Ken just finished these new antler gift line photos of my hand sculpted leather blessing bowls. The antler gift line retails for under $100 and now includes the new luxurious colors and most recent styles using antlers and beads.

The new color stains are spectacular.  I love the way they penetrate more fully allowing the natural grain of the leather to shine through.  The colors are luxuriously rich and deep in tone.  They remind me of the finest smooth Italian leather.

I am still experimenting with new colors but have chosen for now to include those shown above.  The dark oak is the large round piece in the first photo.  The other colors are best seen in the last photo of the collection of free form leather bowls.  Left to right, top row first they are: cranberry red, goldenrod, midnight teal, cherry wood, and deep plum.

The new styles include the antler with leather accent and the antler with bead accent.  This combination offers both a masculine and feminine look. 

The perfect accent to any western or cabin decor I created these as decorative items.  However, most people use them much like a basket to hold anything that is not wet.  The perfect gift for men, many are used to hold jewelry, pocket change, keys, remote controls and wrapped candies. Others use them as alter pieces to hold sacred items.

As always I include a tag stating the bowl was handmade in Montana by Penny Hall.  A scroll with my artist statement also comes with each piece.  A copy of the artist statement can be found in the column to the left of this page.

I continue to search for new outlets and welcome all wholesale inquiries.

Thank you for your continued interest in my leather work.

Blessings,
