If Laura and Simone were neighbors they'd be unstoppable. Such a great dynamic.
the atlantic ocean is the only thing keeping utter chaos at bay
Well... we all know what happens when two good neighbours get together... ua-cam.com/video/PvVjTjMZzo0/v-deo.html
They would have too much power!! The universe isn't ready, that's why they need an ocean between them
Laura made a video just recently where she shipped a cart, some supplies and tools off to LA for unspecified future “big exciting things”. I’m kinda hoping (given she is LA based) Simone is involved in whatever that is.
they are already unstoppable, but there's dogs involved too
Laura: Builds a house entirely with clay walls.
Also Laura a few months later: I've never done anything with clay!
Well, everyone builds an entire house out of clay. That's like the first thing you learn to do as a toddler.
Lmao that was my thought exactly
I cannot get enough of Simone and Laura working together! It's so fun to watch two talented and creative makers have a good time making things together.
I love watching Simone’s videos. I love watching Laura’s videos. Watching Simone + Laura videos is hard because of the tears rolling down my face from laughing so hard! Love it!
Unless it’s an led, those flowers are going to die and turn brown really fast.
The trick with clay is that it must dry very slowly and evenly. It's common practice to wrap the clay part in some badly sealed plastic bags so you keep some moisture inside as it dries over about a month (sometimes you can cut it down to about two weeks depending on what's in the clay).
Friend of mine built a clay oven over an entire year. It's a pretty damn amazing oven!
Another ceramicist here! The clay was also under " stress" because as it was shrinking from the water evaporating, it was wrapped around the glass lid which had no give, so clay typically has a shrinkage rate of around 10%, and without that extra space to shrink it cracked along any weak point it could find!
I was a Play Doh expert when I was 4, you needed to eat the clay after making something with it. I guess. I have no idea really.
so you're one of the "clay people" simone talked about ;)
I came here to say that! (engaging comment)
You two are so great. I did something similar in college, in 1973. Once the flowers died and dried, I found out it became a fire hazard. Now, with LEDs I'm not catching anything on fire....well...
I hope you learned that the easy way, at least.
that was my first thought when i saw it, id be worried about that bulb burning the flowers especially once they start drying out. im hoping simone thought of this?
I thought about this, and then “oh yeah LED lamps. Everything is LED now”
So yeah I guessing heat from the bulb isn’t going to be a problem
Yeah, I was also surprised that they didn't use LEDs, and was worried about flammability when I saw the finished product.
@@greensteve9307 probably a fake bulb with leds in it
Any day is a great day for a Simone + Laura collab!
@tjb94try doing some work. Beggars are losers.
I need to know if they're dating or not
Maybe it's none of your business
@@sophietan7540I don't. Let their private life be private if they want it to be
👍👍👍
This looks amazing. You could even just sell a lid to go on a standard jam jar.
😊
Jar sizes aren’t standardized I don’t think? 🤔
@@lnt305, mason jars in the US are a pretty standard size.
@@lnt305 Ball Jars are. They're the kind you use for canning. They sell very standard sizes with standard-size lids, and they're extremely common, at least in the US.
Edit: emma already said this. Oh well, reinforcing her point.
I feel like it's not even necessary to screw on the jar, it just needs to stay on top ov the vase/jar.
That way size wouldn't be a problem. It could be compatible with everything that can hold water and is deep enough for the flowers.
Should use a led bulb that doesnt get to hot, the heat from normal bulbs will hurt the plants and or cause a fire to dried out plants that could have been forgotten
*Damn 350+ up votes, never had so many in my life lol thanks*
absolutely a good call for anyone wanting to do something like this.
LED bulbs are "normal" now, in Germany (where this was recorded) incandescent bulbs are only allowed for special applications anymore.
Came to say this. I also think it would be cool to design bi-directional lighting, where the lower array interacts with the water to light that up. Especially if the LEDs have color options.
That's exactly what I thought also.
Looks pretty low wattage it would be fine.
Not a minute in and Simone bursts into laughter. We know where this is going, and it is called delight.
De Light? De Flamp?
@@dhrumils Definitively!
@@lootwijk De Finitively!
The shot of Simone looking down at flamp in the dark while it's on is so beautiful. Simone looks so at peace, that look of contentment and awe. So beautiful.
This is Simone in her happy place.
❤
Also when she got the idea of the Flamp - she looked just like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz!
My favorite happy Simone video is still the one of her taking the zero G flight
@@JudeFergy Good choice! ❤
@7:59
There's something heartwarming about the way Simone, Laura and also Adam Savage show their childlike (said as a compliment) enthusiasm toward building stuff, and knowing things that makes me feel some hope for humanity. Also Destin from smarter everyday
The word you're looking for is childlike
Be careful what type of lightbulb you use as some lightbulbs can get quite hot and as the plants dry out the lightbulb could ignite them.
