Yet more terrible taxidermy

They look like they're both made from the same roadkill.

Oh dear! I suppose you could punch a couple of holes in the bag they came in and put it over your head so nobody would know who bought these unfortunate creatures!

So many of the foxes end up looking more like puppets, but this one is plenty spooky , too.

Anyone get the number of that bus? They all look like they're in amazement they ended up as a kilt accessory.

Exactamundo, I say!

Not that I haven't been guilty of doing that myself! Years ago I joined a band which wore white rabbit-fur Evening sporrans. The sporran I ended up with wasn't rabbit but scraggly threadbare pony, so I bought a nice full fluffy rabbit pelt and cut and sewed it on myself right over the existing (nearly bald) fur. It was a fairly neat job and whoever has that sporran now might think the rabbit fur was original. (I made three matching tassels too.)

Hey I found a photo of me wearing it (post-modification)

Oh my goodness! Maybe if your nice and specify what your looking for exactaly they might be as good as Bonsai Pottery was to me in my custom boar sporran. See pic.....but keep in mind....I root for the underdog a lot, and was feeling nothing ventured nothing gained....I think that many folks don't fully understand what the sporran truly is to some of us and what we expect from them and how to properly make them....Anyhow....here is my Boar sporran....I hope the pic isn't too fuzzy.

Poor cat looks equally surprised at how he ended up! Actually criminal to see an animal dying for that! Some one should make a full mask of whomever created that.

Full face sporrans are not to my taste, but in all fairness, Kate Macpherson makes her sporrans from road kill, not animals specifically killed for this art.
