Description
A gift for this seed bead, peyote-stitch frog took me almost the entire summer to complete (due to various mis-starts and my complete lack of experience with peyote-stich). It's a little messy, but I like the end result. It came from a pattern by Sharon Bateman in the June issue of Bead and Button. I only changed a few things - the color of the frog's body and eye are switched, and I added more greenery and changed the color of some of the flowers, but the pattern is largely the same.Related content

Holy wow, I didn't realize it was beading originally! I thought it was cross stitch or something like that! I'm very impressed, it turned out so well! And the color choices you made are great too - I love the blues in the background especially.

Thanks! Now I'm wishing I could redo this one, because I could make the thread so much smoother, but my friend is still happy with it, so I guess I have to leave it alone

ALL summer it DID take! such determination..yes. I appreciate all the effort and lovingly chosen 'mascot' that you made for me.
I will hang it as a room decoration, maybe by the window so the light can shine through it...Do you have any ideas of what kind of fixture I can put it on?

You can probably thread a thin-gauge wire through the topmost beads and hang it that way.
