Babs Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Do those who make shallow pots for flower arrangements attach the frogs or are they loose in pot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark C. Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 Mine where always loose -that was years ago-you can use frog putty to hold them. I made ikebana pots.decades ago. I may still have a box of frogs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Museum wax works great as well. I used it for Ikebana's as well. Babs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of artwork stuck with museum wax in museums to keep it in place, be invisible yet later be removable with a little effort. A little goes a long way.

Babs Posted July 17, 2022 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) @Bill KielbThanks Bill. Sounds good stuff for local Com Gallery too. @Min thanks. Takes the drying process of different thicknesses off the page prior to firing. Edited July 17, 2022 by Babs Bill Kielb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hulk Posted July 17, 2022 Report Share Posted July 17, 2022 (edited) Museum putty holds tighter; wax, also gel, are nice for clear/translucent objects, where putty would show more. We found the putty well suited for the tall slender opaque vase, which has leverage. Edited July 17, 2022 by Hulk Babs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted July 18, 2022 Report Share Posted July 18, 2022 I’ve always used Floral Clay or Florist’s Clay, just like my Granny. It’s green, oil based and pretty sticky. Can be re-kneaded to re-use. Lasts for years. Amazon or craft stores or - florists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just thinking of doing a batch. Not sure, seems lots of " individual" frogs out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rae Reich Posted July 22, 2022 Report Share Posted July 22, 2022 @Babs, that’s a difficult question. When I gift a piece to be used that way, I include a box of Floral Clay and have the frog already secured in place. That’s because I prefer to have a piece with multiple uses so I don’t make it permanent. It could be that customers at sales don’t want so many choices - a vase is a vase and can’t be a nut dish! That may be why @Min glues them. Also precludes lengthy instructions. Babs and Bill Kielb 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilestrick Posted July 23, 2022 Report Share Posted July 23, 2022 I epoxy in my frogs. I leave the spot where they will be glued unglazed and roughed up so the epoxy holds well, and I use a marine grade epoxy. Rae Reich and Babs 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
