Frogs, Frogs and more Frogs. Oh, and you must look through the selection of Barry Stein bronze sculptures. The favorites are the bronze frogs. They are wonderful collectibles and great for gift giving. Each frog is numbered and comes in a velvet gift bag with a letter of authenticity. The frogs come in a multitude of vibrant colors. Candy red is the most favorite color and fits nicely with the holiday season of colors. However, you may want to choose pink and black, or lemon lime, or fire, which is one of my favorites. Following is a partial listing of bronze frogs, (my favorites), but look through all 60 of them on our website and select your favorites for family, friends, and colleagues.

I would say that Dezerae-Small is my very favorite little bronze frog collectible. She still has a bit of her pointy tail from the tadpole stage and is the cutest little thing! She is also a very reasonable $154, so starting your collection with Dezerae is a good beginning. Boobala and Mikey are a couple more of my favorites. I call them the happy frogs, they both look like they are laughing, which makes them even nicer as gifts.

Bumpy, Alysa, Elexess, and Dezerae-Large are among the best sellers of the bronze frogs. Check them out, I bet they will be your favorites too. Peek a Boo will bring a smile to your face. She is on a ledge, peering over carefully. And then there is Hangover, who has one leg stretched over the edge and begs the question – is he going up or down? These frogs are great conversation pieces for gift giving, for Holiday gifts or any time of year.

Slider has his feet positioned to stop that skid, another of the Barry Stein frogs with character. Most come in 8 or 12 color choices, so you should be able to match any room or office décor. Hot Rod fits his name; he is a flashy guy with especially vivid coloring. I would have to have the “fluorescent orange” with gray markings. Kookala is another bronze frog with extra bright coloring. My favorite of her 8 color choices is the orange with black and white markings.

Many of the frogs provoke a warm/fuzzy feeling because they seem to be smiling, namely, Sammy and Jason. Then you must choose which color you would like them to be in. How about Jason in candy red or lemon lime, and Sammy in pink?

Hitchhiker Frog sends a message with Mom providing a ride for baby frog who is hanging on for dear life. The nurturing theme is obvious. Of the 8 color choices we show, I like them all; its hard to pick a favorite.

If you have started your bronze frog collection, you should consider adding the hilarious threesome of Hear No Evil, See No Evil, and Speak No Evil. I believe artist Barry Stein has a great sense of humor when he creates his bronze frogs. You will also see that humor in Golfer Frog and Martini Frog, who are personified with golf club and raised glass. And let’s not forget Thumbs up in this group. A “thumbs up” gesture of encouragement would be a great addition to your desk – at least someone always approves of your work! One other fun frog I have to mention is Stumper. He appears to be seated on his stump giving a campaign speech. He must be up for election next year.

Holiday gifts, collectibles, or award gifts, the Barry Stein bronze sculptures are a great choice for a gift any time of year. Why not pick a really fun gift for someone this year? What could be more fun than giving a hot pink and black Olympus Octopus? Olympus is a corner sitter, so he will need a shelf or ledge to hang over. Olympus is about as unique as you can get for gift giving and, to top it off, he is a valuable collectible. Okay, if you want a bronze collectible that is less dramatic, you will like Octavio Octopus; he has his eye on you.

Some other fun gift-ables that you can Ooh and Aah over are Orca Baby, Otter and Sea Turtle. Otter is floating on his back with his little feet in the air. Ooh, so cute? Another great gift that may surprise you is Wall Lizard. He has an attached hook so he can cling to the wall. What color would you like? My favorites are red flame, lemon lime, fire, and pink.

Let’s go from fun to fabulous. The Barry Stein bronze sculptures from his North American Animals Collection has some wonderful pieces. They are phenomenal in any home or office. At the top of the list is Royal Conflict, it is a very large bronze sculpture 30” tall by 38” wide and depicts dueling bull elk. It is a marvelous work of art and especially nice for someone who loves the out of doors and its many wonderful creatures.

My favorite piece from the Stein wildlife collection is October’s Dream. The name of the piece and the look on the Buck’s face define peace and serenity. The bronze sculpture is 16” tall by 9” wide. High Plains Drifter is another favorite. The lone Big Horn Ram is on his own in the high country. I love the feeling!

Ascending Thunder will bring an entirely different feeling. Artist Barry Stein has sculpted this buffalo to show him in all his glory and power. It is a dramatic piece that will bring excitement to any room. What a wonderful collectible to give someone as a gift!

In The Fishing Hole we see the softer side of nature. The mother bear and her two cubs are at a watering hole. It is a peaceful and nurturing scene.

All of these bronze sculptures from Barry Stein’s North American collection are finely detailed works of art. What a privilege to own one of these pieces or receive it as a gift. We hope you will browse through the entire Barry Stein collection of over 100 pieces on our website. Find the ones that you suit your fancy or that you want to give to someone else.

So, whatever price range you are looking for, from less than $50 or more than $20,000 you can choose the right gift in the right price range to fit your budget. Happy gifting!

      Barry Stein’s bronze sculptures are created using the lost wax casting method.  Unlike most bronze sculptors, Barry begins by carving his figures in wood rather than wax or clay, because wood yields finer detail.  The detail and color of Barry Stein’s frogs are in 99% of cases the actual colors of real frogs.  He says:
“Frogs are a colorful bunch!  As in the rest of nature, often the poison species have the most dramatic coloration.  So yes, in 99% of cases, the colors of the bronze frogs are those of real frogs. ”
