Available NOW Frogs

Most frogs I make are commissioned. These few are available now.

Brindley – loves messing about on the water. Has been know to go narrow boating.
Delano – look, I don’t choose the names they whisper them to me!
Remy. Has a beautiful chunky Xmas jumper.
Franklin – the star of his own book. Franklin is always available either with or without his book – he is knitted to order
Mercury; a bit of a rock star entertainer

Florence and Arthur – hippy sunflower twins. Available separately or together.
Yohan – a very proper Scottish laird
Nutmeg – a medium sized frog. A bit of a skater dude who enjoys retro film photography.

Below are pending froglets in various states of being.

All froglets start out in the Frog Pool of Life before becoming a Knitted One. These below are just waiting their turn. If they are fancied I can turn to finishing them almost immediately.

Variegated yarn froglets in two sizes
A new variegated version, requiring arms.

The Spiel.

So to the main preamble ….

The small frogs stand around 3.5 inches tall. The taller ones approximately 5.5 inches. Hugh is even taller. I say stand, they balance quite nicely with shoes. They do have metal armature in them for gentle posing which means they are not suitable at all for children under 14 (just in case) If the armature is repeatedly bent a lot it will eventually snap. The small ones are generally knitted from alpaca wool, the taller ones generally acrylic, all have safety eyes that are no longer officially safe as I had to cut the backs down to fit in their heads. The shoes do come off but they won’t stand without them. The best way to help them stand is the hold the feet to the ground and wobble the body gently. I charge an adoption fee of around £65 per frog to keep in line with the law on collectibles (otherwise I would have to have them all CE tested, they won’t pass due to the metal in them and it’s an excessively expensive process) in the UK. They all come with, clothes, a crocheted blanket and pillow, and some little extras that I tend to theme to the frog itself. (Cost may very rarely change depending on clothing and accessories.) Postage is £5.50 for the UK. For elsewhere it is at international postage costs and possibly plus tariffs. Payment is either through PayPal or BACS bank transfer (UK only) when you are happy with what I’ve made.
