My best friend (the best person I have EVER known) is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. ALL PROCEEDS from these designs will go first and foremost to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely, and after that helping his other loved ones weather this war.
These six keffiyeh pattern maps are now available in my shop. I like the top left in particular, the folds of the fabric follow the shape of the country nicely. Available individually or in a sticker pack containing smaller versions of all six. Designs are also available on other products like shirts, hats, notebooks, etc. The shop will randomize which product it shows you, click on them to see more options.
Thank you so much to the anonymous Canadian customer who bought the keffiyeh wearing dove on a sweatshirt this morning. You are a wonderful person.
I've seen a lot of people buy stickers from various sources or make their own to hand out at protests (personally I was thrilled to receive handmade solidarity stickers from a kind woman at my last union action), so if you're looking to take advantage of Redbubble's bulk deals I might suggest that use.
Hey, whoever is sending me messages, that feature is completely broken on my account for some reason, I've never been able to see or read any of them, sorry
Here's another compilation of stickers/pins from my fundraiser:
As always EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. The money is sent home to support his friends and family in Gaza, in the West Bank and sometimes those elsewhere in the Levant caught up in the conflict (such as the many displaced people in Lebanon). Right now the situation is looking increasingly desperate in the West Bank, 40,000 people are already displaced and we're scared to see how far things are going to escalate. Thankfully most of his immediate family are safe for now.
You can find all of my work in my shop HERE. You can filter by product with the menu on the left side of the page or go here to browse by design. There are also shirts, mugs, notebooks and plenty of other products besides the ones shown here.
Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.

ANY AND ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him bring his girlfriend over to America. Any left over will be used to help his family/other loved ones affected by the war.

My Palestinian best friend is an absolutely brilliant scientist and all around amazing person. He genuinely tries to help everyone he meets. It is heartbreaking seeing my dearest friend in so much pain. I wish there was more I could do to help.
A lot of his friends and family all around the Levant are being hurt directly and/or financially by the war. ALL PROCEEDS from the Palestine designs I have been selling will go first and foremost to helping his girlfriend afford to join him in America safely, and after that helping his other loved ones weather this war.
I know it's not much but my hope is to at least ease the financial toll this will take on him, grad students don't have much to begin with and having to stretch what he does have to protect those he loves is going to be really tough as this conflict drags on. I don't want him to have to leave his research, I can't tell you much for his privacy but I assure you it is brilliant work and he loves it so much. No scientist should have to choose between their passion and the safety of their family.
Above is the latest design, found here. Mostly made with stickers in mind, though you can also find it on shirts, notebooks, hats, etc. There are 5 more versions of a map with a keffiyeh pattern waiting for Redbubble's approval now. Full collection can be found here, with new designs being added pretty much daily in a variety of styles.
This has been the favorite and best seller so far:
Thank you to everyone who has helped out.
I've been working very hard on my fundraising shop, and I just realized I have 100 designs now, in time for the 100th day of war. I plan to keep going until everyone my friend loves is safe and financially secure. Here are some of my designs (displayed on stickers):
You can find all my designs here. Redbubble will display them with a random product, click on each to see all product options (pins, shirts, stickers, bags, hats, etc). Edit: collections cap out at 100 products apparently, so from now on see my full range of designs here on my main page (I have temporarily removed all designs not related to Palestine).
ALL PROCEEDS from my shop go to my Palestinian best friend to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with. He's been heavily involved in a lot of charity work (for Palestine and for other causes, he's one of those super nice people who's always trying to fix the whole world) for years and I trust him to put the money where it's most needed.
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far!
I added a new pixel art person (on the left), found here. I'm also in the process of filling in some additional simple pixel art designs to make a pack of tinier stickers, which should hopefully be up sometime this week. The black and red dresses are my attempt at making pixel art of tatreez embroidery (the scarves are of course supposed to be keffiyehs). I've been told by my husband that these little characters are "slightly creepy looking" haha, if you don't like them I have plenty of other stuff that looks very different in my full shop here.
As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from my designs are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until things calm down and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.
I'm not really sure how a fundraiser like this should be considered under the strike, I'm going to keep sharing my stuff and leave it to your discretion when/if you want to purchase anything this week.
Here's a little sample of other designs I have (available on shirts, stickers, etc):
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate it.
I think this 1897 Verneuil print makes for a really pretty T-shirt pattern! (via "Cicada and Macaw Print by Maurice Pillard Verneuil" Graphic T-Shirt for Sale by FairieDance)
The Jaffa orange holds a lot of symbolism for the Palestinian struggle. This varietal was developed in the 19th century and named for the city Jaffa, where it was first produced for export. It was a major export of the region until the industry declined under British rule and disruption from WWII. Finally the establishment of Israel caused irreparable damage as groves were seized or destroyed by settlers. Israel took over production on seized land but never achieved the same success with the crop, and what remained of Palestine suffered ongoing violence and blockades preventing the industry from further success. The Jaffa orange has remained a symbol of the Palestinian homeland, most notably in Ghassan Khanafani's short story The Land of Sad Oranges.
This orange with a Palestinian flag for a leaf can be found here on shirts, stickers, mugs and more. ALL PROCEEDS from Palestine related sales will go to my Palestinian best friend to help him bring his girlfriend over to America. Any left over will be used to help his other loved ones around the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the increasing Israeli raids in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. All designs available here.
Thank you so much to the three customers who bought stickers, a mug and a hoodie yesterday! You are very kind, your help is greatly appreciated.
I made a second pixel art design for my fundraising shop, found here. It's a woman with a keffiyeh and a Palestinian dress featuring tatreez embroidery. It was made with stickers in mind but it is available on a lot of products. The original (below) is found here.

Here are some examples of products with this design. Once I have a few more pixel art things I'll put some of them together in a sticker pack for people who want small versions (extra tiny stickers seem to me to suite this art style well).
Thank you to everyone who has helped out so far! We greatly appreciate it.
Starving grad student running a small Redbubble shop (initially for side income, now for fundraising for my Palestinian friend). Made this blog to share my designs, found here: https://www.redbubble.com/people/fairiedance/shopMy best friend (an absolutely brilliant scientist and compassionate social activist, seriously the best person ever) is a Palestinian grad student studying in America, and a lot of his friends and family are being affected by the genocide in Gaza and the fallout in the West Bank and surrounding areas. I have started selling Palestine related designs in my shop. EVERYTHING I RAISE he sends to his loved ones to help in various ways as the situation progresses.Designs not related to Palestine have been removed from my shop for now (probably for good at this point).
