I have a shop!

So in my last post I showed a soft toy frog and talked about selling them on Etsy. Well I have worked on the design over the last couple of weeks and now my store is live! https://www.etsy.com/au/shop/MyFrogCrafts

25% of all sales will go towards helping the Australian Corroboree Frog. These distinct yellow and black frogs are dying off at an alarming rate largely due to the Chytrid fungus. It is thought that numbers in the wild are now as low as 50 although with the recent bushfire crisis it could now be even lower.
Sydney’s Toronga Zoo currently has a breeding program for these little guys and this is where the donation will be going, if you would like to make an additional donation follow this link – https://zooshop.taronga.org.au/appeal/corroboree-frog-appeal-1

Soft frog

So I have been thinking about creating an Etsy store lately and selling some frog related things I create on there. This is the first stage of planning for a plushy/stuffed toy that I am designing. It’s not quite there yet, I have some issues with the legs and overall time it took to put together (also ignore the rough stitching, once I get the design sorted out it will all look much cleaner).

His name is Ribbert
On a side note, I actually quite liked the more simple version before I added the eyes.

I’m back (maybe)

It’s been a while since I last posted, been working on some other stuff and just relaxing a bit more, posting every day was starting to get a bit stressful.

So yeah, I’m going to start posting again but not every day, I’m going to aim for 2-3 times a week.

Here is a Lemur tree frog.

Clawed

There are many verities of frogs and toads, I think the African Clawed Frog is one of the more interesting and unique ones.

Comical

I’ve hit a bit of a speed bump with my comic lately, I’m not entirely sure that this is actually the style I want to keep or not. I don’t have many completed pages yet so changing it now isn’t going to be too much of a problem but I’ve just been taking a bit of break to see how I feel about the style when I come back to it (even looking back at it again now, I am quite liking it and I think it will be what I end up going with).

Anyway this is from one of the earliest pages in the book and the only one I’ve really got to a completed state (minus text).
