In addition to writing articles on tool tips and keum-boo, Christine’s jewelry is featured in many books, including The Art and Craft of Making Jewelry, 1000 Rings, 500 Necklaces, 500 Earrings, and Chain Mail Jewelry.

Two interviews for the price of one, how fun! Thanks for the inspiration and information. I especially loved Christine’s information about a green studio.
Awesome shows lately! (Not that they’re not always awesome, but I’ve especially liked the past few!) Thank you for making such an informative and well-produced podcast!
I love hearing about green crafting and recycling items into artwork. I’m currently experimenting with my own little recycled projects.
I was also VERY excited to hear Seth Savarick talking about Synergy 2 as I am attending! Wow. This is going to be an awesome conference! I’m hoping to meet you, Alison and tell you in person how much I enjoy your podcasts:)
Very inspiring as usual.
Great show! Listening to you and Seth made me wish I worked with polymer clay! And Christine was a great guest!
My only complaint is your shows go way too fast. I know it’s selfish, but I’d like you to be on more often and longer!
