I photographed a family of young red foxes as they were growing up in the woods on Griffin Mountain. The image was taken from a blind early one foggy morning. Grooming is an important part of fox society, but this was one of the few times I witnessed it. I like the way the image projects a sense of intimacy, tenderness, and calm between the foxes – characteristics not often associated with the species.
This tutorial will show you how to make an origami paper fox. Paper folding is something I’ve always liked to do, and I thought I’d post a tutorial on how to make one of my favorite creatures. You, too, will soon be making your own paper fox army once you practice making them (p.s. they will take practice!).Â
You need two sheets of square paper to complete one fox. Take note of the picture in the next step to find out what the paper should look like after folding that particular step. Most of these folds are what you would consider a “valley fold” though a few are a combination of mountain and valley, hopefully following the instructions and seeing the pictures will help give you an idea of what direction to fold.
 …and now… on with the tutorial!
For a little history, this tutorial was made in 2008 and was actually constructed so it could be photocopied. The text was typed, printed, cut and pasted next to the illustrations.Â
