Jewelry and Charms by Karen

I'm going to be making a bracelet to be auctioned by Luv A Chin Rescue Foundation. Each year they have a fund-raising event to raise funds for helping foster Chins and for healthcare of elderly Chins in Forever Care and many other expenses. My baby Fiona came from Luv A Chin and I am proud to be donating this bracelet in her honor. It will look something like this, but will have a Japanese Chin Charm attached instead of a paw.

My great-grandson has been celebrating his birthday with this dragon for the last 6 years. We are excited that he is getting a makeover!! 😁

The Hollywood Park dragon statue will be closed to pedestrian traffic as it gets a makeover. Parks and Trails’ maintenance crew will be removing the current paint, and Alice Guffy Miller, the dragon statue’s original artist, will be refurbishing it into a new and brighter dragon.

This is so very true! Yes, you can buy jewelry from cheaper places, but do you still have it and love it 10 years later? I have pieces of jewelry that I made when I was in High School that I still love and wear. Pay a little more for something beautiful that is personalized and unique for you 💜

Hi followers and friends! I had a little setback. Since I broke my ankle May 23th, after 6 weeks in a boot and brace, I went to physical therapy for 6 weeks. Let me warn you!! If you ever have to wear a walking boot for any reason, it can throw your hip out because one foot is higher off the ground than the other. I've been made aware, too late, that there is a mesh sock to wear on your other leg to compensate for the height difference. Too bad I didn't know that. Xray's of my hip have shown bone spurs. So it has been painful sitting for long periods of time, but I am working toward a solution and hope to be back in business soon! I am still available for small custom jobs that I can work on a couple of hours at a time.

Good Morning! Making progress on the studio. Slowly but surely getting the room cleaned out and things sorted. I didn't realize I had accumulated so many supplies and tools. I even have tools that have never been used because I have no room to set them up. 🙁

I have big plans for my new studio. I have equipment that I've purchased and have never had room to setup and use properly. I have a large extra space in my house full of junk that will take a while to empty, but I am available for a few projects at this time. Please message me or send me an email at [email protected] if you need to bring an idea to fruition.

Good Morning!! It's been a while since I've posted. Big changes are coming soon. I will be adding my very creative daughter Kelly as an apprentice to learn all my skills, merge hers and hopefully one day expand and she will take over. I'm not getting any younger.
We will keep you posted on our progress!
