Description
Apparently I can't photograph white or black things. Another fox, a commission this time. I did a few things a bit differently on this one. I doubled the amount of wire in the tail, so it's much more posable. I also carded the wool and silk before rooting it as fur, which made it more uniform in color and shine. BTW, there aren't any scratches on the eyes, they just look that way in a couple of shots because of a stray hair that I didn't notice.

I don't like fur rooting, and in the future I'd rather make something like this with angora, which will bloom and look fuzzy, and also be uber soft.

Needle felted superfine merino wool batt, merino wool top, and Tussah silk over wire and polyester batting armature, with hand painted plastic safety eyes.
