Yes, I'm afraid so. For the past few weeks I've been putting together a set of simple folk animals, for no reason other than that they were fun to do. They're nice little animals, though, and might make a good hanging for a child's room. Here are the first two.
No mystery about this antelope…
The ideas for them came from various images that I've collected in my "For Inspiration" files, but I'm not sure what artistic traditions they came from originally. In particular I wish I knew what the pink animal is.
It's not a rabbit – rabbits don't have tails like that. It's not a squirrel – squirrels don't have big ears. Maybe a fox? But that's not a fox's face. It might have originally been a Talavera animal – it has that kind of feeling to it. But no matter what its origin, it was a lot of fun to do
I love them both. My Grandbabies just fell in love with them.
I vote for fox.
🙂
And I love love love the antelope!!!
Oh my gosh Mia, I Love these ultra fun, creative, imaginative, folk animals. They are colorful and have a fun array of different stitch patterns interwoven in all parts of their bodies.
Invite for fox, there is a small fix that lives in the desert that has extremely big ears.
Sorry for all the typos, I vote for fox.
Oh, it is Fennec fox, I suppose. Also called dessert fox.
The antelope is also great!
Thank you for sharing.
Love them but then I like folk art. That fox is my favourite Mia thanks for sharing
