    Full mask Fox sporran just finished.

    This is my first attempt at a Fox full mask sporran. The pelt I was working with did not have any ears and the face was rather damaged, but after some stitching and glueing, plus a little fabrication from supplus materials, this is the results.The fur on the sporran bag was salvaged from an old fox sleeved coat and the new bag was made from suplus leather pieces stitched and glued in the traditional way. I did not have a form for this mask so I had to wet formed a base from thick leather and let it dry over night. Then I glued the mask in place and set the eyes. I chose to wet form the flap as well, so it would fit better with the head. It was stitched and glued onto the mask as well.

    I haven't done a full face though I have done a fur sporran. I see (and with your description) the way you did you flap. I would agree that is how I would do it. Fine job on a pretty pelt.
