Squirrel Style

Hmmm....


Brand spankin new critter cute hand-dyed, silkscreened top from Bonspiel!, shown on "Goldie" the model du bronze. The little corduroy patches on the shoulders are super charming...
This creation is obviously inspired by the ever-present gray squirrel in the Capital City.
I have grown to adore these little guys (althought their presence can be perceived to be more like an invasion than an inhabitation).
In Greek translation, squirrel means "tail that casts a shadow"...
There is an especially handsome little character in my neighbourhood who likes to use the network of James Bay telephone wires as a highway system. He travels back and forth across the wires outside my kitchen window (of course, competing with my favourite flock of birds) at the same time every afternoon, harvesting any nuts he can get his ittybitty paws on. He hoards his food in numerous small caches in the pots out front my home for recovery later. His fierce determination is inspiring, and urban antics always amusing...

The Squirrel shirt is handmade by Ellen Box, who resides in this lovely city. Ellen also designs a lot of the bags and clothes for thee ever-alluring Smoking Lily... Très bien! Squirrelly spellbinding and stylish...
