Wanted artist to make clay frogs in trade for items from my bead & SB collection

[seamonkeychik]

First Mods, please move if I have posted in error. I have not been on the board in quite a while and it looks to be there have been a lot of changes!

Second, I am in search of a polymer clay artist to make me a few "frog figurines". I can give you a few links for inspiration so you can see what I am hoping to achieve. It's going to be a birthday gift for my boyfriend. I can offer items from my beading collection and scrap booking collection as a TRADE! I have nerve damage and I can't bead like I used to. So, if you are multi-crafted maybe this would interest you? Again sorry if I have posted in the wrong section!

I have pictures of everything in my collection. I also have pix of the frogs I would like sculpted or something very similar. Below gives you an idea of what I am in search of. I like the first 2 green frogs. Thank you

I wish I could help, but I can't sculpt at all. You could do a search on www.etsy.com for PCAGOE members (do a tag search) , a lot of the members are wonderful sculptors and are usually up for a good trade.

I hope you find someone:)

You could also ask in the "polymer clay" delphiforum, run by Polymer Clay Central:
http://forums.delphiforums.com/polymerclay/messages/?start=Start+Reading ...I'd probably start in the category called *Buy, Sell, Trade, Barter* though the other larger categories could get the attention of those who don't usually read that particular category too.
(You'd have to join Delphiforums to be able to actually ask or reply, but you could also just check out work you see and perhaps get info about that person's website just from reading so you could write them outside the forum.)

Another possibility would be to do a search for at least the words polymer clay sculpt, see a style and quality you like, then contact the maker of the items if s/he does custom orders.
