One more post with a few bits 'n bobs before I make the move to Las Cruces, New Mexico. See you again in about 10 days. Until then, visit my Ko-fi shop (copy and paste): https://ko-fi.com/christofmaupin07/shop #glass #GlassArt #glassartist #glassbeads #glassbeadsjewelry #hotglass #handmade #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #lampwork #lampworkglass #torchwork #flamework #StudioGlass #studioartist #ArtYouCanWear #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts #lascruces #newmexico

Turns out today was Global Work From Home Day. Guess I was late to the party. Anyway, I work from home. And here are some images of what I do with some glass and fire. #workfromhomeday #handmade #art #glass #hotglass #studioart #studioglass #artyoucanwear #lampwork #flamework #torchwork #beads #glassbeads #jewelry #design #color #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #athensohio #buyartfromartists

I'm really pleased with this new piece, featuring high density opaque black glass with added mica powder fused to the surfaces, in silver, purple and teal. It's in my Etsy shop: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1828688303/handmade-hot-glass-necklace-in-opaque?click_key=3fc94cad25facac69ec8daa8227623da614a5c34%3A1828688303&click_sum=fcfea578&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #handmade #MastoArt #lampwork #HotGlass #Art #Artist #necklace #artyoucanwear #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

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

Handmade lampwork glass beads in transparent blue, green and dark rose, with added strands of opaque white, in the palm of my hand.

Baking soda can be used to create a texture to glass beads or other glass objects. Far left, the only effect is blending of two colors around the equator of the bead, which retains it's shine. Further right, the blending is more thorough, with a "metallic" surface appearance. Far right, bubbly surface from bursting bubbles, like some cratered distant moon. #Beads #MastoArt #handmade #handmadegass #lampworking #glassart #glassartist #HotGlass #christofmaupin #pastpresentarts #AthensOhio

Something new in my Etsy shop. I used 3 types of blue to make the beads for this piece: both dark and light opaque marbled blue and transparent electric blue. I mixed electric blue and light marbled with blue enamel for the large focal bead. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1772712848/necklace-of-handmade-lampwork-glass?click_key=55625740609dcef2cf651653d867e3634a88f370%3A1772712848&click_sum=35a48eac&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #glass #beads #handmade #HotGlass #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #ArtYouCanWear #ArtGlass #GlassArt #StudioGlass #athensohio #madeinohio #ohioart #ohioartist #GlassBeads #glassbeadsjewelry #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin

It may never be pretty, but it's functional. I'm up and running in my new studio, the old metal-roofed cinder block building on the property. I've run power 150 feet to the structure, cleared it of debris, etc. and am set up with a hot head. Lots of tweaking to get the space up to the condition I'd like, but it'll do for now. #athensohio #ohioartist #ohioart #ohioglass #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Lampwork #torchwork #flamework #artyoucanwear #glassstudio #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

I'm now listed in the Ohio Arts Council's Artists Registry, which includes visual artists, writers, musicians, and more. My profile includes my Bio, a short Artist Statement, Portfolio and links to my social media and other websites. #ohio #ohioartscouncil #artistsregistry #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #art #artists #glass #hotglass #lampwork #handmade #MastoArt

I'm moving! I'll still be creating work in hot glass, offering that work at markets, festivals, etc., and my Etsy shop, but in a different place: Athens, OH, an hour from Columbus and home to Ohio University. You can still find my work on Etsy (link in profile). If you live in central or southeast Ohio, I'll see you soon!. #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #hotglass #lampwork #lampworkglass #ohioartist #ohioart #athensohio #athensohioartist #athensohioart #Ohio #MastoArt #Handmade

In the midst of packing and shipping my life off to Athens, Ohio, I found time to make a proper short video of this lampwork necklace I made a couple of weeks ago.

Despite having sold much of my inventory at recent shows, I have over 40 pieces in my Etsy shop, including this one (Link: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712658082/handmade-lampwork-torchwork-glass-bead?click_key=b16dbe38db634de12c422b2ac48df94eff7f9ee5%3A1712658082&click_sum=c36f94a6&ref=shop_home_active_7&frs=1 ).

Once I get settled in mid-June, I'll be back on my torch.

As I was in a flurry of work on my torch leading up to my final shows in Oregon, I made quite a few pieces I didn't have time to share. This is one: A necklace in various shades of transparent and opaque greens, browns and orange. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1712874928/handmade-lampworktorchwork-glass-bead?click_key=8bd5ee7112d5a0aac0135bf2888f2f770462eabf%3A1712874928&click_sum=0957e7dd&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #HotGlass #MastoArt #Handmade #Lampwork #GlassArt #GlassArtist #Glass #Beads #Jewelry #Necklace #StudioGlass #ArtOfTheDay #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts

After back-to-back very successful shows, just a week apart, my Etsy shop was seriously denuded of product! Luckily, I had made many new pieces just before the shows, and have now uploaded some of them. Here's one, featuring green, blue-green, blue, pink and red enamel powders added to the glass and encased. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1726971139/handmade-lampworktorchwork-glass-bead?click_key=f5bcc0b644e42cc2d0e0b55f4dbc09890a6989ff%3A1726971139&click_sum=16488f13&ref=shop_home_active_6&frs=1 #Handmade #HotGlass #Lampwork #Beads #MastoArt #artyoucanwear #torchwork #GlassArt #GlassArtist #PastPresentArts

Thank you so much to everyone who visited my space at yesterday's 38th Annual Sheep-to-Shawl Festival at the Willamette Heritage Center here in Salem. What a great way to close out my last show in Oregon before relocating! Here are a few of the items I sold to the very engaged and enthusiastic visitors. #HotGlass #GlassArt #GlassArtist #ArtYouCanWear #lampwork #torchwork #flamework #handmade #buyhandmade #shoplocal #shophandmade #pastpresentarts #ChristofMaupin #studioart #studioglass
