Fat Tree Frog sculpture
The original was sculpted in wax then using the lost wax method, cast into bronze. The frogs are cast in silver pewter.
We have these beautiful pacific tree frogs that live in the forest all around us. When I'm lucky enough to come across one I get to study their shape and form with photography and drawings, to keep a record for use in the studio.
In the winter, during a period of warm wet weather, the males will croak a single note letting us know they are out there waiting for spring to arrive.
I modeled it after a female tree frog who is a bit larger than the male.
The fat frog has a nice solid weight.
I also make this fat tree frog as a wearable brooch.
