I've been asked to make a terra cotta frog with shiny green eyes. Ok, I
can do this. But I've got a few questions for the wise and wonderful.

What would you suggest for the shiny green eyes? Should I put in the
eyes before firing, or make an indentation to affix the eyes after
firing?

The froggy is supposed to be approximately 6" tall and rather plump. I
believe I'm going to have to hollow out this guy, right?

TIA
