Fox, v.2!

Click him to go to his flickr set!
I made him as a challenge to myself to work faster. I made him in 2 days ( I had planned for only one day, but I got sick and didn't want to touch him). He's made in all natural yarn. The orange is 100% Peruvian wool, and the brown is a wool and alpaca (love it!) blend.

He's got a super soft body, flexible/bendable tail, with hand painted eyes. He's only six individual parts, with yarn woven and brushed out for a fuzzy look.

He's the second fox I've made, Compare to this from only three months ago.


I feel that I'm learning with each new piece, and I'll be applying some of these new techniques to future dolls.

Settling in!
