June 7 - Budgett's Frog

"Frog went a-courtin', and he did ride, Uh-huh."

~ Bob Dylan

Typical frog balloons are of the green/tree frog type, so I was excited to take a look and build this blobby body guy.

These frogs were named posthumously after John Samuel Budgett, a zoologist who (unfortunately literally) devoted his life to their study, as he caught fatal fever following his final foray into the fregion.

This design is from the Isopresso members section.  I could/should probably have tucked the front arms up and under the body as it would be in nature while it's waiting for food to walk near it's mouth.  Those front legs are only really out like that when it's trying to awkwardly reposition itself.
