Amigurumi Frog



Well, a sweet buddy of mine reminded me of a cute froggy prince that I made years ago and got me in the mood to try my hand at my own design of an amigurumi frog.

I've been working on him today. And although he "could" be called finished, I'm not quite happy with how he looks. He currently looks like the first picture, but I want him to look like the second picture.

So I need to figure out how to make that mouth. I find that embroidering on crochet just simply doesn't work well at all. The stitches tend to go wonky and it doesn't look neat. So I don't think that's the answer.

Tomorrow I start sculpting Christi's Wednesday Adams doll, so I thought that while I was sculpting her, I could have a piece of black felt that I use fabric stiffener on, drying. My thoughts are that if I use the stiffener, I'll be able to cut it out nice and neat without the edges fuzzing out. Then I can stitch or glue it to my amigurumi.

I'll try the same thing with the pupils. Wish me luck!!

Thanks for reading :o)
