i’m in complete awe of your ability to capture the essence of Dickensian horror. well done!
With artistic genius and fantastic creativity, the lowly pipe bowls were transformed into the spirits of Christmas past, present and future. Kudos, Gail and Alex. I can’t wait to see how you will top this, but top it you will. Looking forward to your 2023 videos.
Aw, thank you so much! xx
This was delightful watching your clever art using a story of the centuries. I always enjoy your searching and finds. I never tire of your find clay pipes. Happy New Year!
Outstanding work ♥️ congratulations 🎉
Pipe bowl’s and brushes, I have never seen anything like this done anywhere! The uniqueness of this compilation is incredible, you brought back the story (A Christmas Carol) to life of pipe bowl’s and paint brushes. These were such a blessing for me to see. Gail and Alex I couldn’t tell you how it’s done, these need to be copyrighted and put on display somewhere. Your story on doing this precious work for the public to see. I know you have your UA-cam channel, but maybe a magazine or newspaper would publish this. I truly love all you do and want the very best for you. 💕💕💕💗💗💗
Thank you for creating these perfect representations of my favourite story, A Christmas Carol. You've done well, Alex and Gail!
Best for 2023! xx Karen
Y'all did such a great job. You both are musicians at making these items out of pipe bulbs. Just LOVELY!
You girls leave me speechless. You absolutely brought to life one of the most wonderful Tales of the Christmas season! Every time I watch the magic you create, it warms my soul. It brings to mind feelings of love, care and compassion. Of warmth, family and generosity. Things I often feel are lost in today's society. God bless you both and thank you, thank you, thank you, for helping me feel again! Larry Vaught, Oregon U.S.
You ladies are amazing, these are unique one-of-a-kind ornaments.
You are both an amazing artist/crafter and accomplished storyteller. I love watching you create your tiny masterpieces.
You take something old and broken and turn it into something wondrous! Totally brilliant! I absolutely adore your channel! It gives me such pleasure and longing to visit your land!
The music is superb.... a perfect compliment. It is mesmerizing to watch you create the characters and listen to excerpts of A Christmas Carol. Wonderful video!
The two of you are amazing: you captured the feeling of Christmas and history of Dickens literature in your wonderful art and story telling. The music completed everything. Thank you for this project and video. Greetings from The Netherlands.
Dear lovely Northern Mudlarking Ladies.
Oh WOW! 👍👌👏 The whole video is like a fairytale and definitely a piece of art. The really well chosen great music made me feel lighter, almost like hovering above ground.
Very well done again and as always. A nearly unbelievable transformation of the old and dirty pipe bowls! Congrats for having all these skills.
Thanks a lot for making explaining recording editing uploading and sharing.
Best regards, luck and health in particular.
So good to hear some of Dicken's tale and to see you creative depictions. Happy Christmas!
Oh my!! How wonderful!! Thanx for sharing these. This has been my favorite Christmas story my whole life. My favorite movie is the one with Alastair Sim.
Carol of the bells....memories. Mum passed December 19 at 98. She was artistic like yourselves. Thanks for a smile
Amazing. Wishing my Mom was still with me so we could do Christmas crafts together. She would have loved doing something similar.
So fun! Just what I needed. They are all gorgeous, Scrooge is particularly special, but Alex's Xmas Future is the most awesome of all. You ladies are fantastically talented, and I love that you share that with us.
Your artistry knows no bounds. Merry Christmas to you both and happy larking in 2023.
You are so talented in so many areas that I don’t know how you decide what to spend your time doing. You are professional mudlarkers, film makers, storytellers, visual artists and much more rolled into one. Thank you for everything you share. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
100% agree!! Couldn’t have said it better ❤
We are humbled by you generous comment, thank you! xx
@@rockersfromaz3001 Thank you! xx
Absolutely fabulous!! Love Love Love them. You are so talented ✨
I enjoyed it ladies..
My artistic skill ends with stick figures , so its nice to see your vision of Christmas ghosts..
These are so clever and make perfect decorations. I could watch you both for hours... very calming x thank you for sharing your craft xxx merry Christmas!
Dickens' characters look exactly as you can imagine when you listen to the story. What a fun idea. Good continuation!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
These are amazing and makes me think of the wonderful pride of craftsmanship in everything made back in Dickens' day. It is a sad truth that everything made now-a-days, won't be around 30+ years from now. Thank you for sharing your beautifully creative work with us!!!
Lovely music track! Those who smoked the pipes would be delighted with your art I believe.
Absolutely wonderful. Your videos are so magical. Clay pipes are well used, such talent you both have. Merry Christmas!
You are both so talented and imaginative! What an enthralling video, just filled with the spirit of the season and your own spirited creativity! Thank you for such a delightful entertainment!
Thank you so much - you are so welcome! xx
A Christmas Carol was my first read of a Charles Dickens writings. I live in Portsmouth where he once lived, his Birthplace in 1812. My son lives just along from his house that is now a Museum. Bah Humbug! :0)
Wonderful rendition of Dickens characters.
Stunning! I think next year's pipe makes could be the 12 days of Christmas!
Toujours un Moment de Détente🎬Beau Travail comme d'habitude🔬🍀🎄🍾Alex France🙏🌌
It’s wrong that there’s not a word that can adequately say how stunning these are! ❤️ just too cool for words, hope you had as great a Christmas as these pieces of art bring joy to your fans! Take care girls! ❤️❤️🥰🥰
Those characters on the pipe bowls are amazing. You both are so artistic and clever to do this. Hope you aren't snowed in and still have electricity there. Thank you and have a great new year
Happy Christmas Gail and Alex. Thanks for all your work mudlarking, making and bringing us videos 💚

Gail, I really admire your steady hand with a paintbrush!
