The African Critters Swap


This is the critter I made. I made all the frogs out of black and red Fimo. For the basics on how to make the frog, I first experimented with Joanie's tutorial, Build A Frog w/Polymer Clay. Then I modified what I learned to match the picture I gleaned from the Internet!

"I decided to go against the normal animals one thinks of when thinking of African animals and went with a group of different critters, some which are probably familiar, some not. Hope you like them!
(the teacher in me made me do this! Lol)"

"In all honesty, it was not so successful caned elephant that led me onto thispath, but I kind of enjoyed the process of having to come up with something new, to cover for my mess. I truly hope you'll like it, despite it's way into this world. Hugs."
