I've talked with my daughter who sent me this frog. It's about 10 inches long and made of dichroic glass. I love it. I've been meaning to get something made of this glass for a long time. It's expensive glasss so I've put it off but now I have something made of it and it fits my frog collection! We talked on the phone this morning. My daughter's kids bought her a cotton candy maker - big size - not a toy!
I made myself a burnt sugar cake but I won't torture you with a photo. It sank! I had to make it from scratch as you can't find a mix for this flavor and living in some highish altitude it is really hard to get a cake to come out. Oh well, not pretty but I've had two pieces already (that's all I've eaten today so I am going to need something good for dinner and I just can't think of anything).
The other thing I was going to talk about is that journal you see in the photos. I bought this on Etsy from a fellow online artist and friend Robin Walsh. You can see what others she has here. I liked this one for the variety of page papers and sizes and I do love the fuzzy spine she makes. I've made my first journal entry which you see in the other photo. (I put her card on a hinge made of paper so I can flip it to see her etsy and other addies)! I'm going to have fun using this journal. She sent me another little treat since I was her very first customer. That is the 2" x 4 1/2" accordion fold journal. I am really happy with my purchase. By the way, her journals are all up-cycled from boxes and papers she has although if I remember right, she said she could make some with watercolor paper but this batch of books doesn't have any of that. Take a look as for mixed-media and writing they are great.
Happy Mother's Day to YOU! How great that you got one of Robin's journals! The frog is a jewel!!

Awesome frog.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for the well-wishes, and right back to you (even tho it's a day late). Our internet speed was terrible yesterday (worse than ever), but we did manage to see our grandsons on Skype for a few minutes. I love your frog, and the journals are really, really, nice! nancy
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment on my blog. You made my day. I've been trying to figure out how to abstract things and every once in awhile I have a tiny "ah ha" moment. And yes the red ones are my favorite also.
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm late, but happy mother's day to you! Love the frog!
ReplyDeleteBelated happy Mother's Day to you, too. (Can you tell I'm behind on my blog reading?) I love the journal--it's so cool. The fuzzy spine makes me think of a spiky haircut! It's so fun looking, I'll be you'll enjoy filling it.
