Game on

Anyone fancy a game of noughts and crosses? Nice. Jo uses Resene paint to bring a burst of colour to her skilful woodwork including game boards, coasters and dishes. Jo Bidwell’s business began creating stencils for people to use in their own painting projects, but thanks to demand her work evolved into painted pieces on recycled timber woodwork. These unique pieces are inspired by the richness of colour and patterns in Indian fabrics as well as native flora and fauna. Jo used Resene Warrior and Resene Whizz Bang on recycled rimu and tōtara to produce this noughts and crosses set. See more of her designs at www.felt.co.nz/shop/nicejonz.
