I was looking for some green felt and came across a UFO that I had forgotten about. It was a pattern given to me as a prize on an online doll club that sadly no longer exists. I recall that the competition I entered was about fairy tales. I made this doll.
The Princess and the Pea.....
So naturally the prize was about a fairy tale....the Frog Prince. This is a design by Cynthia Treen.

I got this far with him then.....
After I started working on it again I remembered that I had issues making the eyeballs. Why I had started with them after making the arms...who knows. They were still a pain to make.
The whole frog is completely sewn by hand with itty bitty stitches. The toes and fingers....arrgghhh.....LOL
Anyway....he is finished and awaiting his Princess.
Take care and stay safe :)
Hi Mary Ann wow your princess is beautiful and boy what a wonderful job you have done of the frog,well done my friend on your beautiful work xx
ReplyDeleteThank you very much :)
ReplyDeleteHe's so cute.
ReplyDeleteThank You :)
DeleteI had to chuckle at your "Not a pincushion" title! What delicate work to hand sew all the pieces of the frog but now that he is done I can't help but say that he seems to have a very smug look on his face.....as though when that princess comes he just knows she is going to kiss him!
ReplyDeleteHe does seem rather pleased with himself :)
DeleteI think you frog looks nicest!
ReplyDeleteLove the princess! The bed looks really interesting!
Hugs,
Barbara xx
Thank you :) The bed has a lot of pillows or "mattresses" to make it high just as in the fairy tale.
DeleteThe princess is really lovely, what a sad face she has. The frog has turned out perfect too and must have been difficult to make, love his crown.
ReplyDeleteThank you:) The frog was not easy to make. Very fiddly.
ReplyDeleteI also made that frog ages ago, with his umbrella. It's still one of my favourite felt creations. I don't recall the eyes being a challenge, but the fingers and toes, oh my word!
ReplyDeleteDid you have a look at Cynthia Treen's website recently? She's made a few really enticing new patterns, and her blog is stuffed with tips for working with felt.
Your frog turned out beautiful!
