No matter what my day holds, you both bring me such lightness and joy! Thank you so much for taking the time to search beautiful beaches and use your skill with jewelry techniques to bring us these videos. Such a labor of love from you both. Thank you, thank you, thank you. They are beautiful!
Same here !
I love relaxing and watching a mud larking episode. Thank you for sharing your finds with us. 💜
Isn't amazing that God gives us such beauty in the simplest things like small stones from a beach, well done ladies, superb work.
Yes Isnt He wonderful? I’ve thought about this quite a bit lately since I was diagnosed with breast cancer last year. I was afraid but then I realized, there is a place prepared for me in Heaven. Eternal life that was bought and paid for by Jesus. How much I am loved and I’ve done nothing to earn it. I’m not going to lie and say I am completely fine with dying but that’s just the human side of me wanting to stay here on earth. I’m sure I will look back and think how peaceful and simple it is to just let go.
Beatrix even I dont know you I feel you I think when you look back you will find the disease that had passed and you soon become well enough to go beachcomping and mudlarking I wish you the best and get well soon and come to greece where I come from to swim and live many many sunny days happy
@@beatrixjones2982 prayers For You 🙏🕊️ ❤️
Sending prayers to you hun!!
Just finished with Tom Burleigh's latest vid and yippee! Northern Mudlarkers drop a new one! Life is good!
Wow that ring turned out great
Gail you do a great job on your designer jewelry.
SUCH REWARDING PERSISTANCE
FOCUSED BEAUTY ....MMMMMMM.
UTTERLY BEAUTIFUL 😍
Gail its fascinating watching you make jewellery and that ring is stunning. And Alex you did realy well to make that bead your poor fingers must be so sore so well done you. What a lovley day you had there.
That necklace is beyond awesome!!!!!
First of all, I LOVE carnelian. It is one of my absolute favorite stones. So gorgeous! And I'm so jealous you can just go down to the beach and find them on the ground all over the place!! Second of all, not ONLY do you mine your own gemstones, not ONLY do you polish your own gemstones, not ONLY do you hand create exquisite pieces of jewelry to showcase them, and not ONLY do you make videos about them, but you ALSO train your own bees to act on command!!! CUE THE BEE!!! That was PERFECT!!!!
Amazing work & very nice afternoon beach walk with you - Thanks
Bravo, Bravo beautiful ring and bead, excellent work ladies
Beautiful finds , beautiful work, lovely jewellery from lovely women,!
very nice - trip to beach and finding your own little stones and making a ring - all looking great !!!
your mom is very talented jewelry maker that ring is gorgeous
I’m holding down my couch in Lacey, Washington State and yet able to enjoy your many finds in Scotland - what a treat! Thank you 🙏
Wish we had old stuff.
I'm in Tri-Cities, Washington & I love to imagine I could find any of these items here.
J. K. Rector, Same here in Nor Cali. It's so nice to have their vids to look forward to.
@@AnxiousKoala Petrified-agatized-opalized- wood, Yakima and Columbia River agates, fossils, artifacts (9000 year old Kennewick man was not alone)....
@@ras2084 I've been learning about lots of these things recently (haven't lived here long) and you are correct, he wasn't alone. Thanks for reminding me of the awesome stuff around me though, sometimes I forget to look where I am. :)
I have a new appreciation for handmade jewelry and the effort that is put into it.
Such beautiful stones! What amazing treasure. I love the ring.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
Septarian is that rock with the veins. The Native Americans call them lightening stones
Wrong location for it to be that
Its actually quartz in rhyolite
I found some near Seaton Sluice (NE England) and it looks more like Septarian from Google images than Rhyolite.
It is septarian Rock. I found some just north from this location and had it identified by a geologist in Edinburgh.
Reminds me of kintsugi
Stunning -artistry of jewelry and photography! Alex your bead is beautiful -but yes, proper tools would help; still the outcome is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for bringing so much beauty to all of us.
Beautiful ring & bead. Love the history behind the stones.
Beautiful Beach Combing!😍
Thanking you both for taking us along as you gathered your stones/gems on the beach it was lovely!! Another beautiful ring Gail as we’ve become to expect! You’re very talented!! I look forward to your next video! 👍🇦🇺🌻💕
Alex * your photography captured a lot of emotional feelings, especially the tide sneaking a round and about the sand, almost as if it were quietly crawling in on tiny fingers, like a Sea star would move about.
The Orange and the yellow and white would make such a pretty necklace.
The ring turned out so pretty. I thought you would lay the stone flat. But I love the way you set it!
It catches the light so beautifully!
Your work is exquisite. My goodness it is gorgeous. My word it's fantastic.
The ring is beautiful, Gail!
