I got started on two new sporrans this weekend. The one on the left below is a Masonic symbol for a friend. The one on the right is a rampant lion with a few simplifications from my first practice piece.
Thanks to everyone for the kind words on my previous Welsh Dragon sporran. Some of you make kilts, some kilt pins. I enjoy the leather working. For those who inquired about sales, I'm a long way from that stage, but I retire in about 4 more years. I plan on settling in southwest Michigan. There seems to be a lot of highland games and festivals in that upper mid-west region. I'm looking forward to traveling around to as many as I can.
I also have to be careful in Germany. The US-German Status of Forces Agreement limits what I can sell without getting a license and paying taxes. Don't think I want to get into that yet. One of the quirks of working over here.
I should be finished in a week or two and will post final pics then. I'm thinking about making a Hay clan crest (it has an eagle, should be challenging) and then maybe a thistle symbol. That should keep me busy until Christmas!
It's great seeing all your pics and the different ways people put them together. Thanks for sharing.
Tom