Best bet would be to use LED lights as they do not give off heat.
LED light bulbs actually give off quite a bit of heat, which one will quickly learn if one ever tries to unscrew an LED bulb immediately after turning it off without letting it cool down, though aiui most of that heat comes from the supporting circuitry instead of the LEDs themselves (I think they call it a ballast by analogy with CFLs even though it's… not really a ballast). They just give off like 90% less heat than an equivalently bright incandescent, and also still a lot less than fluorescent. For a low-power bulb like this one, it's probably not a fire hazard, but I couldn't say that with 100% confidence. I'd probably compare it against the power rating allowed for christmas tree lights to determine safety if I were doing this myself.
I would not have put the white ones in either. Fluitekruid we call them in the Netherlands, the cloudy stuff, the tiny tiny crumblike white flowers. Once they dry out, or ferment, they have súch a strong cat-pee smell.
Actually flamp solves an issue for me, which is that I do like flowers but don’t keep vases around for them because then I have to keep a single function object around and store it when not in use and it’s just too much for my tiny brain and tiny apartment. But flamp is not useless when there are no flowers because it is still a lamp. It would just need to be a good lamp when flowers are absent and not a glaring naked bulb. And flowers do deserve more than just a random water glass, and the gentle glow from within is beautiful. Bonus points if flamp has a dimmer switch or color changing LED options for maximum bouquet customization.
As a clay person you did great! Creating a watery clay mix is called a slip and that's used to attach clay to clay
All this time I thought it was so Patrick Swayze and Demi Moore could get dirty.
Wow, how did a statue type this comment?
who brought you to life
Don't you mean slib with a b?
That is what mud/dirt on the waterfloor is called here.
I love the confused look on Simone's face when they both beheld their first version of the Flamp. "It's really pretty...more than I expected!"
Literally dropped everything when the SImone Giertz notification dropped - AND it's a Laura collab? Glorious day, wonderful lamp!
It is actually quite dangerous. The metal shroud of the lamp is free, which could be connected to the phase conductor on an unpolar system. So if you touch it you will get an electric shock. Depending on the power of the lamp. it is also a fire hazard.
Yeah, it does need an iteration, I imagine the Flamp in the store will probably have a led light. But as a concept, I think this is really nice!
Yeah. Sometimes the problem with making things that rarely or never been made before, is that there could be untested problems with it
@@arjenlaan4103 Simon already answered another post, that V2 has 5V LED
I personalky would never put electricity above "vaporing" water, like that. Youknow?
@@Widdekuu91 no, I see not problem with vaporing water.
Simone and Laura together have a sweet vibe, amazing you remembered the password after a month
"But this I would enjoy watching die." Hahahahaha you are such a crack up. Your interaction with Laura is a delight. Loved this.
i was just binge rewatching all your videos yesterday bc i missed you
Will the light help the plants live or the heat kill it faster? Good luck flamp!
I love the drill on the wet clay. haha I'd buy a flamp, but i'd like a LED bulb to avoid fires lol
or even buy a kit to make our own........
This is excellent. I've made a bunch of paper flowers in the past, and this seems like it'd be a fun way to display them.
That sounds like an amazing idea! especially tissue or thin paper flowers, the light would shine through, might look like they're glowing! gosh, now I want to try it. any tips or ideas for making sure the light doesn't overheat and catch fire to the paper? unless it's the kind that's not constantly on, I've never put flammables next to lightbulbs 😅
@@minnow468 I'm thinking if you do an LED bulb, they mostly only put out significant heat around their heatsink at the base of the bulb, so you could make that be on the opposite side of the plate from the flowers with just the cooler bulb sticking through. That way the hot part is only ever near the wire stems, which aren't flammable (and probably can't transmit enough heat to the paper to be dangerous.
@@russellaltizer6944 tysm; I'll try it!
a new Simone+Laura collab to make my whole month ⭐
Hi, I'm a clay people and I watch both of your channels, love them! there is no wrong way to work with clay, just working in clay gives you an appreciation of the medium . . . thanks for all the joy
Thanks for speaking out, clay person. Stay out of the rain so you don't melt.
This is great because it’s a manageable DIY, or you can get the Giertz Store one when it comes out!
Always love Simone/Laura videos. The energy between you two is so good
It was a real moment of realization to see that all the flowers they picked in Cologne, Germany also grow wild in my backyard in Idaho. #columbianexchange #globalization
Do you know what flowers those are?
@@jacobetter5573 I saw what I think are the following: dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), yarrow (Achillea millefolium), and buttercups (Ranunculus). There's also a purple one in there that I can't identify.
Hey, for cutting glass bottles you can cut two short planks and screw them together to make a v-shaped channel. Clamp your glass-cutter to the end of the channel, place the bottle in, and rotate it for a perfect circular score. You often don't need to even tap or heat-shock the bottle - after a few full turns the end just pops off.
