Thanks Sharon! The storyteller figurine is an adaptation of centuries-old creations in figurine pottery among the Pueblo Indians. Their traditions and values are passed on by tribal elders through songs and stories geared to teaching the young, which is what is represented by these figures, and they are created from the same native clays as their other pottery. I thought their little round heads and drums would fit the challenge! :-) CJ

Hey, CJ, you did find the time to do one for Eligible. And a good one at that! This has such inviting warmth and cheeriness and the little ladies just make me smile. Well done! ~Sharon
