Condo Le Frogge II

Hallo,

   Another Frogge Condo for you today - this one is 11 by 14. I did the background first and then added the black and white photo printed onto rice paper. The rice paper disappears into the wax and the photo part is completely covered also. 

   Encaustic wax painting. 

  The first picture is the finished painting, and the rest of the photos show the progression of the painting. The frog and the flower are painted totally with hot pens.

  I took the photo last year - took about 50 photos actually as this little frog was more than content to hang out in my calla lily flower for most of the morning. 

  All for today - Take Care

Frog Condo I

Hallo,

  A quick post before I go out and about today.

  Last spring I had a photoshoot with a little frog who decided to hang out inside one of my calla flowers. I finally got around to painting him!!!

  Did a background of sorts first, then embedded the photo printed onto rice paper into the wax. Then I completely covered the photo with wax . For the frog and other details I used a hot pen with a fine tip .

  First picture is the finished painting and then I started at the begining with the progression.

   All for today - Take Care

The Frog Days of Summer

Hallo,
As I was blog surfin yesterday, I came across a fellow stamper who is doing a RAK event for her sister who has terminal cancer. She asked for cheerful cards and her sister also likes frogs.
I sent this first card off to her this am and then finished the other 2 this afternoon - with a few more froggie cards to come, more on that in a minute....
To find out more about this RAK event and how to get involved stop by Lisa's blog here - www.bylisac.blogspot.com/2010/05/special-rak-event-for-my-sister-jayme.html

Soooo when I started looking for scrap paper to paper piece my froggie (from Gina K designs) I pulled out one here, and another one, and another one - I almost couldn't stop - when finished with my frog frenzy I will have a total of 8 frog cards LOL - these 3 were the ones I finished today.......



This first frog I colored with copics, cut him out and layered him to a green cardstock that I had ran through a Cuttlebug folder and sanded off to show the white underneath - this one using a bamboo folder and the next 2 using 2 different leaf folders.....

With the second and third cards I colored froggie and cut him out with a Spellbinders die - as well as the layer underneath with the sanded texture folder.
On all 3 I used up the last little bits of coordinating scraps as accents on the cards - along with some colored rhinestones on the last 2, baubles on the first.
Well all for tonight ya'll - dinner is on the stove and I don't want burnt chicken for dinner.....
Have a Wonderfully Froggie Day!!!!
