Another cool adventure! 👍 Keep up the good work! 💪🏆😎🍀

[@elsajones6325]

All those broken bottle necks I string up as sun catchers from porch eaves or garden

[@elsajones6325]

The aqua sea glass is especially nice

[@drunkdunc8738]

The origin of sea glass," A bottle nosed dolphin walks into a bar......" 😲🍻

[@kristymcnett5746]

I eagerly await Sundays just for my 3 favorite mudlarking channels of which you are one! Keep keeping us entertained 😉 😘❣

[@DJWESG1]

Asks the barman for a pint of sand.. The barman asks 'what's a pint'? To which the dolphin replies ..'you melt.... Entire place went up.

[@debbielb2325]

Oh all that sea glass! Si - you should bag up some of that glass and sell it for us land lovers without access to a fab beach. I was droolin lol

[@Sifinds]

i may do that. Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@deniseflower1461]

Beautiful little lucky black cat! What a find. Was meant for you 👍❤👍

[@explosivesilliness]

I am a year late to this video, but I just wanted to appreciate how creative you are!

[@rameyzamora1018]

Simon - All you had to do was run your fingers through the sea glass & I began to drool. Then the first time you said "bottle shard" I thought I heard "bull shark" & that was exciting too. For a hot minute. Your craft skills are evolving beautifully, I must say! This is one of your best vids.

[@Sifinds]

Ah thanks Ramey! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@phillippa.ashley3096]

I remember having a couple of those blue eyebaths in the bathroom cabinet when I was a little girl. I am now 74yrs old.

[@Sifinds]

Awesome! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@micah06v8]

The ceramic container at 3:20 is probably a pallet. Watercolor paints used to come in little individual containers like that. Northern Mudlarks have had quite a few of them on their videos.

[@katalinas9264]

I love the idea of wearing something upcycled from history. Very cool. 🤙

[@cdd4248]

I would be in heaven...all those china bits and sea glass would make a lovely mosiac! Beautiful Quiet Beach!

[@Beth_D]

Si + seaglass + hidden treasure... I've gone weak at the knees. I'm going for a little lie down. See you Sunday ❤️

[@christinefox9075]

Sea glass is my fav finds on the beach. Red, yellow, orange are the most rare.

[@kellylutey7506]

Hey there! Just a helpful tip- when stringing beads try dipping string ends in candle wax or hot glue. While it’s warm, roll between your fingers to create a point. It’s really helpful for me! Cheers!

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Kelly! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@janicescragg2388]

Thanks for the tip. Another thing that helps is a Crazy glue. It is thinner and dries super fast. I had done this before but had forgotten about it thanks for the memory jog. I needed this the other day.💗

[@mirkatu3249]

First thing I thought when I saw the little black kitty was, "It's Nelson!" 😻

[@Sifinds]

lol. Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@helenburke9507]

Certainly a place for Nicola to visit !!! Can’t wait to see your finds!! Yahoooooo

[@elsajones6325]

Omg, I've never seen so much sea glass all together! An enlarged close up photo would make a great art piece.....get a bucket!!!! Get a bucket!!!!!!

[@vivsalittlebitcrafty4854]

Whoo Hooo can't wait 🤗

[@pattiefitzpatrick2075]

The little white ceramic box is an old paint box. The Northern Mudlarks love them and use them when they do their tiny artwork pieces.

[@lorilalama6114]

Simon, the sea glass is beautiful! You can make a mosaic top of a table with these pieces, or a sign, and I am sure you can use your creativity to design so many possibilities. I would go back and collect as many as you can. Don't miss this opportunity!

[@Sifinds]

Good idea 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@droolingfangirl]

If you’re setting it in resin or epoxy, the clear glass will vanish.

[@bwca12]

Oi

[@cateeadens5545]

I would have brought home buckets and pored over them for weeks.

[@louisecon1664]

Hi Simon. I love the sea glass. I would have filled a bag with so much glass for crafting. You're so lucky you live where there is so much to find. Thank you for taking us with you.

