Gorgeous idea and I luckily have loads of natural sea glass. Thanks for the tutorial.
those collages are very cool, but the "sea glass" with the faux copper edging is such a clever idea, they look like pieces getting ready for a stained glass project, only much much easier with the same effect, clever girl.
So I'm watching the video this Saturday morning with great interest when hubs keeps saying "Get dressed! We have to get going and get errands done!" What!!!! Does he just not "get it"? Now adding Pier One to my errands......you, my dear, are causing discord in my house. LOL
Thank you soooooo much. Awesome idea!
In germany its called "Schmutz Radierer" wordly translated dirt-eraser. But I think most ppl know magic eraser.
Awesome tutorial. I had a Jar full of seaglas I collected from the beach and had it sit on a shelf for 3 years. About a few month ago I put it at the bottom of a planter for drainage purposes😓. ... seems like I have to move the plant into another planter to get my seaglas back 😂
well?! what are you waiting for?? go move that plant, Sarah! ;) p.s...its pretty inexpensive, just go get some more =)
Sarah Sadori wow your very lucky to be able to go collect the real stuff. The memories and beauty of doing that would be amazing in itself. Hugs from Mn,USA Sheila
G I R L 😟 go dig up that glass!!!!
Ooh, it just so happens I have some real sea glass. From different beaches round our British coastlines, around the UK. They were kindly gifted from a few friends. They all know I love the stuff. Haha I'm also collecting bits of sea pottery. Pretty pieces that would also make great necklaces or charm bracelets I'm thinking.
I'm going to have to get some guilders wax. Or I'll use some copper foil which will cure the possible sharp edges. I don't remember my sea glass having sharp edges. Suppose it's been tumbled by the sea for a good long time...I'll have to find those pieces pdq. 😁
I love the thought of making jewelry out of this idea. Thanks for sharing Nik. 👌👍😊
LOVE long crafting videos. I can craft while I watch
Love this Nik! I am going shopping right now to buy all the supplies. You sure have inspired me!! Love everything you create. You are so very talented!!
Oh my gosh! I have some sea glass from Nome, Alaska that a friend gave me when I was up there. I’ve been holding it and moving it and trying to figure something worthwhile to do w it. THANKS, THANKS, THANKS.
Honestly, the one you shown with the boat, the piece under the glass looks exactly like it's just underwater. its just amazing.
Absolutely adore this project!! I've seen people do soldering, but this project is something I KNOW I could do! Thank you so much for sharing this project, and don't worry about how long the video is because your teaching style is awesome!! I could watch you for hours!! I LOVE these so much!!
Your voice and your conversation is so pleasant. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You qualify as one of my favorite UA-cam University profs.
Beautiful craft!
Wrong Angela 🤣🤣
I thought you had soldered these pieces! Wow! Just Wow!!! 😍😍😍
I'll be trying these in the new year.
Nik .... This tutorial is is extremely useful and inspiring! Whenever I view one of your DIY videos, I find myself creating and loving the process! You are a true artist and very generous to your viewers! Thanks for always sharing your work with us!
omg so beautiful and so relatively simple! love it
This was an absolutely amazing video 🥰 I have an abundance of beach glass and am definitely going to try this! I don't have the wax so I will probably try paint on edges or a paint pen! I'm so excited
Loved watching your creative thought process unfold, you are an amazing artist! Thank you for sharing you are just so inspiring x 😀
Hi Nik thank you so much for sharing a wonderful embellishment idea. You truly are inspiring in all you do. I enjoy seeing everything that you make and all your videos. I'm limited right now due to bad health in having time to create but when I do, I will share what I've made from this idea. Thanks again, hugs xx
oh Fiona, you are so very kind, thank you, sweetie! I hope you are feeling better very soon ***Hugs!***
Love what you showed us. I have to try that.
I have used sea glass with images for a long time in other projects, but this is everything! And I JUST got done some of that wax in gold, so I will definitely use that on my edges. I am in awe of your work.
I love Sea Glass, this is a wonderful project.💘 TY for sharing this Awsome project.❤
love love love this!!!! Thank you!
No, thank you for making this excellent and informative video! I love watching this kind of video showing economical embellishments we can personalize to use for our work. You, my friend, are a most excellent teacher!!
