Something new in my Ko-fi store: This necklace is 20 inches long. I used transparent red, transparent topaz, and various shades of opaque red and other warm colors of Murano glass, all with added trailing. The focal bead is red and yellow, with gold mica powder, all encased in clear.

Turns out today was Global Work From Home Day. Guess I was late to the party. Anyway, I work from home. And here are some images of what I do with some glass and fire. #workfromhomeday #handmade #art #glass #hotglass #studioart #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #beads #glassbeads #jewelry #design #color #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #athensohio #buyartfromartists

Back on the torch again, after a long break imposed on me by circumstances. Experimenting with some new colors and color combinations. Much more coming soon. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #beads #glassbeads #studiolife #GlassStudio #handmade

Here's a little something I made at the torch, now in my Ko-fi shop. Various shades of opaque red and orange-red, with the large focal bead rolled in shades of blue enamel while white hot. You can find it here: https://ko-fi.com/s/1732aeeb9f #handmade #HandmadeArt #handmadejewelry #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glass #beads #glassbeads #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #artyoucanwear

It's always nice to get a good review from a customer! #Handmade #glass #beads #HotGlass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #necklace #jewelry #buyartfromartists #MastoArt

In the midst of all this madness, I'm posting a pair of earrings. Why? Because it's a brief distraction, but also because I could never put these in my Etsy shop; it wasn't worth it. Now that I'm shifting my work to my Ko-fi store, I can share these online. For this silver pair, I made spheres of opaque light blue and rolled them in multicolored frit while white hot. https://ko-fi.com/s/bb8f0cd0f1 #handmade #hotglass #earrings #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #buyartfromartists #MastoArt #flamework

Working on something festive for the upcoming holidays. #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #handmade #HandmadeArt #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts

Something new in my Etsy shop. I used 3 types of blue to make the beads for this piece: both dark and light opaque marbled blue and transparent electric blue. I mixed electric blue and light marbled with blue enamel for the large focal bead. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1772712848/necklace-of-handmade-lampwork-glass?click_key=55625740609dcef2cf651653d867e3634a88f370%3A1772712848&click_sum=35a48eac&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #glass #beads #handmade #HotGlass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #ArtYouCanWear #ArtGlass #GlassArt #StudioGlass #athensohio #madeinohio #ohioart #ohioartist #GlassBeads #glassbeadsjewelry #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

I finished this piece over the weekend. Is it geological? Woodsy? Avant-garde? However you interpret it, I think it turned out pretty well. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1766253969/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-20-inch #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #lampworkjewelry #beads #glassbeads #artyoucanwear #athensohio #madeinohio #PastPresentArt #christofmaupin

I have over a dozen pieces available now at the Athens Hot Glass shop! Flamework glass bead necklaces in enamel colors, flameworked pendants, glass bead bracelets, and earrings in copper and sterling silver featuring my glass beads. Stop by the shop, at 21 Kern Street in Athens, to see my work and make a purchase for yourself or a friend. #handmade #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #athensohio #ohioartist

It may never be pretty, but it's functional. I'm up and running in my new studio, the old metal-roofed cinder block building on the property. I've run power 150 feet to the structure, cleared it of debris, etc. and am set up with a hot head. Lots of tweaking to get the space up to the condition I'd like, but it'll do for now. #athensohio #ohioartist #ohioart #ohioglass #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #glassstudio #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

In the midst of packing and shipping my life off to Athens, Ohio, I found time to make a proper short video of this lampwork necklace I made a couple of weeks ago.

Despite having sold much of my inventory at recent shows, I have over 40 pieces in my Etsy shop, including this one (Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712658082/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=b16dbe38db634de12c422b2ac48df94eff7f9ee5%3A1712658082&click_sum=c36f94a6&ref=shop_home_active_7&frs=1 ).

Once I get settled in mid-June, I'll be back on my torch.

