How It All Began

Artist: Penny Hall     Item:  My First Bowl    Location:  My Private Collection

I saw a photograph of a leather bowl when searching for something to do in between eye surgeries.  I was fascinated by the fact that the leather would hold its shape.

When the doctor told me I was legally blind I did not want my mind to accept it.  I wanted to do something to prove to myself I was NOT blind.  So, this seemed like a really good project.

It turned out to be better than I ever imagined.  I had no idea at the time what a journey lay ahead of me.

This is the first bowl I created.
