I love when youtube pushes something delightfully niche to me like this. I don't know why, but I love watching people be super passionate and excited about things I know nothing about!

[@melme33]

You should totally make miniatures for dollhouses and dioramas with your amazing talents, like that mini cup!

[@amywright2243]

My granny lived through the Great Depression. They turned broken things into something new, and called it a "make-do.". A stuffed ball of velvet on top of your candlestick would be a beautiful hat pin holder or pin cushion! ❤️ from Kentucky

[@trishplanck9776]

The joy you both find in your mud larking adventures is so contagious. I can’t tell you how many times I have sat watching your videos and find myself saying “wow” or “that’s beautiful”. Then to watch you turn what others consider trash into beautiful treasures is amazing. I also love your background music.🥰☺️ Thank you for sharing with us.🙏☺️

[@traceyanne777]

So happy that you took the green man home with you. Beautiful treasures.

[@suewilson1801]

I dearly love that you take trash, even small broken glass pieces and make treasures with them. Astounding bead work. I worked as an Education coordinator for a major fabric and craft retailer in the USA for over 10 years. We had a teacher doing bead making, glass blowing in a store in California until the insurance folks found out. No fire safe place in the classroom. I am sure you have precautions in your home you can tell viewers about.

[@cmmc3400]

The swirl is universal and a perfect representation of everything being connected. From the snail to the galaxies, the swirl gives us a link to our ancestry all the way back to when the first cells of life on this planet came into existence.

[@micahperkins7509]

The bead drop at the end!!!! It should be the new “mike drop”!! So lovely!

[@chriscallaway6993]

Lovely beads. And headless figures. Keep up the good work.

[@Merylstreep1949]

The bead making part was amazing! You two are just awesome 👌💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜👌👌👌👌

Sunday is mudlarking day on KZbin!!!!

[@Magdalena76h]

I had a very "Mudlarking rich day" too!

[@micah06v8]

Since you guys are so interested in glasswork I thought you might like to know that the Corning Museum of Glass here in the United States has a KZbin channel where they post demonstrations every week. I thought you guys might like it. They go into great detail explaining how they do the different techniques being demonstrated in the videos; and they have master glass blowers from all over the world that come and do guests demonstrations.

[@jodivandyk3649]

I've watched some of their videos. They are amazing!

[@meepenjaap7999]

I've been there it is very cool. Isn't there a Steuben museum there as well? Cornell is a great university too.

[@rockreader4298]

Micah, I didn't know this. Is it in Corning California? I live in Nor Cal. : )

[@angelamillard6418]

I was there yesterday! It's amazing!

I adore the green man, he will make an amazing pendant that I will be utterly jealous of

[@sarahstrong7174]

I can see you have really mastered the art of making those lovely beads. Thankyou for showing us.

[@dawnschoenrock2653]

I love all your glassworks; beads, hat pins and your mini bottles

[@pattimessenger6214]

I hit the like button immediately when the video starts because I know I am going to ❤️ love it! You ladies never disappoint! The beads, hat pins and tiny bottles are precious! Thank you for sharing!

[@grannylyn757]

My favorite thing this week? That gorgeous little teacup Alex found,,,,,I absolutely love it!

[@snarkycard]

I like Alex's Smurf hat pin!

[@LeapingLeapords]

Absolutely love all the beads, little small bottles, and hat pins they are just fantastic

[@ruththomas7164]

Making the beads absolutely fascinated me- 😎🇺🇸

[@zennbeejones9526]

I love the idea of turning broken forgotten bits into something beautiful.very well done.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you very much! X

[@tommy69693]

Totally agree

[@morningdewgarden7432]

@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado Sooo do I!

[@DMC8707]

You can make glass teacup or whatever doll house. Those people would love buy your creatives of teacup or any glass for doll house. 😊

[@danagerberi1786]

Love the historical anecdotes!

[@kathlucy603]

I loved watching you both create your beautiful new treasures from old bits.

[@juliegale3863]

I have to say I love your choice of background music. You have come a long way in bead making since the video of first attempts, well done.

