Karen Did Two Key Projects!




Karen never fails to amaze us in what she comes up with. She did two key projects! Her first is a book that she has been making over a period of time. She used her keys to finish the cover and added keys to the binding. It is a wonderful book and has many wonderful memories inside. She is just a natural at mixed media art.

Her second project was placed on a piece of recyled wood found in the barn. She added a crow, real crow feathers, a heart, and of course, 4 keys. It also has a very old square nail on the bottom that holds the keys. She told us it would go on wall. As with everything she makes, it is so neat! Karen can take just about anything and turn it into something wonderful.

  1. Karen, these two projects are just great! I really like how you added the keys to your favorite book. Clever! And your book is so sweet! And even though I had to wash my hands after handling your birdhouse floor :0) I really like how you thought to use it in such a neat way. Crow and feathers = really neat wall art! Also clever is the square nail with added keys.

  2. Karen, wonderful work I love how you can take anything and make a piece of art out of it. You are so clever to see the beauty in those bits of rust and dust;=)and make them into something new. I also love how you always slip a crow or feather into your work. Nice.
