Artist's Comments

This is a project from my Fiber Arts class I am taking this semester. It is my second needle felted project and my first three dimensional needle felted project. It is made out of styrofoam, wire, and hand dyed wool. It's not 100% finished yet but it's looking great so far. I'm thinking about adding black spots sort of like these ones. [link]
I don't have any black wool at the moment or dye to make black wool. I ordered some Jacquard acid dye and hope to get it sometime next week in order to add on the spots and make the eyes black. The eyes will also need white glares to make them more realistic.
After the froggie is finished I will be making a large split leaf philodendron [link] for it to sit on. The leaf will be my final project. :)

If anyone could make me a better person, you could. All I've gotta say is I must've done something good.

Hey it's George! lol I saw one of these guys when I went to Jatun Sacha and sure enough it was sitting next to a Giant Philodendron tree like the one you're making. We named him george and no one else wanted to touch him so I had to let him go and wash my hands. I can't wait to see the final product in all its glory Ev. Good job, he/she/it looks gorgeous so far. keep up the good work.
