I need to start working on a few sculptures today for an upcoming show, found these photos of old doll heads while I was looking for inspiration....... in French the word for doll is poupée.  

"Beatrice Wood passed away in 1998 at the age of 105 years of age,  with the last 25 years of her life the most productive,  creating work to satisfy a growing market for her ceramics, writing books and visiting with  the hundreds of people who showed up on her doorstep.  When asked the secret of her longevity,  she would simply offer “art books, chocolates and young men” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yxv8k6g3i-A    This is a wonderful video of Beatrice!

Michelle Summers does really great drawings on Clay - see more here
