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.

obwohl der gesichtsausdruck ja unbeabsichtigt war. hab mir aber gerade sagen lassen, dass das fΓΌr einen frosch wohl normal wΓ€re.
und freut mich, dass er dir gefΓ€llt.

thank you.
I'm really happy with how this turned out, even if I'm now determined never to make a felt ball again...
first time I made an amigurumi with a 1.5mm hook. and the frog still turned out larger than I thought. makes me wonder how big he'd be, had I used my usual yarn and 2.5mm hook.
