I am a Celtic harper/singer turned fused glass artist who creates distinctive, somewhat high-end, one-of-a-kind jewelry under the professional name "HarpSinger®".
For the past 5 years, I have been learning how to fuse glass and, by now, have developed considerable skill. I love using my kiln in my home studio to fuse regular and dichroic glass as the first step toward creating exciting jewelry. The colors shimmer and change before your very eyes -- so much fun. When fused at 1500 degrees or more, glass has its own "mind" and outcomes are always surprises. I rent time/space/equipment at a local glass studio for sandblasting and/or editing my pieces with grinders and other specialized tools. Per piece, the entire process can take 8 - 12 hours, especially when each is annealed for strength and durability. Jewelry made this way is stunningly beautiful, durable and of heirloom quality.
