    I saw those on the Garden Junk side, they are so amazing!!! Glad you posted them here too! I've looked at them a few times in the last few days and was thinking how ingenius you were with the eye idea! Can't wait to see the others you plan on making! Do tell everyone here all about how this is done!!!

    Oh it's JUST so ADORABLE !!! ( I almost croaked when I saw it)!!!

    Did you use the tops of those candle jars for the eyes? .. I keep saving them and have not thought to use them as this!!!!!
    SO very clever

    Well, isn't that the neatest thing! You gotta tell us how you did that, I love him!

    Well how clever and darlin'. Yes ma'am, this is the place to post, and I hope you'll stick around to post more. Welcome. Could those be cup handles you attached and covered. Great idea on the whole thing.

    Absolutely you should post here... and WELCOME! :)
    Your frog is so cute!!! And clever, too! You sure added personality by giving him those big eyes and the legs! I'm also interested in how you did it!

    Thanks everyone! I have been visiting this site for along time.
    I used glass tea light holders for the eyes that I purchased at the dollar store, and three different sizes of green gems to help define the warts you can even put gems on top of gems to get even a better wort effect.I used large clear gems for the eye balls painted on one side and slipped them in the tea light holders. When I glued the smaller gems around the edge and on the back the eyes had a green cast.They looked really good.
    the stand that it is on was used for the legs and they were wrapped with screen to glue the gems on. The bowling ball is easy to drill holes in, so I was able to cut the legs off of the stand and insert them. I used a coat hanger for the tongue. I got the stand at family dollar for 1.00 and the gems at dollar tree.I hope you like them I tried to make them look as if they were jumping. I also left the thumb hole in the BB so I can put the frog on a pole jumping over my pond.I gave one away for a Christmas present and I really hated to see him go, he was a prince!!!
    Thanks again,
    Rochelle
