I really like this sporran, though it does have sort of an astonished look on its face. Kind of like, "what just happened to me?!"....
So he's a cousin of Groundskeeper Willie?
Maybe I made the eyes too "cute", which accounts for the look. It is amazing how a good quality set of glass eyes can bring a mask to life and give it a personality.
I really got to practice my suturing skills on this one. I didn't want an overlap of skin edges so I butted them together and sutured, using artificial sinew with a forceps and hemostat.
Although the outside dimensions may be 10x10, that includes the head and halo of fur. The actual bag dimension is more like 7.5x8.5x2.5. Anything larger and it looks disproportionate when worn. I was actually thinking of reducing the bag size with longer-furred pelts.

That is one magnificent sporran, now I fully understand why you looking forward to it so much. Wonderful work from Turpin yet again. I look forward to meeting Frank at our next kilt night. Congratulations again.

Very nice!
I love the pictures of the cat with the sporran...she looks like she is trying to figure out if it is a relative!

I actually thought about holding it up and fedexing it for delivery on February 2.

Gopher and woodchuck are two names for the same critter!
No, they ain't.
The woodchuck is Sciuridae family, and the gopher is Geomyidae family. They're two different critters.

One very cool sporran. Gosh I didn't even know I wanted a full face sporran until now.
As was said earlier, you just never know when you'll need to add something to the wish list.
Man, that list is getting long....
