Fairy-Tale Frog

[JoeVM]

This little frog is from the pattern by Bob Hershey in the summer 2017 WCI. I sure enjoyed carving him. I made him about 2/3 size.

Joe... The carving is fantastic but that frog is vying for the ugliest frog I've ever see. Nice job! Reminds me of the Toad from Toad Hall, "Wind in the Willows!"

Gee Eddy, I thought he was kind of cute. Thanks for your comment.
Thanks Merle, JoeB, & Claude.
Thanks Wayne, I don't know, but he has some growing under his seat.

Is that paint or stain for the colors?

Is that paint or stain for the colors?

It's acrylic paint.

Sorry Joe! That was meant to be funny! Maybe Irma has warped my sense of humor! It still doesn't change the fact that it's an excellent carve.

You did a fantastic job on that one Joe, both carving and painting. It is on my bucket list to carve that frog some day.

[Tinwood]

Now I really LIKE him Joe! That's a great piece of work.

That is one wise ol' frog. Wonderfully done Joe. I love frog carvings.

[JoeVM]

Don't worry Eddy, I wasn't offended. I can see some ugly in him too.
Thanks Herb. I think I will do more caricature animals.
Thanks Tinwood.
Thanks Terry. Is it the pipe that makes him look wise?

That's a magnificent carving, Joe! Carving, painting and detail are all excellent! I saw that pattern in WCI and it looks very challenging. Great job!
