    Um, WOW! Not much more can be said.

    Now, if you could pair a Rennie MacIntosh (or even Mucha) inspired cantle to a similar inspired Hunter sporran, and make it open...Well, I think you would have a new customer.

    Brilliant Scott. What you see from Artificer on this occasion, is a great illustration of the difference between true bespoke goods and those that are custom/made to measure. A true Artificer.

    Thanks lads, I'm thrilled it has received such a warm reception- it's certainly not 'standard issue', but it was a really special piece for me to make, and I guess that's sort of the point. Bespoke means getting exactly what you want,
    even if it lies outside the norm.

    Hinged brass cantle or a modern 'hard body' hunter with a decorative metal cantle? Either can be done. I think Mackintosh's work probably lends itself better to a cantle, but Mucha could be done if we used a cloisonne' sort of process.

    Thanks Mike! I was hoping to do just that. It was a balance between giving too much info or over-editing for the sake of brevity. I'm glad I seem to have hit the sweet spot in my narrating. Thanks also for the kind words.

    The "touch of green" on the cantle and tassels is the kind of detailing that makes your work really stand out (as far as I'm concerned). Absolutely breath-taking!

    Scott, Very unique in materials and design and a 10 out of 10 in execution!!! We all know that there is no standard sporran. Historical paintings prove this to be true and to bring an eye for design into the mix can really produce a true one of a kind sporran. You hit a grand slam with this one. I look forward to see what is next.

    That is Just a wonderful sporran. I think you could have a future with this whole custom sporran thing
