The Adventures Of Fransisco The Frog

Hello, my name is Francisco and I am a frog. I recently left my career in the adult amphibian entertainment business and am now travelling the world in search of new friends. My mother @superchlorine birthed me with her magic fingers. You can make be a sibling if you like by following this guide https://www.tumblr.com/fransisco-the-frog/776295922631131136

I got to go on a super fun hike today! I visited Valle De Las Animas just outside of La Paz in Bolivia.

The name translates to Valley of the Souls and I can see why. It was quite creepy with all the big tall rocks.

The hike was kind of hard, we started at 3800m (12,500ft) and climbed to 4200m (13800ft). I was very out of breath my frog legs aren’t built for that amount of hopping.

The view was amazing though! ❤️

I’m such a lucky frog to go on these adventures.

Wowie what a party!

I’m so lucky I got to experience Carnival in Oruro in Bolivia!!!

It was so much fun! So many dancers 💃 🕺 in amazing costumes, lots of music, so many people having fun and smiling.

I didn’t know what a carnival was before this as we don’t have them where I’m from and boy do I want to go to another one 🥳

Ever wondered what it’s like to be inside an active mine? Me either but I found out today!

Today I visited the Potosí Silver Mines in Bolivia, and wow do I have respect for miners.

It was really dark and wet, and I was a bit scared. I got to see where the minder dig out minerals from the ground. They use dynamite to blow holes in the rock, I’m glad the miners weren’t working when I was there.

The town of Potosi still has 10,000 miners and they all work for themselves which is good.

I’m glad I’m a frog and don’t have to go into mines, but big respect for miners.

What and adventure I just had! I just took a tour from Chile to the Uyuni Salt Flats in Bolivia!! Did you know these salt flats are the largest in the world and cover 10,000 square kilometres (4k sq miles)!

I had to float on a raft made of a Pringles lid as I’m a fresh water frog and the salt isn’t good for me.

It was amazing! I got to see flamingos, lizards, and llamas on my trip. Animals are so fun.

I also got to visit a train graveyard which was super cool, the trains were so big and rusty.

Can’t wait for my next adventure.

[fransisco-the-frog]

My adventures continue up to the north of Chile to the Atacama desert!

I’m in San Pedro de Atacama, it’s very dry and dusty here but I’ve gotten to see some really cool things. There’s lots of cool things to see here, lots of rocks which I like to climb up. I even got to feel sand between my toes as I ran down a sand dune that was fun.

Here’s all the places I visited:

Valley De La Luna

Laguna Tebinquiche

Magic Bus

Mars Valley

Laguna Miscanti

I love all kinds of nature, especially the rocky kind.

i dont think i posted these but here i made a little frog pattern to make tiny frog toys with my grandma

this is the first lil guy I made while still learning how i should sew it

[boigameista]

AAA ok so a lot of people have been asking for the pattern to this, tho I’ve been using just these two little papers to do the cut outs lol

i tried my best to translate it into digital so that people get a bit more accurate look at them. Tho bear with me I’ve never done an actual pattern design sheet before!

so basically my hope is that anyone could print these out to any size of their choosing and get the same result, but ive never tried anything larger than approx. 3 inches with these sooo idk if you try it tag me!

the goal is to sew the backs together to the lines at the tip of the head to the middle of the butt. then leaving a space along the belly piece near the butt end and sewing from one side of the butt including all the legs and the “mouth” to the other side with its legs to get back to the butt. if that makes sense

i usually pause sewing up the body once the head is fully sewn together,, usually after ive sewn both arms and ill yank it inside out where ill start sewing on the little poofball eyes so i know theyre in a good place, then resuming the body, and then pulling the whole thing inside out and pushing out the tips of the limbs with a skinny blunt object like a dull pencil until i can see the stitches. if you attempt this piece definitely make sure you stitch up the arm and leg crevices very well!!!!

then just stuff the lad and sew up his back end and its done :)

one suggestion for fabric is always try to use a stretchy soft fleecy fabric with these because its much easier if mistakes are made during sewing and to hold the ROUND shape better

Overall its a very good use of scraps if you’ve accumulated a lot and don’t know what to do with them 👍👍

So I made a frog (huge)

[boigameista]

I literally can’t I’m losing my mind over the sheer girth of this frog.

