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 glass pendants 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 $35. 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 locally grown and/or dyed wool. I strive to support my local sheep herders and fiber lovers whenever possible!

5 out of 5 starsThe spindle whorl is expertly made, absolutely stunning, and a work of art. Love the red flowers and green leaves! The whorl when placed on a Hershey spindle stick is well balanced, and it 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.

Laurie Ament
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!

To fulfil your order, you must provide me with certain information (which you authorized Etsy to provide to me), such as your name, email address, postal address, payment information, and the details of the product that you’re ordering. For international orders shipped to a post office box, a phone number may also be required. You may also choose to provide me with additional personal information, if you contact me directly.
I rely on a number of legal bases to collect, use, and share your information, including:
As needed to provide my services, such as when I use your information to fulfil your order, to settle disputes, or to provide customer support;
When you have provided your affirmative consent, which you may revoke at any time, such as by signing up for my mailing list;
If necessary to comply with a legal obligation or court order or in connection with a legal claim, such as retaining information about your purchases if required by tax law; and
As necessary for the purpose of my legitimate interests, if those legitimate interests are not overridden by your rights or interests, such as 1) providing and improving my services. I use your information to provide the services you requested and in my legitimate interest to improve my services; and 2) Compliance with the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use. I use your information as necessary to comply with my obligations under the Etsy Seller Policy and Terms of Use.
Information sharing and disclosure:
Information about my customers is important to my business. I share your personal information for very limited reasons and in limited circumstances, as follows:
Etsy. I share information with Etsy as necessary to provide you my services and comply with my obligations under both the Etsy Seller Policy and Etsy Terms of Use.
Service providers. I engage certain trusted third parties to perform functions and provide services to my shop, such as delivery companies. I will share your personal information with these third parties, but only to the extent necessary to perform these services.
Business transfers. If I sell or merge my business, I may disclose your information as part of that transaction, only to the extent permitted by law.
Compliance with laws. I may collect, use, retain, and share your information if I have a good faith belief that it is reasonably necessary to: (a) respond to legal process or to government requests; (b) enforce my agreements, terms and policies; (c) prevent, investigate, and address fraud and other illegal activity, security, or technical issues; or (d) protect the rights, property, and safety of my customers, or others.

In the case of information stored by etsy, you may place a request to have your personal information removed by placing a request to Etsy.com/help
Object. You can object to (i) my processing of some of your information based on my legitimate interests and (ii) receiving marketing messages from me after providing your express consent to receive them. In such cases, I will delete your personal information unless I have compelling and legitimate grounds to continue using that information or if it is needed for legal reasons.
Complain. If you reside in the EU and wish to raise a concern about my use of your information (and without prejudice to any other rights you may have), you have the right to do so with your local data protection authority.
