For today's project, I decided to make a couple more frogs. This is the first time that I've tried to reproduce one of my previous creations. I kind of had mixed emotions about doing this, but I've had several people request frogs. So, if it is frogs they want, it is frogs they will get. Luckily I keep a file with my previous art work and renderings. It really does make it easier to do the same piece again.

After transferring the drawing to my
already prepared frame, I then began gluing. I usually start with the central subject of the piece and then move to the background. That way if I mess something up, I haven't wasted a lot of time.

Gluing the Frog |
And after I completed frog number one I started immediately on frog number two.

And after gluing the glass tiles, I prepared the project for grouting using masking tape.

And here we have the artist holding both frogs.

And here is the final of "Frog Bog"
