<Grow Sunflowers, Not Wars | 心中種滿向日葵>

A global symbol of resistance, unity and hope! Ukraine's sunflower becomes a worldwide symbol of solidarity and peace amid the Russian invasion. 收到這些少少的1970初期香港出口的浮雕向日葵鑲嵌用珠珠，看了就開心。戴一朵向日葵在手上或胸前，感覺有暖暖的打氣力量！項鍊的設計鑲上一顆小小的湛藍孔雀石，是藍天下的向日葵啊！

有關《Grow Sunflowers, Not Wars》義賣活動：
過去三年我曾經向烏克蘭手作者訂過客製的手繡T恤和袋子；我也有蘇俄客人跟我訂過首飾，因為一直是在24小時營業的國際平台上和各國的客人訊息互動著，覺得地球並不是那麼大。去年的這個季節，我正如火如荼的趕工「大女孩支持小女孩」高中重聚活動的義賣活動，托大家的福，成果豐碩，和南投希望學園拉起了線。此時，和百生枋寮藝術村合作，
我喜歡這個活動沒有讓大家停留在表面的捐款，可以進一步深思，戰爭的本質。

邀請大家來到這個以台鐵舊宿舍改造的藝術村：
說話、寫字、打氣、唱詩歌
給予千里之外的戰爭人民正念與祝福。或是，只要靜靜的，祈念。

訂購義賣設計的 ， 百生會持續直接捐贈至UNWomen.org

UNWomen 這個組織從6年前開始就一直關注烏克蘭的女性平權議題，現在在Moldova協助離開烏克蘭的難民，大部份是女人和小孩。

Reading and watching the news these days is truly heartbreaking and terrifying in equal measure even if we are nowhere near the real danger. We are all connected; I have ordered handmade embroidery t-shirts and tote bags from Ukrainian makers on Etsy and I have Russian customers who have ordered from my Etsy shop in the past year. To support organizations providing humanitarian aid, I have created three designs using materials that have been sitting in my drawers. The first design is "Energizing yellow, Freedom Blue" mobile earrings; available in both post style and clip-on style. These are made in 925 sterling silver and with vintage glass beads.

All profits for these earrings through the month of April will be donated to UNwomen.org. They have been providing humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children in Moldova.I have read somewhere that in a situation like this it's easy to confuse empathy with sympathy. We can't help anyone by suffering ourselves. It's important we keep on doing the things that bring us joy, boost our energy, keep our spirits up, satisfy our need for connection... This is my way to connect with fellow beings on planet Earth.

About the ring design:

A global symbol of resistance, unity and hope! Ukraine's sunflower becomes a worldwide symbol of solidarity and peace amid the Russian invasion.
These vintage lucite cabochons were made in Hong Kong back in the early 70s. What do I do with these sunflower beads? Rings and necklaces! To avoid the ring size problem, I have soldered these onto adjustable ring shanks in both sterling silver and raw brass. The necklace design represents “growing sunflowers under the blue sky”. The 4mm Arizona blue turquoise does the work!
As I have mentioned in my <Freedom Blue, Energizing Yellow> post, all profits for these designs through the month of April will be donated to UNwomen.org. They have been providing humanitarian assistance for Ukrainian refugees, mostly women and children in Moldova.
