Don’t be hard on yourself. As you said, we’re learning together and we appreciate you. 🙂

[@angelanolan2589]

Love your videos. So glad I'm not the only one who jumps around from craft to craft. Like you I get bored.

[@WendyBurtenshaw-yl2hs]

I like the way both of them have grown Julie, they are beautiful. I am really enjoying the Crystal growing series ❤

[@jannymayoh3221]

Hi Julie I just love the crystal tutorials and I'm looking forward to seeing how far you can take it with growing them and I hope that if you get tired of doing them you will come up with different ways of incorporating them into your work . I hope you keep doing them for a while as there's not much around that gives so much information as you do . Keep up the good work you clever girl.

[@mummabearscraftycorner4666]

As the crystal grows the consentrate of chemical deminishes , so if you add at the same level of adp when you started the white could be because of higher consentrate. Most people who grow crystals remove the crytals and then calculate how much has evaporated and only add that amount and then re add the crystal . This might be the reason why it is white as the consentrate is higher at that point

[@MrsLisaCrow]

I love that you go your own way on your channel. Pound pavement. We're here for you. ❤

[@taarchuleta7107]

Julie, I just love watching you. You are delightful as everyone states, but I like how you are not embarrassed to share the learning curve with all of us, no matter what project you are doing. Thank you for sharing. 😊

[@SandraElmquist]

I enjoy your videos so much, not just for your creations but because you sound so happy, bubbly and excited. It's infectious. God bless.

[@TheResinersPourHouse]

I too am enjoying the crystals. I look forward to your videos all the time, hopefully daily. And I don't want to illicit any boos...but I do miss the resin videos. I'm sorry, but I do. A few sprinkled in between would be awesome!

[@goanna2012]

Thanks love your channel 👍❤️🙏 Ann from Cairns 🇦🇺

[@karliechardi2229]

Love seeing crystals grow. I did a little scrolling forward cuz I recognized the beginning as a repost. But hit perfectly where you explained that and moved on! No more scrolling from there lol. I'm starting to feel like I need to try my childhood hobby out again. Attempting crystals from random things instant coffee... Sugar... Salt... Etc. since I know a little more from watching your recent videos.❤ Love how you got the longer crystals this time

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

LOL! I thought I was imagining things (haven't I seen this before?!?). TY for clearing up the mystery! 😅👍💕

[@karliechardi2229]

@@fairyspunfibers9098 lol yeah I had that is dejavu yes or dejavu no moment too lol why I'm glad I kept scrolling till I saw something different. 🙂 So no you were not alone in that

[@Admiral_Lynx89]

Goodness! What a sea urchin that one's grown into. Very impressive piece.

[@beverlytinsley-minniefield2434]

Definitely love the crystal growing videos Julie, it is so awesome to see scientific stuff❤

[@cherylabrams7590]

I am definitely enjoying the crystal videos, love science and had no idea how to even go about starting to do this. Thank you so very much for sharing everything. God blessed julie , you have a great day

[@sallyannmartin2748]

Loved this tutorial, at last someone who properly explains how to do it. Thanks so much xxx

[@radar2ana]

How are your fingers and nails doing after working with those components?

[@domimenkes7042]

More videos with growing crystals please! Hello from Mexico

[@CynthiaPrice79]

And just for the record, I quite liked the white tips; it makes them stand out a bit!

[@nelzmcmillan9237]

Would the crystals take darker colours,like purple?

[@leonepitt8188]

I so love your videos. You are super honest and adventurous. You inspire me to have the courage to give new things a go. I am super keen to try and grow my own crystals .

