Animal skull question...

[Highlander31]

I've never seen one at any of the ren faires or games. Cragie Originals is down your way. Sue has done some interesting things, you might try contacting her.
Their website is http://www.sporrans.com/

I'm not into the full mask sporrans either, but they seem to be accepted as Highland attire.

A Jackalope full mask sporran!

Good idea.

Oh boy... what have I done...

[Smayniac]

I don't know about that... But a fur sporran with mouse skulls decorating the ends of the tassels would look totally badass!

I have been considering(way down the list) a full mask Coyote with Magpie head tassels, invoking the totemic power of two tricksters for native lore. As Ted says though, I think I would make the heads of foam with a resin covering for strength. I have no copyright or trademark on the idea, feel free to steal it.

Oh, jeez no. People already think I'm off my rocker -- if I start attaching remains of dead animals and skulls and whatnot to my clothing, a well-meaning friend or relative will have me hauled away... And it's tough to get online while confined to a straight jacket and medicated. You gotta type with your nose and drool gets in between the keyboard keys...

[Bugbear]

Yep...

Actually you can type with your toes. That way no drool gets into the keyboard.

For the full mask sporran, avoid the endangered species, such as the brindled haggis of Mull, or the wild nauga of Wisconsin.

Cragie does a wonderful job with their taxidermy. I have a full mask badger - closed mouth - with horsehair tassels. I think it looks great. The head actually looks like a head instead of a shrunken pouch with holes, as some sporrans do.

I have one from Craigies, too. It's a great conversation piece.

[English Bloke]

Can't say I'm bowled over by this idea, not too comfortable with full mask sporrans either... all seems rather goulish to me.

By the way, What's going on with this full-face hat?? Now that's just strange!
