I'm taking a very short break from the torch, focusing on fused glass. Here's something new. I'll be adding new lampwork glass and fused glass to my shop in a couple of weeks. Until then, busy busy in the studio. #MastoArt #glass #hotglass #fusedglass #glassart #glassartist #fusedglassart #green #handmadeglass #artyoucanwear #oregonglass #salemoregon #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

Made with the upcoming Englewood Forest Festival in mind, this 20-inch necklace features woodsy earth tones in opaque browns, transparent green and topaz, and spacers, crimp beads and closure in gold and coppery colors. Hope to see my local peeps at the Festival, August 12 in Englewood Park, Salem, Oregon. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1519803096/handmade-lampwork-glass-beads-necklace?click_key=4048b0ad7bfc36c2505e778d09b0e4996cc0fd37%3A1519803096&click_sum=92f4defe&ref=shop_home_active_1&pro=1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #handmade #lampwork #muranoglass #madeinoregon #pnw #oregonglass #buyartfromartists #buylocal #englewoodforestfestival

This sweet beauty is sold and on its way shortly to a customer here in Oregon. This beautiful Murano topaz glass goes really well with transparent electric blue, and I'm working on another piece now that will feature those 2 colors. #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #glassbeadnecklace #glassart #glassartist #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #madeinoregon #oregonglass #madeinthepnw #pnwglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #sold

I haven't been posting much lately because I've been in my studio working long hours. Sneak peek at a couple of works in progress. I have a series of pieces to create for a gallery here in Salem (more on that in a few weeks), as well as a long checklist of works for upcoming shows and my Etsy shop. I'll post finished work here as it becomes available. #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkjewelry #beads #glassbeads #oregonglass #salemoregon #christofmaupin #MastoArt

Working on my glass sculpting skills. Use it or lose it, as they say. Here's a tiny mug with a bouquet of flowers. #hotglass #glasssculpture #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #madeinoregon #oregonglass #oregonart #oregonartist #pnwglass #miniatureglass #miniaturesculpture #christofmaupin #salemoregon

You can't go wrong with black and white. A little two-tone bracelet in my Etsy shop. Black and white opaque Murano glass with a decorative pewter toggle. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1504394069/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-bracelet-in?click_key=0e645d37700b679448cfdb00647adbe3882c6ec0%3A1504394069&click_sum=a3927696&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #lampworkjewelry #lampworkbeads #handmadebeads #glassbeads #bracelets #beadedbracelets #torchwork #flamework #twotone #blackandwhite #madeinoregon #salemoregon #pnw #oregonglass #glassart #glassartist #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

Making more hot glass earrings to replenish my stocks, as I sell so many. No two are alike, which may be why they sell so well. These are never in my Etsy shop. You'll need to track me down at a show, fair or festival. I post a schedule on the front page of my Etsy shop (link in profile). #earrings #glassbeads #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #torchwork #handmadebeads #christofmaupin #madeinoregon #oregonglass #pnwartist #oregonartist #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon

I did a little pop-up market on very short notice yesterday in West Salem. Had a great time. Here are some of the goodies I sold... #HotGlass #Enamel #Handmade #glassart #glassartist #salemoregon #pnw #oregonglass #lampworkglass #torchwork #jewelry #handmade #MastoArt

Finally, some real sunlight here in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. Glass is always better in sunlight. Some new bits and bobs. #glass #glassartistsofinstagram #glassart #glassartist #glasspendant #glassjewelry #wilamettevalley #oregon #salemoregon #oregonart #oregonartist #oregonglass #christofmaupin #pastpresentart #sunlight_art #sunlight #hotglass #MastoArt

Murano glass, including more of that nice marbled blue. I've melted half-a-dozen slices of Millefiori cane into the surface. The beads are strung on a silver plated neck wire. In my Etsy shop. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1380665560/handmade-lampwork-glass-beads-on-silver?click_key=0c6549f35ea25d0bb9ef1aede6ad5190c6238c98%3A1380665560&click_sum=c1cec24c&ref=shop_home_active_4&frs=1
