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!

March 2022 Hello, from Pennsylvania! I am in complete awe of your jewelry making skills, ladies! I so enjoy watching all your videos- especially when you create something so beautiful, such as the carnelian ring and bead, from raw materials you've found on a beach. I'm not sure if you've done so, but, I hope you've had a special maker's mark stamp made for your jewelry creations, as in my opinion, your creativity and talents are certainly, that special! Cheers to watching many more fun mudlarking, and beach combing adventures you both have, as well as the beautiful handmade jewelry pieces made from your collection of interesting finds! Fondly, E.T.H.

@lorenrobertson8039 2 года назад

Oh now this is my kind of thing! Huge rock hound! I used to break open the rocks that looked so plain on the outside that would be filled with beauty and crystals I used to pick up when visiting my grandmother and aunt in Little Rock, Arkansas USA. People often find diamonds and other precious jewels in that general area as well as agates. But my favorite thing to find was in the gravel of our own gravel country road of pink quartz. I love pink! I pick a rock from each place I go to remind me of places I've lived, worked, and have special memories of...and they are not all beautiful. Life is not always lovely.

@lorenrobertson8039 2 года назад

I used to ask every year for a rock polisher as a kid. Never got one, but had a friend with many sib's and they had one that I could add a few rocks to every now and then. One of course was a rose quartz that was special to me and I don't know what happened to it now.

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-

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.

@moonbeamflowers4795 4 года назад

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.

@robertapearson3507 4 года назад

Twenty or thirty years ago, I had a obsessive interest in “rock hounding” as it is called in North America. One thing I learned in my research was about polishing a “window” on a stone to see what is inside. It is especially useful for those without large cutting wheels for dividing big rocks with deceptively plain exteriors, but hidden beauty inside. The process let’s them “see inside” the stone to discover if it is worth it to have someone cut it up for them. I was thinking, on some of the wee gems you have found, where there is banding, etc., you could take just one face (or two) of the stone and grind/sand it down ‘til it’s flat, then polish the face ‘til it glows. I think the juxtaposition of the polished face and the raw stone would make a lovely “statement” in a pendant or earrings or a bead. I can see it in my mind’s eye. It could be quite lovely with the right stones. I love your videos and look forward to more of everything you do, especially the bead-making & jewelry crafting. Truly amazing. 👵🏻🐾💕🇨🇦

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.
