Madam, u r converting sea shells which is seemingly useless to layman like me, into jewellery. Its very very creative and one must have required talents with brain to do this. I really appreciate it. Because I am from coastal south India based in Bombay. During my childhood we used to play with that shining sea shells. After watching your video I realised that what can b done with that. Thank u very much.
So nice to listen to someone sharing the clear detail of your steps, what you use and why. I really appreciate your time and effort and the final pieces are just lovely!
Thanks for watching and commenting Rose and glad you enjoyed the video. All the best, Liz
I appreciate that you are explaining the use of different glues. The work is beautiful.
sorry to be so offtopic but does anyone know of a method to get back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I appreciate any tips you can give me.
@Jon Russell instablaster ;)
@Elian Kane i really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and im trying it out atm.
Looks like it's gonna take a while so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Elian Kane it worked and I finally got access to my account again. I am so happy!
Thanks so much you saved my account!
@Jon Russell No problem xD
Your work is very creative and beautiful. And you are a wonderful teacher.
Thanks for watching and commenting JL. Glad you enjoyed the video. All the best, Liz
Thank you for encouraging us to go out there and look for things and learn from you that it doesn't matter if it's too small or broken. Just have fun with it.
You're welcome Diana and thank you for watching. All the best, Liz
Super, thank you! I found a nice shell and am making a necklace, and this really helps!!
I never knew how beautiful a simple shell can be after removing the calcification. They are pretty enough to stand alone, but I really like how you've added bits and bobs to enhance some of them. I came across an old pair of amethyst stud earrings that were my Mom's. They do not look like the same artisan made them! The stones are not the same color intensity and 1 setting is a bit more delicate than the other. I might just have to use them individually how you've used a stud earring on 1 of the pcs you shared near the end of the video. Thanks so much for sharing all of your lovely designs.
You're welcome Michelle and good luck with your project. I'm sure it will turn out beautiful. Thanks again for watching and commenting. Cheers, Liz
Thank you soooooo much... I asked the question on your other lesson about what glue to use... and you answered it for me... I have at least 30-45 oyster shells that I would like to turn into wonderful jewelry pieces.

That peridot and polished garnets cluster is an eye catcher.

Brilliant I always wonder how these kind of more unique jewelry are made. They are incredible using the wonder that are around us.
yack f zay But wait, there's more...... I am having a seashell jewelry making fetish at the moment. :-)
Your full of talents. Continue festish great video.
I love, love, love your channel. I really like what you are doing with the seashells.!
Gorilla Glue just came out with Clear Gorilla glue.. The E6000 takes way to long to dry.
I have an opportunity to set up a workshop soon. Also, along with my Dremel rotary tool, I bought a drill press for it. It can be used like you are doing with the water but the drilling uses less of your strength. I love it. Awesomeness👍
Hey liz
I found your channel recently after I started mine. You have been a great help to me with ideas. I especially love the prospecting video's. Love your vids. Thanks
You're welcome and thanks for watching. Glad to know that my videos have been useful. Good luck with your channel and happy hunting. Cheers, Liz

Thanks for watching Peni. Wishing you all the very best with everything you do. Cheers, Liz
Those are so beautiful !!! You are very creative !!!
Vicki Olson Thanks for commenting Vicki. I'm just fortunate that I have all these materials and tools to work with. Nothing worst than having an idea in your head and have nothing to make it with. Hope you got some ideas from video yourself. Cheers, Liz
Nice design
Great video! I learned a lot. Someone told me to use clear silicon but I think it takes too long to dry.
Those are really beautiful pieces you made wow doll they really are beautiful works of art Loves it xoxo

I use a two pack epoxy resin for projects like these. Thanks for watching and have a Happy New Year. Cheers, Liz
Have you ever tried using resin?
Hi.. thx for the videos; but where can I find the drill plz with everything included plus what glue u used plz? 🙏🏽
I bought all my tools from the hardware store. Glue is E6000. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Where do you get your pearls and gemstones for using with your shells?
I buy the pearls from my local gem store and the gemstones I find and process myself. Thanks for watching.
on the shell that was not as polished as the one you bought with the ball bearing in it, how will you get it as poslished? Your shells all looked like high gloss/sheen

