These are what I call “Froglets”.
They are small, often finger puppet size. But make no mistake, they take time to make. Each one is different, each made through the direct metal approach with welding torch and copper sheet and brazing rod. Much attention to detail.
Buying a Froglet is a wonderful way to get your feet wet collecting my work. With fine art, it is so important to see the work in person. Nothing beats it. That is why brick and mortar galleries persist. But, especially at this time, we are moving onto much more of an online community.
Froglets are an easy purchase, between $100 and $200.
When you get a Froglet, made by me, you know what kind of craftsmanship goes into the work. You can enjoy the work, and feel secure knowing that you if you bought a larger piece, it would be to your liking. (Besides that, I guarantee my work. If someone commissions a piece and they aren’t happy with it, either I work to make it acceptable, or no sale.)
Froglets are currently not available in galleries.
If you do not absolutely love your froglet, return it and I will refund you.
I spend a LOT more time on these than I get paid for. A lot. Plus, I make them all myself. I currently do not have anyone else making them or even helping me make them. That will change...
Add to that, I blog about each froglet. In fact, I am blogging about every sculpture I make. So there is a nice paper trail. Not only is each piece signed and dated, but pictures of it are up on the blog. Your frog sculpture is up on the blog. It is a piece of history.
These froglets are particularly valuable because they are the FIRST ones I have made, which I started doing when covid happened. Also, in the future, not all froglets will be made entirely by my hand, necessarily. So these are special.

Pay with Paypal or a credit card. (If you wish to make some other arrangement, email me: beau@beautifulfrog.com.) Your purchase is safe and secure through Paypal.
All the work is original. There is only one of each item. Once it is sold, it is not replaceable. I can make another sculpture, but it will not be the same. In this way, this store is rather like an online gallery. The work displayed and for sale is rather like a current exhibition. So, even if you don’t buy, it still can be a fun experience to look at all the art and see the prices.
I have an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. If you have any questions about your purchase, you can email me directly: beau@beautifulfrog.com. Or call (770) 843-5585. My home studio is at 1122 Greenview Lane, Mount Pleasant SC 29464. If you are outside of the United States, email me before you buy because there will be extra shipping costs. For everyone else, for smaller work, a minimal fee of $15 is added for shipping.
I will ship within 2 business days. For larger frog sculptures, which have to be crated, I ask for 3 business days. Please make sure your address is correct. Or, if it is going to a different address and you are paying with a credit card, let me know that address. Unless you otherwise specify, owners of my sculpture go on my list, which I never sell or share. I try to send out a bimonthly FROGletter which is fun, informative and can have deals on my sculpture.

Testimonials
That froglet is just instant joy. When I carefully unwrapped him and finally saw him in person for the first time, his excited expression greeted me like we were long lost friends. Everytime I look at him I can't help but smile. Maybe it's because his joyous little smile is contagious. Maybe it's because he represents so much excitement and hope that I can't wait to bring to my own business....I cannot wait to take some fun photos of my froglet and I will be sure to share when I do!
Nothing but the absolute best,

Dude, It's a 1934 Wheat Penny!
The first of it's kind! I come up with designs and then repeat them, slowly changing the design as I go. Very small and very difficult to make if you don't know what you are doing. Signed and dated, as with all my froglets.
