This frog is diving in. It also looks like it is doing something called kaoshiki, which is a dance created by my Guru, which is the Guru of Ananda Marga.
Just sitting on the ground chillaxin’.
I guess that is what he is doing. Sometimes I don’t know until after I have finished the piece.
He is trying to reach his toes while standing and with one leg up in the air. He hasn’t quite got it.
He started out being a yippie froglet – then I thought he was a little over the top, rather, a yikes froglet.
I make each one, one at a time. So I am always trying to vary things and make them doing different things and having different expressions.
She is a little ballerina. She has eyelashes and a skirt.
I like the expressive hands. I always try to get a lot of expression in the hands. I like the way his mouth turned out from a side view.
Sometimes I don’t know what I am going to make. I mean, I know it is going to be a frog – but what kind of frog? So, I had the body of this froglet, and the head, and I asked him, “What do you want to be? What do you want to be doing?” He said, “I dunno.” So that’s what I made him doing.
This took quite awhile to build. I like how it turned out, though. I got the idea from these guys who make “flea” sculptures out of steel. This was my translation into my medium. Very heartwarming.
This froglet is holding a branch with a new leaf on it.
