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.

I've put a piece of wood on the handle of my carvin jack. A better grip, I think.

Sorry Murph... I wasn't even aware this visitor feature existed and have missed your message for almost a month. If it's still not too late check out my post on the following thread. http://www.woodcarvingillustrated.co...al-show-29180/
