  1. Again trying to capture some of the colors of the desert Southwest in opaque colors ranging from adobe yellows and oranges, through pinks and reds, and turquoise blues. In my Etsy and Ko-fi shops (links in my profile). #glass #NewMexicoGlass #lampwork #handmade #beads #GlassBeads #HandmadeGlass #HandmadeBeads #ArtYouCanWear #necklace #flamework #torchwork #LasCrucesNM #StudioGlass #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts #MastoArt

  2. For this new 20-inch necklace, I used 3 different shades of transparent blue glass, covering each in a thin layer of powdered blue enamel while the glass was white-hot. The focal pendant features a thin sheet of 24-carat gold leaf. It's a flashy piece, and now in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops. #glass #beads #necklace #handmade #lampwork #flamework #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #StudioGlass#ArtYouCanWear #LasCrucesNM #NewMexicoArtist #EnamelOnGlass #GoldLeaf #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

  3. This new necklace with a central pendant is not in my online shops, but I thought I'd share it anyway. It really is a hybrid of 2 styles I frequently use: raked trails of contrasting color, and a mix of broadly Southwestern colors, including reds, umbers, browns, and blues. It's 20.5 inches long. #glass #beads #handmade #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #necklace #jewelry #artyoucanwear #glassart #glassartist #newmexicoglass #newmexicoartist #lascrucesnm #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

  4. Now that the "Mira! Las Cruces" festival is over (I had an excellent couple of days!), it's time to share some new work. I used a range of rich red and topaz shades, transparent and opaque, to make the beads. On a whim I turned the focal bead into a little humanoid figure. This is in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. #glass #beads #handmade #necklace #hotglass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #studioglass #artisanglass #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascrucesnm #redglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts

  5. A bit of improvisation. My larger earrings get in the way on my displays for the Saturday Market. So I salvaged the light bulb cover from a shed at the back of the house (the fixture no longer has power), and took a grinder to it. With the old paint and rust removed, it's all shiny, and makes a fun little display for larger earrings. Test drive Saturday. #earrings #earringsdisplay #doıtyourself #upcycle #glass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #newmexico #farmersmarket #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

  6. These are new pieces that I probably won't put in my online shops, as they are likely to sell quickly at the Saturday Market. The first piece is loosely inspired by SW jewelry featuring red coral and turquoise, but of course entirely in opaque glass. The second incorporates blue enamel on white opaque glass, marbled blue, and transparent blue. #glass #beads #jewelry #art #artyoucanwear #handmade #lampwork #NewMexico #lascrucesnm #pastpresentarts #necklaces #farmersmarket #hotglass #MastoArt

  7. This isn't in my online shops, but thought I'd share this 16.5 inch long necklace, just a bit longer than choker length. I kept it short because when worn, the pendant that serves as a focal bead increases the length a bit. Earthy colors. #glass #handmadeglass #lampwork #lampworkglass #beads #glassbeads #glassbeadjewelry #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #necklace #jewelry #glassart #glassartist #newmexico #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist #studioglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

  8. I've been making heart shaped glass pendants in various shades of red, and with various types of surface decoration. These won"t be in my online shops but will be at my table at the Farmers Market in Downtown Las Cruces, February 7 & Valentine's Day February 14. If you're in southern New Mexico, I hope you'll drop by. #glass #handmade #hotglass #studioglass #artglass #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascruces #farmersmarket #valentinesday #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #heartofglass #MastoArt

  9. Finally, one more piece that sold so quickly I didn't have time to share (I'll stop here, lest I become tedious). Another bracelet, in marbled opaque black glass and opaque pastel white. #glass #beads #bracelet #jewelry #handmade #lampwork #hotglass #glassartist #newmexicoart #lascrucesnm #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

  10. 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

  11. I have over a dozen pieces available now at the Athens Hot Glass shop! Flamework glass bead necklaces in enamel colors, flameworked pendants, glass bead bracelets, and earrings in copper and sterling silver featuring my glass beads. Stop by the shop, at 21 Kern Street in Athens, to see my work and make a purchase for yourself or a friend. #handmade #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glassbeads #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #athensohio #ohioartist

