Hey all, I have been trying to think of something I could do to help those suffering in Gaza, and have decided to raffle off some prints and custom art to raise money for relief organizations.
The charities I’ve chosen are HEAL Palestine (I’ve specifically linked their Mental Health fund, but donations to any of their funds are great): https://healpalestine.app.neoncrm.com/campaigns/gaza-mental-health-campaign
and Gaza Kinder Relief: https://inara.org/gkr/
If you donate any amount to either of these organizations, you’ll have a chance to win a print of your choice. One person will also receive a custom colored-pencil sketch. I don’t do custom art very often, so if you’ve been wishing for something specific done by me, this is a rare chance!
Reply to this post to tell me you’ve entered, and dm me a screenshot of your donation confirmation. I’ll be randomly choosing 5 people at the end of the month (May 1st) to receive the prints and 1 for the custom original!
reminder that women helping women beadwork (a non-profit ig page selling beadwork made by incarcerated indigenous women) is putting out new pride pieces pretty much everyday so if you'd like some beautiful rainbow jewelry that directly supports these women please check them out ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🩷🤍🩵🤎🖤
Blep artist cup! The notch often comes when a piece's rim is wobbly or imperfect (like when I bump it by accident). It's perfect to hold a brush. Instead of balancing it like a goblin.
Vintage set of 30 postcards. Artist A. Vasilyev. Each has the letter on it and a picture of something that begins with the letter. The back of the cards is blank. The set had 33 cards originally (each letter of the Russian alphabet), but 3 are missing: Ж, Х, Ы.
Size 10 × 15 cm
Very rare. One the cards (А) is wrinkled - see the last picture. Other cards are in good condition. The set cover has a bent corner.
Price $40 + $11 shipping
Message me! Other items in my shop. I combine shipping. How to buy.
this is assuming its on art you normally wouldn't jump to reblog. i myself only rb stuff i really really like so .
The 'rude/demanding' tone would be stuff along the lines of "if you like but don't reblog I'll [threat]" which i see surprisingly often, both serious and more silly
Raven Hat, Tlingit (Pacific NW Coast), early-mid 1800s. Carnegie Museum of Natural History display.
“RAVEN HAT
Tlingit, early to mid 1800s
This raven crest hat probably belonged to a clan that owned the right to display Raven in this guise accompanied by story and song. The basketry rings may refer to the number of times that the hat was publicly displayed and validated as a crest object. Since the rings are woven as a single piece, at some point the number was set and no more were added.

“Raven and Eagle
Tlingit society is divided into two halves, or moieties, named the Ravens and the Eagles. (Note: it’s more broadly Raven/Crow and Eagle/Wolf as there are regional variants)
Every Tlingit person belongs to one side or the other. Within each moiety, there are many clans.
When introducing themselves, Tlingit individuals identify their moiety and clan. We're very clanish people. We are proud of who we are, like I'm a Raven, says Isabella Brady (1992).
Other Northwest Coast cultures have similar and equally complex social structures, some with two divisions and some with more. Each clan has rights to its own designs, songs, stories, and more.”
“Raven also moves between the creature and human worlds, bestowing gifts yet playing tricks on humans in an extensive series of stories. He has a dual personality. As a culture hero and transformer, Raven is credited with shaping much of our world. As a trickster, he is driven to outlandish adventures by his selfishness, greed, and hunger.”
