My hands have been working in a bit of clay this past week. Amid my festive fa-la-la-ing, it's been a tradition since I was a child to make a new ornament to adorn the tree each December. So I decided that our tree was severely lacking a Vulpes vulpes presence. But no longer!

Say hello to Thaddeus Fox.

He was crafted in the following way:

Handsculpted in polymer clay,
Baked in an oven,
Lovingly painted by hand.

The final touch was the thin piece of rope to hang him by.

He definitely has made the tree extra spiffy.
