  1. Another little something simple: opaque green and orange-red beads I made on the torch, along with brass pendants I made by cutting, annealing and stamping the metal. In my Ko-fi shop here: ko-fi.com/s/b6b2440635 #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkbeads #lampworkglass #earrings #buyartfromartists #artyoucanwear #studioglass

  2. 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

  3. I've used a transparent smoke colored glass to make these beads, along with champagne and white overlaid with dark purple that appears black in all but bright natural light, and some opaque earth tones. I've also used two-part hand held presses, tong presses and a corduroy marver to create the unusual shapes and textures etsy.com/listing/1791491981/ha #lampworking #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #athensohio #madeinohio #handmade #MastoArt

  4. And one last piece for today. Not quite an "oldie but goodie," as I only made it a few months ago, but one that I haven't really shared on social media much. 19.5 inches long, so a full length necklace. When making the beads, I chose glass in colors similar to the national flag of Italy (it's Murano glass, after all). etsy.com/listing/1631882899/ha #Handmade #MastoArt #glass #beads #HotGlass #lampwork #jewelry #artyoucanwear #GlassArt #GlassArtist #MuranoGlass #pnw #torchwork #flamework

  5. If you follow me, you know I don't do special work for holidays. I make what I want to make, not what other people want me to make, and I don't conform to the algorithms. But since I'll be working on some sculptural pieces the next few weeks, I thought I'd do some hearts. The one on the chain will be in my Etsy by week's end. #beads #glass #jewelry #pendant #hearts #heartofglass #hotglass #glassartist #glassart #studioglass #studioart #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #oregon #pnw

  6. A stand-alone bead of Murano electric blue and bright green transparent glass, with splashes of purple and marbled blue opaque, some slices of Millefiori cane, and a dusting of blue and green enamel powders. Excuse my nails! Between torch time and other studio activity, my hands are a wreck. #MastoArt #Handmade #hotglass #glassartist #glassart #studioglass #lampworkglass #torchworkglass #artyoucanwear #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon

  7. New in my Etsy shop, this blue glass necklace with bi-conical beads, based on a type that was widespread during the Roman Empire. My concession to modernity is the large focal beads, with enamel, millefiori cane, blue and green transparent and touches of other types of glass. etsy.com/listing/1581110697/ha #HotGlass #Handmade #MastoArt #lampworkglass #torchworkglass #artyoucanwear #studioglass #salemoregon

  8. Today I'm assembling components for earrings. This time I'm using pairs of very small lampwork beads I made at the torch, in colors that complement textured bits of scrap copper and bronze I've cut up for this purpose. I'll have these and many more finished earrings in silver and copper at upcoming markets and festivals. #handmade #MastoArt #earrings #copper #bronze #beads #lampworkbeads #glass #glassbeads #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon #oregonart #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts

  9. A day's worth of beads in a range of sizes and styles, mostly for earrings but other items, as well, and all done smack in the middle of moving house / studio! Well, no matter what, the flame must be kept alive, LOL! #beads #glassbeads #lampworkbeads #lampwork #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #hotglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #salemoregon #MastoArt

  10. Not a new piece - made this quite a while ago - but one that I like because of the range of glass colors and frit I used in making it. It's in my Etsy shop (link in profile). #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #glassbeads #salemoregon #oregonart #oregonartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #etsy #etsyshop

  11. Another pair of earrings today. I made these beads from a couple of different shades of blue glass enhanced with blue enamel and blue frit. The resulting contrasts and swirls are very pleasing, looking very oceanic. Because of the layering and depth, they look quite different in various types of light. Isn't glass wonderful? etsy.com/listing/1513120970/ha #MastoArt #hotglass #handmade #glassbeads #lampworkbeads #handmadeglass #studioglass #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #madeinoregon #madeinthepnw

  12. I create and sell lots of lampwork glass bead earrings at street fairs and festivals, but very rarely online, as the cost and effort can't be justified for such inexpensive work. But by popular demand, I've added some to my shop. These have big (for earrings) chunky opaque red glass rolled in white enamel, creating an "orange peel" effect. etsy.com/listing/1509791860/ha #earrings #lampwork #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #MastoArt #Enamel #handmade #oregonart #oregonartist #pnw #salemoregon #artyoucanwear

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. 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

  16. 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
