Use the lid to make your wind chime. Drill holes around the rim and hang old bottles or silverware, bottle stoppers etc.
First thing I thought of ❤
I thought the same thing
But you might miss being able to see the most beautiful decorated top if others are hanging from it I’m thinking.
I was just going to say to use lid to hang things from it to make a wind chime also.
You guys are all geniuses ' brilliant idea!
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. ❤
I comment as I’m watching. I haven’t got there yet.🤭 I guess I was at Student who never read the full instructions before I got started🙃
Oh great, now I’m tempted to fast forward. But I mustn’t.
I always watch through to the end of your videos. I believe you or Alex can make a clay or metal box for your lid.
@@risireynolds6881 Agreed!
I hit two bucket list items this month! I found sea glass!!! And I was always so floored when you spotted beads but guess what? 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.
You could make a wooden box for the oval lid, or simply make an ornament out of it. I love the design and colors on it. Good finds!
You've inspired me to put down my technology and see what wonders are hiding beneath my feet. I love your music in your videos. It makes me want to dance, and I have two left feet. Keep doing what you love because the joy translates through the screen and lifts the spirits of so many. ❤❤❤ from New England
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.
I love the idea of hanging the floral teapot lid on a wall or on an old piece of wood then hanging a string or two of your found beads on it.
Your videos are always so calming and interesting to me. Love from America!
Central Florida here
From the comments I am reading everyone is watching your videos from beginning to end,I know I do! ❤
Me too!
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! 💕🤟🏼
The little lead “toy” looks like it’s part of a broken toy canon!
Cant believe viewers turn off before the roundup that's my favourite part ..I'm loving the new channel ladies ❤❤❤
Fantastic capture!! that's very interesting observation.
These are absolutely favorite of people , Good finds! have a wonderful day!
So happy to see a new video from my favorite mother/daughter duo. I love going on adventures with you, seeing all your treasures and even the things you leave behind.
Thank you for taking us along and for the time you put into making each video for us to enjoy.
Nice little treasure many metal pieces found.Beautifully larked this day,looking forward to your new channel ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💜
Hello Gail and Alex beautiful sponge ware pieces lucky elephant always a nice time with you both 😊❤
So enjoy your adventures at the foreshore, thank you for taking us along. Unless I did not hear it correctly, please know how much I look forward to the round-up at the end with your explanations and historical perspectives if applicable- so please keep this section; it is wonderful!
I enjoy the mudlark and the round up. It lifts my spirit to experience your videos in whole. The cinematography, music, history and all around wholesome and enjoyable time I get to spend with you both. Blessings and thank you !🌸V
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.
It’s not boring finding beads - they are my favorite to watch you find!
Question ❓ why do so many beads show up on the shore and other places you go mudlarking? I've always wondered that.
I'm curious as to why so many beads show up.
The teapot lid could be a sweet little fairy house!
I’ve always thought a kitchen wall full of the lids you find, would be so interesting.
Love those tiny elephants with the little girl, so adorable. Paint around the vertical parts of the lid as a small fairy house and maybe add some clay accents like a chimney? Plop it on a wood plinth with some of those clay pipe mushrooms...
An amazing day along the shore, with some great finds. Take care and thanks for sharing 👍🙏❤️ see you on the new channel
Thank you for taking me on your adventure in my lunch time ! Great finds ❤🦘
So relaxing to watch you both, I always look forward to Sunday. I found a lead musket ball yesterday just out walking in the local park 😃
Oh the stories these bits and pieces could tell. You are so lucky to be able to explore all these places and find so many treasures.
Really wonderful finds. Love all of them.
The oval lid: attached to the wall, it would be a good hanger. If a careful hole was made in a wall, it could be the door to a miniature environment.
I love the round ups that you do I never skip them. They are so interesting
Thank you for making and sharing this lovely video!😊
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
Wonderful ! Love your find the girl on the elephant is so sweet and i think it's strange as well they pop up in the one spot. Also I'm loving your new channel.
Hi! Thanks again for your excellent video adventure))
My favorite thing today is the colorful cover. It looks like a flower bed. My imagination draws a dollhouse with a flower bed with a fountain in the middle.
Also, I'm sure you can create a similar ceramic pot for this cute lid))
Good morning Gail and Alex, I am glad you kept the lid , I say use it as a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter!
Some cool interesting finds today.Nice area too,a bit of everything 🥰
Gorgeous finds love the elephant 🐘 thanks for a lovely video
another lovely lark, thank you for sharing.
I really like floral lid. So glad you kept it. It's so pretty. Also, you found some nice knobs.❤
With the little piece of shamrock that you found...isn't it better to find a bit of luck than no luck? 😊
Enjoyed this hunt! Going along with you both!
Hi Gail and Alex ! Could the tea pot or sugar bowel lid be made into a paper weight if something was done to the bottom of it? Thanks for the videos! It’s nice when you show the views of the area and not just close ups. It’s like a little vacation from here I’m in Pennsylvania US.
Dear elainemarion
👍👌👏 Great idea!
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
Great idea! Would be a beautiful paperweight!
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.
Hi Gail and Alex! Looking forward to jumping onto your new channel and seeing what you have for us there. Excited! ❤😊
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.
Hello ladies ❤ another sweet video this week thank you. I like your treasures this week, the T bar is super cool that Alex found. The half tile is gorgeous I love the colours that Gail found. Can't wait to see the project that you'll be creating with the tiles on your new channel.
And omg all of your little elephant are so sweet! 😮 💙
Have a great week xx
Could you use a stamp to tamp designs into the utensil handles and then bend them into rings to showcase the designs you put on them?
