    and now, the moment you've all been waiting for...



    Here I am, in my Newsome modern Lockhart tank, in a kilt shirt (which I don't particularly like), my Wal-Mart walking shoes, and just for you, Jock, cream-colored hose.
    I've been slow to post pics because I have a painfully slow connection at home and I can't do stuff like this at work.
    This was shot Saturday in my back yard.

    Here's a close-up of my 'coon skin sporran.

    More to follow!

    I think the links need a .JPG or other graphics extension in order to show up using the IMG tag....

    But you can still see the pix if you go here:

    Thanks, McMurdo, for trying to fix the problem. My pics have .jpg extensions, so I must be doing something else wrong. Imagine that. Any advice?

    Nice kilt. How does the sporran flap secure?

    Standard,
    Yes, I made the sporran. The fur is from the back of the animal. The kilt side of the sporran is a piece of suede I bought at a crafts store.
    Highlander31,
    The tail is sewn onto the flap, and the weight of it keeps the flap closed.

    I apologize for not posting the pics correctly, but I appreciate you taking the time to open the links.

    the tail

    I sure do like the way that you were able to incorporate the tail into your sporran design. Now I need to find a way to get that armadillo tail of mine to cooperate! Come to think of it......I just got a great idea!
