Our Moon Face Chocolate Sculpture with Beatrice Wood's Original Mold
Naming products is a challenging experience. Sometimes, you are clever. Sometimes, you are poetic. Sometimes, you hit that ethereal sweet spot. And, sometimes, you look at a piece of chocolate and call it exactly what it looks like. Both Emily and I analyzed the round-faced sculpture and labeled it “Moon Face.” Lisa, head of All Things Happy Department, looked at the same piece of chocolate and declared it the perfect representation of the Ojai Valley, christened the “Valley of the Moon” by the native Chumash tribes. The original ceramic sculpture mold was created in Wood’s Ojai studio, located on a hilltop overlooking what she described as “one of the most beautiful valleys of the world.”
In the next installment of the Beato Beat, I’ll describe the brilliance behind the title of “Horse.”
Stay tuned,
