It's been a year since the book I wrote with Peggy Krzyzewski, Making Mixed Media Art Charms & Jewelry, was published by Kalmbach, and THAT means it's time for a little celebration giveaway!
I'm giving away one signed (by me) copy of Making Mixed Media Art Charms & Jewelry, and three of my original limited edition mixed media art charms.

Why do I like art charms. Cause Christine Hansen made them, and she's f\/cking awesome! However, someone else should get the book and charms, I just wanted to say how glad I am to count her as one of my friends.

I love making glass beads, but I would also like to get inspired to use my previous ceramics and sculpture courses. This might just be the kick-in-the-pants that gets me going again :D
Happy anniversary!

Ilove to make small things, I find postive feelings happen when I am working with beads. I love it.

Charms and jewelry are a great way to combine a variety of media into a single unified piece, while still preserving the integrity and beauty of each component. When the time is taken to ensure that each piece collectively adds strength to the overall theme the results can be amazing.
Christine your charms are gorgeous, keep up the amazing work!
WOuld love to win!
...and I liked your FB page :-)
I love the small size of art charms and the opportunity to try many techniques. Congratulations on the first anniversary of THE BOOK! xo Lorie
They are beautiful! They are like a little slice of the artist's imagination. Each one can mean something different to each person, they feel personal.
Happy anniversary - and what is not to like about tiny and precious little charms:-)
They are a tiny piece of art and as an artist I enjoy using unique elements to use with any of the jewelry I make. Congrats on the book! If I should be a lucky winner ou can reach me at akravenlady@ yahoo dot com
Thank-you!
Good things come in small packages, and art charms are the best small things. joann

As a person who was totally new to making art charms when I joined the ArtCharms group, I've discovered a whole new creative, art direction. Each little charm tells its own story. Thanks for the chance to enter your fabulous giveaway.
I like the idea of art charms because to me a charm bracelet should be a collection of charms that mean something special to the owner. What could be more special than art charms that are hand made and one of a kind.

I love art charms for the same reason I like art beads. They are all unique and add that special something to my jewelry.

Chris, I love your charms and book. I'm not wanting to enter the drawing, because I have the book and charms. I want to say I'm glad I have YOU. You are so patient and helpful. Whoever wins will be blessed. The book is wonderful and your charms are awesome. Love you - Ceu
I am new to admiring your Jewelry and so far love your site. I like the diversity of what you offer up outside of your crafts here also. And having the opportunity to have met you, your family & fur babies (I must admit have won me over to Grey Hounds where I hadn’t a real opinion in the past, but they are awesome animals) You are awesome!! And a give away well gotta love that :)
I really like the charms because to me charms and mixed media art has a very ancient and cultural feel, back to our roots. As far as i know people have been making charms since ancient times for a variety of reasons. Artistry brings out the best in culture, providing a richness in life. For me, charms can hold special memories to be cherished for years, even generations. Your dedication to making these is awsome, and your crafstmanship superb! Charm on Girl!
I liked you on FB btw!!
