Description: Several years ago, I became a glass bead maker then, in turn, a jewelry designer and started to do craft shows in Maryland. As the market was flooded with jewelry, I decided to sell the original beadworks decor through Grassroots Creations along with specialty pieces of my creations. Grassroots appealed to me as artisans were taught in places where there was little to no work or services for parents to support their children. These creations are made with a stiff frame of galvanized wire wound with smaller galvanized wire that hold the finest glass beads which are rust and corrosive resistant. They can be displayed indoors or outside and are easily cleaned using mild dish soap and water and left to air dry. These treasured creations are made to last! I had to abandon the craft show market due to my handicapped status, so I decided to eliminate the rest of my inventory here. Each item sold is very carefully bubbled wrapped and shipped in a cardboard box well below the price they are now being sold. Once sold, no more will be available. This Hippopotamus can be displayed on a flat surface. With a whimsical face, this hippo fit the bill for every girl in 1953 when a 10-year-old Gayla Peevey recorded the song on a record, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas" on the flip side of her "Are my ears on straight?" The song was so popular, it was 24 on the hit charts and the words were sung every time it was on the radio. I had a customer that bought one that he put a bow around its neck and kept under his tree at Christmas. Perhaps it could be a gift for an older family member who would remember the lyrics (see you tube and Wikipedia to find the tune and lyrics). Height: 5.5", Length: 9.5", Width: 3.5", Weight: 15 oz. unpacked. Saw one on eBay that was going for $49.99. I currently have 3 and they won't last long. They are not available at Beadworx right now. From a smoke-free, fragrance-free and pet-free home.BX3
