Thanks guys , I thought it was about time to share just as you all do and thanks to all for kicking me up the rear end and actually make the pictures happen.
Blu ,I think it maybe a semi dress sporran with deer hide (fur on)As I'm a re-enactor with the vikings I find making things very rewarding(not just money).
The three sporrans were all made by hand and hand sewn (electric drill to make the holes though), what is interesting is what people like.
My favourite one is the second and is inspired by sporran I saw on Hamish gallery(thanks Ham).It was meant to be a scottish thistle design but the detail didn't quite reach my expectations.It's the one I wear though!
I did find that the more leather I worked the better I got at it.If I was to take this up professionally a quicker way to make the holes would need to be found.
Glad you liked them best wishes.
DreadBelly sorry not sure what to do about that.
