Foxy lady!

Kit the rag-fox


This is Kit.
Kit likes vintage things and she's very keen on mid-century design. She likes to spend her weekends browsing flea markets and antique shops hoping to find lovely little items to add to her collection. Kit has a really good eye for design.

Kit listens to the radio Nekkid Kit
(Click on the pictures to see them bigger in my Flickr.)


Kit is made out of orange wool and she's filled with rags and a little bit of batting. Her eyes are tiny black buttons and her belly button is a fabulous orange plastic button. She has lovely blushy cheeks and her nose is embroidered. The tip of Kit's tail is white velvet.

Kit wears a grey long sleeved T-shirt with multicoloured flocked dots on it, and a turquoise corduroy jumper skirt with metal buttons. The T-shirt closes in the back with velcro and the dress has a hook & eye closure in the back.


I took these photos at my grandparents', who I visited earlier this week. It's always nice to have a different backdrop than our white walls and the few photogenic nooks and crannies we have here at home. :)
Unfortunately a lot of the photos I snapped didn't come out too well. I had a rather meager selection to work with at that, since the upstairs of my grandparents' house isn't heated (it's used mainly for storage) and it was absolutely freezing up there, so I didn't feel like having a long photo-session. I'm glad that I did get just enough good photos though; it would have been a shame to have to re-shoot these here at home, without the cool old radio -which doesn't work, but gosh it looks neat!- and wallpaper. :)

Oh my goodness Eerika, I knew your fox would be brilliant but she is just incredibly beautiful! I am so in awe of you at this moment!I would love that outfit! fantastic pictures too, I adore that old radio and the wallpaper, just perfect for Kit. Someone mentioned that you may take commissions over on Flickr, you know I have been wanting to get my paws on a Rag Pet for a while, now I have gone into desperation mode. Probably not the place for this so will mail.
Wonderful toy making Elf!
