Whether hanging on a wall, resting on a tabletop, or nestled in a quiet garden spot, Buddha statues lend a sense of calm serenity.  So I've pulled together this small collection of handmade Buddhas.  They are diverse in size, style, and position.  The smallest is four inches high, and the larges stands 20 inches.  Four of them are handcarved wood and two are hand cast stone.  All of them are lovely.   You can click an image for details, or click here to see the whole collection.

Kara Young creates stunning wall art built on a foundation of heavy handmade paper. Young's skillful and highly creative integration of paint, copper leafing, and found objects gives her works a sculptural quality with surface patinas that seem to bear the natural wear of age.
