Hello Hippo

Well, it's about time. I've been working on this hippo since Christmastime. It turned out okay, but maybe a little grouchier/more confused than I would have liked. It's also kind of stiff right now; the arms stick out, and the legs are a little too thick to make sitting comfortable. This hippo just needs to be played with for a few months, I think, to get nice and soft.

p.s. Remember when I liked that tablecloth at a coffee shop in Cedarburg? You can see my copycat attempt on our dining room table in the background of these pictures.
