In my other sculpture from earlier in the week (scroll down on my blog) I used a reed for a frog tongue.<br /><br />I plan to hit the beach one last time today, I have a picture in my head, we'll see if I can turn it into another fine piece of art!Rick Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173516899130463413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318141125465644859.post-15324769250245087162012-08-16T08:15:10.970-04:002012-08-16T08:15:10.970-04:00That's really cool.

She's very pretty.

The tip of her tail went fairly quickly, but it took about 40 minutes for the waves to render her unrecognizable near the peak of high tide.<br />Rick Daleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05173516899130463413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5318141125465644859.post-6261410991170183932012-08-14T19:17:32.083-04:002012-08-14T19:17:32.083-04:00That is really impressive!
