    Good job, turpin! Skunk sporrans are quite distinctive and attract more comments than any other sporran, fur or otherwise.

    Eyes - I've seen some mask sporrans, even old British military ones, where the glass eyes are light colored and have round pupils. They appear bug-eyed and very distracting. Look through any taxidermy reference (like Van Dyke's) and you'll find skunks and badgers have shiny, black eyes; foxes have vertical pupils; etc. A pair of glass eyes is not very expensive, and they add a whole new dimension to the finished product.

    Keep up the good work - and have lots of fun doing it.
