A few months ago, Thailand-based ceramic artist Trevor Foster<\/a> was working in his outdoor studio when he noticed something strange about the mold he\u2019d just poured slip into.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt first, I thought the mold was just bubbling or maybe had a leak at the bottom,\u201d Foster told The Dodo.<\/p>\n

But as he looked closer, he saw something sticking out of it. First, he saw a pair of legs \u2026 legs that looked like they were made for jumping. Legs that belonged to a frog.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt took a few moments of confusion before I spotted his little mouth, and that\u2019s when I sprang into action,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

Foster quickly pried open the mold and pulled out the piece of plastic encircling the frog as quickly as possible.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt all happened so fast, I barely had time to think,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

Foster soaked the mold in water to loosen the slip and used his fingers to pry the amphibian out. Once he\u2019d freed the frog, he immediately rinsed him off.<\/p>\n

Foster held his breath, praying the frog would be OK. Thanks to his quick thinking, the frog was totally fine, and even seemed thankful that Foster had given him a nice shower.<\/p>\n

\u201cAfter I got him out, he did this cute little motion with his hands, almost like he was feeling shy or ashamed,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

After the dust had settled and Foster was certain the frog was doing well, he pieced together how he\u2019d ended up there in the first place.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a small hole at the top [of the mold], and to a frog, it must have looked like a cozy little burrow,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

The frog took some time to hang out in Foster\u2019s studio and rest after his ordeal. Before long, he seemed to feel good as new.<\/p>\n

\u201cI set him in a bush, and he immediately tucked himself under a pile of leaves,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n

While the frog wasted no time returning to his natural habitat, Foster will always treasure the memory of getting to bond with such a unique animal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ll be making a frog-inspired ceramic series soon to commemorate the experience,\u201d Foster said.<\/p>\n
