What does the fox say?

I had another go at this drawing...think it turned out looking a bit more like me this time.  I guess the fox is not strictly to scale though...I have never seen a fox in real life and have always imagined them the size of a cat.  Mr. Millicent Crow assures me they're more the size of a dog!

I'm starting with the man in the mirror

I had a go at drawing a self portrait yesterday...it didn't really turn out looking like me and not just because I don't usually wear a fox around my neck!  But it was fun, back to the drawing board with that one I think!

My Creative Space: My foxy valentine

 

I've been playing around some more with my fox heart drawing.  I've painted the foxes with watercolour, put it on a background and I'm experimenting with some hand-drawn text, typed text and different messages.  I should really hurry up and get it printed! 

 

  I'm thinking about turning the foxes into a fabric design too...I've got Heather Ross Prints out from the library and it has a great looking tutorial for turning drawings into fabric designs in Photoshop.  Some op shop finds today have got me itching to do some sewing too!

How about you, what have you been making?

Joining in with My Creative Space today over here. 

Happy Thursday!

Foxy

The other day I asked Mr. Millicent Crow what the most romantic thing you could have on a Valentine's Day card would be.  Without hesitating he replied "Two foxes facing each other with their tails making a heart."  So because that's the most romantic thing you could have on a Valentine's Day card that's what I've decided to make into Valentine's Day cards.  I think I'm going to paint the foxes with watercolour but here's where it's up to now:

In ink

 

and in pencil

Romantic suggestions for messages to put inside the heart welcome.  At the moment I'm thinking of "Happy Valentine's Day...you fox!"

My funny valentine

Oh my ears and whiskers! It's far too hot to think about wearing one right now, but isn't this Valentine's Day fox just fabulous? It's made by Etsy seller Celapiu. A heart-shaped nose...a "subtle and nostalgic" face...aww!

I just might have to get myself one of these when winter rolls around!