Amazing beautiful jewels! Wow, so many 😳 you're so lucky to go to these great places. I am lucky that I get to share in your travels. Thanks so much 🙏
Such beautiful souls Thankyou for sharing your passion. Of history., knowledge, historical finds and recreative of past crafts. You are a joy to watch. Thankyou again.
Hello girls. What an amazing day you had. I really love your videos. Watching you Gail making your jewelry is a long process you are amazing. The time you put in to each piece and love. You are both so talented 💖. I wait anxiously for new weekly video. Thank you for all your hard work. Take care and stay safe.
Thank you so much! xx
You are both gifted with beautiful souls. Thank you.x
Aw, thank you! xx
The ring beautiful, what a great job! Great video, thank you.
I enjoyed watching the process of turning the glass into an ornament. You give me so many ideas. Thank you.
WOW! Beautiful gem stones! Nice job polishing and making the ring Gail! I just love it! TFS Hugs!
Alex * Can't wait to see what you're making with the bead. Nice workmanship on the bead.
That shot with the ring and bead together in the moss was absolutely breathtaking! A lot of work but, wow, they are gorgeous. Love your videos, thanks for sharing
That bead is so beautiful Alex! The apple hasn't fallen far from the tree has it, you are both so talented! x
Wow ! Incredible finds ! They’re absolutely stunning ! Well done girls 👍💝
That ring is so beautiful, you both have so much talent. Thank you for you videos. I really enjoy watching
The ring and the bead are so very nice
A very nice ring , and bead both done in old ways.
Oh the sea natures rock tumbler!
Love the pretty little stones y'all found!
A rock hound here, I just love Carnelian. I rejoice every time I have found them in the rivers of Oregon and Washington. I love agates as well, my favorite. The oranges and reds are my favs. I love every piece of jewelry you make Gail. This ring turned out so pretty. There are silicon and rubber finger guard thimble thingy's you could protect your fingers with whilst filing and sanding. Thanks for sharing!-C-
You can't feel with those things on your fingers, me and Gail are to old to teach us a new trick
Christina Simpson, I live on the border of Washington & Oregon, are there really Carnelians around here? I find agates but usually nothing as brilliant as they found in the video.
Tara Hansen yes, you can find them in most of the coastal streams and beaches here in Washington and in Oregon. It’s just a matter of looking. I was camping earlier this year and was able to find lots of them along the beaches in Long Beach and Westport, Wa, and in Warrenton, Or.
Lovely, just amazingly lovely.
😊 beautiful creatives of the jewelry. Feel hooked up to nature to bring memories. 🙂
Absolutely gorgeous! Thank you for sharing!
The ring is beautiful lovely vid many thanks
Alex says they're beautiful and they are going to look really juicy when they get wet. I had just been thinking how much they looked like butterscotch, caramel, orange, honey and lemon drops.
As always, Superb craftsmanship from you both! Cornelian is one of my very favorite stones. The Shwoos gave their stamp/nibble of approval. : ) You have Blessed my day. Thank you both and your tuxedo purr purr.
Wow,thinking the same thing !!! They all look so yummy !!! Lolol 🥰😇👍
@@muffintuffler, Sure do ! : )
More great crafting ladies very enjoyable 👍👍👌👌👌😄xx
Another absolutely lovely lovely video. So beautifully well done. Thank you for the moment of peace.
Wow! Lots of gorgeous gemstones there. We would visit back there often. Lovely video.
That ring is stunning!
I prefer jewelry that is imperfect. Anyone can have cracker jack box jewelry made by machines. The human touch means so much more. Beautiful job ladies. I love them!
Another fun video, so fun watching you find your treasures. Gail the jewelry you make is so beautiful, this ring is so pretty. Alex good job on your bead, and I love the garnet imbedded in silver ring you wore at the beach, I watched you make that ring and I love it. I could watch for hours making jewelry. One day I hope to own one your pieces.
Beautiful video, such fun finding all that treasure. Awesome job on the ring Gail and the bead Alex. Thank you so much for sharing.
The beautiful ring and beautiful beed will make a nice set ....Maybe simple drop necklace.
Beautiful bobbles! Loved the ring.
Lovely storytelling from start to finish. The pair of you are a wonderful & hardworking team, bringing lots of joy to your faithful subscribers. Thank you.
I would love to go to the beach anytime I wanted to
You both find beautiful stones and the jewellery you make is really beautiful it just really shows what you can find on the beach
Yay you did it, nice bead and always the ring
What an incredibly beautiful and atmospheric ring and a lovely bead!
I hope you can get some lapidary tools soon.❤❤
Have you ever considered getting a rock tumbler (rock polishing machine)? They will make any kind of stone have a high mirror shine. When I was little, my family & I would go to the beach & collect agates too. My dad would then run them through the tumbler & we made a few bit of jewelry, but we never took the time to file them down or put bead holes in them. You would love a rock tumbler, they are amazing. Nice work on the ring & bead! They're so pretty.
