Something a little more edgy now in my online shops. Lots of techniques and materials in this necklace. 20.5 inches long, silver foil, mica powder, 3 shades of blue, and more. https://ko-fi.com/s/c692bc81ee #glass #beads #handmade #art #MastoArt #artyouCanWear #necklace #jewelry #HotGlass #lampworking #flameworking #torchworking #NewMexico #NewMexicoArts

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.

Miniature jugs, less than 1 inch that can be strung on cord to wear, with a bit of cotton inside and a drop of favorite essential oil or perfume. Based on examples from the 3rd-5th Centuries CE found across the Mediterranean, their purpose remains unclear: to hold water or soil from a sacred spring or pilgrimage site? Fun to make. I'll have some at the "Mira Las Cruces" festival April 25. #glass #hotglass #lampworking #handmade #ancientglass #arthistory #MastoArt #lascrucesnm #newmexico

This is one little piece of a full necklace I'm making in the Hellenistic style (circa 300 BCE), in dark blue transparent glass, with added "eyes" or dots within dots. Watch for the finished piece in a few days. #glass #beads #lampworking #flameworking #Hot_Glass #Studio_Art #hellenistic

I just want to say "thank you" to all the people who regularly hit "like" or "boost" my posts of my glass art. You know who you are (about 12 to 15 on a very regular basis), and that's too many for my fingers to type, as they are often sore from long studio hours. Thank you 🥰 https://pastpresentartcraft.etsy.com #art #MastoArt #handmade #glass #glassart #lampworking #flameworking #artyoucanwear #studio_artist #newmexico #LasCrucesNM

A new piece in my Ko-fi shop, with a rather geological theme. This was fun to make, with lots of layering and blending of various opaque shades, including marbled black and maroon: https://ko-fi.com/s/9f11441593 #handmade #MastoArt #glass #lampworking #lampworkglass #artyoucanwear #jewelry #necklace #LasCrucesNM #NewMexico #NewMexicoGlass #NewMexicoArtist #geologyinspired #geology #handmadeglass #beads #glassbeads #handmadebeads

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

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

I ran out of stretch bracelets at my last market, and need to make more. I don't want to make something predictable or cutesy. So I'm pleased with these flat beads using Moretti colors: black marble, marbled grey, pink, creamy white, and deep red., all wrapped in a layer of clear. I think the next few bracelets will also involve blended colors. #beads #glass #GlassBeads #lampworking #lampwork #HotGlass #StudioGlass #ArtGlass #ArtisanGlass #ArtYouCanWear #LasCruces #NewMexico #MastoArt #Handmade
