Frogs, (left) In the 70's and early 80's My wife and I use to travel a circuit for gifts and jewelry shows. On top of that we did the Renaissance Fair, State Fair and Portland Saturday Market. I was known as the "Frog Man" because I created small, medium and very large soapstone frogs. This particular frog weight over 160 pounds and stood 32" high and 18" wide. with a little frog piggy-backed on his leg. The eyes were inlaid and the webbed feet were supported with brass welding rods. This went home with some folks in Coos Bay, all I can remember is the mans first name was Bob. "Frogoyle" of 1979

The artwork to the right is piece in the works, it is close to the final casting, again in oil based clay, a Japanese float and marbles. I  have the mold with the intent of the casting to be made in acrylic the only final decision to be made is how to illuminate the work from inside to make the float and marble glow with in the cast. So at this time until I can figure out the details the rubber mold is sitting. I have over 100 hours into this work and I started it in 1992. To be completed?
