PLEASE not negative comments! I dont normally sell things like this and this will be the ONLY TIME(hopefully) that I will do so. Negative comments will be hidden immediately.
I bought a bunch of fox tails both for references and a future project. I ended up buying in bulk because it was waaaayyy cheaper and I'd get more variety. Now I'm selling the ones that I dont want/can't use to try and break even in how much I paid per tail. SOME of these I wouldn't suggest be used a wearable tails. they are ALL split all the way down, exposing the leather, but they keep their shape exceptionally well. I'll post details about each tail below. I'm also going to put a small metal eyelet in the tails so they can be mounted or put a keychain on. Again Sizes and prices are below. I tried to take a picture that was closest to the colors as I could. If you want more pictures of your tail , let me know and I will email some to you. The prices vary because of Quality and length of the tails. 'm ONLY willing to ship to US and Canada. PAYPAL ONLY Shipping will be 5$US 8$Canada
1. $14 USD~ "Blondie": mostly reddish blonde with some silver guard haris at the top, very small lighter blonde tip. 19 inches; moderately fluffy, fairly soft. Leather is workable and should be easily sewed shut I would suggest sewing this one and reinforcing it, but should be wearable reguardless. Will include metal eyelet and be brushed.
2. $13 USD~ MED Dark red brown: 15inches, nice white tip and has silver guard hairs at base. Fairly soft, moderately fluffy. Wouldn't be able to sew base of tail as leather is fairly hard(unless you know how to soften it) Keeps its shape extremely well and would be a good wearable tail.
3.TAKEN $14USD~ LONG Dark Red Brown: 20 inches, Soft and fluffy, some silver guard hairs as well as a deep red at base. CANNOT be sewn up at tip of tail as leather is very hard. The leather at the tip of the tail can be seen slightly along the underside of the tail, but otherwise would be a very pretty wearable tail.
4.TAKEN $14 USD~ Silver and black striped: 17.5 inches, beautiful silver/black mottled pattern, very fluffy, moderately soft, beautiful white tip. leather at tip is a bit hard, would still make a great wearable tail.
5. TAKEN $13 USD Silver/black/red/brown cross: 16 inches, very soft and fluffy. Leather is soft and should be easily sewn, would make a great wearable
6.NOT FOR SALE~decided to keep it ;~;
7. TAKEN 14 USD Red spot cross: 17 inches, Mostly black and silver, has a georgous dark red spot at base of tail as well as very pretty mottled silver. very soft and fluffy would also make a great wearable.
I MIGHT end up selling on of the three I set aside for myself(One was a very pretty blonde one, another was a very cool mottled one that couldnt be used for a wearable and another was a dark brown smaller one that I've already partially sewn and put an eyelet in it)
If you want to buy one of the tails Message me below!

Honestly I am pretty surprised too. I did loose watchers over it(I roughly counted about 50), but so far no negative comments. I've actually found that quite a few artists own bones/animal parts for references and know several people wo own real tails for partials. I'm also from a place that hunting is widely accepted and people still use pelts as a method of warmth and the animals for food. I'm also aware that people shoot foxes often as pests, which is upsetting. I've honestly got extremely mixed feelings on fur, the references are undeniable,but I can't help but have a guilty conscience from owning them and knowing that these animals were raised for their pelts. Only way I can justify it for myself is that these animals, in spirit will have a second chance with me. I will use them to create things and will think of them as alive and free and will use them as inspiration for new pieces. It doesnt exactly justify it, but I'm strange that way.
These are all burgundy fox tails, a color only found as a ranch raised animal/pet.
Since you bought it in bulk, more than likely they where ranched fur and the tail's leather was too worn to be used in garmet use.
Just a heads up from someone who's been into collecting pelts/taxidermy for a long time.

thats pretty much what I assumed, I wasn't sure what the color was considered, but knew it wasn't considered silver or cross.
Out of curiosity where do you get your pelts and such? I feel like etsy wasn't the best place to go, but didnt really know where else to look.

SEE REALLY WHAT I DO IS LURE FOXES TO MY HOME WITH THE PROMISE OF ART. Then bop them on the head and viola! Lovely tails! Why do you think i have so few fox commissioners ;P
But hey it happens and I fully respect people's choices on the matter, as long as people are polite.

1&2 still aren't taken if you are interested in either of those.
I bought these from Etsy via glacierwear.com They are some really good prices and are pretty good quality. Also had another Fur point me to them as well and said they have never gotten anything low quality from them ^^
