A New Patten Soft Construction Hunting Sporran

[artificer]

That is an absolutely stunning piece of work! The entire set is. It is incredibly cohesive. I love the stud and tassel pattern. You outdid yourself, once again. Congratulations!

Thank you! I'm hoping to do "Lantern" or "Ball" (I'm not sure that the pattern has an actual name, at least I can't find one) style tassel on another one of these in the not too distant future. From the X-Marks thread HERE.
Pic is just for the tassel pattern, as it's the only one I can find.

Yet another very fine sporran.

Thank you, Sir!

Good one Scott, I was waiting to see if the soft bodies were going to catch on, since you made the first one. I think that they are far superior to the hard body versions. As usual a subperb design and crafting job mate.

They are catching on. Part of the lag is that my queue extends out far enough that when a picture of a completed work "goes live" there may be a 4-5 month delay before the results of a "new" product being requested by others are actually seen.
I have several in the queue, including a similarly styled bag attached to a madly detailed brass cantle (which I'm positively giddy about).

BTW. I don't know if any other members have noticed, but Artificer's products and ideas on sporran making are now being copied by fellow sporran makers (no names, no pack drill). So if you order a sporran from the man himself, you know that you are getting it from the leader of the pack.

As you say "No Names, No Pack Drill" = The less said the better. The situation is what it is, with antique patterns there is no chance of protection. Any other issues aren't currently worth any legal costs they may incur.
