Some of you may have already seen Andrea's work as she has been a favorite of many Twilightmoms. I am excited for everyone to get to know Andrea and her amazing jewelry.
Can you give us a brief description of yourself?
I am addicted to glass, and love art. Ever since I took my first glass bead making class eight years ago, I have been fascinated with the art of melting glass. I love to be able to create my ideas into jewelry. Right now I live with my family in Florida and hope to live near the mountains someday.

What made you start creating Twilight items? [/FONT]
[FONT='times new roman', 'new york', times, serif]My two sisters wanted unique Twilight inspired jewelry, at first I didn't know what Twilight was so I just kind of ignored there request. They kept telling me to read the books, but I wouldn't. Until they insisted by putting the book on my bed every night! I finally gave in. After reading I came up with a few ideas for the jewelry I was about to create. I ended up being a vendor at a few Twilight conventions in Florida and Atlanta. [/FONT]

[/FONT]Where do you create your items, describe your studio?
I create my pieces at my home studio which is located in my garage. I have two glass kilns, glass grinders, saws, and a torch. The glass I use usually comes in rods which I try to keep organized by color.


Which did you love more the Twilight books or movies? Definitely the books. I get more out of the books than the movies.
What are your other interests, books, movies, music?
I love spending time with my two little nieces. I enjoy drawing, tap dancing, and a nice cup of tea. I have a wide range of music anything from classical to old school punk and the only country I will listen to is Johnny Cash or Pasty Cline. I always enjoy music with a good electronic beat. Edward Scissor Hands would have to be one of my favorite movies, and I love to watch the plant earth series.
