Marty Stevens-Heebner's work has been featured on HGTV, the DIY network and at arts festivals throughout Southern California. Her Los Angeles-based company, Half the Sky, not only features Marty's jewelry and decoupage designs, but also offers in-home crafting parties where Marty helps creative doubters unleash the artist inside. Her designs often include things she's found on her travels-she's set foot on every continent-including Kazuli beads from Kenya and carved amber pendants from Chiapas, Mexico, where she's done humanitarian work. Christine Calla began making jewelry after her husband was in a near-fatal accident and she was desperate for a way to calm her nerves. After thoroughly cannibalizing her '80s jewelry and giving her creations away as gifts, requests and orders began pouring in from family and friends. Christine has a bold eye for design and a true knack for finding unique pendants and stones that make her work a must-have for any jewelry collection.
