Dudes, no worries about the “frog” (which is actually the front half of a horned lizard that I made out of copper metal clay using a circa 1960s Creepy Crawler mold). Since I only had one of these critters, and we were shooting in real time, I had to use a different, pre-tumbled sample to show what the metal looks like after it’s been tumbled for a couple of hours. Hope that clears up the confusion! Cheers, Jill
