    third sporran--dress

    Thought I would share the results of my long search for materials, etc., to make a dress sporran for myself.

    The body is goat. The cantle is leather. The balls are sterling silver.

    VERY nice!. I'm always interested in alternative approaches to standard sporran construction, and the leather cantle is one of them. Want to share a sideways shot with us? Is that an elk or caribou hide? Where did you source your balls?
