How much is it worth weight wise and where would you sell it?
Hello there, these sound amazing! Can I ask which brand of clay you used? I’m new to this and have been hearing mixed reviews on clay
Wow I was not expecting such a clean sound from these. I always made stuff with fimo clay when I was younger and I've always been obsessed with ocarinas. I'm differently trying this
Thank you! Lovely shiny example on top in your candy dish. Must be wonderful to find these locally? I've hoped to find amber and.jet in a kelp whorl but I'm not near the ocean so have to buy jet when I come accross it. I solumly agree Whitby is the best! Lately I'm using boiled linseed to make it shiny. That and baby oil work well to clean jet.the boiled linseed may have.lead im it so be careful! Chamois and red rouge also help. Thanks! Bye!😅
I've watched your vidio before. I'm sure I quite enjoyed it. This time I admired one particular very glasslike piece you put on top of the pile in your candy dish. It was almost like obsidian. That must have been a wonderful discovery for you. I'm guessing your somewhere near Whitby, or Yorshire? Maybe Dover? At any rate your very blessed to be able to beach comb for jet. I live inland from the coast and presently do not drive, so I am envious of anyone able to travel to the coast and search for jet or amber amidst the kelp. I ve heard that boiled linseed and lampblack are used to liberate the full shine to a piece of real jet. Im having trouble right now just finding boiled linseed oil. I hope to polish some jet I found at a book store. I'm sure you have a very much more high quality piece of jet than I; but I will still continue my vapid search for the ultimate glassy piece of jet. Thank you for your beautiful vidio. You might sell your vidio to a Tourist bureau for your area and deprive funds from your passion for jet? Hope your able to find a huge chunk or open seam that is legal to pick! Bye for now.😅
You sell these?
I live there and work the jet
I’ve only really recently got into making clay things, mostly sculptures, but man these look so fun! Hope I can make one soon, they’d be a perfect gift honestly.
This is really great sharing my dear frien👍So nice and beautiful
It's not 'thousands of years old' - a ridiculous statement. Earliest known reference to the song is 14th December 1624 when a ballad called 'Sir John Barleycorne' was registered with the London Stationer's Company. The original very long ballad was completely re-written in the 1700's - in effect creating a new song. As heard in the video.
Oh Bonny, you are so kind to share your creative process with us. I love you color palette and the music was a perfect compliment! So beautiful are your paintings and to watch you paint is very peaceful and quite lovely. The monkey riding on the pen made me smile and speaks to your imagination and creative genius. Thanks again, I look forward to watching all of your posts. 😊❤👍🌹🌻🌷🌼🌸
Aaahhhh, this looks great, the moment the color gets into the waterflower, what a play! Looks like the drop becomes a flower! 🌸🌺🌼🌻
I have been saving this video to start my "evening off" ❤❤ At the start I thought you were showing us the petal shapes you can achieve with different brush types. But even better than a practice, that was lovely watching the images take shape and become art.
I’m so glad you enjoyed it 😊 I wanted to show a bit tutorial and also the natural nature of art, part of why I love watercolours, it’s part intentional and part letting the the elements do there thing, a perfect representation of magic 🪄 at our fingertips 🤗
@@bonny8427 Absolutely 🪄
Is this from a 2oz block?
For the larger ones I used about a golf ball sized lump of clay but the little one used about 2/3 of that. Hope that helps, a 2oz block should be enough 👍
@@bonny8427 thank you friend.
I have really... weird hands. Short fingers, small fingertips, my fingers slide off/into standard ocarina holes. I wonder if this would be a way to customise one so i can at least practice. I can barely fit my hands around a ukulele and my fingers are not...stretchy.
Absolutely you could! 😃 the placement is only really about comfort do what works for you, the hole size will define the notes so start small and tweak as you go till you get it the way you want, a guitar tuning app is great for this 👍 my little finger should not really work and does silly things it makes instruments difficult sometimes but where there’s a will there’s a way, give it a go plus custom instruments are epic especially when you make it yourself.
@bonny8427 You are so sweet to reply! Thank you so much for the help and encouragement Tiny Hand Gang! Also, could you cook polymer in like a countertop oven do you think? I'm oddly sensitive to the smell it sometimes gives off when my partner and I were last on an adhd creative spiral making "snake" fangs and jumanji board pieces.
