Nice work.  
I think Dogfisher was looking for some pointers on how you made the leather bowl.

Looks great. I really like that top bag. So how do you merge the bowls into 1?

Look at the picture posted above. The one with the leather pulled over the wooden stump. That is the first step. Only you have to pull and work the leather down more than he has shown there. Other words about twice as many tack as he shows there. A lot of pulling and working out the wrinkles and water. You will not eliminate all of them. Let it dry for about 24 hours. Now repeat the process with second layer of leather. Flesh to flesh lots of glue. It’s a lot of work to get it worked down. Let it dry for 30-36 hours. Cut and remove. That in its self is a lot of work. Probably close to 200 tacks to remove. Lot of poked holes in the fingers. Finish the top edge as you normally would a piece of leather. 
Also I always dye to color first. No real apparent reason just the way I do it. 
It took me a while to get everything figured out.

One more thing I forgot to mention. When you finally take it off the form. It is still damp inside the leather. It will feel pliable. Other word set aside for  a couple of days and it will finish curing out and get a lot more firmer.
