Hello everyone! I have not been blogging much because I've just returned from a 1-1/2 week trip to Europe. Anyway, just wanted to share a piece of work I did just before I went away. This hippo couple was commissioned by Daniel and Stella when they came by my stall at MAAD in early May. They wanted a pair of grey coloured hippos for their wedding in end May, and had specifically asked for a groom hippo in a black suit, and a bride hippo that was not dressed in white, but in a purple dress with a ruffle skirt and a black sash at the waist similar to the bride's evening gown. I got some generous pattern help from my crafty friend Ivy (of Iv Belongings http://www.ivbelongings.com) with the suit - we actually made a tux with coat tails for a bit more dramatic effect. As for the bride, I transformed the usual ballet dress into a bustier dress with a line of sparkling beads at the bust and hem for a bit of glam and a sassy black sash as requested by the bride. And here they are, happy and smiling, looking all ready for their first married dance! Congratulations Daniel and Stella!!!
