Hello everyone, my name is Alina and I’m a crafter from Ukraine.

Before the war I’ve started to create a Butterfly project because I always believed that Butterflies don’t need to be killed for their beauty. You’ve probably saw many art projects or jewelry with real butterflies, but the truth about them is that all these butterflies are killed almost as soon as they get out of their cocoon because this way, they would be the most beautiful. I always wanted to stop this, to prove that you don’t need to kill nature to create something beautiful!

Now, after the war, I have another mission too. I was able to escape the war. Most of my fellow crafters are in Ukraine still, so I’m looking for all ways to support them from here, to give them work, which is so important now in Ukraine. So, I want you to know that when you support OhMyButterfly, you give work and hope to do Ukrainian crafters and their families. You give them something to live for. That is what I’m trying to do every day.
