Textile artist Maree Liddington with her winning sign design, and the sample weaving project she based it on. The design for Eltham’s new welcome signs was inspired by a woven artwork. Textile artist Maree Liddington’s work has been selected by the South Taranaki District Council to be made into four signs, one at each entrance to the town. It features native birds around a lake, symbolising the nearby Rotokare Scenic Reserve, where she often goes for walks. “The idea was going to be a weaving design,” she said.
