#hotglass — Public Fediverse posts

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.

Good morning friends. It's difficult to say those words when we all know what we must stand and confront for the next 4 years, and possibly more. But I must go on making my art at the torch. Here's a piece with lots of little fish I sculpted in the flame. And here's a link to it in my Ko-fi shop. https://ko-fi.com/s/5d26437cf9#Handmade #MastoArt #glass #beads #jewelry #necklace #artyoucanwear #artglass #glassart #glassartist #flameworking #hotglass #tropicalfish #MakeArtUntilTheWorldBurns

Staying in the studio to stay sane. Please don't be one of those followers who dumps people just because the election is over, and they don't post enough political stuff. I'm still here, not going to Canada, prepared to resist, still making hot glass. You can find this bracelet here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1809964048/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=1a76ae6ee9096a782b0f49aded388d9c8edba04e%3A1809964048&click_sum=ab6a67d7&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #HandmadeArt #BuyArtFromArtists #athensohio #MadeInOhio #Handmade

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

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 https://www.etsy.com/listing/1791491981/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=66f2724b349e4dadf7b157d80fd4793f83aa187b%3A1791491981&click_sum=287971db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #lampworking #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #athensohio #madeinohio #handmade #MastoArt

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

Something new in my Etsy shop: I made these beads based on techniques and styles found in Anglo-Saxon beads found in England from the mid-4th to 7th Century CE. This piece is 19 inches long. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1783900995/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=a7088d24ccfc52a7661bdd403756c629b97f7e84%3A1783900995&click_sum=45cb1cfb&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #HotGlass #lampwork #beads #handmade #artyoucanwear #StudioGlass #ArtGlass #MadeInOhio #AthensOhio #MastoArt

I met some lovely people and sold some work at the 2024 Alonzo Weed Festival in Amesville, OH this past Saturday! Looking forward to doing it all again next year. #handmade #HotGlass #Lampwork #Amesville #MadeInOhio #MastoArt

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

Hi, everyone! I'll be set up not far from the corner of State and Main Streets in Amesville, for this year's Alonzo Weed Festival, Saturday, August 17, starting 5 PM, offering my hot glass creations. Hope to see you then. #glassart #glassartist #handmade #amesvilleoh #alonzoweedfestival #madeinohio #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flameworking #SEOhio #aryoucanwear #buylocal #shoplocal #hockinghills #athenscountyohio

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

While work progresses on my new studio space, I'm fiddling about with loose beads, enamel and metal components, and other bits and bobs, to assemble some simple new pendant pieces. #glass #beads #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #pendants #handmade #enamel #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #athensohio #madeinohio #MastoArt

A new piece in my Etsy shop. This 18.50 inch necklace features barrel shaped beads in dark transparent blue that I've encased in a pale amethyst glass, and donut shaped beads in marbled blue glass, with silver colored spacers. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1714976045/lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in-marbled?click_key=a51d755aee89655c6601248d63514dd09dd54343%3A1714976045&click_sum=662f2af5&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #lampwork #beads #handmade glass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #jewelry #necklace #artyoucanwear #studioglass #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon #pnw #pastpresentart #christofmaupin #glassdesign #artlovers #artoftheday

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

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'll be a vendor at this market at the State Fairgrounds here in Salem. I'll be there Saturday, March 9 only. Looking forward to seeing some of my Oregon friends there. #glass #beads #handmade #jewelry #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #vendormarket #artisanmarket #makersmarket #handcrafted #supportlocalbusiness #shoplocal #supportlocalartists #salemoregon

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

I've been making lots of work with purple and violet shades of glass lately. I think Winter makes me shift to that end of the spectrum. In any event, here are some violet beads I made for earrings. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1531762498/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-earrings-in?click_key=49745c526dae25052716a86e43082211a0fe4a46%3A1531762498&click_sum=ff2fbb65&ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #earrings #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #pnw #oregon #salemoregon #artyoucanwear #jewelry #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #studioglass

I've been finishing as much new work as possible, as it's about to get too cold to work in my studio, at least for a few days. I've used bright colors for this new flamework glass bead necklace. 18 inches on faux leather cord. In my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1640983480/handmade-18-inch-lampwork-torchwork?click_key=8e62adbc1fc262fb25e300cadef9d361e005bf69%3A1640983480&click_sum=331b2000&ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1 #glass #beads #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #jewelry #necklace #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon #studiolife #pnw

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

Happy first Friday of 2024. I shot this little video last night. When your beads have cooled, you've cleaned them up, assembled them, added spacers and a toggle, and you hold it up to the light in your studio and think: Yeah, that works. It's good. I'm loving those shades of transparent purple. #MastoArt #Handmade #glassbeads #studioglass #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #salemoregon #pnw #artyoucanwear #hotglass #glassart #glassart #studioglass #purple #beads #jewelry #studiolife

