Another new piece that's not in my online shops yet. I'll put it online if it doesn't sell at the remaining Saturday markets before Xmas. I used a transparent red glass in a slightly orange shade to make the beads, rolled them in gold colored mica powder and put them back in the flame for a few seconds. Festive, but also slightly mysterious. glass #beads #handmade #necklace #jewelry #lampwork #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #studioglass #artisanglass #artyoucanwear #lascruces #newmexico #MastoArt

With the holidays upon us, I've been making lots of affordable pendants and pendant beads on faux leather cords, for use as stocking stuffers or impulse buys. I enjoy making these, because there's no set plan. I just sit at the torch and spontaneously make whatever I feel like. #glass #handmade #handmadeArt #HandmadeGlass #lampwork #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #pendants #NewMexico #lascruces #artisanglass

Yesterday our Saturday market became a Sunday mini-market, as Saturday was the Veteran's Day parade. Just 3 blocks long, instead of our usual 6. It was chilly, but with glorious sunshine. When a customer is deciding whether to buy a piece, I suggest they take it into the sunshine. That usually clinches the sale. It's the magic of glass. #glass #HotGlass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #handmadeglass #artisanglass #studioglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascruces #sunshine
