    Use the lid to make your wind chime. Drill holes around the rim and hang old bottles or silverware, bottle stoppers etc.

    Lids make beautiful paperweights. You pop a stone in the lid ( for weight) , fill it with a mortar or plaster of Paris. Put a piece of fabric or felt to cover the bottom and little ceramic shards, marbles, buttons, “bitties” around the raw lid edge. You can make them very glamorous.I find them really useful when I do crafting outside in the summer. I tend to have piles of paperwork in my office and sewing room - they are useful AND pretty. They also make good cookie & scone cutters if well cleaned. I have an old brown one I use for scones. I suppose you could make stampers out of them? How about house key hiders? We have a little stone hippo, but who would think of a teapot lid? (Don’t bother trying to find our house, we’re in NZ!) LOVED THIS VIDEO. Don’t bother with rude kids, take your phone out and video them if they get very offensive, that usually scares them off. Mudlarking obviously agrees with you both, as you look as if you’ve just been on holiday! It must be the fresh air, the excitement of finding new things and just doing what you love. Lang May yer lum reek. Xxxxx

    I'm so surprised to hear that many viewers drop out before the round-up at the end. I love that part! Today, we got to see Kitty interacting with Barbie, whose big movie is opening this weekend! Kitty looked appropriately impressed, I thought. 😊
    > Pipe mouthpieces: Didn't the 2 slim pieces look more like cigarette holders to you? I immediately thought of FDR or the elegant 30s movie stars when I saw those.
    > Beautiful lids: What if you made interestingly shaped things out of clay to fit the lids - little jewelry/trinket boxes, etc.? I suggest this knowing of course that you have nothing but free time + are always at a loss for projects... 😉😁 Those of us waiting patiently for your shop to reopen would love to see these little creations there (or even just the lids). I'd also love to see little collections of pottery shards - like the little collections you left behind this time - as well. Again, all done in your spare time, of course. 😄😄😄
    Thank you so much for another beautiful video. I loved the crabapple shots! You know, you could make ja....... I'm kidding!!! You two just do whatever you WANT to do, and we'll all be out here with you vicariously, learning, dreaming, and enjoying every minute. ❤

    Alex and Gail, I always stay until the end of your videos...roundup, outro & all. I enjoyed watching you on the river shore finding the little trinkets and treasures the tides have revealed. I think the little girl cake topper would make such a cute cast silver pendant.
    Alex, I was sorry to hear you say you were subject to abusive language from those kids. You and your mother are so nice - those punks ought to be ashamed of themselves for what they did.

    The lid would make a good drawer pull! If you cut off the base (under the floral and handle), you could attach it to a drawer with epoxy for a nice ceramic handle. I also personally love the roundups! You're thoughts and added history bring depth and love to your finds. It's moving and compelling! Love you all! 💕🤟🏼

I found the Itty bittiest little bead and it's pink (my favorite color). I was beyond excited! I was yelling in my best Alex voice "It's a bead!" My son was laughing because he knew exactly what I was doing 😂. Thank you for sharing all your adventures with us.

    Your mud-larking adventures are fun to watch. A suggestion on what to do with the lids you find would be an ongoing contest. Ask your viewers if they have a pot that matches, shown with a picture, then award the lid, plus a prize of one of your hand-crafted pieces, to whoever has the pot to match. Good luck with your fun finds.

    I think you should make a lovely fairy cottage out of the beautiful teapot lid you found. You could actually use all the tiny doll white pot lids to make little toadstools and place these in your plants and garden. You could paint up the little porcelain lids to look more like toadstools. Just an idea. Peace

  • @terriatwell4041
    @terriatwell4041 Рік тому +1

    I always watch till the end. :) If you have a thick piece of wood (like barn wood) you could cut out an oval, use heavy duty glue and glue the lid in , hang board on wall and then you can use as a hook for necklaces, keys, a kitchen linen, etc. You could even do a series of three pot lids. It is beautiful so I hope you find a use.

    Great finds. The curved pieces of pottery you find could be cut out and used in bracelets. If you had enough pieces that were close in size and curve you could make a mixed bracelet. Or just use singles in a bracelet with link that would match the curve of the piece or use a nice piece of leather or silk ribbon. And of course the moment I wrote silk ribbon I thought they could also make a nice choke of the curve wasn't too sharp.
    Now off to check the new channel, can't wait to see what you are up to since you are my favorite Larkers.

    As for this video, I love the little lion! Could you try and sculpt the missing bits and cast them? I would love one of those. I also love the little elephants. The one with the little girl rider in tact is amazing that it survived from so long ago. Little treasures!
    My mom and aunt always wore spoon rings. Maybe you can make some with the handles you find?
    For the strangely-shaped lids, maybe you can fill them in and make custom stamps with them, sort of like was seals? They are pretty and I love how you rescue so many things.

    Ideas: You can buy clay to make trinket box for the old teapot lids.
    Frame them by glueing thwm onto drift wood.
    Oe chalk paint old wood and glue them on to make art.
    Make mobiles. You could drill a hole in one end to hang them.
    Make mosaic mirrors with old shards of ceramics and pottery.
    Hope some of these ideas help. You could sell them in your Etsy shop. 😅

    Thank you for sharing beautiful footage of the butterfly bushes, blackberry vines & crab apple trees, all seen where I live (I love your word "bramble" which we don't use here in Oregon, USA). I'm bed bound so can't wander the woods anymore so get my fix through beautiful footage like yours.
    The gorgeous oval pot lid could be set into the top of a wood box (any old wood to be found?) which could be hand painted to match.
    I LOVE your round-ups. How can anyone miss them? If you are then start watching to the end. You won't be disappointed & seeing the round-up completes the story of that lark.

    Hello Gail and Alex! Loved all the tiny treasures y'all found. I always look forward to seeing the finds all cleaned up at the "round up", it's exciting to see them come back to life. I'm definitely going to visit and subscribe to your new channel. it will be fun to see what kind of projects you do around the house. This was another another awesome adventure from our "digging diva's" the Northern Mudlarks!!😉 Have a wonderful week ladies...Big ((Hugs)) and Love from Texas!🤗💙

    I have watched all of the Lost Tower Diaries. The Shwoos was my favorite.
