About
Pond frog copper patina sculpture designed and made by artist Cindy Cantelon.
This frog was inspired by the red-legged frog that lives in Cindy’s backyard pond. Cindy says: “I love frogs, all frogs we’re lucky to have a few different species where I live, these guys and the pacific tree frog”.
The Frog Sculpture original piece was sculpted in wax and then cast in bronze. The reproductions are cast in fine silver pewter and plated in copper with a blue green patina. The beautiful copper patina finish is protected with a coat of clear lacquer. No two patina finishes are the same each frog is unique
Cindy’s formal studies were in fine art, painting, drawing, photography and sculpture. She lives and works with her husband, Marshall creating art at their country home/workshop/studio on the west coast of British Columbia, just a couple hours and one ferry ride northwest of Vancouver.
Nature is Cindy’s inspiration. She has been creating her Earthly Creatures Designs for over 25 years!
They hand design and produce all their art metal work. Their designs start off as an idea, then are carved and sculpted in wax and cast in bronze using the lost wax method. They create all our jewellery and small sculpture designs. Some of the materials they used are sterling silver, gold, bronze, copper and silver pewter. The pewter we use is 100% lead-free with a touch of real silver in it. It’s the highest quality pewter one can use. The copper plating is of the finest quality.
Each one of their pewter pieces is handcrafted so no two finishes will look exactly the same. Their unique patinas are true and strong and sealed with a clear protective coating.
