Harmony






Next up in my family set is my wife Harmony. As you can see, I have been working on a new style that takes these figures even further away from the original Fisher-Price little people. I am giving these figures longer, tapered legs with 'feet' instead of the short straight peg of the older figures. Ladies, like the figure seen here will have skirts with ankles and feet below. I like how they are turning out. It makes for an interesting new look.
This is the first human female figure that I have made. I was holding off for a long time because I knew that the figure would be a lot more challenging and time consuming to make if it's done right. Sure enough, it was both challenging and time consuming! The head was the most difficult part of all due to the long hair. That took a lot of carving! The head is carved separately from the body from one piece of wood, with the exception of the nose.