Finishing up a new piece with shades of blue encased in clear, and bits of shiny coppery gold. Not in my shop yet, but will be soon, along with a few more new pieces. Stay tuned... #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #studioglass #glassbeads #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #pnw #salemoregon

Last post for '23, finished on the torch yesterday. 18.5 inch necklace, featuring 2 shades of transparent red, opaque charcoal, sandstone and brown, transparent amethyst and violet. I've sketched out many new works for next year. Enjoy the end of this trip around the sun. See you in '24. #hotglass #lampwork #flameworking #artyoucanwear #glass #beads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #necklace #handmadejewelry #triparoundthesun #salemoregon #pnw https://www.etsy.com/listing/1646627481/handmade-lampworktorchwork-glass-bead?click_key=86e3bb491b3d42a1d21bd1ff1032b576a2912b0d%3A1646627481&click_sum=2c76f68f&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving Day! Saturday, December 2 is my final show of the year here in Salem, the big Salem Etsy Team Handmade Market at the State Fairgrounds. Until then, I'm posting one piece of my work every day. Here's today's selection: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1401742047/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-heart?click_key=deae78e7ecd8a2a5a020b927e6f0431fb4dfe857%3A1401742047&click_sum=88ab67c2&ref=shop_home_active_16&frs=1 #buyhandmade #realhandmade #handmadeart #handmadeglass #handmadejewelry #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #ArtYouCanWear #studioglass #salem #salemoregon #madeinoregon #oregonart #oregonartist #holidaymarket

This is done, and I'm pleased. 18 inches long. Dark transparent purple with applied and raked trails of marbled light opaque blue. The inspiration was a Hellenistic glass bead necklace in the Israel Museum, in cobalt blue with wavy white trailing, but as I was working, it evolved: more like antique Venetian beads.#glass #lampwork #handmade #jewelry #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #handmadeglass #arthistory #glasshistory #venetianglass #handmademarket #handmadeoregon #handmadegifts

Saturday, December 2 is my final show of the year here in Salem, the big Salem Etsy Team Handmade Market at the State Fairgrounds. In the lead up to that, I'm posting one piece of my work every day. Here's today's selection: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1304023217/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=ffd50b14cf647ec9bceece9ccc7e347c07264406%3A1304023217&click_sum=0cb36f61&ref=shop_home_active_46&frs=1 #MastoArt #Handmade #buyhandmade #realhandmade #handmadeart #handmadejewelry #handmadeglass #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #ArtYouCanWear #salem #salemoregon #oregonartist

A new piece I've made using transparent light rose, clear, and light yellow glass, over which I've applied enamels in pale pink, orange, beige and yellow. The focal bead is clear glass with added opaque threads and orange enamel. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1573296006/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=153777117b994c8669f1a80e50dc8892a50d746e%3A1573296006&click_sum=9dcbfd12&ref=shop_home_active_13&frs=1 #hotglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampwork #lampworking #artyoucanwear #holidayshopping #buyhandmade #buyartfromartists #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon

New in my shop and practically still warm from my torch is this necklace of somewhat muted, earthy tones, all in Murano glass. I've chosen opaque sandstone, opaque marbled golden brown, opaque marbled charcoal, opaque orange rock, black on white, and transparent dark topaz as my colors. Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1569573516/handmade-lampwork-hot-glass-necklace-in?click_key=87b15c1b8bbe869329124b468ad5eb4aeec84913%3A1569573516&click_sum=ebcf0a1e&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #Handmade #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #necklace #jewelry #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #studioglass #salemoregon

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

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

Brand-new piece in my shop. I just cannot get enough of this marbled Murano blue. But I used the last of it on this new necklace. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1524280990/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=2921e4e55ee27bfa50e23b7772b5874bce296b4d%3A1524280990&click_sum=5f5845db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #necklace #studioglass #artglass #artyoucanwear #buyartfromartists #muranoglass #hotglass #salemoregon #madeinoregon

Another pair of earrings today, this time with beads I made from transparent yellow and semi-opaque mango glass, rolled in very fine frit, suspended from copper ear wires, and with textured bronze strips suspended beneath. Warm colors all around. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1524021267/drop-earrings-featuring-handmade?click_key=0efe6bbcce8e3622a5ab5ee5c95f68957817041d%3A1524021267&click_sum=ad4f8253&ref=shop_home_active_2&pro=1&frs=1#handmade #handmadejewelry #hotglass #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #glassbeads #earrings #lampworkbeads #lampwork #MastoArt #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #madeinoregon #pnw #salemoregon #buyartfromartists #buylocalart

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

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
