This 18 inch necklace is another new piece that I won't put in my online shops (yet), as I expect it to sell at one of the Saturday markets before Christmas. Simple and elegant, I used a pale amethyst colored glass to make the beads, coating them in a gold tinted mica powder. It makes them look a bit like exotic pearls. #glass #beads #handmade #art #lampwork #flamework #hotglass #necklace #jewelry #artyoucanwear #lascruces #newmexico #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #mastoArt

A new 17.25 inch necklace I won't be adding to my online shops, as I expect it to sell at one of the Saturday markets remaining before Christmas. A little tribute to Fall, with gold colored mica powder fused in the flame to the leaf impressed beads. If you're in southern New Mexico, find me on Main Street these Saturdays: November 29, December 6, December 13 or December 20. #glass #handmade #beads #art #lampwork #newmexico #farmersmarket #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #mastoArt

I had some fun with this 19.5 inch necklace, using all sorts of colors and surface decoration techniques in both opaque and transparent glass. It's in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops now (links in profile). #glass #beads #jewelry #necklace #handmade #art #lampwork #artyoucanwear #artisanglass #studioglass #hotglass #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newmexico #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #MastoArt

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

Just now coming out of a 10-day heat wave here in #lascruces and I'm sure the temps influenced my color scheme for this 18-inch necklace. It's in my Ko-fi shop (copy and paste: https://ko-fi.com/s/2c49f2c4fe ) and my Etsy shop. #hotglass #lampwork #handmade #MastoArt #jewelry #necklace #ArtYouCanWear #LasCruces #NewMexico #studioglass #studioart #artisanglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts

After a struggle with my new tent, I had a nice time (despite the heat) at my first Las Cruces Farmers & Crafters Market this past Saturday. I've included pics of a couple of personal favorite pieces that I sold to people who really appreciated handmade artisan glass. I'll be at this Market again Saturday, August 30. #handmade #glass #lampwork #artglass #glassartist #studioglass #LasCruces #NewMexico #HotGlass #ArtYouCanWear #PastPresentArts #ChristofMaupin #NewMexicoArt #MastoArt

I've added this new piece to my Ko-fi and Etsy shops (link in profile). I used a bright white opaque glass to make the beads before rolling them while red hot in a mix of colored frit, including black, red, purple, blue, yellow, green, and beige. 19.5 inches long, toggle closure. #handmade #MastoArt #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #glassbeads #hotglass #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #lascruces #newmexico Link: https://ko-fi.com/s/9c63924d10

One more post with a few bits 'n bobs before I make the move to Las Cruces, New Mexico. See you again in about 10 days.

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
