a gaggle of frogs (on Google), Or, I just Googled a gaggle of frogs

It’s a copper frog party. These fellas are all going to Native Threads, a shop in Durham, NC. I don’t mind telling you how I made them. I was only able to make all these small and smallish mid-size frogs so quickly because I had a lot of spare parts hanging around. I once had an employee who thought at first I was crazy (well, that’s another matter) because I made a lot of spare parts and then would not use them. Eventually I used all the spare parts and my employee realized I knew what I was doing.

Spare parts… They work well for the kind of thing I do. It’s not always the way to go. No, sir. Many frogs that I build are strictly no spare parts. But when you are welding, taking parts and putting them together, yeah, spare parts can work. And make for some creativity, which is – well, I cannot say it is always nice to be creative, because it is not – but sometimes it’s nice. You know, because it’s art.
