Fun with enamel and glass. I used clear glass for this necklace, rolling it in 3 colors of enamel while white-hot. For the pendant, I used purple and teal on one side, green on the other, against a white enamel background, leaving it in the torch just long enough to create a textured "orange peel" effect. This necklace is in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops. Glass art you can wear, direct from my studio. #glass #beads #lampwork #flamework #HotGlass #studioglass #artisanglass #LasCrucesNM #MastoArt

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

Thanks to some big brass and copper jump rings and roll milled or stamped pieces I made 5 or 6 years ago, I was able to combine metal with lampwork beads. I'll have these at the "Mira! Las Cruces" festival, and bushels more new hot glass.

This necklace evokes some of the colors of the Southwest generally, and New Mexico in particular. Several different colors of opaque glass used here, with a dark turquoise peeking through the earthy red, orange and yellow tones. I made the central pendant resemble a sort of talisman. It's in both my Etsy and Ko-fi shops. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artisanglass #necklace #jewelry #handmadeglass #newmexicoart #lascrucesart #southwest

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

A little something new for spring. 17.5 inch necklace with 2 shades of transparent green with added frit, and opaque green, red and yellow flowers and leaves made with small handheld presses. It's in both my Ko-fi and Etsy shops (links in profile). #lampwork #glass #beads #handmade #torchwork #flamework #Spring #green #artyoucanwear #artisanglass #satudioglass #hotglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoart #newmexicoartist #MastoArt

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

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 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
