fall fox boy 1- mushroom hunter

Mushroom hunting is a great excuse for a walk in the woods. No eating of foraged fungi is necessary. I am sure this fox is an expert though and knows the good stuff and will be making dinner later. You can see that he found a really big mushroom for his collecting bag.

The boy foxes I just finished are also made from hand-dyed by me wool fabric. I think you can see the color variations in these pics.

In his bag is his notebook and 2 mushrooms- a regular size one and a BIG one.

It seems impossible to get the colors in the photos just right. This fellow’s scarf is what I’d call a dark orange versus the red it looks like in all the photos.

How do you like the amazing elephant ears? I’ve had so much fun watching them grow this summer. They come from grapefruit sized bulbs that my husband bought at the big-box store.

When he was just dressed in his blue knit sweater vest and I started out making the sage green corduroy jacket, I thought he was a gardener. But, as I worked on him, I decided he was a forager and his sack is full of all the good things he’s found.

And I foraged all through my studio drawers to find goodies for his bag!

the Hiker

I hope everyone in US had a lovely July 4, even if it was very wet in a lot of places including here in Boston.

My latest fox is a hiker.

He is made of a reclaimed wool sweater and knits always make for a rounder (chubbier) doll.

Here he is standing amongst the alium foliage. In just a few more weeks, all the foliage will be gone and this will be a sea of purple lollipops!

I had to make 2 jackets to get one to fit- the first one was just a bit too tight and he looked so uncomfortable!

This fellow was a special request, based on a child’s drawing. I’ve never done that before but the vision in the drawing was right up my alley!

Yes, he has binoculars. And a green striped sweater vest and a dark red bow tie.

Oh, and look- my fritillaria are blooming!
