Full mask sporrans revisited...

[Nathan]

Nathan, yours is actually an exemplary model (IMO) of a nicely crafted mask. The head is mounted, but not 'realistically 3-D, complete with tongue', the head itself is also relatively small and well balanced against the overall size of the sporran. LOTS of North American animals simply have too big of heads to make elegantly proportioned masks.

Any day I get a compliment on a DIY sporran by Artificer is a damn fine day indeed.

Edit: Incidentally, the person who sold me the stoles I used to make my sporran said they were kit fox but upon looking at images on the internet, I think it's more likely a weasel of some kind, perhaps a stoat or ermine. The ears are just too small to be a fox. Any furriers want to enlighten me?