Ersina Lewi Thanks for watching and commenting Ersina. Glad you like them. Cheers, Liz
You Welcome!
At 6:23 you show a shell with scratches. I'ld like to know what you used to polish them away? The finished piece looks beautiful. Thank you!
+seeamerica1 I used a lapidary grinding machine. You can also use a wet & dry sandpaper or a rotary tool to polish the sea shells if you don't have access to a lapidary machine. Thanks for watching. All the best, Liz
Thank you Liz!
How do you polish the shell surface. Where do you acquire your beautiful shell pieces, not the finished jewelry. Your pieces are radiant and very beautiful. I especially like the use of stud earrings as stones.
Dee Beckham Thanks for watching Dee. Please take a look below the video, in the description box for more videos on where i get my seashells and how to cut grind and polish them. Cheers, Liz
I wish I had some place close to pick up shells. I use to live on the MS Gulf Coast before Katrina and had access to shells. Now its such a long drive to get anywhere to get them.
+Monica Sedillo Hi Monica, There are a lot of places that sells sea shells if you can't gather them yourself. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
I have been looking a lot on ebay to see if there are any there that I want. There are a few that look decent. Thanks, Monica
+Monica Sedillo I've had the same problem, used to live by the ocean but no more. I think ebay prices for shells are high.
I have found some shells at Hobby Lobby and Michaels as well but there is not very much variety.
I found some very tiny ones that I thought were so cute I had to get them. I ended up making some seashell bottles with them.
Where do you buy your shells. I would love to start doing handcraft jewelry and decorations. I will really appreciated your help.
Blessings.
I collected these myself.
@@LizKreate wow how lucky you are! Have a wonderful day.
What is this tool called and do the bit attachments come with it if not what are they called ?
I don't know what tool she is using, but a Dremel tool will work very well for the same job. However, if you are going to be using it in water, make sure you get a cordless Dremel. Using corded electric tools in or around water is extremely dangerous and you risk electrocution. Dremel is not very expensive and usually comes with the accessories you see in the video. You can find Dremel very easily online or purchase in places like Walmart, Kmart, Home Depot, etc. Good luck.
@@zickiezickie Thank-you.
Do you only use shells you collect yourself, or do you also buy them from other people? Do you ever do anything with blue Atlantic Muscle shells? If I listed them on eBay, would you buy them? They're black with metallic blue or gold color on the backs.
I only use what I find. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Liz another great video, where did you get the grinding tool and cutting I'm curious.
Hi Marsha, I got the grinder from our local craft store many years ago. Nowadays, there are a lot more rotary grinders available from hardware stores and also online. May I suggest you look into one with a flex shaft attachment. All the best, Liz
Liz Kreate thank you very much I noticed I duplicated a question you are kind.
Hi!! I love your Video and I want to know about the tools you make for these items.... I'm from Thailand and I don't know where is for sale this tools... What is the name for tools set? I will ask in the tools store.... Thanks!
+Mona Yaya Hardware store sells hand rotary tool or the popular brand is called "Dremel." Cheers, Liz
E 6000 has been taken off the market inSouth Africa, we may not import it either, what would you recommend?
Do you know the Bostic Gel?
Bostic works just as well Tania. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Why do you hold the shell and a little of the bit down into the water while u drill the holes ?
+Dida Kingston This prevents the dust from the shell from going airborne. Thanks from watching Dida. Cheers, Liz
Beautiful jewelry Liz. Do you sell your jewelry? Can you please let your viewers know how they can be purchased xx
Sorry Marie but I'm not selling any of my Kreations at the moment. I just can't keep up with making them for my family and friends. Thanks for asking. Cheers, Liz
what is the polish u use on stones?
Depends on the stone Kathy. It can vary from diamond compounds to tin oxide, serum oxide or even just sand paper. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
can you tell me how to polish my crystal quartz points I put them in rust out to remove the rust and it left a gunky white milky film on it that does not wash off can you tell me how to polish them I have a dremel tool
Coleen Taylor Hi Coleen, Sounds to me that there are other minerals on the surface of your quartz and that's the reason for the milky film on it. I'm not an expert on cleaning quartz, so I can't give you any advice. Maybe you can check out the link below on cleaning quartz. All the best, Liz

+Liz Kreate Thanks!
Hi Liz :--) my I ask you what brand of drill are you using ? x
Hi Marina, I have a 3 different types of drill that I use. Two of them are no longer in production and the other is a dremel. May I suggest that if you're wanting to get a rotary drill, just make sure that it has "Variable Speed." Cheers, Liz
Liz Kreate
Please let me know the type of drill you use. I would like to purchase one. Thank you.
I use a a few different brands but may I suggest you research hand held ROTARY TOOLS to find one that suits you. Happy New Year. Cheers, Liz
Why drill in water?
This is to prevent in haling airborne silica which is bad for ones health.
What type of drill do you use? Can someone use any hand drill?
+JoiIsakYT I use a small rotary tool like dremel. Hand drills can be a bit heavy. Thanks for watching. Cheers, Liz
Thank you
Does it work for other rocks or just shells?
+JoiIsakYT It also works for all stones. Cheers, Liz
