#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

With Spring arriving, here's something new. I've used opaque glass in various shades of green and grey to make this, with added frit on the focal bead. It's in my shop here: https://ko-fi.com/s/d34d26b6cd #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #lampwork #necklace #jewelry #beads #GlassArt #GlassArtist #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

Something very red. Transparent and semi opaque red and orange-red. You can find this in my Ko-fi shop (copy and paste link): https://ko-fi.com/christofmaupin07/shop #lampwork #hotglass #glassart #artyoucanwear #torchwork #glassartist #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #studioglass

Something simple for Sunday. I used transparent emerald green glass to make these beads, then added a thick thread of opaque pale green for contrast. The punched out brass discs beneath I heated, then allowed to develop a natural patina over several months outdoors. The ear wires are pure copper. In my Ko-fi shop (link in my profile). #earrings #beads #glass #hotglass #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #jewelry #simplesunday #athensohio #handmade #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

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.

Here's a little something I made recently. A 19-inch long necklace of clear glass beads I rolled in colored enamels while white hot, then encased in more clear glass. It's in my Ko-fi shop, here: https://ko-fi.com/s/e53cc19c1d #handmade #MastoArt #hotglass #lampworking #flameworking #artyoucanwear #Studioglass #glassart #glassartist

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

Like so many artists, I'm moving my online presence away from Etsy. Despite their transparently defensive claims to the contrary, and an abundance of nonsensical "happy talk" by their marketing team, Etsy has become an outlet for cheap, machine made, imported junk. Artists with personal and creative integrity are fleeing the Etsy brand in hordes. Much of my work can now be found on my Ko-fi site: ko-fi.com/christofmaupin07 #goodbyeEtsy #Kofi #handmade #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork

SOLD! A new piece in my Ko-fi shop. I used semi opaque shades of light blue glass to make the beads, then rolled them in blue, purple and green shades of enamel powder while white hot, putting them briefly back in the torch flame to fuse and melt. https://ko-fi.com/s/04b320188d #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #hotglass #lampworking #artyoucanwear #glassart #glassartist

I won't be shipping any holiday purchases after today, but if you are local (Athens County, Ohio area) other arrangements can be made. Dozens of pieces in my Etsy shop here, and many more than are not (copy and paste the link): https://pastpresentartcraft.etsy.com #etsyshop #etsyseller #handmade #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #glass #holidaygifts #shophandmade #buyartfromartists #MastoArt

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

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

A couple of new bits 'n bobs made from some of my lampwork glass beads and enameled copper pendants. Combining glass with enamel is always good. Not in my Etsy shop, but useful to have available for markets, festivals, etc. #handmade #MastoArt #lampworking #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #enamel

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

Baking soda can be used to create a texture to glass beads or other glass objects. Far left, the only effect is blending of two colors around the equator of the bead, which retains it's shine. Further right, the blending is more thorough, with a "metallic" surface appearance. Far right, bubbly surface from bursting bubbles, like some cratered distant moon. #Beads #MastoArt #handmade #handmadegass #lampworking #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #AthensOhio

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
