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.
