AKUA BIRD MASK



I was emailing my sister about a new "friend", a red cardinal that chats, sings nearby,
and makes his glorious red self visible. There was another, a larger female that i sued
to see outside my kitchen window regularly. It took awhile for me to figure out what she was, and that she was a female of the same species. Last night this idea cam to me and I couldn't stop until I finished it. I took a few notes along the way, but at a certain point it's easier to just make it than to write.
