Pacific Tree Frog on a California Poppy

A local non profit was having an art show with a wildflower theme, so I made this Pacific Tree Frog collage for the show. It is all made of tissue paper and hand made paper, cut or torn by hand, and sealed with decopage glue.

That’s super awesome. Really great frame choice to go with it too. How long did that take? It looks like it would be tricky to do.

WOW! You really know how to tear paper. The many layers of the frog and the subtle color shifts of the flower are great.

Well done! The colors and textures are so detailed. Never would have guessed it was paper…

I will mever look at tissue paper the same. The details are so precise and delicate. Gorgeous work.

I love the way you layered the tissue to make the flower color darker at the center. And the designs on the frog are incredible!

I kinda lose track of time when I am working on an art piece…but it took at least 10 hours and I was :grinning_face: working into the night the day before it was due (as usual). I have learned to make art to fit frames I have these days, rather than trying to frame finished pieces (odd sizes and all that can be a real pain). I’m glad you like the frame choice.:slightly_smiling_face:

Thank you for the kind words everyone! I like working with paper, and you can get lots of nice color gradation with layering tissue paper.
