While most of my sales come from markets and festivals, I continue selling online, especially through my Ko-fi shop (see link in profile). This piece recently sold to a customer in Kansas. The tropical fish were fun to make. #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #lampwork #lampworkbeads #flamework #torchwork #studioglass #artglass #artisanglass #artyoucanwear #lascruces #lascrucesnm #newméxico #newmexicoartist #christofmaupin

Another little something simple: opaque green and orange-red beads I made on the torch, along with brass pendants I made by cutting, annealing and stamping the metal.

The only thing that's as much fun as working with some new colors is opening the box! #Lampwork #lampworking #lampworkbeads #lampworkglass #torchwork #flameworking #hotglass #artyoucanwear #effetre #morettiglass #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #handmadeglass #handmadeglassbeads #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #beads #studioglass #artglass #glassart #glassartist

I've used a transparent smoke colored glass to make these beads, along with champagne and white overlaid with dark purple that appears black in all but bright natural light, and some opaque earth tones. I've also used two-part hand held presses, tong presses and a corduroy marver to create the unusual shapes and textures https://www.etsy.com/listing/1791491981/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=66f2724b349e4dadf7b157d80fd4793f83aa187b%3A1791491981&click_sum=287971db&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #lampworking #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #HotGlass #glassart #glassartist #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #athensohio #madeinohio #handmade #MastoArt

If you follow me, you know I don't do special work for holidays. I make what I want to make, not what other people want me to make, and I don't conform to the algorithms. But since I'll be working on some sculptural pieces the next few weeks, I thought I'd do some hearts. The one on the chain will be in my Etsy by week's end. #beads #glass #jewelry #pendant #hearts #heartofglass #hotglass #glassartist #glassart #studioglass #studioart #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #oregon #pnw

I've been finishing as much new work as possible, as it's about to get too cold to work in my studio, at least for a few days. I've used bright colors for this new flamework glass bead necklace. 18 inches on faux leather cord. In my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1640983480/handmade-18-inch-lampwork-torchwork?click_key=8e62adbc1fc262fb25e300cadef9d361e005bf69%3A1640983480&click_sum=331b2000&ref=shop_home_active_2&frs=1 #glass #beads #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #jewelry #necklace #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #studioglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #salemoregon #studiolife #pnw
