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

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

These are new pieces that I probably won't put in my online shops, as they are likely to sell quickly at the Saturday Market. The first piece is loosely inspired by SW jewelry featuring red coral and turquoise, but of course entirely in opaque glass. The second incorporates blue enamel on white opaque glass, marbled blue, and transparent blue. #glass #beads #jewelry #art #artyoucanwear #handmade #lampwork #NewMexico #lascrucesnm #pastpresentarts #necklaces #farmersmarket #hotglass #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'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

What a week! Out on the streets for protests & vigils 3 times this week, but I did get some work done. Every bracelet I had sold at the final markets of "25, so I'm making more. Here are a couple of new examples, one bright, the other geological. Glass handmade on the torch. Posting some on Ko-fi next week. #glass #HotGlass #lampworking #glassbeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbracelet #bracelets #newmexicoart #pastpresentart #lascrucesnm #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

Finally, one more piece that sold so quickly I didn't have time to share (I'll stop here, lest I become tedious). Another bracelet, in marbled opaque black glass and opaque pastel white. #glass #beads #bracelet #jewelry #handmade #lampwork #hotglass #glassartist #newmexicoart #lascrucesnm #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

I made so many pieces during November and December that sold immediately, either online or at the Saturday market, and never had a chance to share them. Here's one, a simple bracelet. #bracelet #hotglass #lampwork #beads #flamework #jewelry #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
