watermelon & mini (fundraiser)

100% of the purchase price of this piece will be donated to the Many Lands Mutual Aid project in Gaza, Palestine.

This mini wood girl is enjoying her life as a watermelon, and standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine. I have been pro-Palestine since learning about the Nakba at school at the age of 14, right before the first Intifada.

100% of the purchase price of this piece (less payment processing fees by Stripe/ Paypal) will be donated to Many Lands Mutual Aid, a vetted grassroots aid distribution project that puts your donations directly into the hands of displaced families in Gaza in the form of everything from access to solar charging, safe drinking water, groceries, transportation and community support. Hussein and his family team typically help between 30 and 60 families weekly. The living conditions in Gaza right now (many families in tents) means they face new challenges with each season - currently there is a scourge of insects and rodents and so hygiene kits have been the most needed item recently. Thank you for your solidarity with the people of Palestine.

The total height is approximately 11cm.

My pieces are painted in a naïve and simple style, with visible brush strokes and differing paint consistencies. It is important to note that these dolls are made from real wood which will have naturally occurring markings and grain, and sometimes there will be small amount of bleeding along the grain, which is to be expected when using untreated wood - please make sure you consult the pictures carefully before purchasing. Finished in a top coat of matt acrylic.

Stamped underneath with 'blue bear' in red ink.
Please note: THIS IS NOT A TOY and should be kept out of the reach of children.