Well done guys, I think the ring is stunning and well done on the bead too it’s awesome 😍😍😍😍👏👏👏👏🥰🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🇦🇺
Gorgeous
They look like chunks of peaches 😊, the ring is stunning.
Oh yummy! Thank you so much! xx
Spittal beach is one of my favourite places. I was taken there on day trips when I was wee. I was there just over a week ago, first visit since before lockdown. Tide was almost in though. I found a few agates. I think there was something on the notice board on the path near the chimney about the vaned stones. I found out the chimney was part of a huge fertiliser factory. The chimney is all that's left now. Watch out for dolphins near the lighthouse next time you are there. And diving gannets. You got some great finds there. Another super vid, cheers.
What a lovely ring
Great to see you back in Northumberland. The gems you found were like little drops from the Sun that fell to Earth and hardened. Again enchanted by your artistry
Beautifully perfect in its imperfections.
Thank you, Gail, for showing us all the steps in your process.
Mom did a great job on the ring and you did are fanstastic job on the bead. Much thanks for the effort you put into the video. I completely enjoyed it.
Love your videos ladies ! Great job on the ring Gail - your so talented !
You two are simply amazing, no fluff, just fact. I so enjoy watching you find your treasures, and then to be privileged to watch you turn them into art. Thank you so much for sharing with us.
Such lovely nuggets from nature. I love carnelians & you found so many!
Wow, really nice, the bead, wow
Amazing finds! I recently received an amazing treasure in the mail: the most lovely hag stone! It was beyond generous of you to send it to me, and I appreciate it so much! I’m going to have to make a necklace or bracelet worthy of it, possibly with leather. Again, thank you, ladies. This is a great episode, too
Beautiful jewellery and bead, and a wonderful video as always! The video editing on this one was particularly lovely, with those gorgeous shots of the cats, garden, and the transitions!
Thank you so much Annabel! Alex is becoming very good at editing 💕
Wow wow wow my cousin lives in Thrumster so I literally just texted him to see if he had ever been to Spittal Beach as what a gorgeous beach - he always collecting me unusual rocks because of their bandings.
Thank you for once again an entertaining & informative video - and I love love love the ring with gold bezel & your ancient looking bead - rock tumbling machines can be small & inexpensive - I was lucky enough to get my polishing machine from my day - you guys make me smile & as I am stuck in hospital that’s what I need - so thank you 🙏🏻
Beautiful as ever Gail.
omg that ring is lovely!
Yes I know this was from 8 months ago but I came across it and could not resist watching it again, rock crazy as I am. Oh to be able to be with you when you visit this beach. A pipe dream of mine. I love watching your videos and I love your music. Stay safe.❤
Good to see Barbie and she has her Mudlark outfit still on! LOL Love your videos.
Oh my goodness, my hands ache for you. The ring and bead are both gorgeous but the amount of work that you put in to perfecting them is amazing. I really admire your talent as well as your patience in making such beautiful pieces. Now I have to go get a snack because the agates look like caramel and the rock with the quartz veins reminded me of a cinnamon bun! Watching Gail make the ring was very relaxing as well although I am sure it was just the opposite for her!
It can be relaxing if I'm not doing it last minute - which I usually am! lol xx
6:38 I once thought I found such a stone, but I held it up to the light and it was... half a dried out gummybear... lovely colour though!
Haha! Oh no 😂
I love the ring! Great job! The 2 of you are so talented, thank you for shareing
wow that ring is beautiful x
So enjoy your calming videos
So much to like in this video - the beautiful stones, Blu talking for the first time, another cat (who is the black and white cat?) and the beautiful jewellery you both made at the end. Not to mention the music and the stunning shots where you hold the jewels up to the sun!
WOW these are precious! Reminds me of barley sugar or Thorntons toffee!! That ring is just gorgeous!
Just beautiful. Your bead is truly amazing. Well done ladies.
That big chunk of carnelian looks like a sugar dusted piece of Turkish delight 🥰
The schwoos approve! Lovely stones...I love the banding on the bead you made. It’s a treasure!
Such a beautiful ring! You do such great work 😊
Wow! Incredible finds!
Such a great video.☮️🇨🇦Also, I loved seeing your cats, more precious then gems.❤️ Gail you make such beautiful things. I wear your six silvers bands with pride everyday.
Aw, thank you so much! I'm so happy you like them! xx
Woah this beach is so cool!! I hope you guys go back often! So many cool treasures 😍
Very interesting I just love the finished ring & bead xxx 🇮🇲
That's a beautiful ring, love the hammered finish
You two are really talented people
