In Their Words…
“My wedding wouldn’t have been what it was if it wasn’t for Karina’s beautiful work! She made my table seating chart on a glass frame and it added the perfect touch to the decor. She was very professional, super responsive, and very understanding. She knew exactly what my envision was and she made it come to life. I definitely will be coming back for her fantastic artwork for future events. She is outstandingly talented! Definitely recommend getting your things done by her!”

“I've worked with Pennedby K on two custom projects! First was a personalized memento wooden box and the second was a beautiful wooden wall hanging. Both turned out better than I hoped!! Karina worked with me on specifics for each and that personalized touch made all the difference. Thank you so much and can't wait to work with you on future projects!!”

“Pennedby K created my welcome sign and mask monogram for my wedding in August and did an amazing job! The sign was beautiful and very well- made with attention to detail. I also received a ton of compliments on the masks. Karina was easy to communicate with and was very kind when listened to my vision for both items. Would highly recommend!!”
