Seaglass spends years tumbling through the ocean, hitting rocks and smoothing out so I’m glad everything was fine. You just simulated the natural process of making sea blast.
Bro wtf how is there 1.4K likes but no replies? Man like wtf. Anyways I honestly agree, the cracking looks so good with it, because it’s like it’s segmented into the glass in a way.
I'm not a tumbler, so I don't know what they would have liked liked after the suggested 3 days. I wish she would have shown what this batch looked like before tumbling & what a similar batch looked like after the 3 days of tumbling ❤!!!
@@dandy-dani I'm assuming, in this case, it's someone who uses a rock tumbler (machine) to tumble and polish rocks, in the way the video demonstrates tumbling glass.
Reminds me when I would go with my family to Bosnia to visit family. We would drive to Croatia and visit all the beaches. Swimming and collecting seaglass. Good memories 😊
I usually tumble glass for a week - but always have a hard time finding blues and reds for glass tumbling to sea glass looks. I don't thing one needs to tumble for a month. Yours came out beautiful.
Bombay gin uses light blue glass. There are numerous German wines that come in cobalt blue. Check with a local establishment that serves such alcohol for availability of empty bottles. Red glass is another issue. I rarely see red glass in use due to the cost. Would be easier to get scraps of stained glass from a small stained glass shop.
Skøll vodka flavored beer has blue bottles, you might find them. They're a bit expensive but they're pretty good even for me who doesn't like beer. Red is harder to find though, most are amber. Your best bet might be to get stock glass and melt it yourself, or find a somewhat local glassblower that you can buy broken glass/failed pieces off of. (And you might even be able to collab)
Get yourself a case of Bud Light Platinum for the most beautiful blue you can imagine. I got red from a candle I accidentally shattered lol😢😂 Ball also makes red jars.
The purple one looks so much like amethyst, it’s my favorite *edit people are arguing and getting so angry over a RU-vid comment about rocks 😂 I am talking about color *edit I REALIZE THAT IT DOES NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE AMETHYST I JUST LIKE THE COLOR 😭
So I don't want to be the bearer of bad news here. But check your screen or check your eyesight because that's a dark blue. You actually may be color blind
that little rooftop lunch date is literally one of the cutest thing i want to do with someone i like, too. like, it will remain as the beautiful memory forever.
I would look into getting "glass slag" which is just huge chunks of leftover glass from factories that work with mass amounts of glass. And if there is a factory around you, It is much cheaper to ask for slag than trying to buy it online. 😅 I think it would work wonderfully in the tumblers!
@@Here-2-Learn Looking for glass factories that offer tours and demos is a good way to start, they will likely be more open to questions than showing up at a random factory.
@@Here-2-Learn You'd be SHOCKED at how many companies either have tour events, or just general "show up and we will tour you" options. It's how you get into the industry with zero connections. You can even walk to several nuclear power plants in Canada, and they are happy to give you a tour. I've been to Bruce Power Plant, got a really good walk-around. My hometown of St Catherine's had a Ice Cream factory, which you just went to because they had a front counter to sell their ice cream to people who were driving by. Was a huge summer family thing for years.
@@coreymurphy-barrows3360This. I'm from Corning, and I used to take classes and did some work on my own. It's always a good thing to make friends with an artist!
100% that's what's set in the bosses sword (actually in d&d we just fought a dude with a sick ass looking sword made of cold iron, a magic metal that hurts the fey and demons... I'm a fey warlock I wadnt happy to see that sword... and this is almost exactly what I imagined his swords smaller gems looked like (one was a glowing crystal sphere 4 inches across and covered in magic runes... it was very clearly a phylactery and then we found out he revives after he was killed so he was actually a litch... luckily I used a spell to shatter it all into dust lol)
Oh my God, I remember when I had a rock Tumblr and they are the best thing ever! Thank you for reminding me. I definitely want to get another one. I haven’t had one since I was a child. I would for sure do this with the glass. This is so cool! It turned out so awesome!
thank you connor ❤ your video was a timely reminder for me to realise that I’m not confined by the parameters of what society deems as successful and encourages me to chase my dreams with a positive heart.
Awesome video! Just a quick heads-up for the future: be super careful when opening the tumbler, especially when you're tumbling cool materials like quartz or glass. The dust inside is primarily silica, and breathing it in can be very harmful, leading to a serious lung disease called silicosis. This is a big issue for people who work with masonry, cutting concrete, and in industries like stone cutting and quarrying. So, make sure to take precautions to avoid inhaling it and stay safe while having fun with your beautiful rocks!
Same with street sweepers, I don't quite remember what the ppm is as it's been a few years since we had a sniffer out, but it's enough to require a Silica report with our safety plan. While passing one here and there isn't likely to give you diamond lungs, it's best to just roll up your window during the summer months when we're out there really kicking up the dust on the highway or city roads.
