Sometimes, when working on a larger piece, I pause for a bit and just make something else, like a random bead, pendant, or sculpture. This is a large, thick pendant bead with a core of fire engine red opaque glass, and marbling in other opaque colors, including teal, orange, grey, beige and yellow. I've mounted it on brass wire, before suspending it from a faux leather cord. #glass #beads #handmade #lampwork #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #glasspendant #studioglass #artyoucanwear #athensohio

"Viol, Violas" teableau for 03/18/25

Someone today was played like a
_stringed instrument_
and might receive a nice _bouquet_
for his efforts.

The Queen Catherine tea is an oblique reference, as is the flower variety.

WIP. One of several. Stay tuned. #glass #glassart #glassartist #glassbeads #hotglass #beads #lampworkbeads #flameworking #toechworking #artyoucanwear #athenscountyohio #handmadeglass #handmadebeads #handmade #pastpresentarts

"Greenery" teableau for 03/12/25

The cup & saucer at center are very old, given to my octogenarian friend in her childhood by a WWI English vet disabled from being gassed in the trenches. My friend, raised in NZ, gave it to me in WA State. It's seen some things.

"Still Winter" teableau for 03/11/25

Tiny tendrils of spring notwithstanding, winter lingers (and I'm okay with that).

"Slow Your Roll" teableau for 03/10/25

March is marching on too quickly.

Hanging Lamp with Floral Decoration
Repoussé brass with cast element and glass.

Josep Puig i Cadafalch
(Mataro, 1867 - Barcelona, 1956)

"Going Medieval" teableau for 03/08/25

Let's not go Medieval, 'kay.

Making them in glass has given me a much bigger appreciation for early route birds. Pidgey is adorable. Which early route Pokemon should I make next?

"Nostalgia" teableau for 03/06/25

I wanted to make a business card holder but I didn't like any of the available molds, so I rigged this one up out of kiln posts. I was worried that they'd get stuck inside the glass, but it worked like a charm! #fusedglass #glass #glassart #glassartist #warmglass #businesscard #handmade #kiln #art #craft #iridescent #blackandwhite

Something very red. Transparent and semi opaque red and orange-red. You can find this in my Ko-fi shop (copy and paste link): https://ko-fi.com/christofmaupin07/shop #lampwork #hotglass #glassart #artyoucanwear #torchwork #glassartist #handmade #glass #beads #necklace #studioglass

"The Pleasant Pheasant" teableau for 03/02/25

I felt like I needed a teableau with a name like an English pub. Or an indie bookstore in California. Or a Panamanian-American jazz drummer's instrumental single.
