The pop-out art forms we constructed on our home made quite a visual impact. This frog pop-out is approximately 10 feet in both directions and protrudes 1 1/2 inches from the wall. The construction process took a considerable amount of wire work over the foam shapes, resulting in sore fingers.
In this photo I am adding the full size foam pieces of the frog over the layer of insulation foam on the wall. The metal lath or chicken wire as we call it, will be placed over the frog outline and tied to the wire already on the wall. Timing was critical for this work as the stucco was to be applied to the wall soon. We had to waite until the wire mesh was on the wall before we could add our pop out. When the stucco crew add the stucco to the wall they cover our pop out and shape around the pattern. You get a feel as to the size of this frog design from this photo.
