I subscribe to a lovely little literary magazine called “Slightly Foxed”. “Foxing” is the reddish-brown staining you sometimes see on old books, and each issue of the magazine features a little fox somewhere on the cover. So I thought I do a fox design in honour of the magazine, and came up with this
The Fox
I sent it to them, offering it as a possible cover, but although they liked it they said regretfully that because the foxes on their covers were small and inconspicuous, this one wouldn’t really fit their style. But they asked if they could use it on some of their newsletters and some of the material that they publish on the internet, so I’m looking forward to seeing it appear there one of these days
Is this fox an embroidery design or just a drawing? It’s very enjoyable either way.
OMG Mia, you have outdone yourself with your little fox! He is absolutely stunning and delightful. Love all of the different stitch fills that you used, especially in the tail. It looks so feathery.
Speechless! Let us know when it is used in their publications. My book club will be interested in the website too. Thanks for sharing – again!
He’s just adorable, especially his tail! Congratulations on this. I wonder if they rendered him in blacks and whites (grays), he’d fit in better. They could then show a small full color blurb in the inside with your name. Of course he could be a she…
Congratulations. How rewarding to be recognized for your hard and excellent work. Your Fox is so intricate and interesting as well as being handsome.
Again! I am truly amazed!
That’s wonderful! I love when your designs get noticed outside the embroidery community!
Mia, I love him. I recognize some of the same traits used in him that you used in your zodiac design. Love everything about him, especially his tail. You are a true artist.
Very “Foxy” 🙂
I like a lot, I find the embroidery on the fabric and on the animal very well chosen and executed
He Mia
It’s very wonderful
It’s a substantial work
I like your fills and colors
Thanks for shared this with us
Wonderful! Eyes only…no words…Thank you
F is for fox! What a delightful little guy. Thanks for sharing!
Oh, the tail on this little beauty! Love him.
