Vanessa Bean - Totemic

You might have missed them if you don't read The Beat That My Heart Skipped.

They remind me a little of Kachina Dolls ("Katsina"- the Autry Museum in L.A. are having a show of them now, here), they are so witty and charming.  And a little of Alexander Girard (my pic of his dolls here.)

I think they must be small.  They are "rings".  Vanessa was inspired to make them in an evening ceramic jewelry class she took.  Lovely, no?  More about Vanessa and her work here.

OK, so what's doing this weekend?  Hope it's all good!
