Description
For #Plushie-Database 's Balls Contest: [link]EDIT: This won 1st place. Thank you, everybody who voted for me.
So, first time I mixed so many crafting techniques for one project. Sewing, crocheting and beading. Wow...
The frog turned out a little grumpy. Not sure why. Oh well, maybe the princess is not to his liking?
And I'm learning to really dislike felt for sewing. Couldn't stuff the ball as tightly as I wanted (to avoid ripping), which made the thing a little lumpy. Sewing the stars onto the ball was difficult, too (also because of the ripping potential). Should have put the stars on the felt pieces before sewing. Should I ever make something similar, I'll know better.
Patterns/References:
Ball: [link]
Frog: [link] (modified)
Big star: [link]
Small star and crown are my own design.
Material:
- felt (for ball)
- yarn (for frog)
- beads (2mm for crown and stars, 5mm for eyes)
- polyester filling (for ball and frog)
- wire (for frog limbs)
Frog and golden ball together are 10.5cm (4.5") tall.
Arrangement made with fake flowers and circular folding paper.

"Here's your stupid golden ball." Haha, this is amazing technically as well as funny, I'm glad his face turned out grumpy and you let it stay that way because it adds such personality to the whole piece!

Ahh, so cool!! I love this fairy tale. I know exactly what this was even when I saw the thumbnail. (Partially because I did a grpahic design project on this fairytale, lol.)
Using so many different medias is really neat. I especially love that you made an environment for him up at the top.

I saw the thumbnail of this the other day but I didn't do more than glance then today I clicked and I'm glad I did! This is so amazing, I can't believe all the detail you got in and the great combination of techniques

thanks.
yeah, I'm a sucker for details. sometimes it's good, if it leads to results like this one. but sometimes it's bad, because it tends to be so time-consuming.
this time it worked out quite well, though. finished it over one weekend only. that's faster than I had feared.

wenn's um echte tiere geht, würde ich den frosch dem skorpion vorziehen. und das bild hier ist bunter. ich bin von sowas leicht beeinflussbar.
