I just got the skunk skin for my masked skunk sporran. I am getting the head form and eyes tomorrow.

Now, HOW ON EARTH:confused: do I work with the leather/fur to make the head?

Do I need to dampen/wet the skin to work with it?
If so, what about the fur? Blow dry it, like Turpin did?

Any tips on working with the head and getting it over the form?

:confused: I've NEVER done ANYTHING like this before OR used anything like these materials. In the past, I only used pre-tanned leather either bought at craft/reenactment supply stores OR recyled from handbags, jackets, or the like.

HELP!!!!


Hopefully this will help any other would-be fur sporran makers out there.
