It’s so sweet to listen to you both. It really makes me smile. In these days it’s so nice to hear and see a little kick back and relax feelings. Love it!😊💐

[@CharityChaotic]

I will never not love your videos, ladies. Thank you for creating a place for us all to come along!

[@monkey93xf]

So macabre. My imaginary collection of your tiny things is growing, or at least the wishlist sure is.

[@Ty_The_Bonsai_Guy]

Lovely story about the doves. My great grandmother was native American and her name was Dove. ❤🕊

[@NorthernMudlarks]

So happy you enjoyed it! It's such a lovely name! xx

[@mazhansen8804]

That's a beautiful name. ❤ TL Freeland

[@2degucitas]

Aww, that's sweet.

[@Aegopodium]

Pretty flower, stripes, pretty birdy, skull... 😂

[@wendysherwood1012]

I just am transfixed by the craft making segments, especially! Thank you for all of your wonderful videos.

[@evie6304]

Just want to thank you for your videos every week...they brighten every gloomy day....but especially this Sunday....I lost my 90 year old Mum rather suddenly and being able to watch your two bright faces and the mother daughter connection made the one bright spot in a very difficult day....Alex cherish all the moments you have with your Mum...they are precious....thank you again, love from Canada!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Totally agree

[@NorthernMudlarks]

So sorry for your loss xx

[@sticklebacksummer]

Totally agree

[@martinemjt]

Amazing, those pipemakers would be quite proud of their work being jewelery. Beautiful!

[@susangarayar9442]

My husband seems to be completely enthralled with LET ME SEE! WHAT ARE THEY UP TO NOW.

[@dianeknott3655]

I agree with your husband! Every video is an adventure! :-)

[@scottishmudlarking]

We can so relate to the happiness when it's sunny enough and you don't have to wear a jacket!! Lovely lark and crafting :) Take care, Nicole & Craig

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Such a distant memory, lol. Thank you! xx

[@Gainn]

First find out of lockdown.. Is a lock.. Some irony right there.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Omg! We hadn't even realised! 😂

[@sticklebacksummer]

Loved the sound of the wind at your window, great atmosphere for sitting by an open fire with a cuppa and tell stories of ancient times. Keep well.

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

my grandfather used clay pipe stems as chalk to indicate his plumblines while doing masonry work so, that pipe stem could have been used on the bridge when it was built. the advantage was chalk washes away in the rain pipe clay lines don't so your lines would be there the next morning rain or shine.

[@simondavies9924]

have introduced the wife to your program she loves the crafting and watching the mudlarking the schwoo,s and the places you visit and asks me lots of questions on certain items you find ? o dear bang goes my peace and quiet to watch and enjoy :-) keep enjoying what you do and stay safe and keep making the amazing programs :-)

[@americaisdead9879]

Wow! I'm 37% Scottish...... I dream everyday of mud larking with you!

[@geoffbabirecki]

Hi girls. I'm surprised that you didn't find more older coins. A friend of mine, who would be over 100 had she lived, used to regularly travel on the train between Doncaster and Edinburgh as a child, and when they went through Berwick-upon-Tweed, all the kids would throw their coins out of the window into the Tweed! (In the 1940s and 50s carriage windows opened) I've no idea why; something to do with Scottish Independence I guess. Thanks again for a very interesting programme.

[@2degucitas]

Fascinating comment.

[@angelrays7]

You two are so freaking talented and I’m in AWE! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Aw wow! Thank you so much! 😁💕

[@bonnieblack3825]

Your creativity and imagination seems boundless. To repurpose clay pipes into beads is brilliant. To take bits and bobs of refuse and reimagine into jewelry , these pieces of the past are given a new lease on life. Thank you for sharing. This was most enjoyable.

[@kristinamitazaki6348]

So beautiful 🤩🥰

[@annmatthews3579]

Love the iridescent glass especially the green bottle neck. The painted pipe pieces, are amazing

[@TiffYG2133]

The little bit of pipe bowl made to look like willow pattern would make a cute refrigerator magnet with like a tiny air plant in it

[@neesr13]

Your theme song as you open is the most beautifully stimulating music! I always get excited to hear it, knowing we are in for a treat. Yippee Skippee!!

