Bullfrog... cute creature! - Page 2 - Scroll Saw Woodworking & Crafts Message Board

Hi again Henri - I'm glad Jeff also picked on the mouth. I was starting to feel a small guilt complex coming on.

One curious thing though. I often spend time with our 7 year old watching his favourite cartoons on Cartoon Network. He loves them although to me many are disgusting in how they concentrate on characters with runny noses, vomiting everywhere and generally behaving grossly - obviously a generation gap here ! And one thing a lot of these characters have in common are strange facial expressions speaking out of the side of their face. Maybe your 'bully' inherited this trait!

Methinks best stick to Disney type bullfrogs eh!

K-ROC, K-ROC, K-ROOOOOOC!

@Jim & Jeff: I agree with you on the mouth, I think the line was there to show the lip of the frog. I shouldn't have cut there... shaping alone would have done the job OR a full cut to make it a lip all the way across the mouth, could have worked too.
I should have asked for input before making 2 frogs the exact same way

...you all come up with great suggestions and comments. Thanks!

Hi Henri -
I know you like me to put a smile on your face - but how's about me putting one on 'bully's face too!

PS - Watch for 10 sec from opening this post
Unfortunately this will keep repeating - much as frogs and toads do!

@Jim: Ha Ha Ha this is so kewl! I have no clue how you did that and I am impressed! Boy oh boy, you will never stop making me laugh! You are the "greatest humourus therapist" I have ever known!

Great work!

Henri, Denny - put this one down to a bit of Mexican based magic and an inspired 10 mins of fun to relieve a particularly hard day.

And Henri, the mouth at it's widest point is probably what i would have chosen to cut to - but take this with a pinch of salt - I'm no expert!

PS - Still like 'bully' nevertheless!

Tony - mission accomplished! - just don't ask me to get him to step dance - LOL!

Wow..that's really great Jim. Quite funny. Extending that mouth like that made such a huge difference too. Live and learn!
