For safety I then make another 2 finger bubble and attach the balloon around the first pinch twist.

Get rid of the excess balloon but leave some excess of the 160 coral here, since making the fox I have an idea that will help sit the eyes more securely into place.

See even now the fox design is evolving.

Push one of the ears through the loop twist, if you struggle here then next time make the loop twist a little larger.

If the excess of the coral 160 is pulled down tight'ish and under the mouth of the fox you can then attach up and around the second
eye and it will help to pull the two eyes into the correct place on the head and also hold it securely in place.

Draw on a little artwork and there you have the fox, I hope you like it as I'm rather chuffed with this design.

As I mentioned earlier it might look nicer with a slightly longer face, 5 fingers in length instead of the 4 fingers that I did.

Don't have coral so I made it in orange. I added a white tail tip because I think that always looks cute on foxes.

Now the real problem is.... I STILL don't know what the fox says, but mine mostly said "squeak" as I was making it....  :lol:

Yes I was in two minds about adding the white tip for tail, I did post one here with but decided to do the instructions without.
Thanks for posting.

I had a few issues, a cheek popped on me so I did a running repair with the left over 160, and I just can't seem to get the ears to sit the same as Graham's. But, overall I'm fairly happy with my first try.

Here is my attempt!!
Photo quality isn't great unfortunately.....
I definitely need to work on his eyes/ears...not quite sure what happened...haha

ive not used coral before, it a nice one! here is my Mr Fox!! he even managed to catch himself some lunch!

The competition closes on the 7th March, so still a week to enter.
We only have four entries at the moment so a good percentage chance for people to win.

Here is mine then.

Thanks for doing the competitions Graham.

Here's my go at the Fox. I changed the tail for a 350, and used a 260 for the ears as I need to restock my bag with 160's. A choccy brown for the feet and nose for the same reason!
I used the rest of the 160 white for two eyes.

I might be submitting this twice, not sure it uploaded
I popped round to see Graham and Lyn at the start of the week,
They did a great job servicing one of my floor standing pumps which had had a lot of use and had accumulated a little bit of dust etc
Many thanks again for  the complimentary service !!! and the fancy coffee

A little late announcing the winner this month as we were up in Birmingham running a couple of Care & Share Balloon days.

The winner out of the hat this month is Kim, Congrats.

I made the fox today with a couple of modifications.
I used 2 full balloons plus 2 scraps (orange ears with a hidden pinch twist in the middle, and the nose) and a puffed heart for the tongue. I also changed the paws for a bracelet.
