Another necklace is this coral red and dark turquoise blue combination that I find very satisfying. The central pendant is a mix of colors I've used to resemble stones that can be found in the environment here in southern New Mexico. This necklace is 21 inches long (!), and is available in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. #glass #beads #handmade #necklace #jewelry #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artisanglass #newmexico #lascrucesnm #MastoArt

Transparent amethyst colored glass and two shades of transparent blue glass. I've added frit in mixed colors to the dark blue while it was white-hot. I'll be at the Saturday market, as usual, this week, but will be taking Saturday, the 28th off for our local No Kings III event. #glass #beads #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #artyoucanwear #handmade #blue #amethyst #necklace #jewelry #studioglass #artisanglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist #farmersmarket #nokings

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

If you've followed my work for some time, you know I enjoy using decorative glass techniques popular in the ancient Mediterranean world Here I've used trailing that I've tooled into "raked" or feathered patterns. I never tire of this technique, as the results are always different. Here's a link to it in my shop: https://ko-fi.com/s/2d669ee4be #glass #beads #hotglass #lampwork #flamework #studioglass #artyoucanwear #handmade #jewelry #necklace #lascrucesnm #newmexicoart #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArt

Something different. This piece is full of strong contrasts, and colors laid over colors: 3 shades of red, plus black and white. 19 inches long. Now in my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. https://ko-fi.com/s/a4011f76f0 #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #lampwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist #handmade #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

Just a little pendant in cobalt blue transparent glass with a bit of shimmer. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #pendant #glasspendant #glassart #glassartist #newmexico #lascruces #studioart #studioglass #artisanglass #handmadeglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #MastoArt

I've been making heart shaped glass pendants in various shades of red, and with various types of surface decoration. These won"t be in my online shops but will be at my table at the Farmers Market in Downtown Las Cruces, February 7 & Valentine's Day February 14. If you're in southern New Mexico, I hope you'll drop by. #glass #handmade #hotglass #studioglass #artglass #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascruces #farmersmarket #valentinesday #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #heartofglass #MastoArt

Now that we are in the slightly confusing grey zone between Christmas and New Year, I thought I'd share pieces I didn't have time to film before the holidays. This one is my annual "crazy quilt" necklace, comprised of many shapes, sizes and colors of handmade glass beads left over from other projects. It's in my Ko-fi and Etsy shops (links in profile). #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #flamework #hotglass #artyoucanwear #studioglass #necklace #jewelry #newmexico #lascruces #glassartist

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
