Finished Bone Fox for @bonefox. black minky fabric and hand embroidery in cotton plus additional cat hair. Thanks Diva.

This is my own pattern for the head (although the embroidery hides all the detail and i forgot to get before pics ugh) and an altered version of @beezeeart‘s fox body pattern. namely adding poofy bits to the thighs, splitting the back into two peices with some changes in shape to add a bit more dimension, and a new tail. But still mostly the same basic shape. It’s a good shape.

Bone Fox will be sent off for a great postal adventure soon, before starting her new job as the market stall mascot.

Progress on the Bone Fox for @bonefox. It's possible that it would have been easier to sew on the skull in white fabric rather than embroider it but it didn't occur to me till now when it's too late. Head pattern is my own design, body is an altered version of the tiny fox. Better photos to come when it's done and not dark. Also that is Dorian. He's lying on all my sewing gear. He likes to be involved in things.

The Bone Goddess by Rhiannon Lavis - Part of the team at bonefox

The Bone Goddess is something I drew a couple of years ago, but she had been in my head for years before that. I keep wanting to draw her over and over.

To me, she is a spirit of death. But to understand her you must understand the role death plays in nature. Death is not evil or cruel, it is a necessary part of natures cycles; in order for things to live, other things must die. Animals must consume other animals or plants, plants must consume the nutrients found in the bodies of the dead. We came from the earth and return to it, over and over in a perfect cycle where nothing is wasted.

The Bone Goddess oversees that cycle, she ensures that creatures die at the right time, that their bodies are not wasted. She is decay and the feasting of roots on bodies. She cares for the scavengers who assist her task, such as vultures, hyenas and sharks. Her companion in this artwork is a Griffon Vulture.

She abhors waste and anything that interrupts the cycle of death to life. Her enemies are poachers, trophy hunters, and those responsible for the needless deaths of war.

(This artwork was done in ballpoint pens on A3 watercolour paper, and is now sold)
