Thanks for this video 😍😍😘😘

I hope you are completely recovered. I have had post viral ME for 27 years. I was a musician but have never we recovered enough to do that again so now try to learn jewellery making when I feel well enough. I love watching your videos. So useful and lovely to watch when I am stuck in bed dreaming of getting on with making stuff.

[@Mary_brown]

You should use the Larger sea glass pieces to make wind chimes. That would be beautiful.

[@JewelBoxHeaven]

I really enjoyed this, thanks Niki x

[@theseaglasscompany]

From another sea glass lover, well done on the video. Great introduction :)
I started in lockdown too with wire wrapping. ❤️

[@sharongibson7523]

I make windchimes with shells, bigger chunks of seaglass and seapottery.

[@anniepetmik65]

Gorgeous!

[@patredden4557]

[@marskella]

Can I ask what dremel you use please as I’m struggling on which one to buy x

[@jamman6]

Love your jewellery and you're beautiful!

[@texasmarshalls]

Do you sand your sea glass to create shape? If so can you show this? Also do you use regular glass and color it in a tumbler?

[@marshacole3655]

Wondering what you called the necklaces that you use??

[@paulinelittlewood1229]

Please could you tell me what drill you are using, it is difficult to choose one? Thanks for the video

[@kernowcraft]

Hi Pauline, here's our advice page with more information and a link to drill bits: www.kernowcraft.com/jewellery-making-tips/gemstone-setting-advice/how-to-drill-sea-glass-for-jewellery-making

[@ellatravellife]

what are the 2 glues you mix together?

[@kernowcraft]

Hi Ella! It's Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy Glue, available here: www.kernowcraft.com/products/silversmithing-and-tools/all-silversmithing-tools/item/5-minute-epoxy-c20

[@ArtOfDavidAmos]

What happens when eventually the oil is worn off or does that not happen?

[@kernowcraft]

We don't have much experience using oil on sea glass but I imagine it should stay nice and shiny! Definitely worth experimenting with 😊

[@beautifulscarsband]

mini, maxi or oval belcher chains?😊😘

[@kernowcraft]

We believe Niki uses mini! You can find our range of chains here: www.kernowcraft.com/products/chains/all-jewellery-chains-bangles
