Bronze toad bottle opener...at least it will be later.

Future bronze bottle opener...

I been busy testing my Frogoholic metal master, with very satisfying results!

What you see here is its toad cousin.

I have a cunning plan for this toad bottle opener, which is currently a wax and clay model ready for molding before creating bronzes.

...I'll go into more detail once I have a few cast...

Besides that, my Winged Angel Mice are still available for a half price pre-order on Kickstarter (click HERE to see more).

It's my second Kickstarter project.
I had a blast first time, and I have to say I love their whole win-win concept.

I'd like to offer another huge thanks again to you if you participated last time or have collected my work through galleries or my Etsy store.
You are making it possible for me to do what I love to do.

And also a big thanks to anyone who's reading my blog and enjoying my handiwork!

I can't speak for other artists, but I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ego gets a tickle every time someone likes what they do!

James Bond, beer, and tree frogs.

Frogoholic - raw bronze (no patina yet)

Frogoholic - raw bronze (no patina yet)

It's fun combining things I like, so I'm combining
• my bronze wall hanging tree frog,
• secret James Bond-like gadgetry, and
• beer...
to make Frogoholic!

It's the wall mounted tree frog that's now also a stealth bottle opener.

What could be more fun than that?!

Unassuming wall mounted tree frog, soon to become weaponized to 'Frogoholic'...

Frogoholic has yet to receive its patina, and is currently still in the testing phase, since I want to make sure the bronze doesn't get all chewed up after opening bunches of bottles.

I call it research and development.
Then, a bit later, I call it searurch and dvelelopment...

Then, assuming the metal holds up nicely, I'll get some made, probably with a yellowish green patina and send them off to M-I-5...

'Right, now do pay attention double-O seven...'
'Excellent, just the thing for unwinding after a rough day at the office.'

Frogoholic patina options- I think I like second down on the right best...or possibly top left...what do you think?
