I’m just sitting here trying to imagine what the original artists would think of your beautiful work! I’ll bet he or she never imagined what you’ve done with the designs when they made those old pipes. I’m sure they would be proud.🐝❤️🤗
Yes, wonder who they were xx
@@NorthernMudlarks 🤗
I agree!! What lovely Recreations!
👏🏻👏🏻💕🤗
@@sherylwheelon9679 Yes they are!🐝❤️🤗
@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado 🤗
I’m an art teacher in Michigan in the US, we have more ceramic teachers who get silicosis of the lungs from not wearing respirators. You are doing the right thing. What a great example for all of us….
I work with clay. Ive never worn a mask as i didnt know about this. Thanks for the warning.x
Yes, not good to breath in! xx
"I'm a ceramic artist"
"ooh, what do you make?"
"dust, mainly"
It is a real problem. I even have the same respirator!
And it's not just the clay, the glazes potentially have some toxic minerals in them too and tend to be crushed even finer.
Lundin, as in Peter Lundin ?
Omg I didn't even know about this thank you for the information
What a fun surprise in my feed! Lovely!
It would be fun to make a board game “the marvelous world of mudlarking” and have those as some of the game pieces!
Hope you enjoy! And yes! They would make brilliant gaming pieces! X
Great idea!
or make a mosaic, they look so tactile
I was thinking the same thing delightful little game pcs!!!
They would be very fun for checkers 🥰
OMG...this was outstanding on so many levels. The idea was remarkable. The process of how to design was brilliant. The choices of colors made the impressions almost look like toile fabric...especially the schooners! Ladies, you have done such a great endeavor. I feel so blessed to have been allowed to share the process...I can't believe it!?!
Your videos are high quality and your home has so much charm and serenity. Thank you a million times. I had to under go surgery...yuck! I am having a wonderful recovery and haven't had to use any pain killers until today...break through pain involving muscle tissue on my left side only. This was just the right medicine....yay, Team Alex and Gail!
I pray for a speedy and complete recovery for you, Juanita. : ) I agree Gail and Alex videos, along with several other channels in the mudlarking community, are always soothing to the soul. : ).
Thank you so much! Hope you feel better soon! xx
Something therapeutic about working with clay. Specially when you “thwap” it on the parchment paper. 😂
We love watching potters working xx
Frankly I was a little skeptical about how interesting the outcome of this project would be. Wow! The finished products were beautiful. Your creative concept was brilliant! You've made such wonderful historical connections. Artists spent time so many years ago designing their ideas to place on ordinary, disposable objects that, at the time, may not have even been appreciated. Your efforts have now honored those men and women from the past with such beautiful new objects that will now live on for many more years into the future. You both should be proud of your work.
Well Said! : )
Thank you so much - glad you enjoyed it! it's always a risk when doing a new project as to how it will turn our! xx
Never underestimate the NM’s
Thank you for bringing these pipe bowls to life through a process that respects and celebrates the art of old and new.
Thanks for your lovely comment! xx
There aren't too many of us who spell Karyn like we do 😁
Craft ittttt! ❤️🙌
I can literally hear that in you voice 🤣
This is a treat for a Wednesday evening. x
Great to have you watching! xx
I love those. The thistle, the little rose, the fish made from the “scaled” pipe, the Shamrock, the ship, can’t even pick a favorite! They would make awesome pendants or keychains
Thank you! We can't choose a favourite either - and the possibilities for their use are endless! xx
I loved the red anchor and the fish, also Nicholas pipe ❤️❤️❤️
@marilyndreamwalkermejorado1208I agree. 💯
@@tommy69693👍
I so enjoyed this!! The music is an added bonus!!
We’re so glad to hear! Xx
I agree! You make some excellent choices in music and I tend to Shazam them and add then to my Spotify playlists. 💖💕
If you had put holes in you could make a gorgeous wind chime lovely ideas ladies
Brilliant idea! 😯
Or add holes so you can put ribbon through and use them as Christmas tree decorations 😄
Or make them into pendants!