Great work on the Flamp, looking forward to the final product!
This is so lovely!
Now I wanna build a flamp too! But more like a flowerpot with a living plant, for my bedside or coffee table or something :3
Ooooh, like an aquaponics/hydroponics lamp? (I don't remember the difference)
@@dolphin64575 (Had to look up what that is :D) hmm those seem to be special lights to help flowers grow?
Not quite what I had in mind - i mean something purely decorative, like Simones, just with a potted houseplant instead of a water container with cut flowers :)
(But now I'm thinking, I COULD use such an aqua/hydroponics lamp, I mean why not..?)
Beautiful! I must submit for your consideration, the Flot. A version with potting soil. Wait, that's just a flower pot. But with a lamp and a more creative name. Living Flamp? As always, love the video :)
I was expecting an inner lamp body that curls up from the base to hold potting soil. Like a terra cotta pot with an oversized bowl as the drainage catcher, but not.
Simone I am SO with you on flowers and expected to enjoy watching them die. The lighting is magical. ❤
Can I just express my absolute joy in seeing the Rode mic/Hat fixture being adopted and held onto tenaciously since the big live stream you did back (in L.A.?) Anways Rode Wireless Go 2 on the hat band, every chance you get! 👍
Flamp🌹💡
Yeah, this is gorgeous. Off to my 3D printer. Looking forward to your design to purchase, too.
That Meow Wolf hat is making me smile so hard (so is everything else). Not enough people have gotten a chance to experience the joy of that insanely ambitious project. I’ve been to three, and each one is brilliant. It does not surprise me in the least that she is a fan, and I could absolutely see this lamp being in one of them.
Meow Wolf is definitely in my top 5 of best lifetime experiences. I enjoyed it so much I have framed art from several of its creators in my home so I can be reminded of it every day.
@@whoopsydaisy6389 right!? It’s absolutely mind boggling
I loved this simple yet classic design ❤
4:54 Nah, clay people are pretty malleable when it comes to custom ideas/techniques. 😉
You're probably going to get lots of people telling you how to cut a glass bottle, but honestly the water method is really satisfying when it works! You needed to fill the bottle with boiling water to the cut line, not just pour it over, then plunge it into a bucket of very cold water. You don't even need to hit it then, the temperature difference does the work for you, it just goes "ting!" and splits.
I was thinking of hot/cold, too way back in the 70s I used to cut off the top of wine bottles to make vases. I can't remember the details but it employed ice, a string, maybe parafin? Maybe one fills the bottle with ice water, tie paraffin-soaked twine around the line you want to cut, then set the twine on fire? I remember however it went, it was really easy, neat and clean. I think I sanded the edges of the vase and that was it. Maybe there's YT video of the method somewhere...
"I wouldn't mind watching this die." - Simone Giertz, 2023.
So cute 🥺 it could totally be a real product
You may want to make sure the metal of the lamp socket is shielded and cannot be touched, otherwise best use a low voltage LED bulb and a small power supply..
2 of my favorite people having fun? Yes please!
String soaked in IPA tied around the bottle. Light it on fire for a bit and plunge the bottle in cold water. Perfect cut.
It took me far far too long to understand that as isopropyl alcohol and not beer 😂
now I need a flamp, like seriously, the name is so good too, love these little things you guys make
Simone and Laura together is just pure Maker gold.
As someone who works with clay, I love this!!! I think I’ll make one today 😌
Love the videos and your sense of humour.
The friendly chemistry of Simone an Laura always makes me smile! :D
The clay probably cracked because it shrank and being on top of something solid, it split at the weak points, but like you said, it holds up. Nothing a little glue can't fix if it breaks into pieces!
They make some very convincing artificial flowers now, so you could probably get some of those and make it look just as pretty but without needing to replace the flowers. You could also use like, clear resin to make it look like it has water and hold the flowers in, so there's no chance of spillage!
These two absolutely warm my heart.
Beautiful work on your FLAMP. 👍👍
A flamp for fake flowers would be cool
I’m bad at taking care of cut flowers 😅
And if it’s all fake, you don’t need water, and can route the wiring into the base
Hi! 😃🤚🇸🇪
"But this, I would enjoy watching die." Quote of the YEAR! 🙏🙏
Simone & Laura go together like... water & electricity. What could ever go wrong!
Further to this: Invert the idea, put waterproof LEDs in the water and suspend a living plant into it. This way you can recycle, reuse and reduce waste and bonus a flamp the whole family can enjoy! P.S... TOTALLY MAKING ONE OF THESE now... DIYaddict#NoREALLY
I DO have some extra modelling clay laying around my room that I didn't know what to do with - until now! That is a heckin good idea and I loved every single minute of this video. Can't get enough of neither you nor Laura, and even better when combined
Just make sure you use an LED lightbulb when you do!
