I love the look of full mask sporrans but I don't like the idea of killing a fuzzy critter to put its head on a bag. I'm not a vegan or even vegetarian but I'm also not a huge fan of real fur stuff, either. I do have/wear leather, as that tends to be a byproduct of the meat industry in the U.S. (I have a funny story from when I worked in a slaughterhouse and noticed the hides being loaded into bins and thought to myself "Oh! Those cows are already empty!").

At any rate, I know there are artists who can make things like this and I was thinking that it might be possible to use the same techniques to create a mask sporran from artificial fur and craft components. If done with skill, I think it could look grand.

That said, making a GOOD mask sporran is relatively difficult even when working with traditional materials, so would introducing non-animal inputs increase the likelihood of ending up with something ugly?
