Sculpted mask base out of foam clay and then felted into it.

Here's another addition to my tiny fluffy foxes: two matching little critters with pink and brown tails! I sometimes like to imagine they're twins, or perhaps a pair of besties!

I made the brown first as more of an experiment to see how that color of wool would look on a tail. After it came out differently than I expected, I quickly got an idea of what to use it for, but I knew I'd want to make a matching pink-tailed fox as well. It also worked out, as the particular pink I used, which I'd gotten from a previous Hamanaka Aclaine kit, was one I'd had trouble figuring out what to make with initially.

Like the rainbow-tailed fox and donut I shared recently, these two have since been paired with matching little desserts of their own, which I hope to share photos of later. Can you guess what I gave to each of them? (Hint: I chose the same dessert for both foxes, but each is in its respective fox's tail color!)

While I feel I could definitely improve in some places, such as how one of the wires in the feet ended up breaking accidentally at some point while making the pink-tailed fox, these two little guys are a notable milestone, in that they're the first tiny foxes I've made entirely with Hamanaka Aclaine wool! Except for Rainbowtail, the foxes I've made thus far have used Aclaine for everything except the eyes, since I didn't have that kind of wool in black yet. But now, I've got enough different colors of Aclaine to try out a bunch of different designs, and I'd like to get even more someday!

I'd definitely like to continue exploring cute little fluffy fox designs, but for now, I hope you enjoy these two!

My little halloween creations. All are gifts for friends. I even made a little spellbook where the cover opens. They are definitely rough around the edges but as someone who's never been considered "artistic" I'm very proud of my progress so far!

My finished Halloween piece! How is that?

Just finished the giraffe, I've been felting on and off for like 2 weeks and am loving it. Any tips?

Someone got a shave. His fur is perfect as a base 😂
