hippo ta dah !!

This task dah been a long time comming .the stuffing  finally arrived . So I could breath life into him. I  am really pleased. Heidi refers to this as happypotomus and I confess to smiling every time I look at him . He is my biggest project to date  and I think it's the one I am most proud off. 

 

I  do have request for the rhino and elephant so I think I will soon be making African flowers in my sleep lol

some body to love

Quick update on the hippo. I am loving making him . The picture don't do justice to how near he is to completion ....just head and neck to do









It actually almost addictive . It's so cleverly put together . You just want to make one more and before you know it takes shape around you




However I would be lying if I said it was all.plain sailing the octagon in particular took a few attempts at joining and the front legs took me a hour to work out placement lol . Heidi instructions couldn't be clearer so was obviously having a blond moment .  Because of its tendency to drive me up wall we have affectionately named it potty   Lol.
