Two Giraffes and a Fox, oh MY
My goodness but time in a crisis does fly. I have been keeping busy with my art dolls and wooly critters. I am sharing my giraffes and fox: the first is Raj, an eastern Prince who loves his marionette and long walks in the gardens. He is all cloth, gessoed and painted with glass eyes. I made his costume using a sari top that I had in my stash from a thrift store.
The second giraffe is a country gentleman who loves walking in the wood and foraging for mushrooms. He is an avid reader and lover of good food and drink. He sits about 16" tall and in total is about 26", same as his eastern friend Raj:
This country gentleman is going to a good home in Duncan. Finally, I made Mr. Frederick Fox a good friend of Gerome (the country gentleman). He enjoys accompanying him foraging for mushrooms. Once again, my own design and all cloth, gessoed and painted. As you can see, he sits about 10.5" and is about 18" in total.
These fellow were great fun to do and I may do more in the future! I hope you enjoyed your visit.
