Sanael Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 About a month ago, I asked around about frog minis...thanks to those who responded to that thread. This is the more sedate of the killer frogs from Dark Heaven. My mother recently started a new job that gave her *gasp* business cards, so we made a holder for them. This was a gift to her on her birthday last month, and my dad has finally sent the pictures he took (with a much better camera than the one we usually have here!). The bulk of the holder is Hirstarts blocks, with moss made from pumice paste and water built from...maybe it was stillwater? Or Water Effects? I don't recall...Nissiana will know (since I painted the frog and she built the structure). Anywho. Here'tis. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Quite nice - now I want to build my own business card holder - only no one will see it but me, because my office is at home...<sigh> I might have to anyway... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voladilk Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Wow cool business card holder. I want one! Man I have to find a way to get Hirstarts moulds over here in Oz. And I need to find the money for it too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hinton Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Very nice card holder. The frog looks amazing! One of the better business card holders I've seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattmcl Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hmmm.... do you think a Sophie business card holder would be inappropriate in an office? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kristof65 Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hmmm.... do you think a Sophie business card holder would be inappropriate in an office? Depends on which Sophie. The 2006 xmas one would probably be ok, particularly if your co-workers think you're a snowboarder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chika Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Great business card holder. The paint job on the frog is fantastic. I would like to have one like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Great job on the holder and frog. It looks wet, very good. My mom would love a frog like that for her nicknack shelf. I tried to paint a lure "froggie" style, it din' t come out half as nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanael Posted December 15, 2006 Author Share Posted December 15, 2006 Thanks for the commentary, all. Rocky, I have to confess, much of the frog's "wet" look is due to a rather glossy finish coat. I did work up a bit of wet highlighting, but the majority of the look is due to the finish. As for what is and isn't work appropriate? I suppose it depends on what work you're doing. Celebration Sophie might be a bit much for most places, and I wouldn't recommend Urban Legend in any but the most...unusual...occupations.

Artists Wren Posted December 15, 2006 Artists Share Posted December 15, 2006 What a great gift! The frog has great natural colouration, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 What a great idea. And excellently done I might add. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vhaidra Posted December 15, 2006 Share Posted December 15, 2006 Great job on this. Your Mother must be happy. The frog turned out great, it looks so real. I especially like that you used glossy varnish for this, because here it works perfect. Great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