Love it😍 I have done this before many years ago. HAPPY you posted I had forgotten this. Have to do it again. Thank you for sharing 🤗
The cheese cloth makes it look just like a fish net would. AWESOME tutorial, TFS! So many ideas are flooding my brain right now, like beaded frame for them or wire wrapped. Heck I could even chain maille around those little beauties! Thanks for the brain stimulation. LOL
At first glance I thought you had soldered the edges. Lovely surprise to see that it was wax. Heading out to see if I can find it locally. Absolutely love this idea. Already had a bag of this glass in my stash. Love when you do a DIY video.
p.s...I think you could also dab on a bit of metallic acrylic paint, too =)
I love the idea of using the sea glass and I actually have some that I collected on a beach that came from the riverboats throwing bottles overboard in the days before littering was seen as an issue! You do have wonderful ideas Nik!
Oh wow! That is just beautiful Nik!!! Thanks for the great video
Awesome idea can't wait to try it
You can also do transparent polymer clay, or even liquid polymer clay to make your own "sea glass".
oh very good to know! thank you, Angie!
These are beautiful, Nik! Thank you!
What a absolutely brilliant idea!!! I have tons and tons of sea glass. I am blessed to live in an area and have visited places that allowed me to collect sea and lake glass my whole life. I have used it in many crafty projects and jewelry. Thank you for inspiring me to pull my glass out and revisit even more possibilities!! Bravo !!!
oooo real sea glass??? I bet that will look fab!
I absolutely love this! I’ve placed my first order with you for some vintage images. I can’t wait to get started! Thank you for sharing this!
How beautiful!!! I definitely want to try this!!! Thank you for such a great tutorial!!! 🖤🦋😎🎉
So much fun watching you play with your sea glass !!! Love it ... what a awesome way of laying and using some of our " Stuff " we have in our stash. Thanks very much for this video had a great time with you !!!
Awsome idea, thanks for sharing your wonderful talents!!!
Those are so beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing .
Three minutes in and I already love this!
I absolutely love this idea! I'm going to use this on my next project.
Great idea - what beautiful results! Thanks so much for sharing. I'll be out looking for sea glass now! 😀
What a brilliant idea. It really looks like stained glass soldered around the edges. I live minutes from the beach and I see lots of shells but never any sea glass. This is so much like it. Tfs
"Who doesn't love old dirty cheesecloth?" Love your videos, tutorials and journals! You are so talented, creative and fun!
Those are gorgeous! I gotta try that. Thanks for sharing
Stunning! I’ll have to add to my to do list ! 💕
so beautiful!! thanks for sharing your talent.
Fabulous items! Love it. Soooooo simple.
This video just rocked my world! I am totally new to creating shabby book-journals and WOW! This gorgeous "graphic embellished" sea glass technique is amazing. I love the concept of creating tons of layers with things that are odd and beautiful. It was an awakening -- like a kid learning to read! All I can say is thanks for sharing the techniques that show how to create one of my own!
hi Merrliee, you are most welcome, my dear! So glad you enjoyed the project =)
This looks beautiful and I'd love to try this and even let muy kids try it out with me. You are incredibly creative & talented, thank you for sharing!
There are some great ideas in this video. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas with us.
This is right up my ally. I love sea glass! I like that the images are not perfectly centered in the glass and that they have a somewhat soft foggy look to them. So artsy and beautiful. Thanks for sharing this little project Nik. :D
Lovely idea--thanks for sharing how to do it!
Love this idea! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning! Very beautiful and creative! I love the collage pocket so much. Tfs, Loes
I love how the sea glass turned out !!!! Wow,,,you are awesome !!! Your work is very inspiring !!! I really enjoy watching your videos and hope to be able to get one of our beautiful Loaded up Journals soon !!!!! TFS
These are beautiful Nik! I get so much inspiration from you! Thank you for sharing! Hugs, Kathy
Cool idea.....i went to Walmart and found some sea glass (we don't have Hobby Lobby, Michaels, or Pier One in my town). It was really crappy sea glass. Actually it was glass that was tinted with a wash of blue and turquoise paint of some kind. You couldn't see the images through the glass. Just some advice for those of you who want to try this!
Thanks for the great ideas!! Will try this!
love this idea. When I first saw this, I thought you had to solder them, but this is much easier and looks great.
Love these!! Thank you Nik for the idea, will definitely be making some for my journals! :)
Was great tutorial! I handpaint Seaglass. Mine is from, living in Maine, Mass., Living on East coast. Growing up on West coast, and Lake Michigan. Also Sea Pottery! It makes you feel in Awe, that it was part of something from??? Love this idea too! More please! 😉🤗😊
Wow! Que c'est donc beau!! Beautiful! Merci de partager.
