New in my shop, something with a woodsy, earthy feel. Flameworking enamels (2 shades of pale flesh tone, a mossy green, a chocolate brown, a pale transparent yellow, and a pale blue-grey) sandwhiched between layers of Murano clear, with added combinations of frit: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1485228055/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace?click_key=28a4a804929372d2e0b186b76ff0709ee3d24160%3A1485228055&click_sum=82da8a15&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #hotglass #glassbeads #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #necklace #jewelrydesign #enamel #flamework #torchwork #frit #glassfrit #glassart #glassartist #madeinoregon #salemoregon #christofmaupin

What a great day I had yesterday, teaching this little group of students the basics of lampworking and glass bead making at the amazing Hopewell Hub in Hopewell, OR. Not only were they eager and very focused, they looked super cool in their matching protective eyewear! #glass #glassart #lampworking #flameworking #torchworking #hotglass #students #teaching #pastpresentarts #christofmaupin #oregonart #oregonartists #MastoArt

I rarely put earrings in my Etsy shop, on account of their affordability. But I make great numbers of them for street fairs, festivals, etc. These 2 are new. The hearts I made on a small ❤️ shaped steel mandrel, while for the bronze discs - which I avoided making exactly the same - I made tiny beads of yellow and orange Murano glass. #earrings #handmade #handmadeearrings #handmadejewelry #hotglass #lampworking #lampworkbeads #madeinoregon #salemoregon #christofmaupin #artyoucanwear #MastoArt

This 20 inch necklace is based on cooler colors. I've made each bead with a core of opaque pastel white, rolled that in powdered enamel, encased the vitrified enamel in clear glass, rolled that in frit, allowed that to melt, then wound clear glass over the bead to finish it. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1429760900/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-in?click_key=bf7165eaad5e4b6cc8aab0f27f19853dfb4a21e3%3A1429760900&click_sum=1b6101ff&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glassbeads #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #glassbeadsjewelry #glassbeadnecklace #muranoglass #oregon #salemoregon #oregonart #pacificnorthwest #christofmaupin #pastpresentartscrafts #artyoucanwear

I couldn't resist making another miniature sculpture. This is even smaller, measuring just 1.4 inches tall. The flower can be removed, and the jug worn on a chain. The jug was made on a mandrel, just like a bead, but closed on one end. The flower was made off-mandrel. All Murano glass. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1436412367/handmade-lampwork-blue-topaz-miniature?click_key=d684d0e48f7e648ef2026874d540092f1272100c%3A1436412367&click_sum=c9633274&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #beads #glassminiature #miniaturesculpture #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #hotglass #lampworkglass #lampworking #pacificnorthwest #christofmaupin #salemoregon

I'm notoriously bad about posting pieces made for holidays. Valentine's Day is a good example. Always late for the party. I just prefer to keep on with what I WANT to make, not what everyone wants to see. Bad for business, I know. Well, I made something for Valentine's just in time this year. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1401742047/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-heart?click_key=5aa257fc7a9f2e46e9e4ac14028278ab1904330b%3A1401742047&click_sum=bcc4f5cc&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #glass #beads #handmade #necklace #heart #HeartOfGlass #HeartPendant #jewelry #HotGlass #lampwork #MuranoGlass #Oregon #ChristofMaupin #PastPresentArts #MastoArt

A piece that combines variously colored powdered enamels encased under clear glass with variously colored frit. The results can be somewhat unpredictable, which is part of the fun. It requires some discipline to prevent the enamels from burning / discoloring before they can be encased, and prevent the frit from spreading out and losing color intensity. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1359211144/handmade-lampwork-glass-necklace-of?click_key=21e5d0b78498c89ea0d0ddb8b7c00bd8145f253e%3A1359211144&click_sum=7b87ec17&ref=shop_home_active_29&frs=1 #glass #enamel #frit #HotGlass #lampworking #torch #GlassArt #GlassArtist #oregon #SalemOregon #ChristofMaupin #MastoArt

This video was much too large to upload here, so this is a link to it on my YouTube Channel. This is a night view of Dale Chihuly's glass bridge, leading to the Museum of Glass in Tacoma. Countless Chihuly vessels of all shapes and sizes are backlit on the "ceiling" of the bridge. https://youtu.be/XTkMvRy5Vdc #chihuly #MastoArt #glassblowing #glassbridge #Tacoma #MuseumOfGlass #ChristofMaupin

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.

Video of a big bead I made the other day from dark pink glass with added red enamel powder to darken it further, and added opaque blue glass, chunks of blue frit, and some copper frit for sparkle.
