Happy (belated) Frankentoad Friday! Finally finished digitizing the Toad-Rex I made up with my gf’s very cute 4yo nephew on the way back from the airport. Think I should color him? 🐸🦖🎨✨

Stop looking like a purse. How could a purse squeeze under the rickety door and sit, full of satisfaction, in a man's house?

You clamber towards me on your four corners - right hand, left foot, left hand, right foot.

I love you for being a toad, for crawling like a Japanese wrestler, and for not being frightened.

I put you in my purse hand, not shutting it, and set you down outside directly under every star.

A jewel in your head? Toad, you've put one in mine, a tiny radiance in a dark place.

It’s been a while since I’ve made a frog, so here’s two!! They’re twins I made yesterday. I recently got a bag of zippers from a thrift store and wanted to make some pouch or purse-type things with them. I’ve seen a lot of pictures of coin purses and stuff in the shape of animals with the zipper closure as the mouth, so I wanted to try that out as well. 

Since the look of the zippers make their mouths look kinda big and toothy, I decided to name them mouth-related words: ☆ Gob ☆ and ✧ Chops ✧ (Gob is on the left, Chops is on the right). Despite being slightly smaller, Gob is the slightly older sibling and Chops is the younger brother. 

I used the same two types of fabric on both of them, but used them on alternating sides (the fabric I used for one’s underside is what I used for the other’s top side, and vice versa). 

The pattern I used is the same as all my other frogs, with three pieces (two curved-seam half pieces for the top, one whole piece for the bottom). But I sewed a zipper into their mouths and fitted a round pouch around the inner mouth that goes inside to line them. I did also stuff them a bit before sewing in the lining, but not too much, just enough so they don’t look to deflated when they’re not holding anything. 

I’m glad that using the zippers worked out so well, since it was my first time sewing with them. These guys are now valued members of my hand made frog hoard!! <|:^) I’m looking forward to having them as keepers of my trinkets and treasures! .♡⋆˙⊹˚₊·
