Reading and watching the news these days is truly heartbreaking and terrifying in equal measure even if we are nowhere near the real danger. We are all connected; I have ordered handmade embroidery t-shirts and tote bags from Ukrainian makers on Etsy and I have Russian customers who have ordered from my Etsy shop in the past year.
To support organizations providing humanitarian aid, I have created three designs using materials that have been sitting in my drawers.
The first design is "Energizing yellow, Freedom Blue" mobile earrings; available in both post style and clip-on style. These are made in 925 sterling silver and with vintage glass beads.
All profits for these earrings will be donated to UNwomen.org. They have been providing humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children in Moldova. UNwomen.org has a track record of supporting refugess around the globe.
I have read somewhere that in a situation like this it's easy to confuse empathy with sympathy. We can't help anyone by suffering ourselves. It's important we keep on doing the things that bring us joy, boost our energy, keep our spirits up, satisfy our need for connection... This is my way to connect with fellow beings on planet Earth.
過去三年我曾經向烏克蘭手作者訂過客製的手繡T恤和袋子;也有蘇俄客人跟我訂過首飾,因為一直是在24小時營業的國際平台上和各國的客人訊息互動著,一直覺得地球並不是那麼大。
去年的這個季節,我正如火如荼的趕工「大女孩支持小女孩」高中重聚活動的義賣活動,托大家的福,成果豐碩,把大家和和南投希望學園拉起了線。此時,我又要來拉線了,和 百生枋寮藝術村合作,下星期要寄一批作品參加他們整個四月份的祈念和平活動。

我喜歡這個活動沒有讓大家只停留在表面的捐款,可以進一步深思,戰爭的本質。這個清明連假,可以拜訪一下陽光燦爛的島南這個以台鐵舊宿舍改造的藝術村:
說話、寫字、打氣、唱詩歌
給予千里之外的戰爭人民正念與祝福。或是,只要靜靜的,祈念。
4/8有一批合運,如果妳/你想要訂購這款義賣耳環,又到不了枋寮藝術村,就直接跟我說喔。在四月底,我會結算捐款至UNwomen 。 這個組織從6年前開始就一直關注烏克蘭的女性平權議題,現在在Moldova協助離開烏克蘭的難民,大部份是女人和小孩。