[@sp560]

I'm loving all your crystal making videos 💎🤩💖

[@laurastoneking6278]

This is so Awesome Julie 🎉 I am enjoying the crystal growing videos. ❤❤🎉🎉

[@Photoshop.Expertise]

I'm a photographer and videographer and believe me I admire your crystals but more! More! More! The patience and professionalism you putted on this video I know how hard it was to make this video step by step no just mins. But weeks and weeks and maybe months that's why KZbin should monetize you BIG TIME awesome crystals but MORE THAN SUPER EXCELLENT VIDEOGRAPHY CONGRATS! KEEP THAT AWESOME AND MARVELOUS JOB!👍🏽

[@joette4677]

Awesome , I can't wait to try this. I did a couple of things with Borax, but this is so much better. I love the fact that you are willing to do the testing for all of us in your beautiful studio. Thank you for all that you do. Give your fur babies a hug from me, I think that I will have some Shih Tzu puppies in a couple of months, I can't wait

[@LostSiren13]

Wow. Very cool. I’ll have grandsons again in April for a week. They’ll love this project. Very cool indeed. As always ❤❤❤ your tutorials. Have been blah with tons of medical tests. Hopefully almost done. 🥰

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

Oh, this is just *GORGEOUS,* Julie! ❤😍 Do it again! Maybe a deeper and bigger container, and...purple colorant? Ooooh, that'd be amazing! 💕😊

[@ElizabethGallegos-w9g]

Hola que lindos cristales haces con piedra alumbre gracias ❤

[@ethanchoo]

I think you mean acid rather than acidic. Alum is technically not an acid. However, alum solutions are slightly acidic due to the aluminium ions being able to create an acidic pH environment. What is a bit confusing is that ADP solutions are also acidic. Presumably, adding alum to ADP shifts the equilibrium by adjusting the pH slightly to allow the crystallization of a different compound, perhaps diammonium hydrogen phosphate?

[@paulanichols5961]

🤯

[@ikeameltdown8012]

You have so much fun.😊❤

[@patriciagregorowicz8141]

Very cool! It looks like a sea urchin 🤣. Maybe my son will try this with the kiddos. They’ve done rock candy and it turned out great. Thanks Julie 👏👍😊

[@charlenepallante183]

I can really see this on a small painting! It would make it really different. These are so much more beautiful than I anticipated! Great job!!!

[@barbjalcorn]

I think your explanation of the impurities is pretty much why the tips went white. Now we need to figure out how to make it holographic ha ha. Wouldn’t it look great? I’d love to see a huge one. Much bigger container left for perhaps a month or so. Can’t wait for the next instalment. 🇦🇺❤️

[@diamondrose6721]

THIS IS AWESOME CHICA! Very , very well done YAAAAAY!❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉😊!!!! BEAUTIFUL 😍!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@99hilux6]

You could use old coffee jars most people bin them. And if you cut them down there's another crafty thing to do

[@MaureenAstrid]

Maybe you have like a thrift store kind of thing near you? Here in the Netherlands they always have lots of glass items, and that doesn’t cost much. ❤ thanks for sharing this video, love your enthusiasm always

[@adalavin8648]

Oh Wow! That turned out amazing.Julie! I love this. 💗 Congratulations!.😍 💃💃💃

[@dillonmclittlegee7462]

Topping up the solution would change the new growth because it is not as old as the first solution… maybe?🤔 Just a theory but what an awesome job and results

[@APOKreations]

It looks like a crystal sea urchin. It’s gorgeous ❤

[@Peleski]

Looks amazing. I've only done borax so far which look amazing and I've found you can change the food dye colour and the bath to get mix colours. I just got some ADP today so this is helpful

[@CynthiaPrice79]

I recall watching at least one video you made while this was sitting by doing its thing!

[@WhatsNextAmy]

Great job, Julie! Can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@frontoffice9077]

It's beautiful! It's had a French Manicure on it's tips!

[@laurahill4857]

I love the crystals they are very interesting I never had much luck with growing them

[@SharonCollier-qe5kn]

Hi love your art videos hey are easy to follow and you are funny as well so it makes for easy watching & learning . Have you thought of hanging strands of cotton on a pencil laid across your glass lip , I wonder if crysta,s would grow on your piece,s of cotton ??? UK 🇬🇧 . xxxxxxx .

