Custom Sets Available

All of Karma Grotelueschen's sterling silver jewelry styles can be custom made to adjust the size, shape, or the stone to your desires.  Earrings can be made longer, shorter, narrower, wider, bracelets and cuffs can be made to fit your wrist, rings can be sized to your finger.  Many stones are stocked in standard sizes and any of the styles can be made for you in your choice of stone.  Or a set can be made with matching or coordinating stones.


This set is made with carnelian, a translucent red orannge.  Red jasper is an opaque red orange that also coordinates well with carnelian.  Lapis lazuli, a deep bright blue and demin lapis, the same stone in a lighter bright blue, make beautiful sets.  Black onyx is available in many size stones, as well as ivory-colored river stone and tiger eye.  A beautiful green stone, aventurine, and an olive stone with pink flecks are others that are available in standard sizes and easy to keep in stock for custom order.

A Private Class

Over the holiday weekend, I taught a little private class. We made earrings that I call Tie One On. They are made by tying beads onto French ear wires with waxed linen or fine leather cord or hemp cord or embroidery floss. They are easier to make than beaded earrings with wires holding the parts together and they require no pricey tools. If you want me to do a class for you, just let me know. I prefer 6 students, but make exceptions. I will travel to meet you or we can hold the class at the gallery in Mineral Point. I can teach you how to do most anything that I make myself that I have posted here.

I have taught indoors and out, at art schools and festivals, at an historic farm museum, for park districts, for garden clubs, for one individual at a time and up to groups of 15. Let's talk about what I can teach to you or your group. Everyone always has a wonderful time!

Recycled Licence Plates

New artists to the gallery: Cathy and Pete are making signs out of recycled licence plates. I will have a few in stock at the gallery soon, but for now, you can order any saying you want for $10 a letter, including 2 blank ends for finishing and the spaces. So Born 2 Garden would be $150. It takes about 2 weeks from when you let me know what you want to when the sign arrives at your door by UPS or USPS. You can order any short quote or saying or inspirational words or you can order your kids' names for their rooms or the name of your favorite sports team or band.

I got this one for myself. I am going to order "GOOD KARMA". It's a fun environmentally friendly way to express yourself!

Checkered Animals Paintings by Sheri Lee Butler

Sheri Lee's whimsical series of animals in checkerboard patterns are delightful and fun. Choose one of these or ask her do the animal profile of your choice as a custom order. This is the fun side of Sheri's often serious work.

Wood Strip Canoes by Randy Pfeifer

These canoes are custom made of cedar wood strips bent around a form. The artist glues each strip on individually, using no staples or ties, resulting in a perfect flawless exterior. The wood is covered inside and out with fiberglass and epoxy to render it water-tight and lake- and river-worthy. Gunwale design, seat design, deck design and other details can be individualized, and a number of shapes and sizes are available. Custom inlay work can decorate the sides of the boats, and dark and light strips allow design elements to grace the hull of the canoe. These boats will turn heads, whether on the car roof-top carrier, in the water, or hanging from the ceiling of your home. They are beautiful.
