So I decided to paint a fox ... as you do

I've made a few scrapbooks, just cut out images from magazines, postcards and flyers.   Images I like, and that might inspire me to stitch.  I came across this elegant fox in a photo accompanying an article about someone or other.   It looks freestanding, maybe a solid structure covered with fabric?  The tail definitely looks 3 dimensional.   I kept getting the urge to try making a fox of my own.  No, I don't know why either ...
It's only a 1st version, and needs another few coats, but the basic shape's there.  I used the back of an old poster to paint on, and have made a tail from lots of layers of cut up tissue paper.  What I'm going to do with it, I don't know.   Maybe translate it into needlepoint at some stage?   The only other thing I could think of would be to turn it into a version of 'pin the tail on the donkey'.  You'd pin the tail onto Reynard instead.   Though it would mean me chopping his tail off so it could get pinned back on.  Ouch!

    Hi - I'm a (mumble mumble) year old singleton, living in South West England, in a cluttered flat with too many metres of fabric and too few biscuits in the tin!
