Have you ever started out making a bead and just not have it turn out as you intended?Meet my scary Christmas frog. Holy cow, this one is a doozy. Not only is he ugly, but he's quite large too.
I am not sure what was going through my head when I thought a frog with a Santa hat would be fun to make. I think part of it was the color juxtaposition of the green frog playing against the red hat. And I wanted to try the horizontal line for his eyes. Well as you can see, the glass experiment got out of hand. I have more photos shown in my etsy shop listing. I listed him because there might be someone else who would enjoy laughing at him too.
Too large, really funny looking, not shaped right and a huge pink tongue sticking out. I don't know how I missed adding a bug or a Christmas candy to the end of it. But in the end, this bead really makes me giggle. Yes, he's funny looking, but some days my beads are so ugly, I just have to laugh. Have you ever made a bead that affected you that way?
And who knows, if the right person kisses him, maybe he'll turn into a Prince?
He's pretty funny Marcy!! ;o)
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been there too! Just as bad is when you are working with colours and forget what they are going to look like when they cool down - I've done some doozies!
Yikes! And yet...he has a certain creepy/adorable charm. Besides, he does make you giggle and that counts for something, right?
ReplyDeleteMarcy, he's a cutie! I noticed him in your Etsy mini in the sidebar, and he's given me a giggle every time I see him :) There's something about his eyes and those bushy eyebrows that reminds me of someone! I hope he gets rescued and slathered with kisses because I think he is a prince in disguise!
ReplyDeleteI must admit I dont like frogs, and I'm afraid I agree he is rather ugly but very funny too. As to making hideous beads,gosh I have done quite a few to date!!
ReplyDeleteDon't think I'll try kissing that frog. So ugly he's cute. On second thought a little peck couldn't hurt.
