Happy Little Hippo
Original papier-mâché sculpture on repurposed wood base

Born from an unexpected moment of inspiration after my husband dreamed of a tiny hippo resting in a little pond, Happy Little Hippo became a playful reminder that creativity sometimes arrives unannounced.

Handcrafted from recycled paper using papier-mâché and mounted on a repurposed wood base, this one-of-a-kind sculpture reflects the heart of Second Chances—finding beauty, story, and joy in reclaimed materials.

Small in size but full of personality, this whimsical original brings a touch of delight to shelves, desks, nurseries, creative spaces, or anywhere that could use a reason to smile.
