The Adventures of Custard and Chookie

We're Custard and Chookie and we don't care about your silly tumblr blogs and pictures. We're just here for the free food and attention. (Custard and Chookie: Peachface lovebirds, 8 years old, both male, fluffy butts. Aly: Human, 24, female, sleep deprived, chicken wannabe, bird slave.) *~Kings of the Castle and of my Heart~*

Every time I see these bird pins - I cannot resist posting them, perhaps their history, with its fragility and strength, attracts me again and again. 

Bird pins (brooches) made out of scrap materials by Japanese Americans held in internment camps during World War II.From The Art of Gaman: Arts & Crafts from the Japanese American Internment Camps 1942-1946 by Delphine Hirasuna (Ten Speed Press, 2005).

Gaman is a Japanese term of Zen Buddhist origin which means “enduring the seemingly unbearable with patience and dignity”.
