KAWDAW Jewelry and Gifts is a product of me (Karen Walsh) deciding I needed an indoor hobby since gardening is seasonal in the Midwest. After ruling out cake decorating, crocheting, and making my own sausage, I elected for jewelry making (glad I did!).  Over 5 years, using several resources (and lots of patience), I have learned different styles, techniques, and mediums. This hobby has allowed me to showcase new skills and my creativeness.  Making jewelry has kept me sane in my divorce and being a single parent.  I thoroughly enjoy this creative outlet and am happy to share my work with you!
