#hotglass — Public Fediverse posts

I sold these pieces and many more to a group of friends yesterday, all part of lightening the load for my big move to Las Cruces, New Mexico next month. #lampwork #hotglass #glassart #artyoucanwear #torchwork #glassartist #glass #handmade #beads #jewelry #glassbeads #athensohio #LasCrucesNM

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

I made these beads at the torch using transparent red and topaz glass, arranging the red beads to one side, and topaz to the other. The focal bead is red glass encased in clear, with fused gold mica on the surface. Handmade glass art from my studio.

WIP. One of several. Stay tuned. #glass #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #hotglass #beads #lampworkbeads #flameworking #toechworking #artyoucanwear #athenscountyohio #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #handmade #pastpresentarts

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

Another pair of earrings, this with transparent yellow and semi opaque canary beads I made at the torch, and some brass pendants I cut out and hammered. In my Ko-fi shop. https://ko-fi.com/s/8fc53454b6 #handmade #HotGlass #MastoArt #lampworking #beads #glass #glassbeads #jewelry #design #buyartfromartists

I used 2 types of colored mica fused to shades of transparent glass while in the torch flame to make the beads for this necklace, inspired by the iridescence one finds on ancient and other historic glass. Here's a link to it in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1804747254/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=c7d7d46bf78068100e9c77ca20d451e8e7415aa0%3A1804747254&click_sum=e5450843&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #beads #glass #glassbeads #handmade #lampwork #hotglass #MastoArt

This is very similar to a piece I created and posted here a couple of weeks ago, using the same baking soda technique, but I used a wider and brighter range of colors. Overall, I like this one better than the previous example. It's in my Etsy shop now (link in my profile). #handmade #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampworkjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #etsyshop #etsyfinds #necklace

The only thing that's as much fun as working with some new colors is opening the box! #Lampwork #lampworking #lampworkbeads #lampworkglass #torchwork #flameworking #hotglass #artyoucanwear #effetre #morettiglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #handmadeglassbeads #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #glassart #glassartist

I used canes of green, rose and blue glass with encased strands of opaque white to make the beads for this 18-inch necklace. The white strands give the beads a sense of movement. The colors suggest the holidays, but this could be worn anytime. It's in my Etsy shop now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1810739971/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=f8f3ec3eafc2ad4ff7ab7bbd799da4ebc09a5c5a%3A1810739971&click_sum=e5e07965&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampworkjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #etsyshop #etsyfinds #MastoArt

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

Just a little something for a Thursday. A bracelet in opaque navy blue glass, with applied frit in pale blue, light green, cream, and pale pink. I'll have this and dozens of hot glass necklaces, earrings, bracelets, pendants, wine glass charms, loose beads, and more at the Alonzo Weed Festival in Amesville, this Saturday at 5 PM. #HandmadeGlass #hotglass #glassart #glassbeads #lampwork #flameworking #torchwork #handmade #artyoucanwear #madeinohio #Amesville #alonzoweedfestival #MastoArt

Something recently completed in my shop. I've used 3 shades of green Murano glass to make these beads. If you like green, this is for you! https://www.etsy.com/listing/1773552489/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in #MastoArt #Handmade #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #HandmadeGlass #glassbeads #handmadebeads #artyoucanwear #lampwork #torchwork #flameworking #MadeInOhio

I've just finished this, which is directly based upon ancient Hellenistic and early Roman "evil eye" beads. I've used Murano glass, of course, to make the components. The focal beads is transparent dark violet, the other beads transparent cobalt blue, and the "eyes" opaque yellow, teal and dark red. In my shop now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1754780944/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in #MastoArt #handmade #hotglass #lampwork #studioglass #art #artglass #ArtYouCanWear #MadeInOhio #GlassArtist #glassbeads #jewelry #ArtHistory

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

Not a new piece, but one that is newly added to my Etsy shop. A single tiny implosion bead: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1747365325/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-implosion?click_key=a0b2253ac8149bba2b7078c37c8889c490d121af%3A1747365325&click_sum=66d99b3d&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #glass #hotglass #implosion #lampwork #torchwork #etsy

