    Highland bling… For those that like this sort of stuff.

    I started playing around with the idea of building a Scottish style powder horn a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to find a horn that was a beautiful colour and someone had started some carving on one end and then gave up. I rather liked the shape and went ahead and bought it for a very good price. (under $30.00)I then started pulling together odds and ends to create the look I was going after.
    Years designing costumes and props for theatre teaches one that everything and anything can have another purpose.
    After a little experimentation, a few old sporran bells, and some broken jewellery, this is what I came up with.


    Had so much fun doing the first one I started on the second one right away.


    It has a flattened horn style and was a little easier to embellish because of it’s shape.
    All in all, a rather nice couple of prop pieces for highland portrait painting.