[@teriyarber7451]

Please please please invite Northern mudlarks she gets so excited every time she finds a bead oh my goodness please invite them both and I'll be looking forward to the video I love all you medlar cuz you're all so awesome

[@seashoremudlark3916]

Tiny magical bits and pieces everywhere! So nice. I think Nicola found the same black cat 🐈‍⬛ in one of her videos. Luv it!

[@jujulionesselsa1416]

Hi Si ...That was a real treasure Island....And the beautiful beads all different colours...perfection. And I also love the shards of pottery and glass and not forgetting the bottles...And you bring everything back to life after they have been lost for many years...And the icing on the cake the ornamental Nelson....I absolutely love Cats. Thank you so much Si ...Your channel is my absolute favourite. 🐈🐈‍⬛ I absolutely love the bracelet..You see straight away the potential of what you can make of what you find.

[@adriannenash9852]

Hi Si, your beads and doll parts finds would make mudlarkers Kit and Caboodlers green with envy! Gorgeous finds; I prefer the sea glass to be as frosty as possible as that means it has been in the water the longest. Dark purple is my favorite 💜

[@grimrot]

That little cat was my favourite find of yours so far! Its so cute!

[@karynbrown7519]

Your so clever Si with your up cycling! Beautiful finds!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@grovestreetboss5519]

Love this channel

[@kettlestar]

It looks like there is a clear bead in the upper center at 14:57! Thank you for your videos, they've been a great combo of soothing and escape over the past 18 months.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@donnat3744]

A wonderful day!!! Thanks! 🇨🇦

[@Adam-Gates-Mudlark]

Fantastic Simon! I love glass to, I don’t like it when it’s too frosted though as I think it looks too scratched up LOL! That’s why I prefer river glass 😉 the blue bottle was perfect for a tea light! Put a cuppa next to that please for the next visitor , thank you 😆 but wow the Beads and pipe stem look awesome put together! ⚓️👍⚓️

[@Sifinds]

Thanks Adam!

[@Adam-Gates-Mudlark]

@@Sifinds welcome 👍⚓️ found any more anchors yet 🤣😂

[@dancer1539]

All those gorgeous beads. They would look fantastic on antique lace bobbins.

[@conitorres9774]

Wow, what a lovely collection of sea glass. You can fill a bag then divide into smaller bags and sell them. Awesome piece, the dark blue and green. The little bottle is shaped like a dress. Ladies product? Your Thames piece bracelet is lovely, as is the cobalt blue piece. Lots of treasures in that area. Wonderful place to spend morning at.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@vikypixie5489]

Oh my, that mini Nelly! and when Nelly met with his totem🤩✨

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Wow so many beads! I`m not sure if anyone has said but your little black cat is a Czech glass charm. Yours was for luck! I have one my grandmother carried around in her purse for years. They sometimes came on cards with good luck written on them. Stunning find! :) :)

[@Sifinds]

Ah thanks guys!! Let’s hope it bring me some luck in the muck 😃👍🏻🐾🧡

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

@@Sifinds Honestly you could not make it up but Kate found the exact same cat today! It is crazy! Mudlarking is just too weird sometimes!!!!! :)

[@Sifinds]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers No way!? From bottle beach?

[@judylutz1702]

Thought I had to wait until morning! I’m smiling. Yep, I was right. Only a preview. I do have to wait. Rats. 🤨 Times up! It’s time to watch! Lol

[@Sifinds]

Thanks for watching!

[@lois4329]

Wow, nice compilation. Will be there for the premiere 🤩

[@kpax2066]

The Northern Mudlarks would lose their minds with all those beads and sea glass and doll parts!

[@Sifinds]

Haha right! love 'em

[@padraicodomhnall2760]

Yes, I was thinking that too! 😁

[@vivienanderson603]

I seriously didn’t realise that seaglass was broken glass worn down over the years in the sea. I m amazed how smooth the pieces are. No idea how so much was in the one piece of beach!? Beautiful.

[@Sifinds]

Amazing right! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@KerrisStories]

A week ago, I didn't know that mudlarking existed, but KZbin started feeding me your videos after a couple of months of me watching Time Team videos. I SO want to do this now. I would be picking up all the pottery and china pieces. I love that stuff! Now to figure out where in the Mid-Atlantic I could do this. Thanks for the inspiration!

