This little frog was inspired by the colours of Mexico, it is somewhere I would like to visit but have not done so so far. I have been watching all things Mexico on BBC iPlayer which set the scene for this jewel frog.I wanted to work with waste canvas, as an enthusiastic counted thread worker I had never used waste canvas. So this frogs skirts are embroidered with waste canvas beatles, all over. The tropical feel was enhanced with a lovely piece of tropical Liberty Lawn given as a present and just perfect for this project.
She is heavily embroidered to the body with mostly french knots and beads. Her dress is also embroidered with french knots, seed stitch and cross stitch beatles. Her sachet is a little cross stitch butterfly in tonal colours. I rather like her and I hope you do.
