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

We have a blazing (pun intended because the air is full of smoke from fires) heatwave here in the PNW, so this little piece seems appropriate. I used Murano striking red, striking orange and opaque red, a few slices of Millefiori cane, and my own custom frit mix of reds, pinks and purples. #pnwheatwave #heatwave2023 #hotglass #thatshot #🔥 #lampwork #torchwork #redglass #muranoglass #effetre #glassbeads #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #pnw #madeinoregon #salemoregon

This is all about red! Murano glass with added frit and threads of clear, white and yellow: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1371197261/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=bcd31153a361739c9d5eac98d9ac665695e2f638%3A1371197261&click_sum=fe86dd0f&ref=shop_home_active_5&frs=1 #glass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #MastoArt #Lampworking #HotGlass #RedGlass #MuranoGlass #Etsy #oregon #pacificnorthwest
