#studioglass — 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.

Sometimes, when working on a larger piece, I pause for a bit and just make something else, like a random bead, pendant, or sculpture. This is a large, thick pendant bead with a core of fire engine red opaque glass, and marbling in other opaque colors, including teal, orange, grey, beige and yellow. I've mounted it on brass wire, before suspending it from a faux leather cord. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #glasspendant #studioglass #artyoucanwear #athensohio

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

Here's a little something I made at the torch, now in my Ko-fi shop. Various shades of opaque red and orange-red, with the large focal bead rolled in shades of blue enamel while white hot.

Friday fun: Lentil shaped opaque glass pendant. I used light sky blue glass, manipulating the hot glass with brass tools. Why brass? Because the copper in the brass, combined with the slightly "dirty" flame from a hothead torch, interacts chemically with this blue to form the rust red splotches. Strung on faux leather with silver wire, spacer beads, and lobster claw clasp

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

I've been taking lots of work out of my Etsy shop and putting it into my Ko-fi shop. So the next several things I share with you will be links to work now in my Ko-fi. And, of course, if you really like any of it, feel free to make a purchase there or become a supporter for as little as $3 per month. Here's a new pair of hot glass bead earrings: https://ko-fi.com/s/fa229ca260 #Handmade #MastoArt #Glass #Studioglass #studioart #artyoucanwear #lampwork #beads #glassbeads #earrings

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

A while back I posted a video showing the effects of baking soda on lampwork soda-lime glass. Well, here's a finished piece in that technique. Note the wide range of surface textures and color blends. This is 18 inches long and in my Etsy shop now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1794464717/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-hot-glass?click_key=aa61d33564c968ca3095d9ee1a43eb2aeb0eb392%3A1794464717&click_sum=5a41e307&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #lampwork #torchwork #hotglass #handmade #ArtYouCanWear #glassart #studioglass #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'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

Inspired by the colorful jewelry of Late Antiquity, I used multiple colors of Murano glass, enhanced with mica powder and slices of millefiori cane to make this hot glass necklace. In my shop now: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1747137868/handmade-flamework-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=00f98b9a093ba0d642fa278737f078a9be3fe668%3A1747137868&click_sum=72c04fcf&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #StudioGlass #ArtYouCanWear #jewelry

As I was in a flurry of work on my torch leading up to my final shows in Oregon, I made quite a few pieces I didn't have time to share. This is one: A necklace in various shades of transparent and opaque greens, browns and orange. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712874928/handmade-lampworktorchwork-glass-bead?click_key=8bd5ee7112d5a0aac0135bf2888f2f770462eabf%3A1712874928&click_sum=0957e7dd&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #HotGlass #MastoArt #Handmade #Lampwork #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Glass #Beads #Jewelry #Necklace #StudioGlass #ArtOfTheDay #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

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

Find me this Saturday at Sheep-to-Shawl in Salem, Oregon. This will be my last show in Oregon before relocating. #glass #handmade #HotGlass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #art #studioglass #artglass #artyoucanwear #shoplocal #shophandmade #buyhandmade #buyartfromartists #salemoregon #pnw

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

Another new necklace this morning. I used semi-opaque and transparent glass in pink, orange-red, yellow, purple, violet, green and various shades of blue to make these chunky drop-shaped beads. 19 inches long. In my shop here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1708880163/lampwork-flamework-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=4fff925d1aecffc9b3e060f6dcd41e012afe3bba%3A1708880163&click_sum=7921a646&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #pnw #oregon #SalemOregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt #ArtYouCanWear

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

These bracelets are not in my Etsy shop, but I'll have them and much more {bracelets, necklaces, earrings, wine glass charms, loose beads, and more), at my final 2 shows in Oregon:

* Saturday, April 27, 10 AM-4 PM Salem Etsy Team Spring 2024 Handmade Market. Scottish Rite Center.
* Saturday, May 4, 10 AM-4 PM Sheep to Shawl Festival. Willamette Heritage Center.

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

And now for something completely different! This eclectic piece features sculptural "beads" I made at the torch, all with applied silver leaf, an enameled copper pendant, and more pendants of hammered bronze with concentric designs. Definitely different, but fun to make. And I know someone out there is going to want this. Here's the link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1653672144/handmade-lampwork-glass-necklace-with?click_key=880ff735e6475ff997d08131f435d19f3f8721d7%3A1653672144&click_sum=0e3da7b5&ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1 #Handmade #MastoArt #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Beads #necklace #jewelry #ArtYouCanWear #PNW #oregon #StudioGlass #StudioArt

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
