A few carefully-torn scraps of paper and a black pen are all you need to create this little woodland creature - the latest embellishment in our quest for junk journal whimsy. Get foxy with me!

If you’re looking for more junk journal ponderings…. Last summer, I made a limited-series podcast about all my deep thoughts regarding junk journaling. It’s free on the Spotify app! Search for “Ordinary Paper” or link here:

Note that in the first episode, I mention that I was doing a podcast because I didn’t think I had enough ideas for a KZfaq channel. Things (happily) went a different way, so ummm, never mind on that!

I love them and especially enjoy your creativity emerging as you tear the paper and create! Keep up the fun and creative whimsy! Mr. Fox is definitely a winner!!!

I love foxes. Have you ever seen yellowstone doc on pbs and the foxes jump high and straight down in the snow for prey. So pecious😅 your fox with his cocked head and bushy tail is just as precious. You are such a light in my world😊❤❤❤omg youve outdone yourself. His friends are too 😍

Thank you so much- and do you know what, I actually just flipped through my grandson's set of Eric Carne playing cards for inspiration. I would never try to rip off his artistry (Eric's, not my grandson's!) but creativity can spark from so many places. All I know is, I'm having great fun with this! Thanks for watching!

I love this adorable fox! I just recently discovered your channel, and I’m enjoying your projects so much! I had the great pleasure of traveling to Prince Edward Island in August 2022. It had been on my bucket list for years, because of my love of Anne Shirley. I wanted to let you know that they indeed have foxes there. We saw a couple of them playing a few yards away from the road we were driving on, and we’re able to get a quick picture. I think your cute fox would fit right in!!😍

Just reading this makes me want to got to PEI immediately! Yes, I've wanted to go there myself ever since I was a kid. Dear Anne Shirley has always had my heart. So the foxes are real there - how lovely! Thank you so much for watching - I'm delighted you have joined me here.

Anne, I love that you show off these natural creatures in such a whimsical sense. I am a big nature gal and genuinely appreciate your sharing your makes on these. I was thinking if you changed up a few things on this fox, you could easily make a cute raccoon. Or a bear. Or other similar shaped creatures. I also watched Anne with an E on Netflix. A lovely show that ended way too soon. Anyway, thanks so much for sharing. I'm looking forward to your next little guy or gal! Have a lovely Friday! Sue 😊❤

@jennr7500 3 ай бұрын

What a cute fox! I enjoyed the making of him as whimsical BUT I saw much more whimsy as you made him. I thought each phase as an eye or nose were added, that he was actually paying attention. The added tilts of his head - even when you just pushed him to the side was quite humorous! Did you notice his sniffing, peeking one-eyed by cover of his tail and hinting for feet with what seems to be more like shoes? (Extra bits near his body when he was off to the upper left.). How I wish his head could have ended up cocked to the left but at first he seemed to stare as if “and where might I find some appropriate feet madame?” (He can be quite formal in his red tux!). Just wonderfully whimsical! He looks quite happy! 😊❤. And very clever is he!

@annekenlon 3 ай бұрын

Thanks, Mary! I hope you try the fox soon! Yes, the Netflix series did get dark, some of which was appropriate considering Anne's sad backstory - but I thought some of the later story lines were so far-fetched that they verged on ridiculous. Gold in Avonlea? Please! And in the final season, why did Anne go from braids and pinafores to dresses for a middle-aged woman in the course of moments? Ah, well. At least she and Gilbert made up! We knew they would! And I liked the fact that they included more racial and cultural diversity in this version. It was an interesting take, even though not perfectly done.

Oh, I deliberately do my tears the way I do because I very much want that white border. The raw edge picks up distress ink very nicely so I can easily give an aged look to my pieces.
