same old question from a Newbie - making a full face sporran

[MacLowlife]

Greetings and welcome.

DO form the head and install some eyes. You will be glad you did. I have seen articles about using Papier Mache to fill the head. If you are really clever, you might use insulation foam ( Great Stuff) but I don't know how you would.

I believe that it is advisable to detach the head, so that you can show the back fur on the front, but I may be crazy. The seam (to reattach the head ) would make a good hinge for the lid. I would make the back from smooth leather

If you haven't, try using the handy search feature to find old threads.

Good luck
MacLL.

should of started with the intro, didnt want to bore anyone

Well, as you may have guessed my name is Paul, Born in Troon, Scotland and currently live in Southampton, England.

I have been making various craft pieces for a few years, including leather, Bronze casting, wood carving, pottery and a few other things... although am still an amature at most as family commitments have taken most of my time for the last 3 years (i.e. 2 children)

I am a member of www.deeds-of-arms.org.uk, which is a stage combat group specialising in Gladiator and Medieval combat, so have had to make various bits of kit for the different eras.

Have decided to start making a few bits to go with my Kilt, starting with a sporan, then moving onto a Bronze Sgian Dubh in the Summer.

wont go on any more for now.

Paul
