I was terrible at microbiology but did enjoy watching things grow and become colorful. This frog reminds me of that unpredictable weird growth. He's has cream/rose splotches on a fire red and orange back with lighter legs down to white/cream toes. Great gift for a gardener, house warming gift, frog-lover, or someone who adores quirky nature decor.
Our frogs are created in a silicone mold, that leaves their upper body shiny and bold with bright colors. Due to the variations in PLA and it's reaction to the oven or the mold, you will find some areas with bubbles, but these just add character.
All our melts are hand-created, taking hours, from sorting out colors from PLA trash procured from other 3D print companies, to painstakingly adding the colors layer by layer into the mold, melting each layer before adding the next one. Every frog is absolutely unique, down to the little glitches like a random missing toe, or a spot where the filament didn't completely melt. Some of them have more bubbles than others, through the body. The bottom of frogs may not match the top, as sometimes we run out of the color we need for the main frog body. Your frog will not be perfectly whole, but it will be perfect for you and I can't wait to send it to you.
Frogs will tolerate some inclement weather, but the color will fade in constant sun, and warping may occur in sustained or repeated heat. We recommend you keep them on the covered porch in a flower pot, on a bookshelf, windowsill or shelf where you can see it frequently.
Due to the very unique aspects of our melts, our frogs are non-returnable and non-refundable. We keep the prices low on them to give them to good homes, but we hope you understand that it is impossible to completely describe every detail in the frog you are receiving.