@@edep3970 no, dude we’re talking about the dry dust when she first pulls out the container, there is some dry dusty stuff on everything there. That’s the sketch material you gotta stay away from and not breathe in or you’re gonna get messed up. A lot of it is silica dust that causes silicosis. Bad lung disease. Basically humans have problems coughing out that dust once it comes in. Good luck getting it out. It’s similar to asbestos, in that both are inhaled minerals that cause major lung problems for life. Other than that everything‘s pretty safe and cool.
@@jeremyrigter7887 But it's not just broken glass is it. It's the particular bunch of multicoloured broken glass pieces that turned into this result. A before and after would have been good. By your logic, nobody would ever take a photo of a mountain because what's the point, everybody knows what a mountain looks like, right?
In my teenage and young adulthood I used to walk the beaches in New Jersey and pick up sea glass. I met a guy there who did the same thing, he told me that the Red Sea Glass was Very Rare. At the time I was talking to him, I had a couple pieces of Red Sea glass and several more in my Collection.
If you haven't gone check out seabright! It was one of the best day trips I've ever taken for myself. I left with a full gallon zip bag of sea glass from a few hours. It was ridiculous and I still have it all
Ive been collecting beach glass since i was a kid and never found a piece of red, well, not as beach glass but as Road Rubies as i call them. Keep an eye out for sandy patches and curbs in parkinglots, around town or anywhere a fender bender may have left bits of old taillights to be worn down over the decades. My coolest piece is half red and half orange, a nearly perfect split! Edit:you can also find other colors but the most common in my experience is infact red with orange being more like finding blue and ive only found a single piece of clear road glass, the rarities appear to be flipped on land lol but ive still only found about a dozen pieces and they are like half a pinky nail in size compared to the litteral gallons of proper beach/sea glass i collected, i call it beach glass bc most i actually found around Lake Ontario.
That looks exactly like "Sea Glass". I take my kids to the beach to collect sea glass from the ocean's shore line at low tide. We fill clear bottles with it and put them in windows in direct sunlight. Awesome hobby! 👍
What beach or rough area ? Ive always wanted to go sea glass hunting but ive never seen it on a SC coast. Small Shark teeth is bout best ive ever found.
I remember picking up glass like this from the beach as a kid, I always thought it was so cool how the sand and the ocean would make broken glass smooth and frosted look!
The most ironic thing about that story, in the 70s they dumped a bunch of glass on the beach because I guess they didn't know where else to dump it, but then after a year or two it became smooth glass from the tides. Then they turned it into a tourist attraction and got mad at people for taking pieces home. "It's gonna run out and then we won't have a money pit anymore!" It was TRASH to begin with!
This short made me cry 😢...my wife used to tumble glass,she passed away 2 years ago and I have some of her jewelry she made...they come out so beautiful 😥
@@Nae_Ayy I think it might be because the colors and shapes are reminding me of the 90’s and that’s when I was a kid 😅 I used to have to go to the orthodontist for braces and they really made sure to make their office a child friendly environment because they know a lot of kids are scared of the doctor, especially dentists. It made it exciting to go to a fun room rather than a scary, fluorescent office. I always thought it was really cool the things they modified to make kids more comfortable being there. I remember they had some nintendo 64’s in the waiting area plus game boys to play with at your chair. They had fake planets popping through the ceiling so when you’re laying down, you can see the planets with star lights twinkling. It was really nice lol sorry about the long explanation 😅 I feel like these would be a wonderful addition to a children’s cancer center or senior centers, too! Just some fun details in an otherwise gloomy environment. 💛
This is what us who are born and raised on islands call sea glass🌊 it’s magical because it takes such a long journey&process. Interesting to tumble the glass to create a similar look! My great friend and artist spends mornings and sunsets so peacefully strolling, finding treasures that our oceans provide and picking up litter also:) you can make some gorgeous jewelry with your tumbled pieces for sure❤️✌🏼🙌🏽
Wow that’s amazing. Thanks. Nobody knew that until you told us. Especially if we weren’t born and raised on an island. SEA GLASS YOU SAY?? Wow. WHO KNEW
There's definitely a marketing opportunity here. ❤ Crafters, jewlery makers, collectors and decorators. So many people love "sea glass" but natural sea glass doesnt usually come so colourful
Ive found some awesome pieces of seaglass, The texture between tumbled and natural sea glass is noticeably different. It's also so much more satisfying finding rare colours like red.
My wife and I are avid sea glass hunters. We have upwards of 100lbs in the house. Our rare and unique collections have some fantastic pieces. One of my favorites is the front face of a glass Coca-Cola bottle that still has the writing.
Dragon tears ❤ often used in floral arrangements as a pretty weight (and also makes the overall amount of water necessary to keep the flowers alive less which means less mold/slime/yuck)