I can never get enough blue; all kinds of blue. In this new piece, I used a marbled blue to make the donut beads, a deep transparent blue for the tubular beads, and a pale transparent amethyst for the focal bead, enhanced with the other two blues. You can find it here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1714976045/lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in-marbled?click_key=2702cf7b25703c2820a4613ff85592a27153425c%3A1714976045&click_sum=67818122&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #MastoGlass #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #studioglass #pnw #oregon #salemoregon #blue #hotglass

This was a fun piece to make, using off-white / cream colored opaque and bright white opaque glass to make the beads. These were rolled in a range of different frit mixtures, resulting in really satisfying color combinations that pop upon close inspection. I've just added this to my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1698468070/lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-of-opaque?click_key=f8d800ef7922ef83a0a4155901a61c4c7104348a%3A1698468070&click_sum=4d8bb6f5&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #glass #beads #lampwork #HotGlass #jewelry #necklace #frit #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #salemoregon #pnw #glassart #glassartist

Another new necklace this morning. I used semi-opaque and transparent glass in pink, orange-red, yellow, purple, violet, green and various shades of blue to make these chunky drop-shaped beads. 19 inches long. In my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1708880163/lampwork-flamework-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=4fff925d1aecffc9b3e060f6dcd41e012afe3bba%3A1708880163&click_sum=7921a646&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #pnw #oregon #SalemOregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt #ArtYouCanWear

I'm still having fun playing with my new toy, a two-part, hand-held brass glass press mold for making hexagonal beads. I finished this piece yesterday, using a range of blue glass, including marbled, opaque and transparent: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1691203576/lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=0a72ef4556c07bc9856b72a8985d4cb24dc7e3ed%3A1691203576&click_sum=0ba44354&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #HotGlass #HandmadeGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Lampwork #Flamework #Torchwork #StudioGlass #StudioArt

I used a hand-held hexagonal brass press to form the beads while they were still red-hot for this new piece. Very earthy colors throughout. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1698736175/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=f0b2dfb6e710fc4499a0148d056c7f46f0eb0bc1%3A1698736175&click_sum=286bdd81&ref=shop_home_active_3&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #hexagon #Art #buyhandmade #ArtYouCanWear #RealArt #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #HotGlass #pnw #oregon #salemoregon

I'll be a vendor at this market at the State Fairgrounds here in Salem. I'll be there Saturday, March 9 only.

A short clip from the studio this evening. I'm adding a strand of marbled opaque charcoal glass to a bead of marbled opaque sandstone glass. Then I'll make another in the reverse combination, and so on. Watch for the finished piece in a few days. #MastoArt #beads #glass #handmade #studioart #glassartist #glassart #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #beads #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #hotglass

Added to my shop today: I used transparent shades of violet-blue glass, and opaque blue and purple glass to make the beads. This necklace is 19 inches long. In my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1651636425/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=2b4f04e395bb4f4d97921c80a434e64c302660ed%3A1651636425&click_sum=5d1980d6&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #StudioGlass #beads #GlassBeads #HandmadeGlass #HandmadeBeads #Lampwork #Torchwork #Flamework #PNW #SalemOregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt #EtsyShop

A new piece that's not in my shop (see profile), but will be available at my last show of 2023, the Etsy Handmade Market at the State Fairgrounds in Salem, OR, December 2, 10 AM-5 PM. A 17-inch-long necklace in both transparent and semi-opaque light blue, rolled in flameworking enamels in a range of pastel shades. #handmade #MastoArt #lampwork #jewelry #necklace #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flamework #buyhandmade #handmademarket #handmadeoregon

A bracelet I've just finished and added to my Etsy shop. I've used silver leaf, fusing it to the darker glass while in the torch flame. All Murano glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1598155167/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=5e3202fc9f79613e92c4864a5545654ec6ef67f6%3A1598155167&click_sum=90841705&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #glassbeads #HotGlass #studioglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #jewelry #bracelet #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #etsy #HolidayShopping #buyhandmade #buyartfromartists

New in my shop, something with a woodsy, earthy feel. Flameworking enamels (2 shades of pale flesh tone, a mossy green, a chocolate brown, a pale transparent yellow, and a pale blue-grey) sandwhiched between layers of Murano clear, with added combinations of frit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1485228055/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=28a4a804929372d2e0b186b76ff0709ee3d24160%3A1485228055&click_sum=82da8a15&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassbeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #necklace #jewelrydesign #enamel #flamework #torchwork #frit #glassfrit #glassart #glassartist #madeinoregon #salemoregon #christofmaupin
