I was thinking of technique etc. while Morris was enjoying his morning cuddle before we got up to face the busy day... Last night when I was looking at gold fabric I ran across a piece of antiqued gold lace which would be perfect for the back (once embellished)...
I will work the frog itself on a hoop and put all the layers down (3 colors of tulle and lace) and cut away as I couch the cording... (Mola style)
I will have to work on his mouth a bit.... He looks too happy and I don't want a cartoon frog.
Surprise, surprise! How exciting to see my blocks.

But, to answer your question...I have no fear of frogs and love your idea. (who wouldn't?) I have a frog that lives on our deck and some that croak out by the water garden that I love to listen to at night with the windows open. Also have a whimsical frog solar light out in the garden. So...stitch on.
I have to tell you...I saw your comment on the work I did on Kerry's goldwork and you mistook the roses for a beetle so my artwork, stitching and/or photography leaves a lot of room for interpretation.

in case you are interested.
Looks like a good plan Ger. And my favorite...? I think life would be a lot better for all of us if we had a lame lily pad!!
ReplyDeleteI think one of the reasons I like your work so much is that you use curved lines a lot. And what a gorgeous frog. I can hardly wait to see him stitched. Too bad Cathy likes frogs (grin)
