Hello and welcome to my workshop! Last week I had started work on a fox named “Mr. Oak,” but he’s undergone a name change in the meantime (suggestion from a friend of mine – thanks, Teresa!). I phinally phinished work on him today, so allow me to present to you, Mr. Phineas Fox!
His jacket is supposed to be all one color, but I was running short of the green, so I improvised with a blue collar and a stylish woodsy-brown back. If you only took a cursory glance at his ears, please go back and gaze upon them with wonder – I thought I’d never figure out how to get them on. I finally had to abandon the instructions in the book and do it my own way. The tie around his waist looks like a bola, which gives him an edgy look. Too bad he doesn’t have a 5:00 shadow and a cigarette dangling from his mouth.
That was a lot of work. I think I’m going to take a break before going on to the next one in the book, which is a hedgehog.
And here’s the next page in the Psalm series:
I hope you can tell that the round thing is a shield. I failed at getting it to look convex (or is it concave?)
I might be too tired to delete this in the morning, so I think you should do it.

I like the candelabras!

I thought at first you were referencing something about the fox. Yes, the candelabras were an attempt to mimic the candle stands in the temple.

Oh, Phineas Fox – What a wonderfully jaunty Beret! And your “Man of the Woods” jacket is truly dashing…. If I were ever to fall in love with a Fox, it would be with you! But, alas, it is not in my nature. Yet, could we be friends..? And by any chance would you know an acquaintance of mine, Fig Newton?Like yourself, he also enjoys the
great outdoors. I beg your pardon, dear Phineas, if I have been too forward – but I just couldn’t help myself!
Call me sometime…?

My dear Teresa, we could be best of friends! I have not yet met Mr. Fig Newton, but if he’s a friend of yours I’m certain we would get along famously. My fondest regards, Phineas Fox. 🦊

Such a dapper young man that Phineas! T’would be a pipe, not a cigarette he sports. Delete? Absolutely not! T’was a labor of love that introduced us to Phineas! I look forward to reading the tales of Phineas and those of his comrades. Carry on!

You’re right! Phineas would definitely have a pipe, rather than a cigarette. What was I thinking? 🤣

Pardon me if I make phree with phrequent and phrank compliments. Your phunky use of color makes his outfit look phresh and somewhat phlamboyant. I’m sure he’ll meet with phriendly and phull acceptance if and when he’s bestowed upon the little one.
