Le Golden Hippo.

About two weeks ago I went to Walmart and bought acrylic paints. And little toy animals.

And then I painted them. 

This hippo is my favorite, and I don't know why (all right, I do. But I'm not going to elaborate). There are some far prettier ones that I also love--just not as much as this one. 

Although I have to say that so far I'm LOVING this batch of animals:

Those are gold polka dots on the ram, by the way.

And NO, it's NOT copyright from the Good Machinery. Anyone can dip animals in brightly colored paint and it wouldn't be illegal.

Besides, hers are so much better than mine it's no competition.

 So yeah. Instead of a rock-themed giveaway I was thinking of throwing in three of these animals in with the prizes.

There is also a forest green pony, but I haven't gotten to her yet.

Pretty chic, no?

Anyway, tell me what you think in the comments.
