So glad that I got the @the.ana.collection doll from Beit Sadu The handmade dolls tell the hidden stories of war-torn Syria by ordinary Syrian refugees caught up in conflict. Each doll carries a name of a refugee and her/his painful story. What’s meaningful about buying this doll is that part of the proceeds will go back to the refugee who helped in making the doll. Kudos to the creators of @the.ana.collection for this amazing initiative ❤️
The Artemis Silhouette patch celebrates the Huntress. While it’s common to associate the ‘purity’ of Artemis as sexual purity (virginity), it is often understood to be the purity of the HUNT she was defending. A pure hunt - one in which you respected animals, took only adults, left pregnant individuals and butchered correctly to show reverence and to protect populations for the future.
The Aphrodite patch celebrates the lover. In Cyprus, the mythical place of her birth, Aphrodite was believed to be both male and female, and to embrace the role of both in their seductive pursuits.
Both patches are 15cm in diameter, making them the perfect feature for the back of a denim jacket or the side of a tote-bag.
Finally got around to taking photos of the Four Horsepersons of the Apocalypse true-forms patches I designed for the @blissfulimperfectionzine ! I adore how they all turned out.
