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 at Willamette Heritage Center's Sheep to Shawl Festival! Amazing staff and volunteers, smart and engaged visitors / customers, and plenty of fun for all. Here's a small sample of the work I sold yesterday (earrings not shown, as I sold so many pairs!). #willametteheritagecenter #sheeptoshawl #art #buyartfromartists #glass #hotglass #glassart #glassartist #lampwork #lampworkglass #lampworkbeads #lampworkjewelry #salemoregon

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 had been feeling poorly for a few days, with a sinus infection, and couldn't muster the energy to get on my torch. But I did get around to assembling some earrings for upcoming shows. Here are some, a few finished, most awaiting completion. Lots of very small beads I had made, silver and copper ear wires, and a few with textured copper and bronze without glass. I'm much better today. Torch time. #earrings #hotglass #lampwork #beads #jewelry #madeinoregon #MastoArt #glassart #glassartist

I periodically sort through my leftover test beads, extras, experiments, etc., and try to create a "crazy quilt" necklace or bracelet.

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

For anyone in the Salem or Portland areas of Oregon, I'm teaching a 4-hour glass bead making class at the marvelous Hopewell Hub, in Hopewell, OR, just north of Salem. There are still spaces available. And you get to keep most of the materials provided, so you can go home and continue on your own. That's Sunday, April 30 (3 weeks from today).

This is a single large bead I made while thinking of the Venetian scene paintings by JMW Turner, from his late phase in which he approaches not just impressionism before there was such a thing but almost outright abstraction. You can read all about how I arrived at this in the description: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1443198758/handmade-lampwork-pendant-bead-in-murano?click_key=ba7536422c46585b7991809e64caa49d9bb6f1fd%3A1443198758&click_sum=221a2a97&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #MastoArt #glass #beads #lampwork #hotglass #Murano #Venetian #Venice #JMWTurner #Etsy

I must have been thinking of a deep, dark #pacificnorthwest coastal forest when I made this piece. I've enhanced the green glass core with strands of opaque white, dark red, ocean blue and yellow-green, as well as adding copper frit and some other earthy frit mixes, and some clear for depth. https://www.etsy.com/listing/1450116827/handmade-lampwork-glass-bead-necklace-18?click_key=16d092c275dcd8cba72134db08a6f59677408fea%3A1450116827&click_sum=7401ca0d&ref=shop_home_active_1&frs=1 #beads #glass #necklace #jewelry #handmade #hotglass #glassart #glassartist

These won't be in my Etsy shop, but they were fun to make and will be available at my next couple of in-person shows here in Salem -- including this Sunday, April 2, from Noon to 5 at the Salem Convention Center. Simple multicolor lampwork beads combined with stamped and textured bronze discs and copper ear wires.
