My friend Juidiith Clawson showed me the latest cover of Pier 1 Imports catalog last week! Such a great cover, no? Juidiith was saying how this would make a great Halloween costume, I couldn't agree more.
I love drawing foxes. period. nuff said.
But I also like paper mache foxes! I made this "Fantastic Mr. Fox" last year in commemoration of Fantastic Mr. Fox coming out and for my first dinner party I threw out here in Utah.
I was so in love with how he turned out that I decided I needed to make a mantel for him to hang above. So I made a paper-mache fire place mantel as well. One of my favorite craft projects thus far!
Gosh I LOVE fall and nature! That wreath above the mantel was easily made
from twigs just tied together and simply hung. Then I took my red maple leaves that I had collected and dried days prior and glue-guned a tiny drop of glue on the twigs and stuck the leaves on. So simple and delicate. It was great for last years fall...
This was in the apt I was living previously before the one I am in now. :) I just realized my new place doesn't have a fireplace..... :(

I love your wreath!
I got that Pier 1 ad in the mail. I thought it was pretty awesome. Although I get their emails as well and it was really bizarre to open up an email and see a unicorn in the living room...they're really taking the fantasy angle this season :)
I think the Mr Fox is fantastic! You are a natural paper mache artist.
Thanks Laura! That is hilarious about the unicorn, I missed that - I would love to see it... gotta head to my local Pier 1 I think!
Thank you Dan Monster man! :)
