Palestine campaigns with under a thousand donations

Trying a new tactic with the fundraisers on my pinned list. These campaigns appear to gain a lot more traction when the number of donations hits a thousand, so here's a way to highlight those that could use more. These have all been vetted by Palestinians on Tumblr. Just like the main list, I'll keep you all updated with how things progress, and as always, if you can't donate, reblog.

More bookmarks!

These were also commissioned by my mother, though this time she bought them as a birthday gift for my aunt. It's really about time I open commissions for people other than my own mom lol

The bookmark with the fox and the raven took an insane amount of time, I think I spent 13 hours on it! I was really making sure to pay attention to the details, and to take my time including different species of plants and fungi that can be found in my local area. In the background there are bushes of european blueberry/bilberry, and in the foreground there grows crowberry, clubmoss and twinflower. The mushrooms are penny bun, birch bolete and chanterelle. The big ferns on the left are lady-fern and the small ones on the right are deer fern.

On the second bookmark there's the heads of a red fox and a mountain hare. The plants growing at the bottom are foxgloves and alpine bistort. (in Norwegian it is known as "harerug", directly translated as "hare rye") So both the plants match the names of the animals :)

These were a lot of fun to work on! I'm hoping to make more bookmarks in the future, maybe I could even take commissions online for them, if anyone's interested.

We watched this female jaguar resting during midday heat (40+ degrees). Suddenly, a massive male jaguar jumped out of the bushes. The female's adrenaline kicked in and her pupils turned blue for a second, as you can see on the shots.