@@ZoeAlleyne as long as it’s not a microwave any oven will do as long as the temperature is correct if you make a tinfoil tent to go over your creations it will prevent any burning it may also reduce the smell, I advise weighing the tent down along the edges with metal dinning knives 🍴 to stop it from trying to take off in the oven. Make sure it doesn’t touch the clay underneath. Hope that helps, Tiny hand gang for the win! 😁
Hallo Bonny, we opened up a classLOOM for beginners @loomates - any video you recommend for this playlist? Anything you‘re missing? We‘ve put your both weaving into as well! - ua-cam.com/play/PLkjMndRtNLgrTOxts8hQyBoPaCo_7sgza.html
Cool 😃 sure I’ve just put a playlist of videos up on my channel of videos I’ve found useful, hope that helps I’ll keep adding to it as I find more. 😁 aww cheers I’ll be putting out another soon, so much progress very excited
@@bonny8427 Thanx dear, that helps a lot. Great that Ainu woman in your collection, and this weavers in the cold; I forgot that one already! Everytime great to see again. First you may think someone is performing medical life until you realize it’s present! - Yeah, we are excited too, waiting your new video! 👀
Hi Bonny, wow that art is incredible, so absolutely detailed, my favourite is the leaves, and that bearded gnome guy with the fishing poll😁
I enjoy looking at your syrychingd and the true art pieces. One that stands out is Stone Henge , that s very good indeed 👍🏼
Yes I will admit that one is my favourite too 😁 the old stones still have a lot of soul there so fun to paint. Thank you 🙏
@@bonny8427 by the way that was meant to mean scribblings. 🌹
The one with the purple mountains stands out to me as an,.."oh my, that is so beautiful" one.
Yesss, this one was great atmosphere!
I call it the Bob wash, my first attempt at watercolour landscapes, and I’m so thrilled with it, the great Bob Ross was watching over me for that one I think 😄
Love the drums
Same. 💃 I keep dancing to it while editing haha
Ooooh, they are pretty great!!! The one catched me straight is the fishing dwarf! Superb! And these shiny ball-shaped bottles again and again! These forestry sceneries, go on with them! Also all the leaves and plants are great in dimensions, you can touch them, but slightly a bit too stiff, like a dead plastic. They earn you spend them some life, as nature is. And YOU can do that easily! These birds are amazing, great, but same: make them fly, open the window and give them life! Poor things, have to stay in that book all day long! How‘s about each gets its own video?
The dwarf is fun I’m still working on it he’s such a character😁 I know what your saying they need a bit of movement my thoughts too. I’ll see what I can do 😉
I love the texture and detail in the black and white drawings. Love the crystal with the dream vial with the ship. The bubbles were cool. Love all of the color! The King Fisher was spot on and gorgeous. Bonny, you are so artistic and multi-talented. Just keep following your interests and intuition, All of your art work is so good and pleasing in so many different ways. You have a feel for all that you paint and draw and that comes through. Your work has heart! Thanks for sharing, Bonny. Loved it! ❤👍💗💖
Thanks so much Wyo ❤️🥹 that means so much to me, I’ve always had trouble getting the nerves to put my art out into the world, I’m so grateful for all the beautiful comments and such support I am truly honoured. Thank you 😊 I have plans for the kingfisher 🤫😉
@@bonny8427 Never again worry or hesitate to show your art work. You are VERY talented and I had trouble picking one that was my favorite because they were ALL really good! Thank you for sharing!!! ❤👍 Oh and Keep on dancing....😁
Those are lovely, Bonny 💚 The plant/flower arts especially speaks to my soul, the one at 1.17 is so wonderful 🪻🌼🌺🌿 I would love to decorate my home with your art 🌞
I do love the flowers too, I’m going to do a tutorial on how to paint them soon there surprisingly easy and addictively fun to make 😁 thank you so much perhaps soon! I’m looking into getting prints made and possibly even selling some originals so its not outside of possibility. 😄
Sounds amazing, looking really forward 🪻😊
FIRST! 😋
Second! ❤
That was such a nice video and I learned something new
Thank you, it’s great to learn something new, 😁🌸 one of my favourite things to do
Thank you so much
Hi Bonny good to see you, and so neat to see where that Jett comes from. It is a fascinating stone. Such a peaceful area. Especially with the cows and that blue bird. 😁👍
Hi Luke great to see you too, it’s a fantastic place, the peacocks are stunning, we were quite surprised when one ran across the road 😅 it was a day of Birds always a good omen I find. 🦢 birds are good at finding things.
