animal pelt sporrans

**Magnus Sporrano** · 18th February 05, 08:15 AM

I don't know the full story on this yet but Rocky was wearing the coolest sporran last night. It was made from a badger pelt, top to bottom. The flap was the ol' badgers face.

Kelly said something about having a few for selling at the festival this weekend but I either didn't ask much more or don't remember due to all of the carbombs.

So the candy man has struck again. Now I'm coveting the animal pelt sporrans. The badger is really cool but I got something else in mind. 8)

Face sporrans are readily available on the net made from various critters, from badgers, to fox to skunks. They do tend to be a bit pricey.

www.sporrans.com has some really interesting full face sporrans. I personnaly like the raccoon, as he looks like he is happy to be a sporran.

If I felt like I could afford and pull off a full face mask sporran, I would easily go for the Canadian Lynx

I've had some customer service issues with Craigie. I don't think she was being very honest with me about shipping schedules, and in fact I think she forgot about me. She told me something had already been shipped to me but the postmark on the package showed that she didn't ship it until after my call. That sort of dishonesty doesn't sit well with me. I'm very reluctant to buy anything from her again.

You got another wee beast in mind eh?
Myself, I want a Dachsund headed sporran.

Weiner dog! Ha! A man after my own heart.

I was just saying to one of the boys today that I'd take one if it came in collie.

But since it's probably illegal, I'd settle for skunk.

Someone I know who will remain nameless (but he did start a big forum for people to talk about kilts) bought a hideously ugly aligator head purse on ebay. He wants to have it turned into a sporan. I think it is ugly but he showed it to some people at the celtic festival and they seemed to think it would be cool. I don't know if they were just trying not to hurt his feelings though...
A friend of ours bought a BEAUTIFUL animal head sporan from Rocky. He bought a black fox sporan and it was one of the most beautiful animal head sporans I have seen.
I hope that sporan is spelled "sporan" and not "sporran". Otherwise I have misspelled it through this whole post.

Deetz, my mother had a purse like that and I intend to see if she still has it. If so, I'm going to try to talk her out of it. Gator sporran appeals to me.

They are rather pricey. Do you think I could get a discount if I sent them a live possum to replace the one I want to wear? I have one in my barn that keeps eating my chicken feed that would be perfect for hanging on a leather strap.

You could just buy the pelts and make your own sporran. I'm considering doing just that. Get a head on pelt, put in the taxidernist glas eyes, and sew it up.
