Hi, everyone! I stitched up this little hippo yesterday. I worked on it on my breaks at work and then later on at my friend Candace's house while everyone else was finished up the Dream High drama. I had already watched the drama so I decided to work on my hippo instead ;)

Does anyone know who this little hippo is suppose to represent? Why the hippo has two names suggested? It reminds me of a story that one of my art history professors told us in undergrad.

Until next time ^____^
