Ruru: morepork owl portraits, moons, and pepe tuna pūriri moth nocturnal motifs are set on a smoky grey lavender background. 

Kererū: quizzical native pigeons strike poses and show off in aerial displays. Set on a matcha-green background with spangles of lime-yellow pōānanga/Forster's clematis flowers. 

Kākā: cheeky native parrots and butterflies swoop across a ginger-spice background, along with ngūtukākā blossoms.  

Kiwi: the cutest kiwi pukupuku/little-spotted kiwi fossick across this silvery blue tape, interspersed with their giant eggs (which are a quarter the size of their bodies!), powellephantia snails, Cook Strait giant wētā, and kawakawa leaves.

FAQ - What is washi tape? It’s super-cute, low-tack, decorative masking tape. Use it to jazz up your journal, add to your craft project, pep up your day-planner, augment your scrapbook, wrap gifts, mask artworks (especially watercolours), and stylise your stationery stash. Washi is easy to tear by hand or cut with a dispenser. The tape is semi-translucent and although sticky, is easy to remove from most surfaces without damage or residue.
