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

It's like a pile of old treasure, dug up from somewhere. The octopus amulet adds a bit of "cursed" to the treasure, too.

I really like the black clay. It just has such a nice shimmer to it. And together with engobes it can get a kind of "old metal"-look which I really like. I want to experiment a bit more and see if I can make it look like rust. Because I just like the look of rust but it's not really something you can make sculptures or jewelry out of because of sharp edges and how it flakes and stuff.

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

The eight lil skull pendants from my last post, but finished with glaze in their eyes! (Together with another one I made earlier, the one with a dark leather cord through it)

Everything in a chocolate tray looks like candy, right?
