She is a fancy fox!

She is wearing a dress made from a piece of Liberty fabric that I bought at Liberty’s in London, probably in 1999. I am so happy to have projects where I actually use these special fabrics that I’ve been saving for so long.

She is wearing a silk ribbon bow, attached with a safety pin so it is removable.

I pulled out some beads for this project. They had been safely hidden away in the attic. Getting them out might be a mistake. Who knows where I will end up if I go down the bead path!

Here is a close-up of the sweater- I wanted the closures to be mostly invisible.

The skirt closes in the back with a snap.

And today was the last day for my intern Tori- Good-bye! Thanks for all your help!

Tomorrow is my Tiny World Workshop which means there will be a break in fox production. I need to focus on the Tiny Worlds for a few days. Hopefully I will get these girls up on Etsy this weekend. They will be $140 each.

One finished so far-

I love this Cloud9 Organic cotton- a perfect fox skirt print.

I cannot think of the right word to describe the color of her coat- a yellowish-green. Too yellow for Lime or Avacado. Kind of light olive but not really. Help!

She has a very dark red shawl that closes with a glass shoe button. The buttons on the coat are some that I’ve been saving for a long time- just waiting for the right project. Her bag is dark brown wool felt. I love my wool felt.

Here is all her stuff and the rest of her dress-

and the backs-

btw- I bought my Cloud9 fabric last week when we had the Crafty Biz meet-up at Gather Here in Cambridge. What a fun venue! There is tons of gorgeous fabrics, great books that I’ve only seen online so I got to browse them in person, embroidery floss not displayed in the darkest corner of the store (why does every other store do that!), and tons of other stuff that I am not quite so interested in,  like yarn and classes and, and, and… so much!
