You guys almost have me convinced to make a cosmic brownie… 🍫 . There are so many delicious desserts that I want to frogify, but so little time!! Luckily I’ve been dreaming of these forever now, so they’re coming together quickly. Now I need to figure out how I’m gonna let these flat ones go… 🥲🍰🐸 #dessertcomesfirst #claysculpting #fruitart #frogcore #frogsculpture #artisttears

I bet this design is so niche nobody will get it… 🎪🐸 . #frogcore #potteryprocess #potterytechniques #castandaltered #claysculpting #slipdecoration #artisttears

Ice Cream & Pancakes & Cookies OH MY!🍦🍪🥞 . There are too many delicious desserts to choose from!!!! At least this next frog collection will be super sweet no matter what. Even if they’re squished!! 🍰🐸 #frogcore #frogsculpture #potterycollection #strawberryaesthetic #frogbag #frogart #fruitart #desserttiktok

I definitely prefer the soft toppers over the first version. 🍓 Going through the design process and working with @windywillow.store was so cool!! I can’t believe the strawberry frogs have almost ALL been adopted!! 😭♥️ #frogcore #frogsculpture #artprocessvideo #vinylbag #strawberryaesthetic #artisttears

I can’t believe it’s already been 6 months since I started helping @windywillow.store design a Strawberry Frog!!! 😭♥️ Time flies when you’re froggin’ 🐸 #frogcore #artprocessvideo #unboxing #strawberryaesthetic #cottagecorestyle #artisttears

How to Pack Fragile Things (Like Pottery) 📦 . I know what you’re thinking. “🫵🏻 That girl doesn’t wear SHORTS. And everyone knows. Thought you could try wearing shorts and nobody would notice? Yeah right. 😒” And it’s okay. I thought that’s what you were thinking. ANYWAYS I’ve shipped over 300 frogs and haven’t had any broken mail for the past couple of years. I totally owe that to upping my boxing game and taking the extra time to pack my art well. #potterystudio #artistproblems #potterytechniques #fragileart #tipsandhacks

Please don’t leave any strawberry frogs as orphans 😭 . @windywillow.store and I have been blown away by the reception of our frog bag collab! Seeing y’all get so excited and share your adventure pics has me so happy. My eyes are opening to how many of you kind frog lovers there are!! My heart is beyond full. THANK YOU! 🍓🐸 #frogcore #frogsculpture #artisttears #fruitart #cutepurses #strawberryaesthetic #kitsch

The most requested frog has ALWAYS been a smaller version 💕 . So to start off this new chapter, I’ll be bringing you… another frog!! (LOL) But chubbier, cuter, and completely designed by me. 🐸♥️ I see a lot of questions asking if the last frog was my design, & the answer is no and yes. The 1st frog mold was an OG vintage Duncan mold, given to me during my last artist residency. It was already in HORRID condition and falling apart. I made a silicone mother mold of the original, flaws and all, and I’ve been making my own fresh frog molds for years! After casting a toad, I have been modifying each sculpture to be my own. (ex. The vintage mold doesn’t have any details on the bottom, so I’ve sculpted thousands of frogs toes.. Aaaand some of them are turned into fruits, fairies, or whatever else is on my mind 😅) I know a lot of people are still wanting the old garden toads, so please remember that they’re not gone forever! I am just totally burnt out on this guy and am ready to move on. It’s hard for me to make production of one piece while trying to begin production on the next, so I’ve been putting this off forever. Once I start making molds of Smol frog, you guys are going to get new art from me more often. This process will give me more creative freedom!! I have a BFA where I focused on ceramics and sculpture, and I have a lot of tricks up my sleeve that you haven’t seen. If you thought the smooshed roadkill frogs were curious… I’ve got so many more cool ideas I’ve been saving up ✨ #frogcore #frogsculpture #arttimelapse #greenware #potterymolds #artistproblems #artisttears #startingover #newbeginning #smol

When 8am-8pm is your short day 🐸☠️ . I worked 12+ years in restaurants, overlapping the last 10+ years of college ➡️ being a working ceramic artist. I’m currently taking a much needed rest after going waaaaay too hard for too long. To be honest, this type of burnout situation has happened many times throughout my life, and I’m just now in a spot where I’m feeling like it makes sense. With practice, and therapy lol, I might be able manage my headspace and try to avoid such overwhelming moments. 💕 Thank you to everyone for being so kind. It’s easy for me to ignore what my brain and body need to make sure the content is on track and everyone stays happy. I promise I’ll be back soon! Just maybe a little less frequently so I don’t feel like scrambled eggs in a hot skillet 🌷🌷🌷 . #neurodivergentartist #burnoutrecovery #being30 #froglady #frogcore #potteryprocess #artisttears
