases.


Then on Saturday I finally got to the Gallery to see their latest exhibitions, one of which features a huuuuge knitted scarf coiled up on the floor. As part of the 'events' programme they are giving you the opportunity to knit some rows on a communal scarf. I added two. At the end of the exhibition the scarf will be auctioned, again for charity.



As fab as they are I'm not sure about bidding for an Art-a-loo but I might for the scarf, artistic, practical and a little part of it is mine.
