    I'm 68 years old and I would love to wear it. You women are amazing jewelry makers. The fact that you take these pieces of junk you find on the shoreline and turn them into beautiful jewelry full of love and history. I can tell how much you love making them. I also love watching you do it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

    I have to say, that you are very talented Gail! Your jewelry always comes out so nice. It's noticeable that patience as well as being gentle is required to obtain such great work! You are patient when you mudlark just the same! I assume that is why you both find such dainty and beautiful small finds.

  • @kerrindrawdy2017
    @kerrindrawdy2017 2 роки тому +1

    It occurs to me the sheer dedication to crafting Mrs. Gail must have to patiently and persistently work the metals so carefully and thoroughly. I know next-to-nothing of jewelers or jewelry-making, but I imagine in this day and age most of the "mechanics" are processed and/or automated wherever possible. I'm curious to know the length of time it took to complete this project. And I wouldn't mind seeing how the metals were polished to completion. Truly a beautifully unique and creative piece of jewelry! Kudos, Mrs. Gail and Ms. Alex, for your artistic contributions! ❤️

    With the insanity going on in our world today, I have to tell you ladies I appreciate you more than you know for your videos. You are an escape from that for so many and you make some amazing things from your finds. I work with stained glass so I see the beach glass and things you find that are really awesome, ends up giving me ideas for creating different pieces myself. Incorporating some of the different "similar" finds. Thank you for the inspiration. You have my Sub! Bless you both.

    Hello Gail & Alex. Gail I watched you make the leaf from a piece of old copper pipe. Then I also watched Alex mould a silver figure. Is there anything you two cannot do because you both put your whole being to achieve what you do do. I can’t get enough of your vids. All channels what a coup,e of amazing people. I was mesmerised watching you make the leaf now I’m the same watching you make this. I said this once before to you. Long May you both continue . Thank you for sharing this.
