Horny Toad and Crystal

[agriffin]

Or Texas horned lizard to be correct. But I've always called it a horny toad. Dusted with a bit of pearl mica...cause it's dusty in Texas.

And a crystal/jewel thingy. It's hard to get a pic of it that looks cool...but it does look cool. Pardon all the bubbles.

The lizard is spot on! It looks like my pet lizard :wink:

Good golly, that reminds me of when I was a little girl in West Texas. I used to try to keep "Horny Toads" as pets. That one sure looks like the real thing.

Are these molds you've been making? They sure are good. I may have asked before, but what part of Texas are you from?

Thanks! I'm in Grand Prairie. Just a stones's throw south of Dallas. Yep, I made these. It's about as addictive as making soap!

That's soap?! Sweet! Love the detail you got on it.

Know right where that is. I gew up in Plano (when it only had 3,000 people and ONE foot ball team!!)

And no i've never seen a horny toad in Texas. My Grandaddy used to tell me the story of the horny toad Ol' Rip that got shut up in a courthouse's cornerstone for 31 years. He was alive having hibernated the whole time. :lol

I used to LOVE that story growing up.

They both look great. The horny toad is amazing. I went to a drive through zoo in your area years ago. Is that near you?

How in the heck did you get that lizard to stay still to make a mold of him. :wink:

 

[Bama]

That is funny.

 

[Dragonkaz]

Both soaps are fabulous!

I love your horny lizard ... so real to look at. Looks like the horny lizards that live in Aussie's Northern Territorial.

I froze him first! He didn't have a choice!

I'M JUST KIDDING! LOL

I used to catch horned toads in AZ as a child. Wow, your lizard soap looks amazing! Put that in someone's shower as a surprize, and I bet you'd get a funny reaction!

[saltydog]

Fantastic horny toad! I bet kids will love to take a bath with it. The gemstone looks good, too.
