Keffiyeh - Blog Posts

Stand Strong With Falastin!!!

Symbols of Palestine

My first Keffiyeh! I ordered this one from Palithreads on tiktok. The fabric is very soft. I plan on wearing this to an upcoming ren faire as part of my costume to help show my solidarity.

My first Keffiyeh! I ordered this one from Palithreads on tiktok. The fabric is very soft. I plan on wearing this to an upcoming ren faire as part of my costume to help show my solidarity.

Recently this tatreez + keffiyeh design in my fundraiser has been selling well so I wanted to reshare it:

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 Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

This design has been particularly popular on less common products recently, like phone cases. Here are some example products:

You can find the design here. The keffiyeh is an open source pattern, the tatreez I drew in FlossCross.

Here is a sample of my other work:

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. Generally stickers are the most popular (and have the best profit margins for the fundraiser).

Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out! We really appreciate the support.

A new version of this design is now in my fundraiser shop, with a bitmap filter and "فلسطين حرة" (roughly "free Palestine").

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 Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. For example a recent month's worth of sales went to a relative of his in Lebanon who is helping feed and shelter displaced people.

This design uses a keffiyeh from an open source photo with eyes from a vintage illustrated movie poster. You can find it here on a variety of products (stickers, clothes, prints, etc). Here are some examples of products with this design:

I bought one of the new holographic stickers from my fundraiser to test, here's how it turned out. As always EVERYTHING I EARN from my shop is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America.

A new design for my fundraiser, particularly good for stickers and shirts. As always EVERYTHING I RAISE is for my best friend, a Palestinian grad student living in America. The money is sent home to support 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 raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

The new work is found here. I have a handful of previous designs using some of these elements as well, including two with the same quote and a bunch with the same base art (an edited photograph of a keffiyeh with eyes from an old movie poster). For example:

Here are some examples of the art on various products (note you can also change the background color of the various shirts):

The entire University of California (10 schools!) just called for an official UAW backed strike due to the Palestine protests! So proud of the tens of thousands of grad students putting their labor on the line for the cause.

In light of this I wanted to share the most relevant design from my fundraiser again, the sabo-tabby (aka black cat, wildcat, sab cat) with a keffiyeh. This is an old IWW symbol still commonly used for strikes and labor organizing today. I met the friend I am fundraising for through his labor activism (I started asking him too many questions and he recruited me to help haha). He is an incredibly clever and effective activist who has been involved in a lot of successful labor movements, and this symbol is very dear to him (as is the keffiyeh of course).

As usual ALL PROCEEDS from my shop are for this friend who is Palestinian. The extra income will help him support 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 raids and economic devastation 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.

Some product examples (this one is particularly nice for stickers I think):

I've already made something similar to this, it seems like a good design for a sticker. The keffiyeh was a gift from the friend I am fundraising for. He gave it to me back in October while I was trying to comfort him, I have worked photos of it into a lot of my designs.

He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

I made another piece with this quote (new one is on the left), I'm still wondering where it's from if anyone knows. I've seen variations of it attributed to Pablo Neruda and others but no one seems completely certain of the origin.

ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining in America until it's safe for her to travel back home (at this point she's hoping to head back soon-ish as her city has been somewhat safe recently) and to help support 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 raids and economic devastation in the West Bank and the collateral damage in surrounding countries.

You can find this design here. Here are some examples of it on a pin, sweatshirts and a sticker:

This is an edit of a public domain panel from an old comic. I added the keffiyeh. You can find it here.

The illegal detentions and economic crisis in the West Bank have hit his family the hardest so far. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

I filled the rose petals in this design with pictures of my keffiyeh. The scarf was a gift from the friend I am raising money for. He gave it to me in mid October, he was very upset at the time and I was trying to comfort him. He took it off and put it on me and insisted I keep it. It is now one of my most prized possessions and I try to incorporate it in a lot of my designs.

ALL PROCEEDS from this and all my other designs are for this 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 raids in the West Bank (this has unfortunately hit his family quite hard) 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 heavily involved in activism and I trust him to put the money where it can make the most difference.

Here are some examples of this design (found here) on products:

Just added a new map and poppy design, on the left. On the right is the last one I made. They can be found here and here. Poppies are common in Palestine and are often used as a national symbol, representing the colors of the flag and blood shed upon the land. I used my keffiyeh as a backdrop for the design on the left, it was a gift from the friend I am raising money for.

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.

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.

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 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.

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).

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.

I've been making a couple simple text designs again, starting with these two rainbow designs found here and here.

Fundraising Update

No new design approvals seem to be happening with the holiday, so here are my most popular Palestine designs so far (shown here on stickers):

I want to thank everyone who has pitched in to help my best friend. For those who have not seen my posts my best friend in the world is Palestinian, and a lot of his friends and family all around 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 (West Bank stuff in particular has been rough for them). We're also on limited budgets as grad students, and I really don't want him to feel pressured to neglect school to support his family. He's an absolutely brilliant scientist and deserves to be able to focus on his research (as well as he can through the emotional toll this has taken of course). So, I'm selling Palestine related art and ALL PROCEEDS will go to him to help him get his loved ones through this. Honestly I didn't expect fundraising like this to do anything, but you all have been amazing!

I have a really happy update, his girlfriend should be arriving here in America imminently! You all helped pay for her flight and are helping cover their housing, so thank you so much! I really hope you are all enjoying the stickers, shirts, mugs and all the other stuff you have bought! From now on all money raised goes to supporting her stay here and continuing to give my friend the means to help his family back home. Anything he doesn't end up needing he is planning on donating to the various Palestinian charities he works with.

All designs above (and a ton more) are found here (Redbubble will show you a random product, click on each to see more product options). They're available on stickers, shirts, pins, and many other products. Some examples:

I added the keffiyeh I drew for my dove design to this simple bird silhouette.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for my Palestinian best friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America 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.

Both drawings come in a few different varieties (colors, details), see the shop for all options.

A couple new things I made with photos of my keffiyeh, a gift from the friend I am raising money for.

The watermelon first emerged as a symbol of Palestine after the six day war in 1967. Israel made public displays of the Palestinian flag illegal so Palestinians would circumvent the ban by using the watermelon, which has the same four colors. I figured it was about time I added a watermelon to my collection, it seems like every shop in this niche has their own version of it. Also the friend I am fundraising for absolutely adores watermelon, he'll eat a whole big one a day during the summer. We grabbed one last second for a hike one time and ate the whole thing with our bare hands out in the woods, it's a really nice memory. So this seems extra fitting.

As usual, ALL PROCEEDS from this design are for this Palestinian friend, to help his girlfriend afford to join him safely in America 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.

I would also like to continue to advertise this poppy and this keffiyeh wearing kitten, since they have rapidly become some of my best sellers:

My friend is such a sweet person and it's been heartbreaking seeing him so constantly stressed out and sad these past couple of months. It's been really nice to be able to at least help with the financial burden. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped out so far!

Cats Wearing Keffiyehs

These designs are edits of two vintage Julie de Graag prints.

For now his girlfriend is safe, plans are underway and we hope to see her here in not too long. His immediate family is safe for now. Some of his extended family are not doing so well unfortunately. We likely won't know the extent of the harm until things calm down a little. I will keep posts vague to respect his privacy, but the stuff in the West Bank has hit them quite hard. They've also lost some friends in Gaza.
