A Handsome Frog Indeed!

a a

My frog prince is coming along swimmingly.... and a handsome fellow he is indeed...  The antique lace was the perfect texture for his skin...

I took a lot of pictures of the process and will do a step-by-step tomorrow (or Saturday)... But I was working with 6 layers... interfacing, gold fabric, 3 layers of gold tulle and a layer of gold lace on top... And of course I used my cut-away transfer technique and found the perfect way to explain it better.    I took him with me today to a bridge luncheon and stitched before and after lunch, when my partner was declarer, and in the car coming and going... I hope to have him off to Australia by Monday.

I love the effect of layered tulle. They were different shades of gold and varying degrees of glitter...I must use it again soon..  So he is ready to cut out now and be sewn onto his lily pad...

Here's a scan of him pinned to his pad.... And don't you think he really needs a crown?
