Here is my little french froggie prince. I got rather carried away making him. He was made a a present for my nans 85th birthday. As a kid I would always bring here a little model frog on each visit until she accumulated quite a lot. Weirdly she does not know how it started as she didn't even collect frogs? But the theme has stuck so I made this rather dappa and swish frog for her.
