Karen recently contacted me to be listed among our registry of available services/goods in the neighborhood available for Brooklyn Torch.

Since I have been doing this photo project, I asked if she wouldn’t mind if I came by to take a photo and meet her in person. She lives in the ever lovely Graham area of Williamsburg and she makes very lovely bracelets. Check out the one she made me!

She ingeniously combines industrial materials-  the letters are from a company that manufactures them for labeling cables. Cool, no? Check out her listing in our register and give her a shout if you want to grab one or two!

Like many of us, she’s more than just a maker. Karen has also worked with the City Reliquary (an amazing small museum that you MUST visit often) on a showing of the history of shop signs along Metropolitan Avenue. She was a joy to visit, and I hope that you get to meet her one day as a neighbor, merchant, or friend soon.
