... the quick brown fox ...

 

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog

.....

what an amazing sentence this is !

 

And who ever invented it ???

 

I remember when I first saw it

(waaaaaaaaay back in highschool probably)

I could hardly believe

that all the letters of the alphabet

are in such a short sentence !

(ha, check for yourself, if you don't believe me)

 

Here is another brown fox (though not so quick)

still soapy and wet

but nearly finished !

 

Making daughters wet felted cats was so much fun

that I couldn't wait to give it another go 

a fox this time.

(though Gabi's PDF is for cats,

a fox should be made in a similar way)

 

I love foxes

I love the way they walk, love their wit, love their colour.

 

I know : when you have a farm with chickens,

you probably don't love foxes.

It's a predator no doubt,

but lots of other beautiful animals are.

"The making of the fox" .....  with an interested spectator ...

(ah, the white blob on Bagheera's face was a spec of soap on the lens)

 

It'a a challenge to get two equally large ears !

 

Although I didn't have any black "Bergschafwolle"

the dark gray colour with which I " built" the frame

worked well enough

 

Here he is (or she) rinsed, dried in a towel, shaped again

and waiting till he's totally dry.

 

(Then the last akward job : making the nose mouth and eyes !

with a felting needle this time)