[@lindamedaglia2883]

Hi Gail and Alex,Iam wondering if you are going to make more videos ,I HAVE watched all of them.I really enjoy them I get as excited as you do when you find,relics and I love when you make jewelry.Hope to see more .Linda

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thanks so much for watching! We usually bring a new video out every Sunday at 9:00pm BST. One just went out tonight. If you subscribe to our channel and click the bell, you will be notified of new videos xx

[@peggyjenkins5525]

I love them all. I’d love to have one of your jewellery designs.

[@peggyjenkins5525]

They would make perfect gifts for my grown daughters to treasure

[@julierundlett2736]

Hi girls I hope you are happy and healthy I love your beads especially the bone looking ones good job peace Julie

[@pamelaarana1942]

How lovely! This is a great way to honor history and incorporate it into modern times.

[@debbrabossier7284]

I always love your creations but I can truly see the wonderful artists you are having done those miniature paintings.

[@susanpye9821]

Thank you so so so much for taking us with you I could keep saying so so so much I really enjoyed the video it was so nice to see beautiful scenery

[@highroller8875]

the beads turned out lovely...

[@duaalikhan4feb]

What a beautiful day I never seen like this and I love your video very much

[@arlenegariepy8957]

I so wanted to see clay pipe stems turn into beads but the idea to put glaze on them and fire them again wow they turned out great!!!

[@vernareitmeier1347]

Love the howling wind!

[@wenwren]

Clever, you girls! 💚

[@katherinewiseman9707]

'There's such joy in finding marbles, though' - I couldn't agree more. My heart gives a flip when I spot one, especially when I pick it up and wipe away the mud and it's old. Oh, and the beads are just glorious and watching you making them is so relaxing.

[@jerlynneallison6361]

With a little work you could string up an entire skeleton! 💀 That would be cool! Lovely work on the beads, ladies! 🥰

[@NorthernMudlarks]

That would be so cool! Thank you! xx

[@higgybee6509]

The beads are so pretty and creative. Love your talent and imagination

[@shelllee9460]

You two are so talented they are amazing!. I can tell you now one day in the near distant future you two are going to be known world wide!

[@sticklebacksummer]

Totally agree

[@karenabendshien846]

Love the beads! The past stepped up into the future as little treasures! 👏😉

[@christhompson4270]

You ladies never stop amazing me, I love all your stunning beads and jewellery, well done. God bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@margaretgantt9499]

My daughter and I went mudlarking along a river that was drained because the dam was broken had some great hunts until the dam was repaired the foreshore is now under water with all its now hidden finds

[@2degucitas]

Where?

[@brendasimmons9045]

Love your Pipestem beads!

[@karenkaloff6186]

Hello Alex and Gail another adventure at the beach luv all finds 🤗🤗😎

[@howidahassan889]

We are always waiting for your videos,creativity and new ideas ,we love the video music also so much, love you💝

[@jennywalborn7769]

Will you someday be selling some of these lovely handmade things in your etsy shops? Really cool to say the least!😊

[@memitaylor4323]

Ladies, you are incredibly ❣️. You can make anything out of anything! Beautiful Beads, from broken smoking pipes, instead of just leaving them in a box, to do nothing. Just Great💗. Love you, my SuperStars🌟👍🏾

[@anneminnick2491]

Wonderful beads and baubles !

[@fbeaz]

i would love a video on how you display your finds in your house

[@windshifter]

What a pleasure it is to keep learning in your delightful classroom! History, myth, economics from earlier centuries, manufacturing family stories, and art in so many forms! We are filled to the brim with delight in every video! Thank you for taking us along on your journey. =D

[@rodneylynn1354]

Thanks to the Northern Mudlarks, I have purchased a pair of wellies!!! Now, if the weather would just cooperate, I hope to do some proper mudlarking soon!!! May even take a camera along and make a video! Not sure if it's called something else here in the States, but I'm adopting the Mudlark mantle for myself!

[@sallydattoli2143]

I would love to "mudlark" in the states, but we just aren't old enough to find real goods, unless looking for native american artifacts, there just aren't enough centuries behind us yet.

