“2 million liters of fresh and clean water delivered in North Gaza since mid-June! Today, we are glad to share with you that we reached a new remarkable milestone in North Gaza of delivering 2 million liters of fresh water. That is the equivalent 666,667 3-liter drinking portions of water OR 4 MILLION small water bottles over the course of the past 5 months. Counting today's deliveries we have provided 2,021,000 liters using 314 trucks in total.

The last milestone we set was on September 20th when we reached 1 million liters. This means that we have been averaging around 15,000 liters every single day in North Gaza and we don't plan to stop! With your support we hope to carry on this mission until the day that our support is no longer needed and all infrastructure in Gaza is restored once again.

Until then, we ask you to continue supporting us. Our campaign serves the people of North Gaza with more than just water. We have also distributed 19074 hot trays of food and food packages, led 10 free medical treatment days, provided 2330 packs of diapers and 629 tins of baby formula, among other initiatives.

Please join our beautiful community and help us achieve much more!”

what medium did you use to color monsieur jumping jack? it looks so soft and lovely but also bold and saturated

Hi! I used paint pen and colored pencil

I mostly know your account through the funny little puppets so I apologize if you’ve already been told this but it appears the tiktok and Pinterest folks have discovered Toni as the, like, patron saint of positive nihilism and they are loving her

I did know this, but it perplexes and amuses me every time it's spotted in the wild! It makes me feel like Toni has an influencer side career that I don't fully understand, but I'm proud of her nonetheless. Are ya winning son

Hi just wanted to let you know I followed your tutorial and summoned a ghoulie to do my dark bidding. She is a marionette and she frightens small dogs.

She's WONDERFUL I love her ears and horns and nails and general haunting prowess!!!!

Can you show us the back of your jumping jack demon? Id really like to make my own

Sure thing!

I used a whole mess of paper making the thighs - part of a failed attempt to prevent the black thread connecting the thighs from becoming visible when I pull the tail. Might be fixable with more engineering. Ultimately, it's just 1) a cord connecting the upper arms 2) a cord connecting the thighs, and 3) a pull cord that connects the two previous cords.

goofy demon jumping jack doll in action

[Video description: A video of an articulated paper doll in action. The doll depicts a blue and red demon, with a grinning blue face, red horns, and red forearms and thighs. It has bird claw-like hands and feet, and a sinister grinning face on its tummy. It has a blue yarn tail with a red pointed tip. When the tail is pulled, the doll raises its arms and legs. The video is in a forest - there are ambient insect noises in the background.]
