Wow thanks for the kind words everyone that's really sweet! :wave:

Birdie, the treats and most of the candy in the last picture is from Re-Ment blind boxes, sort of like Playmobil's Figure series.  I found them in Toy Tokyo store in New York but there are also some in Ebay.

Oh yeah, and the trees are from Schleich from Toy's R Us.

Thanks, Pynedor, DrDalek6, sunflower, and Skywalker.

Here are more shots from a harp concerto for a select few inner circle



I love that Bedroom lady figure playing the harp but sadly she is no longer being made according to DS.  The guy with the hooked hand was unintentional since I only have one of the figures, I guess I have to wait until they go on sale in the US to get two matching hands.

This is a trio of intimidating grand dowagers.  I am experimenting with grey hair which was so popular during the 18th century and I hope they came out alright.

a detail from the earlier group showing how I was inspired by Christian Lacroix's hat for this lady in red.  The choker was from
cheng's idea of pvc stickers



and this is my preview of a Mt. Olympus tableaux done 18th century style so I am working on Athena and Venus.

Wonderful hair on all of them. I very much like the grey hair ladies. great to see you posting again.

This last one with the red hair - the hair looks to me like it should go on a Queen Elizabeth I custom, it reminds me particularly of the QEI from the BlackAdder TV show. Just needs a bit of crown or fluffy hat in the center.