[@sedwards536]

Love them all. My favourite is the head with the bottles on it.

[@margaretlynch1494]

Lovely work! Brava ladies!

[@roxannechristensen9532]

Both of your talent never ends, I loved the pipestem beads, thank you for another great video

[@janahertzberg6485]

You all can sell those as keychains! They are so cool!

[@mistypatton1607]

I'm so happy someone made beads out of these pipe stems. I've suggested it but you're the first I've seen do so. I love love love the skull bead 💀

[@susangarayar9442]

That was so enjoyable. Together you two flourish with imagination. The fragments of story and treasure know no bounds. A beautiful presentation. Thank you

[@shannonkoeller8378]

Love the lark, the beads are lovely, and especially your music with the wind in the background. Well done.

[@michoish9476]

Gorgeous beads/jewellery. You’re both so imaginative and creative - and very, very patient! ❤️

[@defender_of_wonder]

Oh my goodness all the pipe stems turned out beautiful! You both are beautiful and extremely talented and such a pleasure to watch! Your mother daughter relationship raises the bar for others to aspire ! Your channel is one of my favorites! I always watch immediately when notified! Thank you for sharing your beautiful lives! Be safe and healthy 😷Take care!

[@arielarenado]

This makes me so ready for Spring already.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Yes! Us too 🌱

[@filipematias5127]

I hate both the Spring and the Summertime : my allergies worsen and the sunlight hurts my eyes... I am ONLY happy when it rains, I LOVE WHENEVER it is grey, cloudy and stormyweather!

[@michelehood8837]

Me, too!

[@juanitaskelton448]

Very lovely beads...just gorgeous...you both have such great ideas...I think the crackle is wonderful and the video is so pretty to watch. Making the jewelry is a brillant idea....I dont know how you managed all those tiny "blobs"...fascinating, Ladies. I was waiting for your video. I so look forward to seeing all the scenic locations and how you transform the bits and bobs into fine art jewelry...(sigh)...thank you for sharing with us.

[@kathisease9924]

Such beauty from long ago cast offs...simply lovely!

[@michellehalliwell1355]

Wow what a beautiful idea you have had with the pipe stems you are both so talented x

[@SuperAllan1965]

[@elainekayes8087]

[@darrennorth6255]

That smile on your face Alex at the beginning classic its like you have been let out of a cave and saw the day for the first time haha brilliant..

[@mimimitch327]

Yay! Love watching you girls! Awesome as always!

[@howidahassan8393]

Love you guy's you are very creative

[@thecourtlyalchemist]

It is so satisfying watching what is essentially old litter become something beautiful and valuable again. The bones and round bits were brilliantly carved Alex! Even the poor little broken skeleton bloke has such great character. Thanks to both of you for making these stunning videos week after week. I always look forward to a new one, plus revisiting your adventures is like going back for another helping of pure joy.

[@2degucitas]

The history behind these bit and bobs make them more interesting. Like being connected to history.

[@cindylynch4312]

Ah, first poster! Love watching all your adventures!

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Yay! Hope you enjoyed it 😁💕

[@MichaelBrown-dv1pm]

Lovely ideas....xx

[@42apprentice]

I love the knobbly one, but they are all lovely. You both have such patience

[@marshacrom6206]

When you started the crafting part, the wind sounded like a cat in distress. Thank you for another video. I ate my dinner watching it. :)

[@mudlarkingmarionette]

Nice to see the beads ; all stylish ; pity about the skeleton ; that with the bones will be awesome ; ) Roll on the end of March where happy dances by mudlarks will be happening nationwide I hope .

[@NorthernMudlarks]

That you! Looks like the end of April now =( xx

[@mudlarkingmarionette]

@@NorthernMudlarks ; I should have had be vaccine by then bring in the 50 something ( ahem) bracket .

[@kanamichelle7404]

Those are amazing! Every time I thought I had a favorite, another caught my eye.

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Aww! Thank you very much 😁 x

[@planesail1956]

love watching , great imagination wonderfull talent thanks.

