It has been a while since I posted anything finished. There is a lot of “in progress” going on in my studio. Today we meet a little girl fox in a very nice green linen coat.
The collar and pockets are rough weave (raw) silk. Her dress is a lovely Liberty cotton lawn.
Here is a close-up of the back of the dress.
She is wearing a blue linen jacket and a dress made from another Heather Ross double gauze print.
My foxes wardrobe color palette has gotten a LOT brighter since I taught the fox class back in January. I am now using colors and combinations that I never would have considered before!
I think she looks a little bit scared in this one-
She is wearing a corduroy coat in colors that remind me of a pumpkin. I guess I’m jumping the seasons a bit!
I cut out a little frog from the fabric and made a badge for her jacket. The dress is made from double gauze with a Heather Ross print.
All her stuff, front-
And back-
I had a lot of fun with the details on this one. Don’t you love her jacket with the rabbit print and the corduroy collar and cuffs? I bought that rabbit fabric lots of years ago on a trip with my son to Portland, Oregon. Using the fabric reminds me of the trip!
I put a plaid panel on her backpack. Maybe I was inspired by Moonrise Kingdom which I watched recently (loved it!).
She has a silk bow at her ear. And she has a necklace with a heart, a leaf, and a feather.
Here is all her stuff-
It turns out that when the temperature is in the 90’s and the humidity is through the roof, I just can’t bring myself to dress my foxes in wool. This little girl fox is very summery indeed!
She has a Liberty dress and a linen jacket.
Her shawl is a rough raw silk.
She has her purse with a charm and a notebook in it.
Here she is with all her stuff.
And the back view.
And I really need to show you the tiny little buttons- love them!
And here she is, standing amongst the allium in my garden. Did you notice? The print on her dress is allium!
And the last pug for now.
A black dog is very hard to photograph. Either you can see the details and everything is overexposed or the colors are correct and the face is too dark. Oh well. She looks adorable in real life!
A few overexposed photos so you can see her cute face.
And waiting on the porch for pictures.
Her sweater is Watermelon colored- perfect for summer!
And now back to the happy pugs!
I do like making these cuties! And here she is with her friend.
Both dogs have cashmere coat fabric bodies. Her ears are also cashmere, his are alpaca. Their “jackets” are wool. Her skirt is a cashmere sweater ribbing.
We still have snow on the ground but I saw some crocus blooming in front of a house on my street. There is hope.