Really nice finds!
An array of evocative finds… and the heartwarming weekly dose of beauty, sanity, and hope💐love🥰
Lovely!
Just found your videos ladies, it’s so exciting to watch all your finds. You could use the lovely lid in the garden. I put my china finds in my flower pots and plants grow around them 😊 x
I couldn't get down on my hands and knees and crawl around like that to save my life. LoL The joy of being young. Love the Videos! All 3 Channels.
Awww….the kitty❤.
❤my favourite interesting clever hard working mum and daughter x
Yet another wonderful video. Nature is so amazingly beautiful. My favorite find has to be the squiggly piece of melted glass. I love melted glass. It's just pretty to look at.
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.
I was so excited to see a video was up great finds .
I actually love the roundups.
I think one of your metal bits is a toy cannon, minus the wheels and cart. Thanks for posting your adventures and thanks for the 2nd channel! It's lovely:)
❤❤❤ your finds on this lark
I’m am so happy to watch both your channels.
You found a lot of things! Yay! ❤️🥳😘
I just love you both! You bring me so much joy! ❤
I always watch the entire video! 🙂 Y'all found lots of neat bits and pieces.
With all the rain we are having, things will be washed up.
I love the end bit,when you show all the treasures youve found.They look so much better once youve cleaned them. Loved the little lead Lion & Elephants❤
What a day of wonderful finds!!!!!❤
the weekend before last we were digging in my backyard..the home dates back to 1917...we felt we were amateur archaeologist with what we were finding...because the property dates back to before local rubbish pickup we were deducing what would have been composted, what would have been incinerated and the rest broken up and used as landfill...we found sections of bottles with raised writing, thus dating it back to a period before labels were printed and stuck on, so, pre 1950's..we were also able to get enough of a name to look it up and find out it was a company that bottled kerosine...it's amazing what one can find in their own backyard...I'd love to do some mudlarking around my suburb, but alas it's not old enough to find anything of interest that would be close to whole...we were finding broken glass, animal bones, broken pottery and shells (food related)
I always stay for the end, since I enjoy seeing the cleaned items and hearing it’s history.
I have several items on my bucket list - one is to visit Iceland, and one is to go out with Gail and Alex!
Love the vlog as usual and just to let you know I don't think any of us turn off before the round up I think we stick with you till the end and are proud to do so
❤❤ Love the beads always!!!
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. 😅
I think the little possible parrot head
..as I first thought as well...may be a koala head ??? Love You Both ..Thank You for sharing your extraordinary Lives!!!❤
Thanks ladies I like the black bead it certainly looks alot like obsidian
Loving today's video and your new channel xx
I have watched all of the Lost Tower Diaries. The Shwoos was my favorite.
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.
Love all the little animals y'all find
What a wonderful video this weekend ! I loved all of the wildflowers, but you forgot to name them for us ! Have a great week from Canada !
The pretty jar lid would make a cute pin cushion. Love your cleverness and love your adventures.
reading the comments, l think people may drop out before the end because they want to find the next video and find out what else has been found, l love your videos and watch them over and over again all day long. you guys are my link to the outside world, you give me more than you would know. l am a disabled lady, with sadness in my heart and tears in my eyes but you change that into happiness l love your videos and l smile as wide as a cheshire cat and laugh as l use to. thank you so very much, love to you both xx here's to the next video!
Wonderful video, so relaxing. I did watch your new channel and must say that you've got another winner. Congratulations 👏🎉 🌻🐕🥰🇺🇸
You could put a sponge or steel wool in the bottom of the lid and use as a scrubber or fill with sponge and then cover that with material and use as a duster for a chalk board. Love watching your channel and am looking forward to watching your new one too.
Thank you both for a great video. What a lot of lovely finds, l always wish l could put my hand through the screen and pick up things I've seen. I enjoyed the first of your Lost Tower videos, and lovely to see the Shwoos. Thanks again......Alioban
Hi hi from Johannesburg south Africa. Love watching your videos and seeing what treasures you find.
Such a great video today. You could put the teapot lids on the wall in the kitchen
Maybe you could mount that pretty lid and hang a necklace or something from it. It’s very pretty
Or upside down to create a wind chime perhaps
Crab apple jelly is great!!! Like those beads ❤
It's called a kisslock closure on a purse, Alex :) And yes you could be right, that little L shaped piece could be the corner of a purse. Those are called purse frames.
Im probably a bit late..
I think a garden wall hung with beautiful lids would be lovely
I have enjoyed your adventures so much! And now there’s another channel! Love it- and ❤from the USA!
hahaha that cute little lion just lyin there! 🦁
Your lid would look great as a fairy house for gardens or planters. Love you videos, thank you!
Lovely wonder along the river bank 🙏 that little lion is so sweet . I’m guessing the field of dreams , would be too water logged ? We will at least have plump blackberries this year ! Thank you as always 🙏
You should make treasure jars with some of your finds. In America, people make junk jars with all kinds of old toys and such. Sell them. The lid could be a know. Love your videos.
For your floral teapot lid you could wrap some wire around the knob and make a double circle at the top of the wire and you have an instant picture holder. Or you could attach a few lids to a length of wood and use it to hang things on. Pinterest has lots of ideas.
Those orange flowers are special
I can imagine you using that teapot lid as the top of the windchime with spoon handles hanging down. Loved the video, as always!
I think the little blue lid would make a charming picture frame. If you have the drill bits to cut an oval in the top and remove the knob, it could hold a beautiful little miniature painting.
