Falls at the noma of Tiar cousin and his wife, George and Ellen Clark, 2021 Lavey Street, lives on Lower Azusa Road, Rosemead, California, "just a few miles east from Los Angeles," Meeting her, ona feels that the line could include ". . . and just a little west of the moon," Her imagination (which has a little of the stuff moonbeams are made of) .hat made a fascinating and profitable career out of what could have been an ordinary hob by. But she makes it clear that her medium of expression ceramics with proper in struction could never be ordinary. Not very many are gifted with her talent for turning clay info nationally known little characters as she did when she created her Pixies in 1939. She created them to symbolize the action of kindly thoughts, always generating harmony and spontaneous joy. These originals, elfish little sprites, became nationally popular little figurines and wore used in floral arrangements or in groups with posture and facial expression telling a, story. "Artisan" Millesan had what it took to develop a fleeting, but inspired idea into something tangible with form and meaning. And the underlying reason for Pixies "to be" is to give pleasure. Her "know-how" and 20 years experience as teacher, manufacturer and creative, designer of ceramics, brought her to the attention of Robert E. Peterson, who publishes the Trend Books for hobbyists. Last month the most recent one, Trend Book 169, has her picture on the cover. She wrote two-thirds of the book. Her part was written for begin ners in ceramics. Millesan Drews has difficulty keeping up with her imagination and she now has new creation about to be marketed. She calls these little figurines "Reiki" or happy Ha waiian children. There are seven girls and three boys in the series singing and dancing figures with leis of flowers that show each tiny blossom individually. They express the un inhibited expression of innocent spontaneous joy in action. All are delightful "little people" about five and one half inches tall. Millesan Drews is a busy person with a practical approach to mixing moonbeams with "mud" to make enchanting figurines and money! The figurine shown here is a Pixie and because he's lightly poised on an apple he's "Apple Jack."
