Polymer Clay Sculpture of a Frog (1.8 Inch) from Bali, "Vibrant Frog"

Growing up surrounded by a family of artisans, Jon Stuart Anderson devotes his artistic career to exploring the new possibilities offered by polymer clay. He forms the clay by hand into tubes that feature colorful and imaginative designs. Cross sections are cut from these tubes and carefully applied to the body of this small frog sculpture with impressive designs that include floral motifs, dragonflies, and even the vista of pyramids along its neck. The artist has worked for 25 years to perfect this millefiori-style technique, which has allowed him to create intricate and amazing designs on his sculptures.
