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
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
I had taken pics for my archives, thinking I would post this new 18.5 inch necklace later in the week. But it sold immediately at yesterday's Farmers Market. This shade of glass was a bit finicky, but worth the effort. A good day at the market yesterday, starting a bit chilly, but the crowds grew as the day warmed. More new work coming soon. #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampwork #artyoucanwear #farmersmarket #lascruces #newmexico #MastoArt