[@georgeinangelo6291]

Thank you Gail and Alex for taking us along . Always a joy to see the treasures.

[@suzique5827]

That baby teacup is sweet. I love tiny dishes.

[@dianegreen5980]

You two are an absolute delight. I so enjoy larking with you and observing your finds and artistry!

[@heidiavera5071]

So many beautiful things to see. A tea cup 🍵 for your Mudlarking Barbie so sweet! You could take that and make it into a matching plate. I loved the teeth on her head aaarg! I know it was a previous video every time I see I laugh. I wonder if that beautiful rose 🌹 would fit a ponds container.Beautiful crafts

[@kentuckylady2990]

Glue the spouts to a board if you have strong glue, you can hang things like scarves from them. Longer tea spouts will hold kitchen towels.

[@michelehood8837]

That is a terrific idea!

[@meganblewitt2076]

i was just going to comment this! ive seen it done with railroad spikes and thought of it immediately. great suggestion!!

[@VampcatVvvvV]

Great idea! I was thinking the spout looked like a table leg. Collect several and make a tiny table.

[@Allisonloosemore]

Ohh YEAhhhhhhh 🤓

[@gnarbeljo8980]

I had the same thought but like this: A piece of scrapwood for a base, glue a row of these spouts on it with E-6000 glue or the like, then small shards of porcelaine and pottery all around the base, and lastly a bit of grout for a beautiful mosaic Mudlark teatowel hanger! They’s also be lovely for a little garden mosaic fountain with water coming out the spouts.

[@DMC8707]

Oh yes, beautiful and cool idea to make that broken glass turn into beads glass. Awesome! 😊

[@brendawilliams7836]

So that is how you make beads out of glass! I had no idea! The beads turned out just beautiful!

[@dright1817]

Your smiles are wonderful, keep smiling!!! Good job again

[@tinaharbit1806]

Love how you two made the glass shards into beads and tiny bottles! Love the hat pins

[@lisapeters4394]

I am astounded by the brilliant artistry the two of you possess!! Never in my life have I've seen people make bottles and beads. Ohmy! I also love your relationship to each other. That agate cup was the find of the day! Tea sports would make cute kitchen drawer pulls..keep up the amazing work!

Awesome finds, Gail and Alex! And, your beadwork, hatpins, and bottles are beautiful!

[@cmmc3400]

As an artist, if I was told I could only make one design choice for the rest of my life, it would be the swirl. It represents the winding clock we race to or settle in for. The swirl can be mathematically perfect such as the inside of a Nautilus shell.

[@joyfreeman9962]

Absolutely beautiful! Love the pieces you made.

[@tonywild3588]

Such a great day and lots of finds. I like the bottles you find and they come up so clear and in lovely colours. Those little glass beads and bottles, the both of you made are beautiful, You are getting it down to a fine art now. Thank you, enjoy your week.

[@susangosling6122]

P.s. maybe you could sell bags of beads for people to make their own jewellery? XX

[@moladhdodhia164]

Your videos are so well done,I'm amazed at your skills in repurposing items, I Love what is created and what is rescued,the music is beautiful too, thank you, loved watching every bit of it.

You should turn that teapot spout into a deconstructed fountain along with a broken teapot or teacup. That would be very cool!😁

Herring wiffees working with the silver darlings ( that's what they called the herring in the oldee days ) were held in great respect by the men folk who got on the same buses going to and from work .( also rumours of the ladies being greatly feared as well owing to the hard work and robustness of the women .).

[@danafredrickson42]

i love the green yellow and blue swirled beads and the bottles were so cool!!!

Those mini bottles would be loverly for a dolls house.

If you have a lot of tiny bottles you could use them as pawns for your chessboard. Also the fireman head could be for the King.

Oh to spend an afternoon with you both, mudlarking and crafting would be wonderful and I’m sure many of your subscribers think the same way! Keeping us all entertained, even though we can be half way round the world. I have only been east as far as Gullane and Tantallon Castle. Next time we need to make it to Seaham. Thanks again
