He is an artist of the wander-out-in-nature variety. He has a portfolio on a strap, a sketch book inside, and a pencil in his pocket.
He has a cashmere scarf and sweater vest.
He is the last fox for now. Next up, tiny world pincushions.

Woodsy Girl
Maybe you are thinking that she looks a little over-dressed for April but it is snowing (again) out my window today. Enough already! I got a little behind with my posting this weekend but with the various holidays I figured it wouldn’t matter. Now, back on track!
Hiker Fox
A plaid fox because it is the perfect colors.
He is going out for a hike to do some amateur scientific research.
Here are his supplies from his backpack- a notebook and pencil, a map, a snack, and a bit of money.
Fox Girl with Aqua Sweater
I take apart/cut up cashmere sweaters from the thrift store to make these sweaters for my foxes. I wash the cashmere but it stays soft and drapey, perfect for the way I use it. On this one, I cut out the sweater pieces so that the original sweater’s ribbing could get used for my little fox sweater. Then, I took off a ruffle that went all the way around the original sweater’s button front and neckline and sewed it on for this sweet girl. Now she has the fancy sweater! Also a silk bow.
And a Liberty lawn dress.
Fox Girl with Animal Dress
She is made from a rough weave wool- it is kind of scratchy and coarse but an excellent rich color. And, such a contrast to her cashmere sweater.
She has a picnic basket-
Professor Fox with a Liberty Vest
Here is his gorgeous vest-
He is made from an interesting reclaimed wool fabric. I bought an old wool kimono type garment at a yard sale at a local Japanese School. It had some moth holes and worn spots so I felt guiltless cutting it up and giving it a new life. It has a very interesting textured weave.
Yellow Sweater, Liberty Dress, School Girl Fox
This Liberty of London lawn is just gorgeous, isn’t it?
Her school bag-
I’m seeing signs of Spring- there were blooming crocus where the snow has melted!
Princess Fox
Felt crown, cashmere sweater, cobweb-by lace shawl.
A smaller fox toy pin.
One more swaddled baby
I didn’t quite get this baby finished before I left for LA so I brought it along as a demo doll. I figured I’d finish it while I was out there. Nope, more than a month later and I finally finished the last few details yesterday.
Yes, it has been more than a month since I have finished any of my dolls. I’ve got a ton of work in progress but now it is time to get some pieces finished! In less than a month, I will be heading down to Washington, DC for the Smithsonian Craft Show and I am feeling the pressure. There won’t be any dolls available for sale until after that show, so that means the beginning of May.
Look- signs of melting and Spring! There is hope!
Bright Baby 2
Another very bright baby. I love these colors.
All of these babies are coming out to Los Angeles with me as samples for my class. My etsy shop is closed for now (2/22- 3/5) but I will add them to the shop when I get back.