Output from my last couple of days in the studio, just in time for tomorrow: 38th Annual #sheeptoshawl Festival at the Willamette Heritage Center here in Salem. I'll be set up indoors (yay!) and out of any potential rain. My last appearance in Oregon. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers! #HotGlass #buyhandmade #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #buyartfromartists #shoplocal #pnw #salemoregon #handmade #MastoArt

Thank you so much to everyone who came out to the @salemetsyteam Spring Handmade Market. I had a great show, and met some lovely new customers and vendors. Here are a few of the items I sold yesterday. Missed me yesterday? Catch me at #sheeptoshawl at the Willamette Heritage Center next Saturday. Cheers! #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #oregon #pnw #buylocal #shoplocal #shophandmade #buyhandmade

Just 1 week after the Salem Etsy Team Spring Handmade Market, I'll be offering my work at the Willamette Heritage Center's 38th Annual Sheep-to-Shawl Festival. This will be my very last show before I leave Oregon, so I hope you local Salem area folks will drop by! #salemoregon #salemoregonlife #willametteheritagecenter #oregon #oregonevents #sheeptoshawl #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #handmade #artforsale #buylocal #buyhandmade

I have 3 big markets to attend over the next 3 months, so of course I'm making lots more earrings. I usually have about 100 pair at every show, with every bead made by hand on my torch. #earrings #handmade #glass #beads #lampwork #art #buylocal #buyhandmade #handmadejewelry #glassbeads #handmademarket #hotglass #pnw #oregon #salemoregonlife #MastoArt

Mark your calendar for the 34th Annual Westminster Festival of Fine Arts, one month from now. I'll be offering my very best hot glass jewelry, as well as my hand built ceramics, and one or two surprises. #westminsterfestivaloffineart #hotglass #ceramics #artyoucanwear #buyartfromartists #buylocalart #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #glassbeadjewelry #lampworkjewelry #handbuiltceramics #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon #willamettevalley #pnwartist

This sweet beauty is sold and on its way shortly to a customer here in Oregon. This beautiful Murano topaz glass goes really well with transparent electric blue, and I'm working on another piece now that will feature those 2 colors. #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #glassbeadnecklace #glassart #glassartist #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #madeinoregon #oregonglass #madeinthepnw #pnwglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #sold

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been in my studio working long hours. Sneak peek at a couple of works in progress. I have a series of pieces to create for a gallery here in Salem (more on that in a few weeks), as well as a long checklist of works for upcoming shows and my Etsy shop. I'll post finished work here as it becomes available. #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkjewelry #beads #glassbeads #oregonglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #MastoArt

You can't go wrong with black and white. A little two-tone bracelet in my Etsy shop. Black and white opaque Murano glass with a decorative pewter toggle. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1504394069/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=0e645d37700b679448cfdb00647adbe3882c6ec0%3A1504394069&click_sum=a3927696&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #lampworkjewelry #lampworkbeads #handmadebeads #glassbeads #bracelets #beadedbracelets #torchwork #flamework #twotone #blackandwhite #madeinoregon #salemoregon #pnw #oregonglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

Making more hot glass earrings to replenish my stocks, as I sell so many. No two are alike, which may be why they sell so well. These are never in my Etsy shop. You'll need to track me down at a show, fair or festival. I post a schedule on the front page of my Etsy shop (link in profile). #earrings #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #torchwork #handmadebeads #christofmaupin #madeinoregon #oregonglass #pnwartist #oregonartist #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon

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

What a great day I had yesterday at Willamette Heritage Center's Sheep to Shawl Festival! Amazing staff and volunteers, smart and engaged visitors / customers, and plenty of fun for all. Here's a small sample of the work I sold yesterday (earrings not shown, as I sold so many pairs!). #willametteheritagecenter #sheeptoshawl #art #buyartfromartists #glass #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #salemoregon
