I swiped/borrowed your frog idea. I saw the post about copyright, and I don't know your opinion.

I make jewelry, carve wood with idea to switch over to carving stone. Small items of semi-precious stones.

I do it for fun. What I don't keep I give to friends and family. I don't sell. If I did I'd have to satisfy customers and that would not be fun.

The frog, look in gallery of Hoogie, is a fun carve and I did it differently then you did. I and my friends have kids and grandkids and of course picture covered refrigerators. So I'm planning to make several all carved in a different manner.

I experimented using plain old water color paint on bare wood. It didn't cover like I expected, but the mottled appearance was more appropriate for a frog. Then I gave it a poly coat.

I'm sorry if I upset you. I going to try and create a funny looking Teddy Bear for some more refrig magnets. So if you like the TB's you can swipe my design.
