I like this horn- simple designs with lots of tiny lines.

Wow, that must have taken two hours instead of the usual amount of time! 😶

Well, not sure what that means. Anyway, these generally take about 40 to 50+ hours to complete.

Note that these horns of mine are not copies of any particular powder horns from our American past, but rather are contemporary art works. I hope the decorative elements and designs reflect an ageless, home-spun Folk-Art spirit that is engaging to the heart and eye, and hopefully capture the feel and spirit of some old originals.
