It took me about 4 hours, it is cute I have ran out of red wool, for the tail, once I get that I will take a photo and I did not wrap the wool tighty enough for the legs. Something to remember for next time. thank you so much Ruth I cant wait till I do my next one from you 😊

What a cute Mr/Mrs fox, its really lovely. You should definitely have more subs than you have and wow your paintings are absolutely stunning. I can’t draw for toffee which is why I love needle felting so much, I was always great at clay sculpture when I was at school but that was over 30 years ago so when I got into wool sculpture I instantly loved it and picked it up really fast after that and the first thing I did was a fox, then another,then another because I was always told to make 3 of that one animal and you’ll become good on the last one and it’s true, in my case anyway. 😂 I struggle a lot with arthritis in my hands so it takes me a long time to make anything of significance these days, but it’s my hobby and I love it. I usually give them away or give them to charities to auction off to raise money for them. Thanks for sharing Mr/Mrs fox with us.

I got hooked too when I first tried felting too, and its always made me think about molding clay, just one stab at a time. I know what you mean about making 3 to get good. The first fox I made before the video looked like a corgi 😄. I'm sorry to hear about your arthritis, my nan had it terribly in her hands before she passed but she loved to paint and like you didn't let it stop her. I'm not sure if you've heard of it but there's stuff called polymorph, it's polythene pellets that melt in hot water and can be shaped. It becomes solid again when it cools down and can be used to make handles bigger and mold them to your hand, I got some originally to make nans paintbrushes easier to hold. I don't know if it will help but it might be worth a try for your felting needle holders. Thank you for your kind words and thanks for watching 😊

Thanks for letting me know about the sound I really appreciate it! My dad normally picks up on this stuff but he's got spotty internet at the moment so hadn't gotten around to watching. I'm just glad I didn't say anything too embarrassing 😂