[@tinovanderzwanphonocave544]

girls! have you noticed something about the pipe stems?... no?!... well, I knew this for some time when you have smoke-blackened clay pipes you can put them into a kiln and they turn bright white! the memento mori was particularly blackened by smoking and now as white as porcelain!

[@johnsmalldridge6356]

Beautifully painted birds and bands on the pipe bowl. You two are so creative.

[@MsSandraCGL]

I love the Mudpies too, man can they run in that mud, it's unreal

[@NorthernMudlarks]

We really want to try it ourselves now lol xx

[@lfurches]

Lovely! The shades of pink and green you are using in the video at 43:02 are the colors I used for my wedding attendants dresses and the celebration party after the ceremony. I don't know what you call them in the UK but here we say wedding reception. Cheers from North Carolina.

[@coraleeolazabal3837]

Watching you and your mom it saves my mental stress when I'm upset you guys watching you the love the peace the talent is incredible keep it up thank you.

[@garypeterson4483]

i love when the goddess of beauty finds a a new project suo can pour your energy into

[@cathydavis3109]

Your beads are beautiful!⭐️

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Thank you! 💕

[@robinbradach928]

Wow! The level of detail that you put into crafting your art is amazing - from these pipe beads, to your glass beads, to your sea glass jewelry to your Christmas ornaments to your painted jars. I don't think there is anything you couldn't make. Well done!

[@robinbaum-hn2pc]

I think you need to make a nifty Skelton out of your pipe stems and broken pipe bowels. The plain ones that are the throw away types would be perfect… and Halloween is just around the corner!. You are so very fun to watch.I’m in a care center and the utube is my savior from craziness….

[@juliet5114]

Oh that MARVELOUS sunshine ☀️on that day by the river😊🤗!!! What a lovely respite from the chill and snow everyone has been experiencing 🌨️🥶❄️ lately. Really love your "singing" windows 🌬️. Must be so soothing to hear at night...abit of nature's lullaby. You ladies have the steadiest hands when painting 👍🏻🙌🏻. It amazing to watch you two work 😮😯!!! The beads are just marvelous 🥰. And to think their made from pipe stems... AWESOME!!! I hope all your family and friends are remaining healthy and safe 🤞🏻. Thank you both for this inspiring video. Your artistic talent never ceases to amaze and leave us all awestruck. Blessings and ✌🏻. 🙋🏼‍♀️🤗🤭😘.

[@sticklebacksummer]

Totally agree

[@stmull8678]

Wow, you have inspired me. i have a glass sander and used to do way more back when. I need to get busy again with some of my projects!!!

[@patriciapines587]

I ADORE the pipes on the bead!!!! And U had never heard the entire story of the Willow pattern plate, so that was a bonus. PLEASE continue to make beads from pipes (and sell them)- what a lovely way to preserve them!!

[@consideredwhisper]

You come up with some really creative ideas. Thanks for a lovely vid once again.

[@VickieV1333]

You ladies are so talented. I did not expect such gorgeous beads and the fact they are made of centuries old pipe stems...Brilliant!

[@lorrainewhitlock5377]

😍 I love what you did with the clay pipes. You are both very artistic and I enjoy watching you and looking forward to seeing you on Sundays🙋🏼🇺🇸

[@ilonamollema6467]

At the beginning of the video it was almost like you were some cattle running in to the pasture, happy to be out in the fields again after a long lock up in winter. 😁 The beads are gorgeous! Especially the tartan, striped and flowery ones. And that pipe bowl is stunning! You are both so talented!❤

[@christinepearce4364]

I would love to see you make a wind chime with pipe stem, copper nails and sea glass. I bet it would look and sound beautiful.

[@angellabutler6449]

The pipe stem were very awesome. What a good idea. Lucky you two have steady hands. 👏👏

[@nitahuncke5541]

So talented!

[@mrbarbelbarbello2332]

That howling wind sounded so much in tune with the music, it was like some-one whistling along.

[@nitahuncke5541]

I thought that it was someone whistling when I first heard it.

[@kenbritton8227]

I noticed the grinder was also in tune to the music. (33:33)

[@kenbritton8227]

The wind DOES sound like whistling. Hard to tell from which of the two is adding the sound effects 36:55. . . . .( kidding). 💐
