THE ODD COUPLE from Harmony Kingdom has arrived!

    Last May I posted information about the creation of the new Harmony Kingdom Collectors Club that includes the benefits of receiving updated news and special offers. Of course, as a Harmony Kingdom collector and retailer, I joined. In May, club members who asked to receive information on “Exclusive Harmony Kingdom Opportunities”, received an announcement for the first exclusive opportunity to purchase “The Odd Couple” box figurine, featuring an otter and turtle in sweet embrace. Within each piece, there is a special little marbledust fish trinket. Why is it there? Know one really knows, but it certainly adds to the oddity of the carving!

    This adorable box figurine, carved by Monique Baldwin, was produced in England’s Wimberley Mills with an edition of only 150. The two that I ordered arrived last Saturday and they are wonderful - the expression on the turtles face is priceless! I will be keeping one for my personal collection and I will offer the other for sale sometime in the future here on What's New at Dezign Zoo. Some of these pieces will undoubtably turn up on ebay (actually a couple already have) but if you would like to own one and aren't lucky enough to obtain one elsewhere, you might want to follow my blog for another chance.

ALL ABOUT HARMONY BALL POT BELLYS

The Harmony Ball Pot Belly collection is unique in the world of miniature figurines. These detailed characters are actually boxes with secret compartments for holding tiny treasures. The original models are carved at Martin Perry Studios in Gloucestershire, England then molded with a unique crushed marble resin developed by Martin Perry and then hand painted and tinted.

  The collection includes charming animals, people, and other characters such as snowmen, ghosts, and Christmas trees. Cookie jar box figurines that were a little bigger than the rest of the collection (to make room for the cookies), were also part of the collection for a limited time.

  Since their inception, many different timed collections have been created and retired. Collections have included: farmyard animals, zoological animals, baby animals, calendar cats, historical cats, historical people and others. Each unique character within the collections are typical of the originality of the Pot Belly line.

  In September of 2009 Harmony Ball added Key Chains to the Pot Belly family. Depicting an array of famous faces, each is beautifully crafted and hand-tinted and instead of having a secret compartment like the others, these figurines include a durable stainless steel key chain.Collectors can choose from Albert Einstein, Abraham Lincoln, Barack Obama, Edgar Allan Poe, Mahatma Gandhi and William Shakespeare.

  Dezign Zoo Animal Emporium carries a large selection of the Animal Pot Bellys while Dezign Zoo Collectibles and Gifts offers a selection of Historical People. Of course, for more information and to view all of the available Pot Belly box figurines, you can visit the Official Harmony Ball Website.

  NOTE: I order from the Harmony Ball Company on a regular basis so, if you are looking for any Pot Bellys that aren't available in either of my stores, let me know - I would be more than happy to special order them for you! I am easy to contact from either of my websites.

Earth Day - Inspiring Awareness

  Earth Day is a day designed to inspire awareness and appreciation for the Earth's environment. Founded by U.S. Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin as an environmental teach-in on April 22 1970, Earth Day marked the beginning of the modern environmental movement. Senator Nelson hoped that a grassroots outcry about environmental issues might prove to Washington, D.C. just how distressed Americans were in every constituency.

   Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, Freeway and expressway revolts, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values.

   Observed in 175 countries, and coordinated by the nonprofit Earth Day Network, has helped create Earth Day organizations worldwide. The EDN believes Earth Day is now "the largest secular holiday in the world, celebrated by more than a half billion people every year." Environmental groups have sought to make Earth Day into a day of action which changes human behavior and provokes policy changes.

  Earth Day 2010 will coincide with the World People's Conference on Climate Change, to be held in Cochabamba, Bolivia, and with the International Year of Biodiversity. In observance of the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, multiple global initiatives have been created, ranging from a Global Day of Conversation with mayors worldwide, focusing on bringing green investment and building a green economy; Athletes for the Earth Campaign that brings Olympic, professional, and every day athletes' voices to help promote a solution to climate change; a Billion Acts of Green Campaign which will aggregate the millions of environmental service commitments that individuals and organizations around the world make each year; to Artist for the Earth, a campaign the involves hundreds of arts institutions and artists worldwide to create environmental awareness. Earth Day Network expects at least 1.5 billion people to participate in these global events and programs.

  Visit Wikipedia for a more extensive history, references and links. And remember, we should observe Earth Day everyday - not just one day a year.