Oh Bonny, What an absolutely wonderful thing to have access to jet in such a lovely location. A day there would just fly by!!!.....With the brisk afternoon breezes to cool you as you climb up the hill from the sea. I've been a rock hunter forever and cleaning those rocks is a labor of love,...but I find that it's how you get to know each one and reveal their individual, special attributes. I so enjoyed this video. I loved the "scratch testing. ❤ Thank you, Bonny, for posting it and I hope you are well and enjoying your all of your summer.👍
Hello Wyo good to see you. It really was a wonderful day, I had to ration my pocket space so many pretty rocks 😂 I wouldn’t have made it back up the hill. The breeze was much appreciated indeed. Im planning a jet working video as a follow up 😉 so we will see them again soon. Rocks are so interesting. Hope your having a fantastic summer and I hope the weather has been as lovely for you too. ❤
I must apologise for not posting much, I’ve had a disasters with tech and health issues that have gotten in the way. But I hope things should be fixed now 🤞 i missed this and I’m so happy to be back.
@@bonny8427 Love having you back. Always no pressure to post. Just joy. 😄
I'm absolutely stunned! To think it's really just this easy to make an ocarina. And they sound so good, too! Very underrated video if you ask me! Makes me want to try this myself!
To you my dear! >>> ua-cam.com/users/shortsjqpLT6KddVI
I’ll agree with everyone here and say that is incredibly talented work your doing, and Mr sore paws is right, you should share your creations on the tribe hall too, they are superb!😃👍
A set of backstrap tools and several results…….. it‘s so gooood feeling, isn‘t it!
Such talent ❤
💗🎶🙏
Awesome, to say the least!
It really is, it’s becoming my new favourite tool, 😁
You need to join the Tribe Hall!
This is beautiful, Bonny 🌼❣️ So wonderful to look at!
Wow completely hand made fabric that is so neat 👍
It’s very cool I always wanted to weave but looms take space or that’s what I used to think, and their expensive, but this looms just sticks and string and it’s incredible, plus I can take it anywhere and use it anywhere, Back strap looms are awesome 🤩
@@bonny8427 Ya that Looks like such a neat take anywhere loom👍😃
@@lukeandmum That‘s what a real space warper is all about - Take me anywhere, my loom! 👌
@@Loom.Design exactly Loom design, it’s so excellent 👌😁
Nice video sharing 👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤
Thank you 😁❤️❤️
no idea what are you doing, what it will be
I’m learning to weave fabric, so I can spin and weave the wool from my sheep 🐑 This will be the new belt for my loom when it’s done 😁
🧶We can‘t discover any great lack of tension in the warp (as far resolution allows to detect. If you still miss tension in single parts of threads after adding a coil rod, you can try to add some additional thin sticks (same like the pattern sticks you may discover in some loom settings!) Best these are thinner than the coil rod! The thinner they are the more accurate you can tune the tension for this single threads. Insert these sticks into the warp between warp beam and coil rod. Same like the insertion of the coil rod you wind these single too loose around this stick. If needed you can wind this thread that many time around the stick until tension is satisfying. Just add threads on this stick, that are lacking tension. But first coil rod! 👌
Ah cool, like popsicle sticks? I need a better warping method I think my last one was a tad wonky I think it was my warping so I’m going to try and make a real warping board, your video is the inspiration, and I can’t keep “borrowing” my hubbys home gym, he wants it back
@@bonny8427 No not really popsicle sticks, no rectangular. Better something similar a BBQ stick, what means at least 3 mm in diameter and round! Watch out for some videos of backstrap weavers in Sumatra, to get an idea what a pattern stick is about. In general made by a round-carved split out of a bamboo cane! In this case here you can use your knitting needle for example!
Later on you may try to exchange the warp beam with a rectangular board. You may experience that this offers effects on warp tension just by moving your toes. Your loom and you will met together! Similar like „Reaching Amisoka“ or „shelfBoard“!
