Thanks to some big brass and copper jump rings and roll milled or stamped pieces I made 5 or 6 years ago, I was able to combine metal with lampwork beads. I'll have these at the "Mira! Las Cruces" festival, and bushels more new hot glass.

Staying sane in the midst of this insanity by staying in the studio. A few new bracelets for the Saturday Farmers & Crafters Market. #farmersmarket #bracelets #handmade #glass #beads #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #hotglass #studioglass #artisanglass #glassbeads #jewelry #artyoucanwear #LasCrucesNM #NewMexicoArts #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts #MastoArt

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

A new piece in my Ko-fi shop, with a rather geological theme. This was fun to make, with lots of layering and blending of various opaque shades, including marbled black and maroon: https://ko-fi.com/s/9f11441593 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #lampworking #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear #jewelry #necklace #LasCrucesNM #NewMexico #NewMexicoGlass #NewMexicoArtist #geologyinspired #geology #handmadeglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads

What a week! Out on the streets for protests & vigils 3 times this week, but I did get some work done. Every bracelet I had sold at the final markets of "25, so I'm making more. Here are a couple of new examples, one bright, the other geological. Glass handmade on the torch. Posting some on Ko-fi next week. #glass #HotGlass #lampworking #glassbeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbracelet #bracelets #newmexicoart #pastpresentart #lascrucesnm #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

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

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

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
