Love the Fox

Created using both Illustrator and Photoshop, bought resources and my own illustration. 

Foxes are special and it is terrible that the current government is considering to water down the current ban on fox hunting despite the fact that people (the people who voted for them) don't want that. This is my protest. 

You have today to be heard. Contact your MP if you can. :D

Another in my Vintage Cage series, this time I've listened to the call of the wild and assembled a menagerie of bought, free and public domain resources in Photoshop and given them some of my own personal magic.

Crafting

It's been a couple of weeks of crafting and all sorts of little things, in preparation for Christmas.

These are last week's fruits of my labour:

Hearts, 

birds 

and stars, wooden shapes covered in fabric (birds), paper and glitter: Ready to hang.

This is how I started off yesterday:

These bits of tissue paper became

flowers:

 and then were attached to a wire frame:

 which in turn was covered in at least 40 but more like 50 flowers to hang as a wreath on my door. :-)

These little fellows and their fellow bambi wooden shapes were first fixed up with some brooch pins and little hangers (or in the case of the bambis relieved of their bits of string),

 then covered in a couple of coats of paint:

before they were painted individually, little owls

 and little foxes

and bambi had a coat of glitter applied:

They all still need a coat of varnish, then they can go off into the world, except for the bambis, the first lot of ornaments and the wreath, those are this year's Christmas decorations. :-) If you want a little owl or fox (pendant or brooch, colours available are brown, white and black), give me a shout, otherwise they'll go in my Etsy shop soon.

Another a digital collage of images from various (vintage) resources, including some I bought, some which are in the public domain and some from The Graphics Fairy, Vintage Printable and Karen's Whimsy. I added my own flair and and imagination and a little magic to make this. 

When I tried to explain to someone today how they come about I realised that in a way they are like a picture puzzle but they're also a story and the solution to the puzzle all in one. This one is about the vagaries of destiny and how it determines our everyday.

Sleepy Little Fox

Do not copy or publish this in any way, shape or form without my written permission.

This was created in Photoshop. I have a thing about little foxes and simple shapes. It was based on a little crochet fox I did a while back. The pattern for it can be found on Etsy.

The painting is created from basic vector shapes that then were manipulated and overlaid with textures.

All images/textures/brushes my own or bought. 

Edited with Photoshop.

All my images are available on Redbubble, Artflakes, Society6 and Bluecanvas as prints, cards, posters, skins for laptops, Blackberry, iPhones and other phones (for the skins go toBluecanvas). You can now also get most of my images on cushion covers (go to Society6 for these).

I have a real thing about foxes at the moment. I've always liked them, but suddenly, I don't know, they just make me smile. This is a fox I made from fimo and then placed in  his own little nest to take pictures of. There are a few more shots of him which I will show you soon....

I am so busy with all the crochet, painting (yes, on real canvas) at the moment, it's difficult to keep up with everything.
