watermelon & mini

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

My wood girls like to give back when they can, either as a group or as individual pieces.

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.

By purchasing this girl, you will be donating 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: weekly cash aid distribution, drinking water deliveries, community water wells, grocery, produce, fresh meat and prepared meal distribution, transportation and community events. Hussein and his team typically help between 30 and 75 families weekly.

It remains important that you read and educate yourself on the history of the region, talk to friends and family about what you learn, boycott Israeli products and companies that collaborate with Israel, look outside of mainstream media for factual news reporting and express open solidarity with the Palestinian people - do not stay silent and keep on resisting. Keep sharing information and fundraisers on social media to increase their impact.

The total purchase price of this piece (less payment processing fees by Stripe/ Paypal) will be donated to the Mutual Aid project, and you get to keep a specially made wood girl to remind you that resistance is existence.

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.

US CUSTOMERS: Please be aware that new import fees (tariffs) are now being applied by the US government to all imported goods - they vary by country of manufacture, which means 10% on goods manufactured in the UK (everything in my store). The good news is that if you purchase something from my store between now and February 2026 I will be trialling an 'all duties paid' service, which means you won't have to pay extra when the items arrive in the US. Some larger pieces may be sent separately to prevent damage.
