Blue Egyptian Hippo

Almost exactly as I found him in National Geographic of March '77. More like him, here.

I love dear rae jewellery, but I love Karin more. She made me this beautiful gold ring with a deep green stone and earlier this year M gave me a delicate set of her sun and moon rings. The perfect gift. Dear rae studio-shop in the Woodstock Foundry is a place with good good vibes. 
I dropped off one or two tiny pen and gold ink drawings there today. They're available for sale in her shop at 160 Albert Road.

Matthew gave me this precious thing. This weekend marks a year since he came home.

pretty new old-looking thing

No need for designs like these to ever change really. Much like Marmite and Mrs Balls.
