Sheep/shop cleanout

[kevinkinney]

Hello all,

Spring is coming, and I'm cleaning out stuff again. I found a forgotten bin deep under the cutting table. It was full of weird stuff.

These are the remainder of a run of chalk bags we made for climbers. I cut them from sheepskin, then added recycled fleece legs and a body, then leather eyes, ears, and a nose. I cut matching liners from laminated fleece, and set a grommet behind the ears for a draw cord that closes the inner bag with a cinch.

I finished 1/2 of them with a stiffened piece of webbing at the lip, but there are 34 of them left unassembled.



I'm at a complete loss for further ideas, nor do I have time to tinker with them. Any bright ideas out there? Wanna barter for something fun? I've saved one for a new sporran. They're about the perfect size, though the orientation of the mouth is straight up, not facing down like a full animal mask. Warning!- this is thick sheepskin. There will be fluff involved.

Cheers,

Kevin.
