    Unique sporran

    Check this out... Kate Macpherson makes full-mask mallard sporrans. Pheasant, crocodile, and salmon also grace her artworks.

    Pretty impressive! I wouldn't have thought you could make a full-mask duck...

    Ok, the hare looks posessed IMHO, but the pheasant is an interesting look. I wonder how the feathers would hold up?

    Have to confess, I've never been a fan of the full mask sporrans. The idea of having a nearly-whole, recognisable animal hanging over my crotch has never appealed.

    But a whole dead duck tied around my waist? That's just weird!

    I agree with much said here. I'm a more traditional sporran Scotsman!

    Don't think I could get away with wearing these in my neighborhood. I live across the street from an elementary school. I think the PTA would show up at my house with pitchforks and torches.

    I agree about the hare, evil it is.

    But the deer one has white spot. Now, I am not a hunter, but I thought those spots implied that it was from a fawn. If it didn't have the dapple I don't think I would have thought anything of it, it looks decent.

    I don't now about a duck's head on my sporran. It's just wrong.