@@sarahcoupland4259 uh, I didn't even think about that! Thank you
It's so pretty. So, so pretty. FLAMP
Lovely project!
Simone with Laura is 2x the laughs! That was a fun project. I love the Flamp.
Simone's inventions are useless ... and im here for all of it. Her creativity is limitless.
Laura: "How would I know what you're thinking?"
Subtext: "I'm not that crazy."
But, really lovely and creative. I like it.
4:00 just feels like the soundtrack of Simone.
"huh?" - *whack* - "oh yeah" - *smash* - *giggles* - "good job!"
Simone once said,” this I would EnJoY watching DIE “.🙃
Great video by the way. You guys are just amazing together.
"Did we do something wrong?"
I'm sure being up Laura's nose had nothing to do with it cracking. 🤔 Cool Flamp v3 is in the works. It could have turned out to be a total flomp.
that reaction to turning the lamp on is the best. just pure joy. not over the top or anything that could be misconstrued as faking it, just a simple joy from looking at some nicely lit up flowers. the most wholesome thing ive seen on youtube all week. even beating out Mr Kitters. which is quite the accomplishment.
"I'll enjoy watching this die." Few statements are more quintessentially 'Simone.'
Thumbs way up and thanks for posting!
Parents: "No running with scissors!"
Simone: "Been there; done that, and with giant scissors, to boot. Now I'll _skip_ with scissors!"
those two are such a wonderful chaotic duo.
i would love a flamp that was like, an actually flower pot. So you could grow stuff in it and it was a lamp (with a LED bulb or something to help stop it burning/killing the plant)...Or even one of those lights that are meant to mimic sunlight for indoor plants!
This is so cute!
That's a great design, I'd totally have one of these as my desk lamp!
Also, am I playing too much Fallout, or does the glass cutting at 3:40 sound almost exactly like a Geiger counter?
Xyla Foxlin’n video yesterday Simone today, summer UA-cam is getting fun again. You ladies are killing it.
This channel should be named ‘how not to get a job cause I think I’m relevant’. I was in 2 years ago. Next week; let’s drop scrabble letters in a stair and see how to glue them and make a dice
Really cool lamp but isn't this a massive fire hazard? Don't forget to change the flowers when they dry out!
Mina två favorityoutubare på samma gång, skitbra!!!!! My two favorite youtubers at the same time, so fcuking good!!!!
If you want to keep around plants that won’t die, look into hydroponics! I would love a desk lamp sized hydroponic system to grow plants in! You could even do one of the spinning wheel nasa versions
You need to bake clay so the molecules don't drift apart and crack. The hotter the better
Simone and Laura is my favourite super hero team. You guys are such a wholesome delight, please more of this! (I haven't even watched the video yet, but I know what to expect!)
Great project, but I could see the flowers drying quickly with the light.
7:30 i love the apparent confusion and disgust in your faces while saying „aww, it looks so pretty“ 😂😂
I got very confused when editing-Simone kicked in. What even are magnets? Is someone enjoying watching me die right now?
A pretty fire hazard if we ever saw one, once the plants/ flowers start to dry they are very combustible when near a hot lamp…Non?
I have a smoking lid for cocktails, made from wood. Might work well for this application
I was literally in the exact spot in Berlin from the ad read like, 3 weeks ago. It was so jarring to instantly know I recognised that spot haha
Two engineers/scientist …..touching broken and cut glass with fingers. Geniuses.
watching two people whose first language is not english do an entire video in english is so bizarre to me. That said, both of you speak english better than most native speakers.
I have the same idea about flowers. I don't get the point of cut flowers that just die within a week, im more of a plants person so flowers that survive at least 1 season.
"Let's find some materials to make a vase out of." Erm, how about the clay?!
Simone and Laura making a video together - can there be anything better? ❤
Think I'm going to stick a desk lamp in the pot of my indoor Monstera while I wait for my Flamp. Should project Swiss cheese shadows all over the room. Flamp is a legitimately great idea for fresh flowers, so easy to pick wildflowers or foliage (where allowed) when out for a walk and replace each stem as they get old. Perpetual bunch of flowers! I hope there will be a 220-240V version. You two are awesome together.
"This I would enjoy watching die" needs to be the tag line for Flamp once it goes live on the store.
I also don't like watching flowers die, so I would give an option for fake flowers as well ;) and as others have already mentioned, a low power LED would be best here, to prevent a lot of heat drying out the real flowers and/or melting plastic flower lol.
Whoa, is Simone rocking a wedding bolt?
"this i would enjoy watching die.." oh Simone, never change
7:53 Flamp needs a single AAA battery power source so you can watch the light and flowers die at the same time.
So yep. They're together, that's awesome. I can't wait to see what they create together. I think this will work. They're electric together.

Beautiful work. Inspiring friendship. All the best.
