    Award for most bizarre "fur" sporran!!!!

    WARNING: No pics YET!

    I found the solution for a back project.

    I have always wanted a skunk sporran, as is fairly well known (and what go me to FINALLY join and stop lurkying).
    Knowing the reactions, I ALSO wanted one made put of an appropriate stuffed animal (kids toy style). I've had ideas, even buying a "sporran proportioned" toy skunk (which my daughter adopted and we have named "Shortbread," to go with the furry beannie baby-esque one "Scotch"). I suggested making Shortbread into a sporran, and she went BALISTIC .

    Idea almost dead. :crap:

    At Goodwill today, I found a backpack that has a stuffed animal bag in just the right size :mrgreen: :biggrin: . And GUESS what it was, a SHEEP !!!!

    So, tonight, I am removing the straps, sewing a white vinal backing onto it, and adding belt loops and d-rings to the back.

    POW!!!!

    Sheep "fur" sporran with head and even FEET!!!

    I'm excited, and will wear it to an appropriate games and/or post pics as soon as I get a site set up to link them to for this forum. (I Know, it sounds stupid, but wait till you see it.)
