WIP Sporran #3 & #4 Rob Roys

[artificer]

I'm a relatively new initiate to kilts and accessories; but IMHO, the laced edge takes it that step above the "mass produced" look. The little details are what give it that true hand made one of a kind appeal. I only wish I had the skills (and confidence) to do that kind of workmanship. And a hint of #5 yet to come has me waiting impatiently to see more of your work.

I agree, beautiful work.

Thanks, both for the kind words. I'm always a little nervous with embellishments beyond what is needed- I'm a pretty minimal guy. When laying out the design I was worried that it would have too 'artsy-crafty' a feel. I think it came out pretty well in execution though, and am glad others like it as well (and that it doesn't read 'wild west' either )

I'm nearly finished, just squaring up some details and need to get out to the shop to cut the cabochon for the lid.

The new bag... it's big. People joke about getting their head in theirs... well, I gave #3 a test early this AM and here's the result.


I AM BAGMAN!

This thing even fits over my gigantic, rectangular 7 5/8 noggin! When cinched up it's not too big, but it seems HUGE with the mouth open.

(I'm actually thinking of shrinking #4 slightly .

As to #5, I may push the Jacobite bag to #6 and go with a hunting sporran for #5... I'm torn right now. I'd like to try my hand at the leather 'petals' on the hunting bag.
