While I was at Daddy's last week a fox visited his garden to take the food he'd put out for the birds to her cubs. I managed to get a few pictures through the kitchen window.
fox is kitsune in Japanese and is thought to have magical powers, many folktales about them. You might get stronger colour by using an alum mordant with your rose petals, check Jenny Dean, British natural dye expert. beautiful small patterns in your handstitch piece.
Thanks so much for showing these glorious photos of the fox! Don't have them here in NZ so it's been a long time since I saw them back home in England.
