You guys did an amazing job reading the poem. Your accents are mesmerizing to this American. Just beautiful!

[@aprildaniels357]

Beautiful, Sad Story. Although I too often wondered why all the Excitement when found. Now I know Thank you!!!

[@rockreader4298]

Thank You Ladies. The music was beautifully and sadly perfect for the story of "Frozen Charlotte". The poem depicted the yearning and naivete' of a young woman, as well as the intense, wonderful, yet heart-wrenching and overwhelming emotions of her Heart (As a well played opera). Your imagination and art yielded a vision of the moroseness, as well as the loveliness. Well Done! More story videos Please? : )

[@marietepper724]

I second that motion

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Maybe if we can think of something :)

[@suziethompson5890]

I just loved you both reading the story of little frozen Charlotte ❤️ Whenever you find her in the wilds, it’s like your saving her, so sweet. Love them in the jars!

[@thomasplouffe1363]

this brought back a old memory, when i was three i found a frozen Charlotte figure in the woods behind my uncles home in Quebec, it fit in my hand it was so small, when my aunt told me the story of the doll i felt so sad that i found my old mitten and placed it in like a sleeping bad after giving it a warm bath

[@georgiaware3248]

How ingenious to take ordinary jars and turn them into extraordinary decorations! Your creativity and imaginations never cease to amaze me! I love the way you always take someone else's rubbish and give it new life to be treasured in a new home.

[@juliet5114]

Thank you for the history of frozen Charlotte! ♡

[@Suziluci65]

Love this craft and would sooo love to be able to purchase a cast of the frozen Charlotte! I might have put a little hot glue on the feet to set her in the bottle first, then later add the resin, but your way looks to have worked quite well. Thank you for this video!! Merry Christmas ladies!!

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

Yes Kate realised that after she had finished haha :)

[@ruthbond1581]

Such a sad story 😭😭😭😭, but so very eloquently read by you both. The snow globes came out beautifully well done

[@NorthernMudlarks]

Love the Frozen Charlotte poem! Apart from our dolls doll (maggot baby), we have never found a complete Charlotte. You are so lucky! The little snow globes are a great idea xx

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I think they may be our favourite things to find. We have 3 complete ones now. Kate found another the other day which I am supremely jealous of haha! I am positive you will find one soon! :) xx

[@tinynina76]

Your voices were so beautiful as you read the poem. I can appreciate the poetry and the history behind Frozen Charlotte. Thank you for this video.

[@juneholbrook9452]

I had a frozen Charolette when I was an antique dealer a few years ago. It was only an inch and a half inches tall made of a ceramic with no paint on her at all. I was so tempted to keep my Charolette but the practical side of me won out so I sold her. I have regretted selling her but never more than when I watched this video.

[@irisadler6342]

Oh and wanted to add I'm so happy to know why you get so excited now as you find her.

[@Danimal525]

Your background music was perfect for the poem and it was mesmerizing listening to you both read it. The jar's and bottles were perfect for the "Charlottes"....Well done!

Such a sad tale but wonderful how they were turned into a sign of good luck and prosperity. Loved the snow globes you made. So precious and beautiful. Wonder what they would look like with a light of some sort put in the top. Well done Ladies. I’m so enjoying your Mudmas and craft videos as much as I love watching and re-watching your videos. Happy Christmas.

What a hauntingly beautiful poem. Made more beautiful because you read it!

Wonderful video! I had never read the poem and yes it it grim. Just like the Victorians to lap it it up lol, they did seem to like anything deathly. The little snow globes are adorable! ⛄❄🎅 x

😢❤, beautifully read poem...

[@robinbarnett1772]

so wonderful, AH the victorian sadness. stories like The little Match girl, Poems like frozen charolette. mourning buttons, all things sadand dark, but everychild knew all about it. I think it helped with the frequencyof dying from unknown things, and disease, and mishap.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

I think you are right about that :)

What a sad poem, but I love the idea ❤️

[@patricialenaburg6553]

I am quite surprised, at 73 years old I have never heard of "The Frozen Charlotte." Imagine my surprise after just seeing a mudlarking video last night, with someone finding a headless Frozen Charlotte In Scotland. At seeing this my curiosity was immediately peaked, I had to learn about this. I woke up earlier than usual, and while scrolling through KZbin came across this video. Laughing to myself I say, "it's meant to be." I am a new subscriber.

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

That really does seem like you were meant to find us! Now I am worried we will not live up to such a auspicious start haha :)

[@patricialenaburg6553]

@@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers No worries, the mudlarkers find was the real thing. I think your will do fine by me, the both of you are refreshing.

I was wondering if the film you were watching was Aquachiggers? I was literally halfway through watching his film when your comment came through, I just watched the end now! That is some strange synchronicity haha :)

I have problems sleeping due to anxiety and neuropathy and listen to meditative sleep stories in order to help me sleep and you Two should definately do this, telling tales and myths of old. You naturally have the balance of soothing and interesting absolutely perfect 👌 I could listen to you read a shopping list and still feel the same! Thank you so much for sharing with us and showing us your amazing snowglobes xxx

[@mastersadvocate]

I love the poem about frozen Charlotte, and you read it very nicely! I've never heard of these tiny dolls coming to Western Canada, where I live. I think they only got shipped to the Eastern part of Canada (Ontario, and Quebec), and the United States, back in the nineteenth century. They look rather cute, but not the sort of doll you could play with.

[@dawnnaylor7064]

Very sad story but beautiful work on your snow globs.

[@WWIIUK]

A fasinateing history. The poem is very forlorn, feeling a trifle sad for the girl in the poem. There was a Victorian to 1930s dump near where I live and on the occasional walk I found a hand full of shippams fish paste jars very similar to those decorated. Unforchinaly they have built New houses on the sight which is very frustrating.

[@petrichor7121]

Lovely, evocative poem ❤, and so beautifully read! Not sure I'd want to have one that's frozen though, it's too sad. I'd probably prefer it on a pendant or some other form of jewelry. Thoroughly enjoyed the video just the same 💞 😊

[@sallysendall2708]

Brill loved what you made keep up the good work

[@allisonbaylis95]

Have not been able to catch up with all your vlogs over the last few weeks, but this one was so beautiful. Frozen Charlotte snow bottles were so artistic and unique. ❤️

[@consideredwhisper]

Lovely! Great idea. Just a suggestion as I work with glass sometimes. If you have a little dink or chipped area, cracks or breakages you can make them safe and smooth with Araldite Crystal epoxy. It’s brilliant stuff, dries totally clear and can work like an invisible glass filler if you get the hang of it. Worth trying. I just ‘rebuilt’ the top of a glass candlestick which had a chip out of it and it now looks perfect. Thanks for the vid X

[@MudlarkingWithKitCaboodlers]

We will definitely look in to that! We have lots of broken glass things! :)
