Mark my words, you guys: Foxes are the new owls.
I'm seeing the vulpine vixens all over Etsy (and elsewhere) these days -- and, since my beloved pooch looks not unlike a fox herself, I'm especially partial to them. (Still, I hope they don't reach the same level of saturation we've seen with birds, deer, and the aforementioned owls, thus dooming them to cliché and then passé status.)
Here, a collection of my favorite foxy finds. Top: Fox Print, $25 from e.soule
Fox in Trees Canvas, $110, and Red Foxen, $78, from Abigail Brown
Masquerade Print, $20 from Ashley G
The Duke of Ny Print, $35 from Matte Stephens
Fox Chubbikin, $18 each from Erin Ellis
Skinny Dipping, $20 from Kristiana Parn
Sydney in Blue Flowers Napkins, $20 for two from Cakehouse
Red Fox Print, $15 from Berkley Illustration
Foxy Wisdom Print, $20 from Zetta
Fox Print, $25 from Andrew Neyer
Moxy Print $17 from Amber Alexander
Mr Fox Moleskine, $12 from Melody Seal
Cake With Mr. Fox Print, $13 from Emma Klingbeil
Fox Amigurimi, $72 from Penguin & Fish
Mr. Fox, Esquire Print, $17 from Marmee Craft
Fox Valentine's Day Card, $3 from Amy Blackwell
Pink Fox Doll, $13 from Run Amok
Quietly Print, $30 from Groundwork
There are literally thousands more examples, but I gotta stop now ...
So what do you think -- are foxes the new Etsy animals du jour? And if so, is it just an offshoot of the whole "woodland creatures" thing? If not, what species gets your vote for the next big trend? (I know, I know. It's a question of earth-shattering importance.)

i wonder what the duke of ny has got in his pipe! lol i agree with you... foxes def seem to be following the owls.
Shhh. Ixnay on the oxfay! They're my favorite, and I really don't want to see them on everything at Urban Outfitters.
Me like foxes too. Let's keep it our secret.
Alas, I believe all woodland creatures have become the hipest of the hip. I still love them though. Especially foxes.
Ha ha, I just did a list of my favorite foxes the other day! Great minds think alike. My collection can be seen here http://melodyseal.blogspot.com/
Thanks for including my notebook xx
Alright, fox love! They tie with raccoons for my fav woodland critter. You've made a really sweet collection--thanks for including my print. =)
my vote is for jellyfish.
also, i know erin ellis! i went to school with her, she's a total sweetheart...and how fun are those Chubbikins?!
my vote is for giraffe. graham's vote is for gorilla.
Chickens - hens, specifically. Urban chickens are the new garden/home accessory, plus they give you fierce eggs.
Foxes - who would have thought! I like the fox print!
I like the foxes! I'm the creative dr. for a gift book/trend publisher and while searching for artwork at the Surtex Show last year saw tons of Russian doll art. It seemed like it might be big. Not sure if it's really caught on, anyone? Personally, I didn't really see it for product but just curious!
Hi Heather,
I think the Russian doll thing has already had its moment.
Anyone vote for polar bears?
"Vulpine?"
You rock my world!
Sorry, Erin. Bad alliteration ... it's a weakness.
;-)
nice round up.
