DIY semi-mask sporran

[turpin]

Heya Turpin a job well done there! How did you attain the pelt? I enjoyed the process as I made a sporran a while ago (http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=17283) and will eventually make one up in a pelt of sorts. Can the tail be cut and spread to do the sides or another project?
As for formal use I'd say it'd be fairly contemporary but you'd get away with it. :rolleyes:
Do you have an event in mind?
Erin.

I bought this pelt at a local leather and fur trading store, but found an online source at better prices. Like about $20 usd. The tail doesn't realy lend itself to splitting and using as side pieces, and the pelt is a bit small to give extra pieces where the grain of the fur runs right. A larger animal would give you enough though.

I don't have a specific formal event in mind but I did acquire a second- (or third) hand PC and a thrift store wing collar so I'm all ready except for the bowtie. A mask sporran can be used for day or evening (as long as they don't look too close. If I do this again Ill probably try to include eyes, per Cavscout's comment above

Turpin,
Thanks for the post and the pics. This thread is now marked for the next time my dog plays a little too hard with a woodchuck. You're an inspiration.

Turpin you inspire me. I have several Badger plets and some Deer lying around maybe I do a private project.

And apparently not just to me. I know Freelander sporrans are big, but a DEER mask sporran?

Maybe the Texans on the forum ought to see if we can make a special deal for Longhorn steer mask sporrans!

Hey, there's always armadillo. And don't forget to check out all fresh road kill for possibilities

Not to threadjack, but I shared with the bride today that I wanted to do this and mentioned this thread. It amazes me how utterly freaked out she is over a masked sporran!

The sporran looks great! I plan on helping my son make himself one soon. I will be looking back to the pics you posted as a bit of a reference.
