Oophaga Pumilio

I started working on a batch of paper sculpture poison frogs a couple years ago.  My intent was to make 100 of them!  I made it to frog number 4 when work started on the polymer clay pieces.  Here is poison frog number 1, Oophaga Pumilio "Darkland Blue".  I would like to continue working on this project someday.  These colorful little creatures are just amazing!

  1. Frogs are so cool. What draws you to them? Do you think they could be your totem animal?

    Here's a quick list of what they represent:
    Luck
    Purity
    Rebirth
    Renewal
    Fertility
    Healing
    Metamorphosis
    Transitions
    Dreaming
    Opportunity

    So to recap, frogs are cool, as are your frog sculptures!

  2. I am definately a few things on this list, but, Luck? I don't know about that one. I'm doing Frog Week next week. It's kinda like Shark Week, but with less teeth!
