A 'Naked' Angel Prototype
|
The HK House of Peers, Harmony Ball Company and Martin Perry presented this rare and unique angel prototype in our fourth special charity event. The auction offering A 'Naked' Angel on eBay, will aid the American Red Cross' efforts with disaster relief.
As a benefit to the victims of Hurricane Floyd, the proceeds from this auction goes directly to the American Red Cross. The winds were gone, but Floyd's path of destruction continued to grow. Hurricane victims, and flood victims in North and South Carolina, are receiving assistance from the American Red Cross with shelter, food and comfort.
We are proud to help in the American Red Cross' $25 Million Campaign for Hurricane Floyd Disaster Operations.

Harmony Kingdom Naked Angel Prototype CHARITY
 This extremely rare prototype is the work of the famed "Toolshed Associates," best known for carving several of the popular Chapter One Harmony Garden pieces and Y2HK.
The angel wears a red shirt and black collar. Inside, a man appears, encircling her by the ankles, to prevent her from flying up to the heavens - out of his grasp forever.
According to Martin Perry, HBC originally intended to launch a line of "risqué" angels. However, they were never produced for retail sale because "they were a little too exciting." Eleven remain in existence; only one wearing a red shirt. Martin assures that this is a one-of-a-kind item he painted himself.
