I have never seen a hedgehog in our garden before. Maybe there has been one, but if so, it didn't show itself to me.
Today, however, we had a little guest, Geppo (Geppo is named after the alleged founder of my hometown Göppingen who was an Alemannic chieftain).
He had to be carried from spot to spot because it was hot and it's very hard to walk long distances or even climb something if you are not even a full 1 1/2 inch!
The first stop were a few succulents, but Geppo quickly became bolder and wanted to go higher and higher!
Next stop - Mt. Angelhead!
Impressed by his own courage, Geppo's next goal was Mt. Lionhead. "I'm afraid of no lion!"
You are not impressed? Well, how about now?
After that our little hedgehog was tired, very hot and very thirsty, so a trip to the birdbath was in order.
And here are a few flowers which were too shaky for Geppo to sit on, so he had a look at them from my hand.
For those who don't know, like my other hedgehogs Geppo is a miniature crocheted from copper wire after my original design. None of my hedgehogs ever looks exactly like the other. Geppo, for example, has bronze coated hematite eyes and a sparkly crystal nose :-)
I love how your crochet him out of wire: it is a really neat texture! A fun little expedition in your garden: love seeing the angel head and the lion's head!

Thank you, Mireille!
DeleteThe angel has moved on (along with the neighbors), but the lions still guard the garden.
Geppo is adorable! I didn't realize you could even crochet copper wire. Cute pictures.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joanne!
DeleteWire crochet was my first love in crafting. You can also crochet with silver and even high carat gold, but both are outside my budget these days.
Oh my goodness!!! He is so cute! I love hedgehogs!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I love hedgehogs, too. We had one in the garden in summer of 2023, but he only stayed a few days and then moved on. Maybe he didn't like the way I made scrambled egg for him.
DeleteI wondered when I first spotted him, what he might be made out of. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melynda! 🥰