I love these. What a great idea
Love this idea, I have a collection of sea glass, so will be giving this a try, thanks so much for a great tutorial! Kim :)
Hi Nik, fabulous idea & very inspiring. Thank you. 😊
Thank you for the inspiration, Nik. I admire all of your journals and tutorials. You are such an inspiration. I have done something similar for ornaments, but I used glass slides and soldering. This would definitely be easier and more organic. This really adds another dimension to your work. Love it! Thank you for sharing
thank you! It makes my heart happy that you are enjoying my channel =)
Nik the Booksmith kullandiginiz spreyin ve yapistiricinin turkce aciklamasini yazarmisiniz..birde ilk olarak camlari ne ile sildiniz alkol mu...tesekkurler...😇😇😇
Loved this idea. I've got some lovely sea glass pieces, I've been saving for just this kind of project. Guess what I'll be making with it this coming week end. Thanks for sharing this.
Also the eraser you used, we call putty rubbers, here in the UK.
No smirking. Lol.
Thank you for sharing this idea!
Love this. Love all of your videos. I do not live near the ocean but I wanted to do a search on sea glass and where it comes from! How interesting!!!! It’s the ocean recycling the crap us humans throw into it. Mind. Is. Blown. Lol.
yep, give the earth a chance and it can transform some trash into treasure...we certainly have an amazing planet. I wish humankind would treat her more gently. Thank you ;)
Like your class ideas, I would use then for jewelry as well as other things! Thank you for another great video thanks for sharing!!! Liz x
Great inspiration thanks so much.....you rock!!!
I am CRAZY about these!
Marvelous, thank you Nik, a really clever idea! ❤️
thank you, Miss Wendy ;)
Hey lady! Love this idea... I did something kind of similar with these glass mosaics I had some odd years ago but the sea glass is brilliant! Ill have to give this a try!! Thanks for making awesome videos!
Awwww....Im fangirling a little bit here, thank you for taking the time to watch and comment! I love your crafts ;)
It’s called a kneaded eraser. You can find them in the fine art section near the drawing pencils.
I just love, love this idea. Thank You sooooo much for sharing!!!
You are my idol 😜
Deena❤️
This is a great idea! I just subscribed and added this video to my Clever Craft Techniques playlist!
LOVE THIS IDEA!! Thank you so much :)
I thought it was solder also, sweet that it is colored wax accent. Wonderful idea, I am going out and get some sea glass and try this. Thank you so much for the demo.
Great idea!
Beautiful x
Great video. Thanks for the inspiration to use up some sea glass from the beach in Haines, Alaska! :)
Great tutorial thanks
Very pretty love this ideal. TFS
Awesome Video!! Definitely wanna try to make some of these. Thank You for so many ideas, that got my brain really working overtime w/ even more ideas. LOL
I Love how you take the time to teach us stuff like this. You're Amazing & Always so much Fun to Watch!!😉🙂
Take Care Nik .. hugz, Jill 🤗😊 tfs
😍 I am making these today. Bon x
Love this, thank you!!!!
I love it all
Thank you ... this was amazing!!!!
Brilliant!! I'm thinking of Tim Holtz fragments and Finnabair patina paste kit--until I get some sea glass. If I'm successful, I'll post on the group FB page. I think, as well, that, instead of drilling a hole (which I would never attempt to do on something so small!!), you could attach a regular bail to it to make a pendant necklace. Thanks for this video!!!
I love your creativity brain😄 now I have more ideas to try out. 😃
Hi from the Netherlands 👋
Yes we use magic erasers here in Australia, good stuff
You could use felt to dab on the wax. Or maybe use some gold leaf.
super idea
Ooh la la! I should send you some beach glass. I found some once, several years ago, that had that honeycomb texture on it, some other that had a layer of, like chicken wire down in the midddle. It was so unusual that of course I kept it but do I know where it is now? No, but it is somewhere in my ‘stash’. I absolutely adore your embellishments, Nik - very cool!
Oh I love these xx tfs
These are sooo pretty! Tfs hugs Renee
Awesome
Here in England we call them magic eraser.. Love love your videos Tfs x
omgosh I love that you take things that are so old and say "I'm just gonna rip her face off for this" haha!!! I'm on my way to try to bid on a veryyy old bible and when I saw it, all I could think was "I could rip this up and us it for so much!" So many pages to rip...I can't wait! My husband said "your seriously going to rip a bible up?" Why yes! Yes I am. And now I have sea glass to think of gluing it to! Love this vid!! I"m also bidding on old victorian lace and thought "I could cut this into pieces and use it on this..and that...and that" Oh the lovely irreverence! So nice to live outside of the box :)
just rip its face off! our new motto hahhahaa!
haha! Clearly we are creative soul mates :)
this is very cool Nik. tfs
Your GREAT!!!