Or a chandelier!
This was such a brilliant idea, making ceramics from pipe bowls. They turned out really well. Great to see you midweek and your garden looked lovely. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! xx
I'm so happy you did a crafting video! I just love watching you two create, you are such talented artists. :-)
Thank you! xx
1st to watch these wonderful people make life a much better place to be.

Glad you enjoyed it! xx
New life for old pipes. They’re beautiful, just amazing. Thank you for sharing.
I like that the craft talent of those who made the original pipes are seen in your new art impressions. Back in the day, I wouldn't have thrown away those creations, but I'm glad those pipe smokers did ---for you to find and then create anew.
Thank you! xx
Well done! Didn't know there were that many clay pipe designs. What a success. 💗
Oh...what a delight!! Alex and Gail they are beautiful 😍 Thank you for making this EXTRA video for a stormy Wednesday here in Tennessee. Be Blessed!
You two Ladies are so Inspiring. I'm impressed at the clarity of detail in the pressed images from the pipe bowls. Was that flow blue art technique? The flowered pipe bowl Nicola gave you is super sweet. Watching Art flow from your fingers, along with the music you choose for the background is always relaxing to me. I Love the unique, delightful Art surprises each larker brings to the community. : )
Thank you! xx
Gail and Alex thank you so much for your excellent video. You are just so talented at so many crafts and the end result is always stunning. I loved all of the impressions and the colours you chose. So interesting and relaxing to watch, the music you had as beautiful. Take care ❤️🇦🇺🦘 xxx
I've always loved the tiny works of art on the pipes. So pleased to see them standing on their own. They will make beautiful pendants or whatever you decide do with them! Michigan fan 🐦🇺🇸
Yes, the little motifs are tiny works of folk art in themselves - we love them! xx
YAY! Loved seeing the process for these artworks. (Had seen a peek on Instagram.) You both have such expressive and creative hands. If you could have heard me through the whole video, I was saying 'Oh my' and 'Wow! over and over. What an incredible project. Loved it. Karen xx
So glad you enjoyed it - we had a lot of fun! xx
What a pleasant surprise, a second upload for the week. Thank you so much, very enjoyable.
The blue ships are stunning.
As are all your designs.
Who knew pipes were so artistic..
What an amazing way to share the beauty of art on the pipes! I really appreciated how your video showed all the steps. You two are very crafty and I love watching your videos! From Kelowna British Columbia Canada
Thank you! xx
I marvel at your patience with some of these tasks, but it always appears to be worth it. Thank you for uploading.
Thank you for watching! xx
Those tiny pieces like the fishes and leaves and crowns, harps, clover leaf and hearts can be made into a very cute pendants! I love them all, Gail and Alex ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you - video of us making things with these coming up in the future! xx
Mini masterpieces! What a lovely video to watch. And amazing for you to use/honor these pipe bowls in this way. You are both so talented.
It’s deeply satisfying to watch your clever fingers creating these adorable little keepsakes giving new life and meaning to the forgotten pictures of the past.
Well that cheered up my Wednesday evening! Amazing!
Amazing to here! Hope you enjoyed! 🥰
You almost had me in tears with this one, ladies. ❤️ Oh, that doll head with her denture crown is fabulously weird.
You guys are brilliant. I just love everything you do. What a gift you have and blessing to share this with each other.
So talented you both are ! ! ! This was a fantastic video. Took my mom for biopsy today and had her watch and it calmed her nerves thanks. Blessings
What a lovely surprise to see the cool little clay impressions of long ago. Music was so beautiful. Great to see the artwork of pipes brought to. life.
Thank you! xx
I loved this. You two are so creative and put such hard work into little things. The details are amazing. Love!!! It was also nice seeing the hens, cat and brown shwoo!
