I finally got around to making the harness. I modeled it after several real harnesses for wagons, but clearly, it is not a reproduction in every detail. It merely has elements that invoke several harness types. Here's a close up of my handiwork.
I used some of my wife's beading finishings to make the attachments from the harness to the rest of the wagon. I added two rings to the top of the harness to run the reins through. I really like the effect of the silver rings and crabclaw clips. It isn't a harness unless there are metal rings and clips.
Now for a shot of the whole wagon with horse, completed. I may still make a seat cushion for the back seat. But it may have to wait a while.