[@michelehoar8566]

Cute, porcupine crystals ❤. I remember growing a salt crystal when I was at school. I'm sure it had to be suspended on a hair strand in the solution while it was growing.

[@sharonag6767]

Omg, I think you have done fabulous job, it's beautiful , much love, S Wales, UK

[@lunytune3374]

Or even your spray varnish, just carefully tape off or shower cap the tips till dry.

[@deannwilson3553]

Julie,this was interesting. Loved the video😊

[@amysresincorner]

Miss Julie this video is awesome I absolutely loved it. I could never do it I do not have the patience I think. But I very much enjoyed watching you, very pretty . I see what you're saying about the white on the tips but it's still very beautiful.❤

[@tanjasart]

Wow, you did it. Amazing results. Beautiful ❤

[@hayleymariemills]

Julie, maybe you should try leaving the solution in the measuring cup as it cools down so when you pour it to put your seeds in there won't be crystals on the bottom already? That way any crystal growing will be attached to your seed and not on the already growing stuff on the bottom.

[@marilynhansen7881]

I just love watching you grow these crystals & I gotta admit , Julie your excitement is quite contagious! Love it! Very beautiful! Wonder how they would look with color? ❤

[@benjaminsmith2367]

I love the little experiments you have been doing! You're probably right about impurities causing cloudiness. The slower the crystals grow and less disturbance will create clearer crystals as well. Put them in a place that doesn't experience much vibration and has a stable temperature. Using distilled water will make things a bit better. You can also get rid of impurities by recrystallizing. So you let it crystallize, crush up the crystals, and dissolve them again. The more you do this, the fewer impurities there will be. Impurities will be left behind in the solution each time. Make sure to use distilled water for the best results, though.

[@kymmcmaster6715]

Wow what a beautiful crystal. It will be interesting to see what can he done with it.

[@spiritsoulbody352]

This is amazing! Can’t wait to see you use these once you perfect in like a geode piece! So exciting ❤

[@StephanieMcCamon]

In USA, we call then coolers and also ice chests.

[@kelleythomason8642]

Your nails look fabulous!!

[@maddieadams75]

Really pretty shape. Thanks for sharing this tutorial ❤

[@dreamkatcher76]

i found out that you get different crystals depending on the container you use...pretty neat you should try

[@katefranz9328]

Perhaps you could try adding colors to your solution and see what happens. This so fun to watch.❤

[@mimiholton]

Beautiful. 😁

[@kimcuervo2905]

I love how both of them came out. Can you give us the measurements for the ingredients or where to find them? Thank you for doing these experiments.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Awww.. I love your crystals... fascinating to watch.. can colours be added? ❤😊

[@suewarnes9469]

I love it!❤the first one is lovely too! Could you make a mould with the chunky crystal or would it disintegrate? These experiments are fascinating! ☺️

[@paulastrong7571]

That is so cool!

[@SharonCollier-qe5kn]

Have you tried Borax I've seen area people use t for growing crystals on plastic sculls and added food colours they were amazing . UK 🇬🇧 . xxxxxxx

[@joburrows9210]

Congrats! Beautiful!❤

[@Nat-lb5gq]

Could you add a drop of alcohol ink when making the mix for the seeds? They’d look amazing in different colours

[@geraldinedunkley8420]

O wow just beautiful ❤

[@janboll7174]

Could you possibly be able to put a small piece of silicon on the bottom so the crystal won't stick or would that also stick to the bottom of the container?

[@dracodragon5680]

Good Day! Your Channel is really great, i love it. I have a question. Where can i buy these Svarovski Crystals? Thanks in advance. Nice greetings from Germany.

[@elaineprovan4500]

They are beautiful! One suggestion I have is to wear disposable gloves.🤞

[@Embracetherandom]

It’s a girl!!! So beautiful absolutely amazing!

