BluE BiRd and PiNk BirD


Unlike Camille who was forced to keep her heart on a string for lack of a better place to put it, Luci-Ami keeps Pink Bird very close because she is afraid he will leave her. Her heart is tucked very warmly inside therefore she doesn't have to worry about it, but she worries very deeply about Pink Bird.

Blue Bird's story has been told before but to summarize, he is a deliverer of love notes. Sometimes these notes are very pleasant, other times not. Apart from his job, he is very free.

GREAT NEWS!!!!

Our somewhat under-worked, messy collaboration of lonely characters is ready to formally introduce a new friend. My heart aches with love for her, she is pretty, gentle and unimaginably lost. Her name is Luci-Ami. So far, I have used both names, many times and never together, but I have, today, decided it is the perfect name and goes very nicely with her adorable personality.
She comes from very far away, not even from this planet and although i stitched her, the actual stitching process happens at a strange and unworldy time between sleep and awake, where i am not exactly conscious of what i am doing and therefore can not be responsible for it. Luci-Ami told me, as soon as she arrived, that she does not know where she is or how she arrived on this planet and in my room and on my sewing machine, and that it would be a great wonder to her, and received with enormous appreciation, apart form her height, if i would declare any knowings of her appearance. well, it came as a great shock to her and to her bird, who is pink,
that i didn't know exactly where she came from but that i knew she came from many places. I also told her her name which she was very pleased with.
I have introduced Luci-Ami to her new family of another bird, a piranha and Camille, and she seems most pleased with everyone except the piranha. I certainly cant blame her as i loath it myself. Furthermore, i have left her. Yes ladies and gentlemen i have left her, my poor, darling Luci-Ami in the hands of two wonderful ladies in Brooklyn who have given me the kind gesture of including her in an exposition. Now, some may be shocked at my blatant, and sudden abandonment of my new friend, but please understand that it was a decision too difficult to disclose. Also, I am convinced she is safe and not in the least bit lonely. She is there with a group of 25 or so other creatures of the heart in a place called Gureje in Brooklyn. They are all together, sitting atop a very well lit (i hope) mantle. and most of them have been quite friendly and have gotten along, as far as i know, very beautifully. I am proud of my little Luci-Ami and her bravery in accepting to remain with the friends she has only just made. What may appear to have been an abandonment to those who dont understand that "dolls" do in fact have choices, was most certainly a democratic decision. On April 5th the doors of the Gallery will open and the "dolls" will all be celebrated and welcomed. As far as i know, Luci-Ami will not remain on this planet for long, but she will be around long enough to make plenty of friends and have an adventure or two, at least under my supervision, nothing less would be remotely tolerable.
