My second completed animal, the hippopotamus. I was going to post an animal once a week as I complete them but I am working alot faster that I thought I would be so I’ll just post them as I complete them. This might be hard to believe, but this hippo was freaking hard to do complete technique-wise. I hard the worst time trying to cut these damn green and purple circles on the fly. The little blue ones were already cut out. Eventually I did draw out the circle first then cut them because I was wasting so much material. The purple foam was really hard to cut smoothly because it’s sticky on the back so it’s easier for kids to apply to paper. Maybe next time I’ll buy the unsticky kind.
When I look my hippo I laugh because I think something like that looks like it should have taken only a few minutes to do, when really it took a whole day to to complete. Looks can be deceiving.
