 A couple of my new galleries are taken with the more natural wood tone colors and the woven and free form designs.  Here is a sampling of some of the new ones I created for them.

I have even more ideas for the woven ones.  Back to the studio to see what magic awaits.

The new color stains are delightful.  The beauty of the leather shines through as I am learning to apply several pale washes of different colors.

My customers seem to like them as well.  I am working on some new ideas using the colors and shredded leather.  I am loving the infinite possibilities of color.

The discovery of colored stains opened a whole new world of play with my hand sculpted leather blessing bowls.  Here are some of my first attempts.

The trick with the color is that no two pieces turn out the same.  The color of the leather hide changes the color of the stain.  So, matching colors will not be possible.

As with all my pieces each one is truly one of a kind.