Absolutely incredible.

11/10 and godspeed.

On the other end of the spectrum, I used this pattern to make a tiny Frog Prince combo needle cushion/needle minder!

[fransisco-the-frog]

I was birthed into this world by @superchlorine and her magic fingers. I bet I have lots of brothers and sisters out there.

Do you know any? Please send me photos if you do.

Would you like to make a sibling for me to play with? That would be awesome ❤️

[fransisco-the-frog]

I just discovered cheese for the first time! Oh wow how did I not know this existed before? Is this a gift from god?

I also invented a great snack, plantain chip cheese sandwich, it was super yummy.

I look forward to trying all the cheeses, I hear there are lots.

I also tried beer recently, it makes my froggy fingers go tingly! I think I like it but I need to do more research.

[fransisco-the-frog]

I just got back from hiking the W trek in Patagonia in Chile and oh boy are my little legs tired now.

I was there for 5 days and had all sorts of adventures. I stayed in tents, had my first beer, hopped around in the woods, climbs mountains, saw ANOTHER glacier, ate lots of flies, and almost got blown off a cliff top (is very windy there).

It was so amazing to be in nature I love seeing all the plants and trees and animals. I even saw a Puma!

Can’t wait for more adventures! 🐸

[fransisco-the-frog]

Wow today was a super day! I got to see big water fall down very far at Iguazu Falls in Argentina. I’m sure glad I wasn’t in the river or I’d be very scared, I’m not a great swimmer I don’t really like getting wet I tend to sink.

Did you know Iguazu Falls is the biggest cascading waterfall in the world? It has 275 connected falls, and is over 80m tall, that’s pretty big I don’t think I can hop that high!

I wonder how many froggy cousins I have here living in the undergrowth, I didn’t get to meet any other frogs but I am hoping one day I will.

FALSE:

By the way, this inspired the movie "UP" by Pixar/Disney.

[fransisco-the-frog]

Not to be “that frog” but I did say largest cascading waterfall not the largest waterfall.

Today I went to see a really big ice cube sliding down a mountain. I’ve never seen such a big piece of ice it was so cool (hehe).

The ice was so blue, like a giant snow cone I wanted to lick it but I didn’t because my tongue would probably get stuck.

Bits fell off it and made a big splash and crash, it sounded like gunshots and I was scared but then I remembered I wasn’t in America so I should be fine.

Perito Morino, El Calafate, Patagonia, Argentina

[fransisco-the-frog]

Wow look how high I am! It was windy up here I had to be careful not to be blown off a cliff.

I like looking at the mountains, and imagine hopping off the top of them. Boing!

Don’t jump off mountains unless you’re a frog like me who can do parkour. PARKOUR!

El Chalten, Patagonia, Argentina

[fransisco-the-frog]

Forests are my home 🏡

I love to be in nature sitting on a log watching the leaves sway.

I didn’t find any frogs today but I did see a funny bird:

El Chalten, Patagonia, Argentina

[fransisco-the-frog]

Today I went on a real adventure. I climbed the highest I’ve ever been, saw sights I’d never seen, and touched snow for the first time!

Nature is amazing, can’t wait to go and visit some forests tomorrow.

What a beautiful world we live in 🧡

El Chalten, Patagonia

[fransisco-the-frog]

Who knew frogs could go to the mountains? Not me. I’m in El Chalten in Patagonia (Argentina), it’s so cute and wow the mountains are big!

I’m so lucky to be a travelling frog 🐸.

[fransisco-the-frog]

So exciting to be flying above the clouds. I like to think that they’re made of cotton candy but I can’t eat them because I am a frog.

It’s fun to look out of the window and watch the world go by, I wonder how many frogs get to fly like me?

[fransisco-the-frog]

I am boarded and ready to fly!

So exciting, I’ve never been on an airplane before, I hope they have good snacks.

There’s lots of legroom for me to stretch out and hop about, I wonder if there are any other frogs on board…