[@ggbarton614]

I, too, had never heard of mud-larking until a few weeks back. I'm hooked, and I think that I've always had a mud-larking heart. Now I'm watching 4 channels !! 😉 I would have collections of sea glass, sponge ware, marbles, bottles... oh me, oh my!

[@gaynor3976]

The Northern Mudlarks would have loved the beads and Manchester Mudlarks the handles of cups etc and dolls legs/arms. Loved all that seaglass.Great finds and love the bracelet you made xxx

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Gaynor! 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@carlabraenne3469]

The box is a paint holder. Northern Mudlarkers taught me that.

[@craftylittlerthings]

The collar studs were for attaching paper collars to a collarless shirt. I remember my parents using them. It was so they always had a nice clean collar because they didn't have lot of shirts, maybe had two so one in the wash the other to wear. Hugs x Ann x

[@bonnerdebbie]

I would love to spend an hour picking up that sea glass and adore the paint pan, now I will watch the rest of the video ;) The orange bead with the white core may be a special one, ask the Caboodlers. Awesome bracelet your creativity always impresses me. Thanks Si for another great video.

[@kimmathis694]

I love how the bracelet and votive holder turned out! This was my first video of yours I’ve ever seen and it was interesting ❤

[@FindsByPirjo]

I though about a mold when I saw the paint cup. Nelson was very pleased to get a great looking cat from your hunting tour on that sea glass beach. This night I will dream of sea glass pieces. Your bracelet is very pretty. Have a great 2. Advent Simon!

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Pirjo! 👍🏻🐾🧡

Absolutely amazing Si, loved "Nelson " and the beautiful amber bottle, and your craftiness is awesome a man after my own heart, I love craft work, it's nice to think outside the box. And I hope Nic knows about the sea glass for her fish. Smashing outing.🇨🇦🍁🐘🤗🧡

At 22:46 I was exclaiming...WAIT! down at the bottom of my screen!!! A matching light blue bead to the one in your hand!!! Noooooooooo!!!! WAIT!!! Lol. Love to watch your videos and would give my eye teeth for a handful of itty bitty finds!

[@Sifinds]

lol. Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@carolb.4837]

Without going to the end of the episode I can tell you that the tiny porcelain box is for a watercolour paint . It’s from a very old pallet box. I have some for my watercolours but unfortunately they are plastic. Functional but not very exciting. I can only imagine the lovely colour your find held. Kind regards…………..and now to watch the rest of your , as usual, entertaining video.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡and yes you are correct!

[@Dawghome]

@Carol B...thanks for explaining as I couldn't find his answer..👍 I must say I liked his bracelet!

[@joanhuffman2166]

Yay Nelson, without you it wouldn't be a proper Mudlark.

[@Sifinds]

Cheers Mudlover! 👍🏻👣🧡

[@britneybecker563]

I too had a black cat named Nelly! (Not Nelson, it was a gal cat) but sadly she passed a few years back. Best cat I ever had! Love love black cats! Your Nelly is adorable!

Mate, just had to pause the vid to say that tea looks brewed to perfection 😃

[@elizabethscruggs1622]

The white tiny box is a paint pot and there would have been many of them for different paints. Love the seaglass. Its beautiful in glass jars or bottles. Those beads would be nice in a container too but cant wait to see what you make and WOW so many gorgeous beads and love the button too. And the bracelet is gorgeous Si. Such a creative mind.

Love the blue "dish". or "candle holder". Love to have that on my nightstand to rest my pipe in.

[@susanfarley1332]

There something about the light shining through blue glass. I think that is one of the reason I enjoyed lampworking glass beads. Glass and light together is a lovely combo.

[@Sifinds]

Agreed 👍🏻🐾🧡

[@SmallWonda]

What a great little beach - so many yummy bits of broken, sea-worn glass, pottery & amazing beads - nice FINDS! I'm sure Nicola would love some of those pottery shards - although you could make cute resin coasters or pictures... Mobiles, maybe... Cheers!

[@nancymcdade3909]

I love the sea glass! It would make a beautiful mosaic or stained glass piece.
