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.

[@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

[@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.

[@goanna2012]

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

[@MrsLisaCrow]

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

[@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!

[@Admiral_Lynx89]

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

[@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. 😊

[@ElizabethGallegos-w9g]

Hola que lindos cristales haces con piedra alumbre gracias ❤

[@sallyannmartin2748]

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

[@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!👍🏽

[@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

[@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?

[@beverlytinsley-minniefield2434]

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

[@ikeameltdown8012]

You have so much fun.😊❤

[@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

[@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 .

[@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.

[@sp560]

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

[@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]

🤯

[@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. 🥰

[@laurastoneking6278]

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

[@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!!!

[@fairyspunfibers9098]

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

[@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 😍!!!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@mimiholton]

Beautiful. 😁

[@radar2ana]

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

[@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

[@99hilux6]

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

[@paulastrong7571]

That is so cool!

[@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 👏👍😊

[@frontoffice9077]

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

[@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

[@WhatsNextAmy]

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

[@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.❤

[@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

[@adalavin8648]

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

[@laurahill4857]

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

[@APOKreations]

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

[@lunytune3374]

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

[@tanjasart]

Wow, you did it. Amazing results. Beautiful ❤

[@deannwilson3553]

Julie,this was interesting. Loved the video😊

[@CynthiaPrice79]

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

[@sharonag6767]

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

[@StephanieMcCamon]

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

[@spiritsoulbody352]

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

[@geraldinedunkley8420]

O wow just beautiful ❤

[@kymmcmaster6715]

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

[@kelleythomason8642]

Your nails look fabulous!!

[@maddieadams75]

Really pretty shape. Thanks for sharing this tutorial ❤

[@Embracetherandom]

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

[@gailbrown8710]

Very pretty!

[@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.

[@joburrows9210]

Congrats! Beautiful!❤

[@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.

[@vezhopkins714]

wow crystal sea urchin :D 👌

[@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? ❤

[@dreamkatcher76]

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

[@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 .

[@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.

[@katefranz9328]

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

[@dia-ghielnaschwartz-dc9ct]

Absolutely amazing

[@janerexroad2498]

Very cool!

[@sandyeubanks4972]

So very very cool ❤❤

[@BoredWifesProductions]

Very cool!❤❤🎉

[@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?

[@lynnkaufman9006]

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

[@dorianesalem8076]

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

[@Nat-lb5gq]

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

[@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

[@dawnrosch8861]

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

[@Pinkdolphincreations]

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

[@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!

[@ksister4224]

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

[@SenkaBobovcan]

Take my breath 😮❤🥰🤩👍

[@elaineprovan4500]

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

[@evelynnplyman9637]

Looks like a waterlily

[@joette4677]

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

[@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

[@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?

[@TYANTOWERS]

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

[@2degucitas]

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

[@jwheeler9991]

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

[@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.

[@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! ☺️

[@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.

[@krmuller3240]

Can you use these crystals in resin ornaments?

[@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!

[@anniehartley8851]

Cool.❤❤❤

[@cherylburkitt9722]

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

[@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

[@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 ?

[@velvetinapaddler575]

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

[@asilibyanika]

Is deminerialised water essential ?

[@boatsue]

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