This is Willow, the first frog sale of the year. She has gone to Ambleside in the Lake District, nice and damp with lots of her favourite beetles. I was asked to dress her in a willow pattern fabric as the family concerned live by the river with a large willow dominating their garden. Quite naturally I went for a reproduction willow pattern by William Morris, with spotty legs and matching petticoats she makes a fine frog.
Willow is hand painted with lots of hand embroidered french knots and running stitches. She stands fourteen inches tall and is pleasingly plump. She carries a hand embroidered sachet with a beetle on it just in case she is hungry!
