Fused Glass and Glass Jewelry

I am an Oncology Nurse that loves to create on the weekends. After taking a stained glass class several years ago, I was hooked. In 2012 I expanded my glass art adventure by buying a kiln and teaching myself to fuse glass. I make fused glass jewelry (pendants, earrings, and bracelets) using dicroic glass, which is very beautiful and reflective. I also fuse glass pieces and powders together to make artful nature scenes, flower designs, 4-season trees, and other designs. I usually frame the fused art with complementary stained glass colors. These pieces can be hung on a wall, in a window, or on a stand.

Pyrography and Wood-burned Art

My name is Patti. My artist name is Kelpiefire. My art is pyrography and paint. Favorite themes are Halloween, nature and animals. A kelpie is a magical fairy horse and fire speaks to the fire pen I use to draw.
