Toadem Pole: It's a totem pole made of frogs (or toads)...

Wax and clay original of my toadem pole

I've been having far too much fun playing with my home grown building blocks, as you can see!

The top frog is a double header.
Besides sporting a pair of wings (it is a totem pole after all) the toad in pole position is looking forwards and backwards at the same time.



Looks to me like it might also make for a very unusual rapier handle...

...or candlestick holder...

...or a fire stoker handle...

...you know once you start making things, you just keep coming up with more things to make!

Sprightly is also becoming a winged mouse...

Winged Sprightly Mouse

I suspect all my mice will eventually sprout wings, but here's a wax version of Sprightly sporting a fine feathered set of wings.
Destined to be bronze with a silver patina when all's said and done.

Winged Sprightly Mouse again

At the time this was taken there was still a bit to do in the area where the wings meet the body, but it was nearly finished and gives a good idea how Sprightly will look as a winged mouse.

I went with semi-folded wings.

Would that be just  having landed, or about to take off...?

In the last few posts you can see Chubby and Pugnacious in their wingcarnations...

My primitive frog 'Rocky' is finished...

Meet Rocky.
Since a pocket full of these would weigh you down like a bag of stones, Rocky is what I'm calling my bare essentials frog.
Rocky is all action. Perhaps not too well mannered, but chock full of personality and attitude!

Reckless and eager to break new ground (and windows), Rocky dreams of being launched from a slingshot, far off into space...

Actually Rocky kind of has a bit of an Aztec-esque feel.
I should sprinkle a few around some old ruins and see if they show up on the History Channel...!

Rocky, Rocky, Rocky and Rocky meet Penny

Rocky has a Lego like quality too.
I'm having fun piling them atop one another.
Ancient Aztec lego toys, that's what they are.

All mice go to heaven 2...

Here's Angel Chubby in wax and clay yet to be molded and cast in bronze...

 As you can see this chubby little mouse is furnished with a dainty pair of wings that hardly seem able to lift the critter heavenward...
