It is hard to get inspired to do foxes with outdoor interests (like butterflies, mushroom hunting, foraging, etc) in the winter when the forest in New England is asleep. But, wandering, even in winter, I can imagine.
eta- I have just listed these last 4 foxes into my etsy shop.
This kitty will not be blending in with the crowd! He’s popping!
This kitty has the softest cashmere sweater. Perfect for petting. And look at that bright striped vest! I had fun dressing this kitty fellow.
eta- All the kitties are now in my etsy shop.
I’m getting to the end of my vintage madras plaids. They’ve been fun to work with and so perfectly preppy.
He is also wearing a light-weight cashmere vest.
Because Fall is right around the corner- although it doesn’t feel like it this week. We are having a hot week here in Boston.
Stripes and plaid? All good on a kitty!
and lastly-
A fox forest explorer. He has his day bag on his back.
A cashmere scarf to keep the chill out.
And here is his wardrobe and bag contents-
A close-up of his pack.
Some of these foxes are made from wool I dyed last summer. My not-very-good dye job means slight variations in color which I happen to like a lot!
I think he has a very nice face- he looks sincere.
His vest is a print of ginkgo leaves.
A close-up of his pipe and briefcase.
He is pretty fancy in all the bright colors-
Another face close-up, straight on (mug shot), where you can see his handkerchief in his pocket.
He’s kitty number 5 and the last for now. I onto foxes next.
He is lots of bright colors.
The third kitty is warmly dressed in muted colors but he has his red and black checked vest under his jacket.
He has a cashmere scarf and a functional backpack that closes with a tie and an antique button.
This fox is a traveler.
He has all he needs for his wandering ways. A warm jacket and vest, a kerchief in one pocket and his map in the other. He has a backpack to hold his other necessities. His vest is soft flannel and I love the pine trees- perfect!
Here is a close-up of his supplies- his notebook, money, utensils, snack.
I will try to get the 6 available foxes into my etsy shop by the end of today.
