Christine Hansen: artist and writer

	Welcome! I’m Chris, and I’ve been an artist as long as I can remember. I started with drawing and painting, and have branched out to include lampwork beads, mixed media art, jewelry design, soapmaking, beadwork, cooking, writing, calligraphy, and more.

We're on Amazon!!!

Wheeeee! It's almost here!!! My writing partner Peg Krzyzewski and I are eagerly awaiting the release of our first book, Making Mixed Media Art Charms and Jewelry, which is being published by Kalmbach Books, and is scheduled for shipping on June 30, 2010. Get more details or pre-order the book at Kalmbach and on Amazon.
	This site is still very much under construction; following are links to my blog, ArtFire store, Etsy shop, and online portfolio, as well as links to my clips, and some of my favorite people and sites. Curious about Hansen's Chill Out? This link will tell you more!
Looking for info on Turbo Rufus, the accident-prone greyhound? He's doing much better - check my blog for details and the latest updates.
	If you're a flameworking glass artist, check out the Art Glass Color Database wiki. This giant project is (and probably always will be) a work-in-progress; it's intended to be a one-stop resource for information, tips, and tricks on working with specific colors.
