Finally! The hippos are DONE!! 😄 As seems to happen frequently, I went into this particular piece thinking it wouldn't be as time-consuming of a project for the size it was. But lo and behold, I definitely underestimated everything about it! Fortunately, as per usual, it's always worth it in the end. These are the first hippos I've ever created for some reason, but it was a lot of fun once I got past the tedious parts (which was like, everything, lol). I loved reliving the memory of cruising down the Zambezi River in Mana Pools while photographing these guys. The original will be headed off to Tabora Gallery, but I'll make prints if any of you want one.