[@dorianesalem8076]

This is my first Crystal creation video. And it looks like magic! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@Pinkdolphincreations]

Can u experiment & see if you can add a mica powder or alcohol ink to change the color?

[@SharonCollier-qe5kn]

I wonder if you could dust the crystals with irredesent powders because the powders are dry so hopefully wouldn't ruin the crystals just a thought UK 🇬🇧 . xxxxxxx

[@lynnkaufman9006]

I think it is beautiful...you are too harsh on yourself...for just beginning, I think you are doing great....

[@anidrake8457]

You said earlier the top of the water was cloudy, if you top it of it will push cloudiness down into the water changing the quality of crystal growth

[@jwheeler9991]

Could you use citric acid to it instead of the alum? Just a thought, it's crystalline and acidic.

[@joette4677]

If you put some sort of dye in the water, do you think they would pick up that color

[@moonlyght5469]

Awesome! I've done borax crystals before, but always wondered if there was a way to make them bigger like this... Is there any way to make them stronger so they can be added to resin or molded?

[@gailbrown8710]

Very pretty!

[@brat8360]

These are so pretty! Do they strengthen after a bit or do they stay fragile? Just wondering if they could be used to make silicone molds for resin!

[@TYANTOWERS]

Can you try putting your setup into a casserole or something which will preserve the temperature for longer.

[@boatsue]

Can we use sugar or salt to make crystals? Seems I remember in science class we did crystals with sugar and salt.

[@vezhopkins714]

wow crystal sea urchin :D 👌

[@Stephanie_Hancock]

That is sooooooo cool. I didn't realize that they were so delicate. Do they eventually get harder? xoxooxoxxoox

[@eveny119]

Maybe I'm just cheap but why not use recycled glass jars? like jam jars with wide mouths. Also, when I'm baking bread, to keep stuff warm while it rises you can place a towel over the jar. There's also insulated fabric if you want a slow cooling. That came out really nice. I bet if you tinted your top up solution with a pink, it would of been gorgeous... unless it would leave a pink dusty film over everything, but it looks like it would only color the tips and give you a 2 tone effect? don't know.

[@rebekahalana]

If you start the crystals in clear solution and then finish them in colored solution would you get a 2 toned crystal? Or even 2 different colored solutions ?

[@dawnrosch8861]

Could you put the bowl on the heat mat for a short time or would it be too hot?

[@ksister4224]

In the states, a lot of seafood shops have those boxes

[@chanelmills7831]

Would be cool to see a time lapse of this growing

[@2degucitas]

Would whirring the ADP in a coffee grinder or processor to a powder help with the dissolving?

[@laurahill4857]

Julie, you can make distilled water by boiling the water for five minutes then cover while cooling. ❤Laura

[@debrajol3585]

I think it requires a smaller empty pan in the center of the pan of water.. and then as the water boils the distilled pure steam/water falls off the inside of the lid into the smaller pan. The videos I saw showed the lid had bumps in it for the water to drop off of. It’s been a while since I have seen that but it’s a bit more than boiling water. Boiling water will kill off germs in so many minutes but the minerals will remain. Might wanna have a look at some chemist videos to make sure I remember that right 🤔❤ Happy Arting!

[@evelynnplyman9637]

Looks like a waterlily

[@dia-ghielnaschwartz-dc9ct]

Absolutely amazing

[@ElizabethGallegos-w9g]

Se puede poner color a la lumbre se vería mas fabuloso en turquesa violeta amarillo ❤❤❤❤❤gracias 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@lalo9917]

Would love to see if this molds well?

[@velvetinapaddler575]

Maybe adding a top up you could sneak in some colour to add effects vs white

[@NewmNetwork]

What can you do with this afterward? How long do they last for?

[@krmuller3240]

Can you use these crystals in resin ornaments?
