Raccoon Ears

Submitted by David on 6/8/06 at 5:12 PM. ( davesworld55@hotmail.com ) 68.183.90.196

I am making a full mask sporran from a raccoon pelt. (A sporran is the pouch that hangs in front of a Scottish kilt (google "full mask sporran" for an example.).

I am attempting to make my first animal sporran. The head can be laid flat or maintained with a form. I have purchased a set of teeth with tongue for the raccoon and glass eyes, but I have no idea how to install the form or the teeth. I plan on either dremeling a form for the head from balsa or using form. In either case, I would love any advice with respect to the ear, the form and installing the jaw set.

Thanks! David
