Announcement
Lampwork glass beads~ fish pendants, bottle necklaces, masks, art beads, historical glass bead whorls with spindles and handmade artisan jewelry from Laurie Ament at Isinglass Design (glassbead shop on etsy) can all be found here! Welcome to my special place for original one of a kind flamework glass and felted wonders. Felted purses, scarves and bowls are all handmade using the wet felting process.
Shipping~ I offer free domestic U.S. shipping on orders over $76. For more than one item, shipping cost is determined by the item with the highest shipping price, with no additional fees for additional items.
Each of my lampwork glass beads is individually handcrafted over an open torch flame, using the centuries-old flameworking process. These can be purchased as ready to wear jewelry or used in your own jewelry designs. The beads are each made by me in my home studio. Lampwork glass beads from Isinglass Design are always properly kiln annealed and well cleaned.
Each piece of felt is individually made using U.S. grown and/or dyed wool. I strive to support my local sheep herders and fiber lovers whenever possible!

5 out of 5 starsThis spindle is so beautiful and it spins wonderfully and the weight id very nice. The glass whorl was exactly like the picture. I am an experienced spinner with some pretty high standards, and I couldn't have asked for anything better. I will be purchasing more from this shop in the future. Thank you, fellow Arkansan.

5 out of 5 starsLaurie did a fantastic job creating a custom bead coloured to match my wheel (black with lime trim) in her sea jelly shape. I did have to rebend the wire because I didn’t realise that daedalus wheels can’t accommodate a straight hook, but that was an easy fix. I use this hook all the time now and the bead shape offers the perfect grip to help manoeuvre the singles through the wheel parts.

5 out of 5 starsThis spindle whorl is absolutely stunning, expertly made, and a work of art. Love the beautiful urchin shape, the purple background, and the lavender and teal bobbles! The whorl is well balanced and spins fine fiber like a dream. The item matched the description and exceeded my expectations. Laurie also sent a beautiful handmade glass stitch marker with my order, which was a lovely surprise. Shipped quickly.

5 out of 5 starsThe whorl is even more beautiful in person and has a fast and sustained spin making it a very versatile spinner. Laurie’s customer service has been top notch from the beginning as she quickly responded to all of my messages and answered any and all questions I had for her. I look forward to buying again.

5 out of 5 starsExcellent! I have several of Laurie’s whorls and they spin cotton like no body’s business. I have RA in my hands, however, Laurie’s whorls and spindle shafts make spinning a breeze.

Owner, Head (Only!) Bead Maker
I'm a lampwork glass bead maker and felter. All of the beads in my shop are handmade by me over a small torch using glass made mostly in Italy. Glass is what I do, and at times seems to be who I am as well- it may be all you need to know about me!
