Creative Beading

where can I find a pattern for a 3d beaded frog that is done in peyote stitch?

I am looking for a 3d beaded frog pattern done in peyote stitch. I saw it about a year ago on beadcoop and now it is gone. (I didn’t buy it then because I had just started beading and was slightly intimidated) Any one that knows where to find this pattern or has it and would be willing to share, you would make my day. I have been hunting for this for the last month and haven’t been able to find it. And please don’t suggest I go to about.com, they don’t have it. And beadpatterns.com has the RAW tutorial which is not what I am looking for either, nor is anything done working with wire ( I have already made a bunch of these and it’s cute but not exaclty what I am wanting).
Thanks!

I’m afraid I don’t have much of an answer. There was a pattern of this nature in a Bead and Button at one point, but I don’t keep my back issues at home. I know they keep a list of past projects on their website, perhaps you could find it there. I also saw a book on e-bay last night that had several animals in it and one of the patterns was a tree frog, so you might check that. I have purchased many beading books on e-bay for a fraction of their cover price!

I’m sorry I couldn’t be more help, my designs are all much more formal…no frogs!

Good Luck and Happy Beading!
