Little Fox Cane

I finished this cane last week but couldn't take photos.... my camera battery ran out and I couldn't find my charger, ordered a new one and had to wait for it to arrive before I could take photos. Trying to find things in my new studio is very frustrating, right now I am looking for my micro beads, I know they are here somewhere.  I need to put up more shelves so things will be in plain site instead of tucked away in drawers..... aaaagggghhh!!!

Okay I made this Little Fox Cane

I like foxes so when I found a fabric pattern with cute little foxes I thought it would make a nice cane. I started with the head


and worked my way down


I have gobs of scrap clay so decided to use some of it for the back ground. In order to make the cane square I made a tree effect on the left


When the the cane is flipped over and the "tree" sides put together it looks more like a tree, as you can see with the two canes at the bottom.


I usually don't make canes this big so I ended up with way more foxes than I will ever use. I used one of them to make a couple kaleidoscope canes. I plan to make Little foxes jewelry and will use these to make matching beads.


There is a ground hog that lives under our back porch, I named him Phil.  Isn't that clever of me?  He suns himself on the back step every morning. My cats are not fond of Phil and refuse to go out in the backyard because of him.... and the deer... they don't care for them either.  I thought having a resident ground hop was kind of neat until I read all the damage they can do with their burrowing. We may have to call someone to relocate Phil.  


This is poor Corny sitting in the window keeping a eye on Phil. She is not a happy cat and has voted to have him evicted..... the sooner the better. 


That's it for today. I am now working on a border cane to use with the Foxes. 

Thanks for stopping by.

  1. The fox cane is adorable!!!! All personality for sure.
    Your Phil may not be as famous as the other Phil, but he sure has found a wonderful home for himself. We relocated a possum and let me tell you it wasn't easy. Getting him out of the cage was a real hassle, My son had to hold the cage upside down, because he refused to leave. He was hanging on for dear life, but finally he let go and is living happily in the woods about five miles away.

  2. Adorable cane, BJ! I vote for a Phil cane... much easier to deal with than the real thing ;)

  3. Wow, it's great, BJ!! The cane, not Phil. Yes, you will need to get rid of him for sure, hopefully it won't be too hard. So the kitties have started to adjust to their new home? I suspect once Phil is gone they will be way more comforable. :) Hugs!

  4. I feel your frustration about getting the studio organized. I vowed this past weekend that I will not create one more piece of anything until I organize all my clay and beads. Now sticking to that vow will be the hard part!
