Boy on a swing ornament

The hand-crafted indoor ornament evokes memories of simpler, happier times and makes a striking addition to a shelf or desktop. Handmade and rich in tiny details, it’s more than a model — it’s a small escape into a quieter, gentler moment in time. Perfect for shelves and desktops.

The model is crafted from dark wood, hollowed out to form a recess for a pond. Layers of resin tinted with colourant were poured and left to cure, creating the impression of deep, still water. A tree was then shaped and positioned so it leans out over the pond, with a tiny boy and a swing carefully. Surrounding vegetation, reeds, flowers and foliage were added, along with fallen branches typical of river and pond banks. Finally, a miniature Raleigh Chopper bicycle — a nod to the 1970s — was placed against the tree.
