Kassie was first attracted to making jewelry twenty years ago as a project for an arts elective in college. Soon after, she discovered seed beads and off loom bead weaving. A former Designer of the Year, her work has been featured in and on the cover of Beadwork Magazine. She is also recognized as a Starman Beads Trend- setter Designer. Kassie’s book Beadweaving Beyond the Basics is now a classic. See more of her prolific work, kits and tutorials at https://beadingbutterfly.com
