Description: If you are interested in collecting Harmony Kingdom, Adam Binder Editions or Fragile World pieces, please select me as one of your favorite sellers on eBay, or contact me about a piece you are looking for, and I will be happy to list it, if I have it. I have a large selection of pieces in my eBay store, but due to the expense of listing them all at one time, I will be listing only a few auctions each week. I will try and list a variety of pieces each week and hopefully you will find items of interest to you. This Harmony Kingdom box figurine named "One of a Kind" was carved by Peter Calvesbert in 2015. It was hand finished by Peter and Paul Frape in the Cotswold area of England.PLEASE NOTE: Peter did not specify whether any "Hard Bodies" were made. This piece does not come apart like the V2 Cold Cast Bronze pieces. So, it's either a "Hard Body", or the top and bottom were possibly sealed together by the resin. Peter's description: "This whale leaping out of the waves is very different from my usual sculptures and when I decided to try it, I wasn't sure whether we would release it or not-but as with all my work there is a reason for this temporary departure from the norm! Popular subjects like whales and sea lions have always caused me problems. The difficulty is in trying to get a finish that is both smooth and black and that I am happy with. The 'netsuke' type finish that my work is known for and which Harmony Kingdom tries to honor, is obtained by texturing the surface to get darker areas and leaving other areas smooth to get a lighter or a white finish-but this does not achieve a truly contrasting black and white. Painting smooth areas black has never proved satisfactory to me either. They are never properly black. So, I decided to experiment with a black resin, adding white inserts for the whale's white cheek flashes. Although successful in achieving the true black required for a whale, this new technique brought several new problems, so I probably won't use it again-this piece may really become "one of a kind"."Free USPS Ground Advantage insured shipping in the US. The piece is "mint in box". Thanks for looking!
