Something Fun and Frivolous: Large Happy Hippo Tote

It took me nearly a month to paint it, but the Large Happy Hippo Tote is finally finished and cozily ensconced in my Etsy shop. If it looks familiar, then that's because I made it with my erstwhile (i.e., sold) Proud Peacock and Outlandish Owl totes in mind. There's just something about a cute critter hanging out in a sea of sweet, colorful stuff that screams fun. I'm so hooked on the idea that I'm continuing on with a little something I'm calling the Large Terrific Turtle Tote (because what's a cute critter tote without a corny name to match?)
