Hand sculpted fine silver pendant with a laboratory created ruby, woven cord, sterling silver chain & clasp. This is one of the latest fine silver pendants that I've made. I have also made quite a few bronze pendants for several shows this fall. They are selling well & I hope to get some photos of them on the site soon.

                This is my most recent painting in my Soul Series. I just got home from jurying at Dayesford Abbey for their Art Fundraising Show next March. This piece is one of the paintings that I took with me.The Abbey is in Paoli & is situated on a lovely piece of land which is partially wooded. Wish me luck! The rest of today will be devoted to producing lots of jewelry. I've been working everyday on making new Fine Silver pieces & new Bronze pieces, getting ready for upcoming shows. Check out my Events page on the website! Have a Happy Day, Karen

  Although spring officially began March 21st, I now feel it has really arrived. I have been to the nursery twice already looking at plants. I can't wait to get some flowers for my window boxes. I hope this new year has been good to you so far. It has been rough for one of the Art Plus Gallery Members, Jody Rex. She has been diagnosed with a brain tumor and is receiving treatment. She has many friends who are giving her much needed moral and financial support. The gallery is having a fundraiser selling prints of one of Jody's paintings with all the proceeds going to Jody. These prints will be available at the gallery after May 1, 2008. They also will be selling inspirational bracelets. If you would like to help please drop by the gallery or call; Art Plus Gallery, 604 Penn Ave., West Reading, Pa., 610-375-9122.
