There are many different processes to the first stages of sculpting.

smoothed, cut and filed down for sharp edges. The metal is hand
formed in wooden molds.

Hand painting
All of Karen's sculptures are hand-painted. When the painting is
complete details such as eyes and finger nail polish are added.
The sculptures are then adorned with unique charms to add character
and personality to the unique sculptures. |

Finishing
touches
Finally, these one-of-a-kind sculptures are inspected and prepared
for presentation before being sold. After all of the finishing
touches have been put on Karen will sign the piece. The last bits
of finishing touches may include Karen's signature beads, charms,
and sparkles.
