Yesterday our Saturday market became a Sunday mini-market, as Saturday was the Veteran's Day parade. Just 3 blocks long, instead of our usual 6. It was chilly, but with glorious sunshine. When a customer is deciding whether to buy a piece, I suggest they take it into the sunshine. That usually clinches the sale. It's the magic of glass. #glass #HotGlass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #handmadeglass #artisanglass #studioglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #newmexico #lascruces #sunshine

A fusion of worlds: I've used New Mexico colors (turquoise, yellow, red) to make beads that would have been typical of the Roman Empire in the 3rd-4th Centuries. Trailing of light colors over dark, eyes on the beads, the barrel shapes, very typical. So a fusion of two very different times/places. In my Etsy and Ko-fi shops (links in profile). #glass #hotglass #handmadeglass #lampwork #beads #artyoucanwear #flamework #glassart #glassartist #lascruces #newmexico #studioglass #handmade #MastoArt

Making blue things lately, perhaps because the weather is cooling (at least by southern New Mexico standards). I used transparent cobalt blue and emerald green glass to make the beads. With a few concessions to modernity, this is a copy of an ancient Roman glass bead necklace of the 2nd or early 3rd Century. It's long, at 21 inches.

Another good market this past Saturday. One highlight was someone with very good taste and an appreciation of glass history art purchasing this beauty.

I won't be at this Saturday's market (you probably can guess why), but I'll be back on Saturday, the 25th.

This isn't in my online shops, as it was really just a color combination experiment. I'll offer it at my next market. A base of opaque lightly marbled cream, overlaid with raked bands of deep dark red, straw yellow, and very light green. #glass #hotglass #lampworking #flameworking #glassart #glassartist #lascruces #newmexico #handmade #art #MastoArt

Something new in both my Etsy shop and Ko-fi shop. I used earth tones on these opaque beads, rolling them on a corrugated metal surface while they were red hot, creating the spiral surface texture. The focal bead is the only transparent bead, made from emerald green glass. #glass #hotglass #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #handmadebeads #glassbeads #artisanglass #glassart #glassartist #studioglass #necklace #handmade #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newmexico #newmexicoartist #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

Something new in my Ko-fi shop. I've used two different decorative techniques while making these beads, one dating to the 17th Century AD, the other dating to the 13th Century BC. They seem to go well together.
