Description Death is a part of life. I didn't kill this animal. It was already dead when I bought it. Please no harsh comments. 
I am a nice person and accept other opinions. If you also do, but don't like fur, then please just don't look at this image and rather go looking at things you like. Also, I sometimes misidentify furs and you're welcome to correct me. But you have to know that I'm not new to furs and you don't have to tell me what I already know. Thank you (:

Yes, that is a dead fox. Yes, I think it is cute. Just forget it is dead for one minute and look at it's face. Don't you want to rub it's belly all day long?

This is Snowblue. My cute lil' Snowblue. She is small, cuddly, soft, cute, sweet, beautiful and I love her for being all that. I got her on the flea market. She wasn't all cheap compared to other stoles sold there, but I just HAD to buy her; I guess you all know why. Normally I hate these types of eyes, but her's aren't that creepy and weird-looking. Her's give her a really cute face, almost as if she was a Chibi. Chibi Snowblue. Let's make that a thing. 

She is actually pretty small and despite her tiny tail and her big ears, she could be a juvenile fox, but I'm not sure. 

More photos of her:

Tail: sta.sh/010fri5yziyq (yes, it IS much lighter than the body, but it's not another fox's tail)

Name: Snowblue
Species: arctic fox (blue)
Length: didn't measure

Love the coloring!  I have an old blue fox stole I am considering re-mounting.

Oh yes I love her, too! I never noticed that she was pretty dark compared to other blues. xD
I want to see it when you're finished! Oh no, wait. I'd also like to see it pre-finish with some WIP pictures. That'd be wonderful! I also have some foxes with really awkward faces ^^

Here is her head form, just as I am beginning to set the eyes.   Here she is on my work bench.   I am getting ready to do a 'mini-tutorial on her ears. I'm using a new (to me!) type of fiber based ear liner called 'celastic ear liners'.  You soak them in hot water, shape them, and when they dry there are hard again. There may also be more WIP pics of her in her gallery folder (?) The process for making her is pretty much the same as Montana's.  I did a Tutorial on his construction as a series of 7 journal articles. There is a link to this series in his gallery folder.

Sie is aber eh sehr dunkel! Ich hab noch nie so einen dunklen in der Hand gehabt, oder jemanden näher gekannt, der so einen hat. Den möcht ich mir auch unbedingt angucken, wenn wir uns bei dir treffen^^

Naja, ich glaub sie sieht auf dem Foto ein wenig dunkler aus, als sie in Wirklichkeit ist. Es ist total lustig, wenn man bei seinen Fellen einfach durchs Fotografieren auf Dinge draufkommt, die einem sonst nicht aufgefallen wären. Ach, wenn du zu mir kommst, zeig ich dir sowieso alles

SO CUTE AGH!

Ugh, I love stoles. Finding a good condition one for a decent price is the hard part though. ;;

YES!

You're so right! It's easy to get a common silver or red fox stole in a bad condition for a cheap price, but it is so hard to find a good one! Snowblue actually was cheap for a stole, but expensive in comparison to other stoles sold on the flea market. But she was definitely worth the price despite her cute- and fluffiness <3

I've been curiously ebay'ing stoles and the only ones that come up are damaged reds or just minks. There's a blue or two that are GORGEOUS but of course the seller wants 200+ for them. Sheesh.

She's very sweet I'm getting my first fox sole soon, what's the leather like on them?

chertan-fur In reply to NL-Lynx [2015-04-13 18:36:47 +0000 UTC]

I only got stoles which are probably old. That's the main reason most of them aren't really soft. But Snowblue is, probably because she's an arctic fox. The leather on my stoles is still a bit flexible and not hard, but definitely not as soft and flexible as a newer pelt would be. Well, in the end it all depends on the age and condition
That's great! What stole will you get?

NL-Lynx In reply to chertan-fur [2015-04-13 18:47:57 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I don't think the one im getting is too old. I may still get a new one if we win the auction xD the two I'm looking at are both European reds

That's nice! Although ranched foxes are nice, I also love wild reds, especially with the orange-red-white coloration on their necks. I wish I had a red fox stole that has the quality of Snowblue
