  1. This necklace, with polygons, discs, corrugated tubes, and other eclectic shapes, is now in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops (links in profile). #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #handmade #HotGlass #Flamework #Torchwork #Lampwork #StudioGlass #ArtGlass #ArtYouCanWear #LasCrucesNM #NewMexicoGlass

  2. I made a little collage of some of the hot glass art I've sold over the last several weeks. It's always helpful to stop and look back at recent work before moving on to new projects.. #glass #beads #jewelry #handmade #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #HotGlass #StudioGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #LasCrucesNM NewMexicoArt #NewMexicoGlass

  3. In my Etsy & Kofi shops (links in profile): What seemed at first a quirky combo of transparent purple and peach turned out well. I rolled the beads while white hot in powdered mica for extra sparkle. For the focal and 2 other large beads, I used canary yellow and green and encased them in clear glass. #glass #art #HotGlass #MastoArt #flamework #torchwork #lampwork #StudioGlass #Handmade #ArtYouCanWear #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ChristofMaupin #NewMexicoArt #LasCrucesNM

  4. 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

  5. Once I get back to the Saturday Farmers & Crafters Market in Downtown #lascrucesnm on August 1, I'll have lots of new material, including bracelets in all sizes and styles, all made by my hands with glass and fire. See you then! #glass #art #handmade #bracelets #jewelry #HotGlass #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #studioglass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #NewMexicoArt #NewMexicoGlass #MastoArt

  6. I never got the chance to share this necklace before it sold at the Saturday market. I used opaque white glass as the base, and rolled each red-hot bead in my own mixture of frit. #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #glass #HotGlass #handmadeglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads #glassbeadnecklace #frit #artyoucanwear #LasCrucesNM #NewMexicoArt #GlassArt #GlassArtist #MastoArt #handmade

  7. 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

  8. 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

  9. This necklace evokes some of the colors of the Southwest generally, and New Mexico in particular. Several different colors of opaque glass used here, with a dark turquoise peeking through the earthy red, orange and yellow tones. I made the central pendant resemble a sort of talisman. It's in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artisanglass #necklace #jewelry #handmadeglass #newmexicoart #lascrucesart #southwest

  10. In addition to hot glass for our weekly market, I'm making new glass for a big show later this month. Made in the last few days: a necklace with raking designs, another in 3 shades of transparent green, a bracelet in powdered enamel on white opaque glass encased in clear, and some earrings. Watch for more new hot glass in a few days. #glass #beads #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #handmade #studioglass #necklace #earrings #bracelet #newmexico #lascrucesnm #lascrucesart

  11. Another necklace is this coral red and dark turquoise blue combination that I find very satisfying. The central pendant is a mix of colors I've used to resemble stones that can be found in the environment here in southern New Mexico. This necklace is 21 inches long (!), and is available in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. #glass #beads #handmade #necklace #jewelry #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artisanglass #newmexico #lascrucesnm #MastoArt

  12. Transparent amethyst colored glass and two shades of transparent blue glass. I've added frit in mixed colors to the dark blue while it was white-hot. I'll be at the Saturday market, as usual, this week, but will be taking Saturday, the 28th off for our local No Kings III event. #glass #beads #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmade #blue #amethyst #necklace #jewelry #studioglass #artisanglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist #farmersmarket #nokings

  13. A little something new for spring. 17.5 inch necklace with 2 shades of transparent green with added frit, and opaque green, red and yellow flowers and leaves made with small handheld presses. It's in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops (links in profile). #lampwork #glass #beads #handmade #torchwork #flamework #Spring #green #artyoucanwear #artisanglass #satudioglass #hotglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoart #newmexicoartist #MastoArt

  14. The funny thing about farmers markets, art fairs, street festivals, etc., is that it's often impossible to gauge how they'll turn out. I thought yesterday would be a pretty ordinary day at our local market, but with lots of tourists from more northerly climates visiting, it turned out to be a very good day. Here are some of the items I sold, along with various bracelets, earrings, pendants, etc. #farmersmarket #handmade #glass #beads #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

  15. This 20 inch necklace is finally finished. Inspired by Hellenistic era apotropaic eye beads, but with a selection of more transparent colors than one would find on ancient examples. When we see surviving ancient eye beads today (they were popular from the late Bronze Age onward), they are most often degraded, pitted, discolored, etc., from burial in the ground. #glass #beads #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #art #handmade #newmexico #LasCrucesNM #artyoucanwear #jewelry #necklace

  16. 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

  17. I have just 2 more markets before Christmas, so I'm making lots of new pendants and other items in the time remaining. These little pieces are among the work from yesterday's studio time. And I'll have some interesting new lines of work available in the new year, so stay tuned. #handmade #glass #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #pendants #artyoucanwear #studiotime #artisanglass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #Mastoart #newmexico #lascruces #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts

  18. While most of my sales come from markets and festivals, I continue selling online, especially through my Ko-fi shop (see link in profile). This piece recently sold to a customer in Kansas. The tropical fish were fun to make. #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #lampwork #lampworkbeads #flamework #torchwork #studioglass #artglass #artisanglass #artyoucanwear #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newméxico #newmexicoartist #christofmaupin

