The African Critters Swap

This is the critter I made. I made all the frogs out of black and red Fimo. For the basics on how to make the frog, I first experimented with Joanie's tutorial, Build A Frog w/Polymer Clay. Then I modified what I learned to match the picture I gleaned from the Internet!

Red-Banded Rubber Frog Phrynomerus Bifasciatus Family Microhylidae Nocturnal, early breeder, calls from banks or on floating vegetation. Call is a beautiful melodious trill, lasting for several seconds. Eggs laid in large mass on water surface; tadpoles have a unique shape. Skin is toxic, during dry season takes refuge in tree hollows and burrows. Size to 3 inches.

Hope you like them! (the teacher in me made me do this! Lol)"

I truly hope you'll like it, despite it's way into this world. Hugs."
