Watermelon Wobble
My wood girls like to give back when they can, either as a group or as individual pieces.
This wobble wood girl is dressed as a watermelon and stands in solidarity with the Palestinian people.
By purchasing this girl, you will be donating to Many Lands Mutual Aid, a Gaza based initiative that distributes daily necessities and food for up to 100 families who returned from displacement camps in the south of the Gaza strip to the Shuja'iyya neighbourhood of Gaza City in January 2025. Since the return to the north, they have also been helping to establish a steady supply of water to the neighbourhood. All aid to Gaza has been blocked since March by Israel and the situation grows more and more dangerous as the Israeli military continues to target the civilian population of Gaza. 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.
The total purchase price (less payment processing fees by Stripe/ Paypal) will be donated to the charity, and you get to keep a grumpy girl to remind you that resistance is existence. UK shipping is free. Shipping elsewhere is £12 flat rate.
The total height is approximately 7cm.
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.