💓 you never cease to amaze me with your wonderful Talent Gail and Alex. May the Lord continue blessing you🙏🙋🏼🇺🇸
Your work is never a disappointment 🤩 omg there absolutely beautiful. I can just imagine them being created into necklace pendants!! The anchor & crown design are my favourite 🤩😇. Happy hunting & crafting Gail & Alex. 🙂⚓️
Thanks Adam! Lots of luck! xx
Absolutely beautiful art pieces you both made. This video really made my night watching all the imprints on the pipe bowls come to life. Thank you xxx
What a wonderful way of preserving little art treasures of history! I love it! 👏 And they would make fun gaming pieces!
How very clever, crafty artists you are. I can now appreciate the designs on those clay pipes. They do have some lovely designs. Love all the colors. I especially like the fish made from the scale like pipe design.
Thank you, the designs on these old pipes are many and varied - always exciting to find a new design! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks
I cannot find your Etsy shop.🥺
Can you please drop the link.
Love from Illinois.
@@darlenegreer7993 Link is in our video descriptions or on our abut page. We don't have much in there at the moment but hope to update it soon x
I've watched Nicola pull untold numbers of pipes from the foreshore and never thought of colors. So glad you see it.
You're both so clever! The pipe art looks amazing! ❤😊
The quality of some of the designs on those pipes is amazing & the work you have done using them really brings that out so well & makes them more visible than ever.
Fantastic! It's so strange not hearing Alex make a funny pun, but I loved this film! You are brilliant craftspeople and I especially love the plant subject ones 😍
Thank you! We want these videos to simply be about the craft. Nice and relaxed ☺️
@@NorthernMudlarks it really was relaxed! Such quality crafts you two make as well.
These are lovely! As I was watching, I had another idea. You could use molds of these as cookie presses.
I got a couple of cookie mold carved out of wood. Would love to see cookies made with these pipe designs.
That was way more relaxing than I thought, loved the finished product! Now I need to see what they become, some awesome jewelry, perhaps?
We have plans! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks yeeeeeeeeeee!
Oh I love these ladies.. and also didn't expect to see a new video on a Wednesday evening.
I'm so sorry about white Shwoo BTW.. brown Shwoo looked a little bit lost in the garden, bless xx
OMG 🤗🤗😘😘😘 what joy!! I have missed your crafting videos so much. What a great way to preserve the pipe patterns, absolutely wonderful. Thank you both 😊 and further thanks for the midweek video surprise.
Beautiful and what patience you both have. I loved the colours that were produced and the patterns were so detailed. Thank you xxx
Who in their wildest dreams but you would transfer the beauty of the art on old pipes found while mud larking and create these amazing pieces of art on clay? Genius. Question: Are you able to reconstitute the clay powder from your sanding and make new clay? I absolutely love the intricate detail in your artwork!
Thank you so much! We will use the clay powder as grog in another project xx
Another WONDERFULLY FUN and entertaining… inspiring video with beautiful photography. You gals bring joy/ thank you so much!!!
I loved the idea of using the pipes to make the ornaments.It gave me so many ideas for things to do.
Treasure hunters with a heap of creativity, bringing history to life! Wonderful...
I had assumed from my glance at the thumbnail that these were going to be ground down found pottery pieces. This is even cooler! 😁
Glad you liked it! xx
Beautiful!!!!!
Love those. Made me miss the days when I used to do ceramics.
Wow. Those turned out really nice. You are both such talented ladies. I can't decide which one is my favorite.
Aw thank you very much! 😁
What a great way to celebrate an old folk art form!
a second life, after so many years. wonderful.
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE MUSIC!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness! Ladies I had no idea the beauty you could create from pipes. I should have known though. You are both so very talented artists. The people who purchase these will be very lucky. Please stay safe and be careful! ❤
What a wonderful idea! They turned out great. They look like they might make nice wee tiles or fine jewelry. Love your larking and crafting videos. Thank you so much.
Thank you! xx
I love your art projects, as well as the peaceful background music and serene scenic images often interspersed throughout your videos. Watching you two always brings a smile to my face. Thanks!
