New donnie wyvern creation: Sea bass sporran

[Jmc0369]

Here is a sporran that I commissioned Donnie to make for me. I gave him the sea bass leather and the tooth and vague constraints. The rest is all him and he did a wonderful job. He mentioned he had never worked with the materiel before and was not sure how suitable it would be but indeed was pleasantly surprised. I as happy as could be with it.

Very nice. I wonder what other fish might be appropriate for a sporran.

Love it Jmc, very nice!

I always though eel or stingray would look great, the texture and the way light refracts off stingray skin is cool.

Possibly a Shark would be appropriate.....

JMC, very nice indeed. Post a photo of it worn with your Kilt, I'd love to see how it looks when you are sporting it.....

Just me, or would that look awesome with the R'Lyeh Sett?

[Jmc0369]

Uhoh, the cats out of the bag. It was commissioned to that end. As is a all black seabass version not yet finalized.

That's a beauty and so distinctive. Another excellent sporran from Donnie. We are so lucky on this forum to have not one but two in Donnie and Scott of the best sporran makers in the world as members of this forum.

I should add what a pleasure he is to work with.

That looks so cool! I like what he did with the top leather. Looks hammered.
Is the sea bass dyed and if so, what color was it originally?

[Jmc0369]

Seabass, carp, and salmon are available sueded or glazed and in many colors. I ordered sueded black and delivered it straight to Donnie. I am dreaming up another in glazed black (the whole sporran in black). I about 20+ years ago had a pair of Tony Llama boots in brown sueded sea bass. They were beautiful.
