Description: 1 New in the Box Harmony Kingdom Picturesque Tile from Noah's Park - Tilt-A-Whirl Tile for Decoration, Tiling, Wall Accent or Magnet! As shown in the pictures Tilt-A-Whirl The octopus dominates this tile figurine, but look closely. He's into body piercing and has a tattoo done in the best navel tradition. On one of his tentacles he wears a diver's watch by which he can time his attacks on the meerkats waiting for the loo. At the back of the queue, a female meerkat flirts with one of the lads, showing off her designer handbag. His compadre standing alongside is unimpressed. He's wielding a stick to pin down the tentacle before it whisks him away. The two nearest the loo have the call of nature to fight off. This is going to be difficult as the doorway is barred with another of the tentacles slipped into the door handle. Notice where the outflow pipe leads.

Some Information form the Company's Web site about how and when these tiles came into Creation. Picturesque: 1999 During the Rosemont International Collectible Exposition in 1997, the idea of wall plaques first occurred to Martin. He had been talking to collectors throughout the day, and several said that they were having trouble fitting more collectibles into their curio cabinets. Ever the opportunist, Martin thought about all that empty wall space. "Two things excited me about the idea," says Martin. "The first was that we could carve a tile in relief, which would by itself be an attractive addition to any collector's arsenal. Yet even better, this single tile could then be part of a larger scheme. We could carve other tiles that would expand the original image into a larger and larger picture. In other words, people could own one, two, five or twenty tiles, whatever suited them. The other equally exciting aspect to this idea was that the subject matter would be limitless." Ann Richmond carved the first series in the Picturesque™ Collection, "Noah's Park," and Peter lent his hand to the centerpiece tile, "The Lost Ark." The series took a full year to finish. "It is a ravishing visual image full of humor and the typically enigmatic Harmony Kingdom detail," says Martin. Inspired by the result, Ann created a second series, "Byron's Secret Garden." Both series premiered in March 1999 at the International Coverings Show in Orlando Florida. "Noah's Park" was first introduced to collectors the following week at the first stop on the "Picturesque Tour" and "Byron's Secret Garden" at the Long Beach Collectibles Exposition in April. In September 1999, pre-production tile figurines of "Wimberley Tales," the third series in the Picturesque Collection, were premiered at the final two Picturesque events in the U.S. Carved by Mark Ricketts, this spectacular pastiche of a medieval deep relief carving portrays the fictional town of Wimberley, named after Wimberley Mills. In addition to a variety of Picturesque accessories to showcase one to twenty tiles, stand-alone tile figurines have been carved. Peter's "Storm Brewing" and Ann's "Ruffians' Feast" and "Purrfect Tidings" have been enthusiastically received. With Picturesque, Harmony Kingdom has created its second collectible category - tile figurines.