  12. It may never be pretty, but it's functional. I'm up and running in my new studio, the old metal-roofed cinder block building on the property. I've run power 150 feet to the structure, cleared it of debris, etc. and am set up with a hot head. Lots of tweaking to get the space up to the condition I'd like, but it'll do for now. #athensohio #ohioartist #ohioart #ohioglass #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #glassstudio #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

  13. I'm now listed in the Ohio Arts Council's Artists Registry, which includes visual artists, writers, musicians, and more. My profile includes my Bio, a short Artist Statement, Portfolio and links to my social media and other websites. #ohio #ohioartscouncil #artistsregistry #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #art #artists #glass #hotglass #lampwork #handmade #MastoArt

  14. I'm moving! I'll still be creating work in hot glass, offering that work at markets, festivals, etc., and my Etsy shop, but in a different place: Athens, OH, an hour from Columbus and home to Ohio University. You can still find my work on Etsy (link in profile). If you live in central or southeast Ohio, I'll see you soon!. #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkglass #ohioartist #ohioart #athensohio #athensohioartist #athensohioart #Ohio #MastoArt #Handmade

  15. In the midst of packing and shipping my life off to Athens, Ohio, I found time to make a proper short video of this lampwork necklace I made a couple of weeks ago.

    Despite having sold much of my inventory at recent shows, I have over 40 pieces in my Etsy shop, including this one (Link: etsy.com/listing/1712658082/ha ).

    Once I get settled in mid-June, I'll be back on my torch.

  16. After back-to-back very successful shows, just a week apart, my Etsy shop was seriously denuded of product! Luckily, I had made many new pieces just before the shows, and have now uploaded some of them. Here's one, featuring green, blue-green, blue, pink and red enamel powders added to the glass and encased. etsy.com/listing/1726971139/ha #Handmade #HotGlass #Lampwork #Beads #MastoArt #artyoucanwear #torchwork #GlassArt #GlassArtist #PastPresentArts

  17. Thank you so much to everyone who visited my space at yesterday's 38th Annual Sheep-to-Shawl Festival at the Willamette Heritage Center here in Salem. What a great way to close out my last show in Oregon before relocating! Here are a few of the items I sold to the very engaged and enthusiastic visitors. #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #handmade #buyhandmade #shoplocal #shophandmade #pastpresentarts #ChristofMaupin #studioart #studioglass

  18. 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.

  19. REMINDER: Saturday, February 10, I'll be at VENTI'S DOWNTOWN, 325 COURT ST NE, SALEM, OR, 11 AM to 4 PM, for a pop-up Valentine's Market with a dozen other makers. See you then! #valentines #handmade #makersmarket #salemoregon #glass #beads #jewelry #hotglass #lampwork #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #MastoArt

  20. I made a pair of tiny Christmas tree earrings, just for fun. Not in my shop, but I'll have a couple of pairs of these at the big Salem Etsy Team's Handmade Market on December 2, at the State Fairgrounds here in Salem, 10 AM - 5 PM. #handmade #MastoArt #buyhandmade #realhandmade #handmadeart #handmadejewelry #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #ArtYouCanWear #salem #salemoregon #oregonartist #earrings #lampwork #glassbeads #pastpresentarts

  21. Just 45 days until the big Salem Etsy Team Handmade Holiday Market. 150 vendors (including me) at the Oregon State Fairgrounds. We've had thousands of attendees in past years, buying every kind of handmade goods. Free parking, free admission, door prizes and more. I'll have lots of new work for you. More details as we get closer to the day. #handmademarket #MastoArt #holidaymarket #salemoregon #buyhandmade #buylocal #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear

  22. 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

  23. 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

  24. I'm taking a very short break from the torch, focusing on fused glass. Here's something new. I'll be adding new lampwork glass and fused glass to my shop in a couple of weeks. Until then, busy busy in the studio. #MastoArt #glass #hotglass #fusedglass #glassart #glassartist #fusedglassart #green #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #oregonglass #salemoregon #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

  25. 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. etsy.com/.../drop-earrings-fea... #handmade #handmadejewelry #hotglass #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #glassbeads #earrings #lampworkbeads #lampwork #MastoArt #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #madeinoregon #pnw #salemoregon #buyartfromartists #buylocalart