I would like to save this to replay over and over again. The music, narration (such a lovely reading❤) cinematography and last but definitely not least your lovable characters on those clay pipes we watched you find! Full circle. Same time each year I would like to play it again. Now I can watch 3 channels, thank you for the uplifting content. 🌸V
I acted in this play at our local theatre, many years ago. It’s certainly a favourite! Fantastic job! Merry Christmas!
Charming….and if I remember, next year, I’m going to make, “Spirit of Christmas Pasties”!
Merry Christmas ladies. I’m first to push the 👍 and now I’ll watch….love your adventures 👏👏👏👏
I know ahead of time that I'm going to like these videos so I also hit the thumbs up button before I even start watching. Greetings and good wishes for you in the coming New Year from here in New Bern, North Carolina.
Watching them come to life was amazing. You are both very artistic and what a great idea to use up found clay pipes. Xx
New life for old pipes. Your craftsmanship is just amazing 👏👏
Wonderful video Ladies! I love this story and I love the faces you created, you really are clever! 😃👻💝x
These look brilliant with their crackly glaze!
My favourite Christmas story, I love your little pipe bowl characters, I have a lot of videos to catch up on.
Wow. Who would think of this as an art project… Only you ladies AMAZING 😊
Scrooge is my favorite story I watched every version of it each year & have never read the book but I need to !! I bet you read it to Alex when she was a child . Gale you read it so well you are so talented !!!❤
Wow, they turned out gorgeous!!! Y'all are both truly talented!!!
Award winning. Bravo!
'A Christmas Carol' is my favorite Christmas story. I try to watch a play or movie every year. Thank you for providing it for me this year in such a creative way. I wish you a wonderful 2023 filled with new adventures 😊
Outstanding and stunning. Great work you two!
If everyone read Dickens' 'A Christmas Carol' every Christmas, the world would be a better place! Thank you girls for sharing... A Merry Christmas one and all! Would be very interested to know what paints and glaze you used... you got a really nice finish on the pipe bowls. Totally brilliant idea🙂
Wow! Those are amazing 👏
You're both very talented Ladies xx
You ladies are so very talented, truly awesome work. Thank you, Happy Holidays
Very well done, also enjoyed the mushrooms that you did quite a while back, do not remember how long ago.
These are great! You both have such wonderful talent! A Christmas Carol has always been my favorite, especially the one with George C. Scott as Scrooge. I really enjoyed watching you create these!
Oh wow !..what a clever way to use up the clay pipes..These look fabulous,a bit creepy,but so is the story really. I love the idea and these too…I hope you are having a Happy Christmas ..Love n Light 🥰
This is pure genius! I'm in awe at your imagination and artistic skill. I loved this video! 👍
I love your channel and am now addicted to watching as much as I can. Sometimes when you scan the ground or stone I’m so sure I see something but it probably wasn’t anything or you would have found it. Thank you so much.
Beautifully made figures and a well made video as always. Have a wonderful holiday season from Gail, Alex and Patrick in Seattle.
Blessed New Year to You! Darren Marler narrated this story recently on yt. We like "Magoos Christmas," a good cartoon adaptation as well.
What an AH-MAZING idea. I absolutely love these ornaments.
Bravo! Ladies! The characters are amazing.❤❤
Greetings of the season! 🎄⭐️❤️
Love them! They will look lovely on your tree.
I would love to see your Mudlarking ornaments sometime on your tree. I'm sure it is beautiful!
These are superb, exquisite representations of those time-honoured characters. You both are so incredibly artistic. If anyone is ever able to make a silk purse out of a sow's ear, it will be one or the other of you two. 🤣🤣 This video was so inspiring that I'm going to make a cup of tea and then watch the old black & white version of A Christmas Carol on UA-cam. 😁 See you next time. 😊🤗👍
Wonderful! Best season's greetings all!
Just wonderful. What a great way of re-purposing pipe bowls. i bet you have lots of ideas to take it further. Alice in Wonderland comes to my mind. The Classics in Clay.
Love, love, love them! And thank you for the lovely Dickens storytelling!
Such a joy to watch great use of the clay pipes from something old to something new cant wait to see what you make next
MY GOODNESS, YOU TWO ARE CRAZY TALENTED!!!!. Those little dudes are insane, beautiful, amazing. I'm almost speechless at how gorgeous they are. Best way to honour the pipe bowl with Dickens characters. Who comes up with these amazing ideas. Then to paint such a detailed little face is definitely a special gift. Thankyou both for sharing yr awesome mudlarking adventures and all yr upcycling. Lots of love from Monika in Australia 💕🌻😊
Those are awesome! Another group could be the 7 dwarfs
Wow ! you two are both so talented. The book you were using was the same that I used at school, the art work was from the original. Thank you for a lovely
season. Happy New Year. from NZ look forward to seeing yoi both next year.
Those are precious! MERRY CHRISTMAS NORTHERN MUDLARKS!
I am new subscriber to both your channels. I found the mudlarking one first, but was drawn to this one to see what you make with all your treasures. You have made new treasures with your found treasures. I am in awe. Watching you create the characters from my most beloved Christmas story was pure magic!! Thank you. You are a joy to watch both of you.
