Dr. Willard

Dr. Willard is known by the village as the 'Doctor of Love'.  This is not just for his ability to love and care for all of the village folk but because he was the one who helped save the Love Bugs from being wiped out by the viscous Wallinga who had a taste for our friends the Love Bugs. The tale has been passed down as 'Dr. Willard and the War of the Wallinga' '

Sien

Sold

The first thing I noticed about Sien was his eyes. He could look a lion in the mouth and that lion would woo. Who wouldn't? If Sien looked me in the eyes and asked, I would follow him to the moon. When Sien realized that he was all eyes and nothing else to everyone he met, he quickly tired of ladies and lions falling in love with his gaze. He adorned himself with a red cape and hat hoping it might mask him from onlookers. He began to look down all the time. Down for days and weeks, and then months until he forgot what he looked like. Finally, Sien glimpsed his reflection in a window and found himself looking different. He had turned turquoise and his hair had grown wildly, he was all together soft and fuzzy. Sien liked his reflection. When someone asked him how he was he said, "things are looking up!"

Apple

Sold

Every morning Apple goes to work in a factory that makes ladies hats. He is quality control. Apple makes sure various feathers and ribbons are in place. He got the job because his aunt owed a favour to her sister, Apple's mother. She was worried about where Apple was so late at night. He is a singer in a band, but he doesn't like to brag about it, not even to his mom. When asked why he is green and why his hair looks the way he does he'll ask "why are you the way you are?" He writes songs about space and other places he has never been. When he comes home late at night between bars and the factory he dreams of an audience of hats. They don't sit on heads or bodies but they are there and they are "wooting" for an encore.

Maggie, Goddess of Funk

© Jenny Kuri 2009

Maggie wouldn’t tell you but she doesn’t hear well and you have to stand in front of her when you speak so she can read your lips. Most people appreciate this kind of interaction and like Maggie a lot as a result. And the thing about Maggie is that she actually listens. It is a loving effort for her to hear. When she talks, which isn’t very often, she will make you laugh with a bad joke. Like, “an old whiskery fish went up to three young fish one morning and said ‘how’s the water?’ and then swam away. The three young fish looked at each other all perplexed and one said ‘what the hell is water?’ ” Maggie has a button where her heart is and she will tell you it’s good luck to put your index finger on it and count to three."
