In addition to hot glass for our weekly market, I'm making new glass for a big show later this month. Made in the last few days: a necklace with raking designs, another in 3 shades of transparent green, a bracelet in powdered enamel on white opaque glass encased in clear, and some earrings. Watch for more new hot glass in a few days. #glass #beads #hotglass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #handmade #studioglass #necklace #earrings #bracelet #newmexico #lascrucesnm #lascrucesart

Best sign of the day was: Ikea has better cabinets #NoKings #Indivisible #LasCrucesnm

Great turnout for our No Kings III in Las Cruces, NM. At least 3,000 people, the biggest crowd yet. And an overwhelmingly positive response from drivers passing by. Onward. #NoKings #rally #Indivisible #LasCrucesnm

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

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

Something different. This piece is full of strong contrasts, and colors laid over colors: 3 shades of red, plus black and white. 19 inches long. Now in my Ko-fi and Etsy shops. https://ko-fi.com/s/a4011f76f0 #glass #beads #necklace #jewelry #lampwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #studioglass #artglass #lascrucesnm #newmexicoartist #handmade #MastoArt
