Sporran #2 WIP

[artificer]

Howdy All,
Now that Sporran #1 is winging its way toward our own highland mafia I thought I'd start #2.

I promised myself that I'd actually stop to shoot a few WIP pix this time

Here are the primary parts. The backing has been dyed and glued to the facings already and the gusset is ready to be sewn on.


Here's a detail shot of the front panel.

You'll note my secret tool, the spring clamp! I LOVE these things! They can hold two sections together for stitching without 'drift', clamp glue-ups, or just keep odd bits tidy and out of the way until needed.

Below is a shot of the actual colours (or as close as I could get). Shot after the gusset was attached to the front panel.

As you can see, the colour of the faces is a VERY odd green. It's almost the colour of an alligator or a turtle shell. Very dark, greenish with an olive tint.

It's a small sample I had (from my prior career) that I thought would be very nice mated to a nice soft black gusset. That way it looks okay to have a black belt and sporran strap, and will probably match your tac-boots (if you're wearing camo, or a MUG).

Here's a shot of the side after the gusset was glued to the back. It's now just waiting to dry and then the lacing around the laminated edges will begin.


Lastly, a 1/4 front view as it sits right now waiting for the glue to dry.
With a bit of luck I'll have this one laced and finished tomorrow.


As always, constructive comments are welcome and invited.

Thanks for looking!
