You can tell she spends hours getting every element\u00a0just right, and I can only imagine how many hours she puts into developing her process in which she can achieve such perfection. The pieces here are examples for classes or are show pieces for the Fimo exhibition at Eurosynergy and not for sale, but I did get to try on and model a few for the gang and I was just in love with how they both looked and felt on. They are some truly masterful pieces of art.<\/p>\n<p>Christine has not only been diligently working away on her own pieces but has continued helping others increase their creativity and exploration of design through the classes offered on <a href=\"https:\/\/voila.eu.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Viola.eu<\/a>. Take a look at the new set of courses she and Donna Greenberg are working on as well as dropping by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.allovercreation.net\/\" target=\"_blank\">Christine&#8217;s artist website<\/a>\u00a0for an eye full of her beautiful collection of work.<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\">_________________________________________<\/p>\n<p class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"likethisblog\">Like this blog?
