That project brought us together and we are so excited to work together on more projects. **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you Amy & Lauren! > Wonderful collaborations are in our future! > Looking forward to putting my talents to work for you and your discerning clients! **★★★★★ — Laura Virili, May 2017** > I engaged distinctive stone art for my bathroom & kitchen remodels. Janis Blayne-Paul's vision, creativity, attention to detail and passion is nothing like I have ever seen before. If you are looking for truly unique, one-of-a-kind stone solutions for your kitchen, bath and/or outdoors you will not be disappointed with what Janis has to offer you. Her stones are truly a work of art! **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you, Laura. I greatly appreciate your design sensibilities and the oportunity to work with you! Looking forward to putting my talents to work for you at the villa in Florida. > Best Reagrds! **★★★★★ — Colleen Miller, April 2017** > Janis designed and carved the beautiful butterfly memorial garden to honor a dear member of our church community. She spent time on site developing and refining the design to integrate it with the garden design. She carved and stained the stones. The overall outcome is awesome!!! **Comment from karmic stone:** > I am honored to have been part of this wonderful project. > Thank you for including "distinctive stone art" and for your kind words! **★★★★★ — Elser Landaverde, March 2017** > Janis is AMZING! She designed a VERY special piece of art on stone for me and delivered it in just 3 days...from the East Coast to California. She took the time to listen, design and even did a few changes on such short notice. It was imperative that it be perfect, and it was beyond perfect! I felt the love and care and everyone who sees it just weeps in tears because it's just that stunning. Janis, thank you from the bottom of my heart...you are a true light and gift to those you serve with your talent. **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you. I am grateful for the opportunity to have created this meaningful carving. > Your words are deeply touching and most appreciated. **★★★★★ — Marty Crowley, March 2017** > I can't say enough positive about this company. Janis worked patiently with me to come up with a design for the centerpiece over the range in our new kitchen. Her drawings were outstanding. When we agreed upon a design, she completed the project on time and on budget. When the piece arrived at our house, the package was damaged in shipping and the piece was broken in half, but we could tell it was perfect for what we wanted. We were heartbroken. Janis did not hesitate to get to work on a new piece, and she carved a new piece and had it out to us in only a few days. This is the focal point of our new kitchen, and we LOVE it!! We now have a stone that is an original piece of art, and it fits perfectly with the design and motif of the room. Outstanding artist with the highest integrity. If I could give Distinctive Stone Art 6 stars, I would! **Comment from karmic stone:** > THANK YOU. If I could give clients stars, I would give you six as well. > It was a pleasure working with you. **★★★★★ — Kat Landis, March 2017** > This former architect turned art carver/sculptor did a remarkable job turning boulders into beautiful, tasteful works of memorial art in Doylestown Cemetery that have become the focal point of our memorial gardens. She showed up to work on site every day until finished. A wonderful job by a dedicated professional. **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you for the kind words! > It was truly a pleasure working with you and I so appreciate the opportunity to create these wonderful memorial garden carvings. **★★★★★ — vijjigorti, July 2016** > Janis has done an amazing job with backsplash and slate carving for my front yard. She worked with me very patiently and finally gave me what I needed. Highly recommended . **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you for choosing my stone art for both your kitchen and landscape! It was a pleasure working with you and I appreciate the kind words! **★★★★★ — crowleyhome76, July 2016** > My wife and I ordered a backsplash stone for behind our range. When we reached out to Karmic Stone, we weren't exactly sure what we wanted. Janis talked with us both and came up with a sketch that was fantastic. She then went to work on a 12 x 24 piece marble. The finished product was stunning! I am not kidding when I say that it brought a tear to my eye when I saw it. > Slight twist, when we received the stone, it had been damaged in shipping. Janis took that as a challenge, and she made another stone that was more beautiful than the first. > Karmic Stone had the best customer service, and the most beautiful artwork I could have ever hoped for. I cannot recommend a company with any more confidence - in a word, "Outstanding". **Comment from karmic stone:** > Thank you so much for the kind words! > It was a pleasure creating this special carving for you! (Twice!!) > Thank you for the opportunity to do so! I am so happy to see it installed in its new home. May it always brighten your home and your spirits. **★★★★★ — patrice326, Aug. 2015** > With confidence and pride, I've given kamic stone gifts to my closest family and friends.

A: Thanks for your inquiry! This is Janis from distinctive stone art- I am the stone artisan and I created the design and hand carved it in a piece of marble to match the client's flooring. I did numerous sketches for the clients to choose from incorporating the claddagh. I am attaching a similar design with the fleur de lis. While I have many signature designs you can choose from, I am happy to create a custom design just for you. Custom work is my forte and I can work within your budget. Please let me know if you have any other questions! Apologies for delayed reply-we had a bad storm in the northeast and lost power for over a week. Just back on line today. best regards, Janis **Q: No Question** *(in Photo Questions)* This is one of the most amazing installs I have ever seen, great work !!! A: LOVE this project! A Designer Show House is a great opportunity to really be creative! I have done several and have always enjoyed being a part of the total transformations that occur.