  19. 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

  20. Something new that's definitely not blue. I used shades of opaque and transparent red, peach, topaz, mauve, and other shades of glass to make this 19 inch necklace. Most are barrel or tubular shaped, but I've also made 6 small beads I rolled in gold colored mica while hot. It's in my Ko-fi and Etsy shops (links in profile). #handmade #glass #HotGlass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #jewelry #necklace #artisanglass #studioglass #glassbeads #newmexico #lascruces #MastoArt

  21. A new piece in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops. I used a turquoise opaque shade of Murano glass to make the beads, adding splashes of red and earth tones, and a thin band of marbled blue around each bead. 17.25 inches long. Here's the link to it in my Ko-fi shop: ko-fi.com/s/9fcfc66da1 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #beads #HotGlass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artisanglass #necklace #jewelry #newmexico #lascruces

  22. Another good market this past Saturday. One highlight was someone with very good taste and an appreciation of glass history art purchasing this beauty.

    I won't be at this Saturday's market (you probably can guess why), but I'll be back on Saturday, the 25th.

  23. Something new in both my Etsy shop and Ko-fi shop. I used earth tones on these opaque beads, rolling them on a corrugated metal surface while they were red hot, creating the spiral surface texture. The focal bead is the only transparent bead, made from emerald green glass. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #handmadebeads #glassbeads #artisanglass #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #necklace #handmade #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newmexico #newmexicoartist #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

  24. I've not been posting much of my work, as I've been busy in the studio. Here are some new bracelets I'll have with me tomorrow, Saturday, September 20, at the Farmers & Crafters Market in downtown Las Cruces, 8 AM - 1 PM. And I'll be back at the market again Saturday, October 4 with more new hot glass. #lascruces #lascrucesfarmersmarket #newmexico #newmexicoartist #lascrucesartist #handmade #glass #hotglass

  25. For those of you in New Mexico, I'll be set up in at the Farmers & Crafters Market in Las Cruces, Saturday, September 20 and Saturday, October 4, from 8 AM to 1 PM, with lots of new work. Hope to see you then. #NewMexico #LasCruces #FarmersMarket #SaturdayMarket #Handmade #Glass #HotGlass #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #torchwork #PastPresentArts #ChristofMaupin #beads #jewelry #GlassArt #GlassArtist #StudioGlass #ArtisanGlass

  26. Thank you to all the lovely people who stopped at my tent at Saturday's market in downtown Las Cruces. Here's a little collage with some of the items I sold. I'll be back again next Saturday, September 6. Hope to see you then! #SaturdayMarket #HotGlass #Lampwork #Torchwork #Flamework #Glass #Beads #ArtYouCanWear #StudioArt #StudioGlass #handmade #MastoArt #LasCruces #NewMexico

  27. It's such a relief (and a pleasure!) to be back on the torch again, after an absence of several weeks, while I moved cross country, waited for my glass, tools and equipment to arrive, and organized a new, if temporary, studio space. It seemed fitting to play with some New Mexico colors! #handmade #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glass #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #lampworkjewelry #studioart #studioglass #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist

  28. In spite of everything that's happening globally and domestically, I'm still excited that the better part of my supply of glass rods and canes has finally caught up with me in my new City of Las Cruces, NM. I'm itching to get back on the torch, with lots of new ideas. Stay tuned! #handmade #MastoArt #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #beads #glassbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #art #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #studioart #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascruces

  29. I mentioned in a post last week that I had some big news to share. Here it is: I'm moving to Las Cruces, New Mexico, and will permanently reside there. Las Cruces has a thriving arts scene and art markets, and will allow me to earn good income from my work while in retirement. There may be a pause for a while as I get settled. Until then, enjoy the end of Spring!

  30. Something new in my Ko-fi store: This necklace is 20 inches long. I used transparent red, transparent topaz, and various shades of opaque red and other warm colors of Murano glass, all with added trailing. The focal bead is red and yellow, with gold mica powder, all encased in clear. Here's the link: ko-fi.com/s/61a6da7e15 #handmade #art #artyoucanwear #glass #beads #handmadeglass handmadebeads #lampwork #GlassArt #GlassArtist #torchwork #flamework #necklace #jewelry

  31. 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

  32. Back on the torch again, after a long break imposed on me by circumstances. Experimenting with some new colors and color combinations. Much more coming soon. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #beads #glassbeads #studiolife #GlassStudio #handmade

  33. 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. You can find it here: ko-fi.com/s/1732aeeb9f #handmade #HandmadeArt #handmadejewelry #handmadebeads #handmadeglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #glass #beads #glassbeads #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #artyoucanwear

  34. 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

  35. 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: etsy.com/listing/1794464717/ha #lampwork #torchwork #hotglass #handmade #ArtYouCanWear #glassart #studioglass #MastoArt

  36. 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

  37. 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

  38. 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

  39. 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

  40. 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

  41. 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.

  42. 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

  43. 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

  44. Output from my last couple of days in the studio, just in time for tomorrow: 38th Annual #sheeptoshawl Festival at the Willamette Heritage Center here in Salem. I'll be set up indoors (yay!) and out of any potential rain. My last appearance in Oregon. Hope to see some of you there. Cheers! #HotGlass #buyhandmade #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #buyartfromartists #shoplocal #pnw #salemoregon #handmade #MastoArt
