The frog pens have landed....

I've just finished the tutorial for the frog pens and am actually rather pleased with it! It's not a very British thing to say is it? I'm sure I should be more self-effacing and modest, but I like it!!! I had a love/hate relationship with my frogs, I wasn't happy with them for a long time so left them, and came back to them a while ago and they behaved and became a tutorial! I've learned over the years that if something isn't going well, just put it to one side, it's not it's time to shine. 
My plan is to make tutorials for a dragon pen, a turtle pen and an owl pen, but although I've made the pens, the tutorials take a little longer. However, here they are.

I'm not entirely  happy with the dragon eyes, so they will be changed before I do the tutorial, but I've had a lot of fun with these pens. 

Now for the fun part. I'm going to give away a copy of the frog pen to one of the people on my mailing list. It did make me laugh yesterday when I asked my husband if he'd subscribed and he said "yes, and ticked the box to say you could pester me with emails!". I'm not sure 'pester' was exactly what the text said, and as I'm terrible at marketing it's unlikely I shall be pestering anyone :).
So, thank you to the people who have already subscribed, you will already be in the draw. 
The tutorial will be on sale for £10 on the Clayaround website for people living in Britain. Unfortunately there are all sorts of problems with tax when selling downloads to people outside the UK so I'm in the process of setting up an Etsy shop (never thought I'd say that)  so that everyone who wants to can buy my tutorials. 
I'm off for a lovely few days away with clay friends and my dog and plan on making a lot of canes, so will share what I've made in another post. Let's hope I can become a little more regular in posting, I don't feel 6 monthly is really trying!