Yes I was noticing my feet didn’t have a lot of control I pinged it at myself a few times 😅 I’ll try the board next I think I have the wood for that, looking forward to warping up again 😁🌸
Have you done the beat-in sword by yourself? Looks very good done! 👌
I had a little help but we did, it’s my Third attempt now but I think I’m getting a good idea of what it needs to be, this one’s my favourite so far, but the chunky one from before works well as a shed role I have three different shed role tubes to chose from now haha😂 thankyou for all the advice it’s made a huge difference ❤🙏❤️
@@bonny8427 Yess, that‘s the great thing, how all items keep in use. Have you found that vdo of a Sherpa woman in Ladakh, using a similar branch for shed role! They don‘t have much choice up there, but that‘s already enough for some!
Maybe try to add an coil rod in between warp beam and shed roll. For this take a thin stick and wind threat for once around it, to sort the warp and stabilizing its width! 👌
Sorry, incorrect explanation: You have to wind threat for threat around this coil rod. So all threats are rowed up on the coil rod!
I totally forgot this time, I kicked myself when I realised,🤦♀️ I’ve made a note so I don’t forget I’ll be setting up a new warp tomorrow would a knitting needle work if it’s long enough? I have a few odds about somewhere?
@@bonny8427 Hi Bonny! No worry, you can add the coil still now into the already prepared warp, that you have on the loom. No need to take it of! You don‘t have to wait for later on coming warps! Anyway you add the coil rod into the warp at the end of preparation! Try the knitting needle, it may work, why not - better than nothing! In my opinion knitting needle sounds a bit thin to me. I would prefer a wooden one, with about half centimeter in diameter (small finger size!)
Wow making your own fabric that’s just incredible, your truly an artist of many things 👍😃
It’s been a lot of fun to learn I’ve still got a long way to go but it’s very rewarding, did you know the loom is the grandmother of the computer? It’s the same principle. Maybe if I master the loom I can finally work my computer properly haha 😂 hope your both well 👍🌼
@@bonny8427 we’re doing well, will have an update video soon. Wow that is fascinating and I think you could after you get good at that, it looks so complicated. 👍
Yess, you‘ve got it! Well done, Bonny! The shed opens pretty fine, doesn‘t it! It takes a while to get all details managed in one! It’s someway how like a marriage! I guess bamboo for tools was the right decision, and not that difficult to organize as thought first! And it sets the right soundsphere for this ritual work! Are you bracing by foot? Good luck 🍀 to both of you!👌
The foot board is amazing! Honestly I’m thrilled 😁 there’s still stuff to improve on but I’m really starting to get the feel for it now, getting in the flow of it, it really does sound like music when you get the rhythm going,
@@bonny8427 You can take anything rectangular - starting from a plain 5 cm high lath up to a huge board! A board in about foot size improves the comfortability and sensivity!
Lovely home-made(?) loom. Such dedication. I enjoyed watching. Glad for Luke for telling me about your channel.
Thank you Luke and mum are awesome, Im so glad you enjoyed it, yes it’s a Back strap loom this one is set up as a loin loom so the tension is kept by your feet it’s 100% portable and is just sticks and yarn, it’s very cool. 😁much more to come 👍🌸
Very nice! Looks such a cosy scene.
Thank you ❤ a nice fire makes such a difference
Bonny - back in the elements! …… the flames took me back reminding the spin wheel in one of your last vidz, waking up under a tree of moon lite…..🌙
Indeed I am, as best I can anyway my camera isn’t happy and needs fixing, hopefully soon I can make my usual videos again fingers crossed 🤞 spinning by the fire is one of my favourite things to do there’s something magical about it. ✨

So beautiful Bonny. If you only knew…. Life can be very hard, yet you demonstrated your lovely soul. 💗🎶🙏😊
Thank you Keith that’s so kind to say. 😊🌸 I have walked the shadows as much as any other, I have scars and old wounds but stars shine brightest in darkest gloom, and if we cannot find them then it is for us to shine as bright as we can, for ourselves and others, to light the way as many have before us. That brings me great hope in this world, wishing you have a wonderful day 🌿🌷🌱 ✨
