Pale Frog in a Bright World

Description

The frog understood the concept of camouflage. But the other frogs were all nice soft greens that matched just perfectly with the leaves and lily pads and soft green pond moss.
Well, except the ones that had the bright warning colors, and they didn’t worry about being eaten, because there was a reason for bright warning colors, after all.
The little pale frog wasn’t poisonous, and didn’t have bright warning colors. But it didn’t blend anywhere except in sand and gravel, either, and that’s hard on a frog. So it borrowed the boldness of its red-striped choirmates and stood against the greenest leaves. If it was going to stand out, it would stand out as much as a frog could.

This little frog pendant would be happy to share the attention it gets. Hanging on a necklace or watching over a book, even hanging from a light pull, would be perfectly fine, so long as it's somewhere out of the water. There's hungry fish there, you know!

Polymer clay and acrylic glaze. 3 inches long from top of loop to tip of leaf, 2 inches wide from side to side. Ships with a ribbon in your choice of color, to hang at the neck, beck, or call of your choice. Handmade by me and the leaves in my yard!
