Something Foxy for Friday

Back at the beginning of the year, I posted about the rise in fox designs. At that point, it was merely something I noticed, but I have grown into an active participant. Now I have a "thing" for foxes.

Though they will never surpass elephants and squids (my favorite animals), foxes have breached my Top 5. This ring sealed the deal :

Bronze Fox Ring by Michaeltatom on Etsy.com, $120

The Bronze Fox Ring encapsulates the essence of a fox (the ears, nose, and tail) but manages to be so simple. Christmas list! Christmas list!

Here's the recap...I had a ton of fun this week!

I finally launched my digital design portfolio!

Awesome guest post from Lauren Dixon about savvy and stylish traveling.

Apple cider donuts, hooray!


Everyone have a foxy weekend!

Hey remember that owl trend? O wait, it's still happening.

Owls are :

Sneak attack hunters

Wise

Can spin their heads a long way around

Nocturnal

Cough-ers of un-digestible dinner pellets

Unlikely characteristics for a design trend, but we've made them incredibly cute and trendy. I even made an owl pattern once. Eventually this print will be on something in our homemade home. Maybe a journal? Any ideas?

But now there is a new animal trend on the rise, as equally unlikely, but just as cute when design-ified. Here some clues:

• Sneaky
• Clever
• Hunter of rodents and small critters
• Nocturnal 
• Foxy

Got it yet?

It's a fox!! Foxes are on the rise!

Here's some of my new favorite fox designs.