I live how you are preserving the past and giving a not to the artisans of the day.
Very nice pieces!!
HI GAIL AND ALEX!! HOW LOVELY THOSE PICTURES ON THE PIPE BOWLS ARE. LOVELY CLAY PICTURES YOU DID. ALL BEAUTIFUL. I WONDER WHAT KIND OF MAN SMOKED ON THE ONES WITH THE FLOWERS ON THEM? JUST BEAUTIFUL FINDS. LOTS OF CRAFTY PEOPLE OUT THERE MAKING THESE BACK IN THE DAYS. WELL THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TALENTS AND CRAFTS ADVENTURES. PLEASE STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY. 🙏💓💕❤💗💜🙏
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE watching you turn your finds into beautiful treasures.
Ingenious use of the pipe carvings, love them.
This is the most beautiful celebration of history. Well done ladies!
The two of you are so talented, great mid week video ❤️
How talented you two are!
I make clay things. I LOVE clay things. This is sooooooooo favorite content ever!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I find tiny, precise squeeze bottles very useful for detailed glazing and underglazing.) I think I love the sailing ship best.
Clay is our new love! It’s it so nice! X
So delightful! I love your creativity and inspiring projects and enjoy every video you create! Thank you! - Southern Utah - USA
Absolutely beautiful 🙏
Fabulous art! Good job! Lovely to see those cute little paint pots in use. Great video, thank you!😀
Those pieces came out Fabulous very sweet!!
Great job ladies ❤
What a creative way to use the pipes to preserve the patterns of the past!
Absolutely amazing I love 💕 it girl's. You gal's are wonderful. This ole Tennessee gal looks forward to seeing you guys every week. I just love everything 💖 you all do. Really wish I could go on some of your trips with you guys. Looking forward to seeing more of your shows.
Such a lovely way to keep history alive
wonderful tiles you made! I belong to a pipe smoking club, and to have all that artwork mounted in a shadowbox, would be amazing. I know you probably meant them for necklaces and things, but .... another option for you.
Yayyyyy watching now
These are all so lovely! I am particularly fond of those thistles!
This channel is a gem. My favorite (favourite for you) corner of the internet!
Loved them all you make it look so easy but Mick would need a mask for the camera with all that dust ,Mick loved the ship one x
Thanks guys! Mick need to get crafting with clay!! Our camera is already knackered lol 😂
You brought these images to life! For some odd reason my fave is the red long hand. And it’s crazy how intricate the ship turned out and the Nicola pipe flowers are so pretty. You are true artists
I love them all! It was nice seeing the chickens and the schwoos. And the kitty. I’ve missed them!
What a beautiful project! Giving a nod to the past by creating new and lovely pieces is such an act of love and respect. The final pieces come out so well, and I enjoyed seeing the process. That pipe from Nicola is amazing, and provided great molds. Very difficult to choose a favorite, so I will simply say thanks for sharing:)
You amaze me every time you do something new.
I wear an respirator when ever I sand any dust making substance. Our lungs are very delicate. I have family on my husbands side that died of coal dust in the lungs, and his father from ore dust in the steel mill. So glad to see you wear them and protect yourselves. Also, such beautiful little worry stones, ornaments, gifts you made with the impression on clay from the pipes.
Well chosen accompanying music - loved it. Some nice artwork based on, of all things, old clay pipes. Well done and most impressive!
Oh my goodness those little tablets are beautiful! You can really see the details of the designs that were missed before. I love the ones with the flowers, and you have painted them all beautifully. Brilliant and unexpected video, thank you Ladies 😀 x
You girls never cease to amaze me! They're absolutely beautiful.
You two never cease to amaze with your talents and imagination. What a beautiful collection you have created. Nice see brown shoot keeping an eye on you. Thanks for the lovely mid week treat.
That was wonderful. Such a super idea, these pipe bowls were the best ones for the job. Loved the thistle from Nicola, and the ship, oh and the fish, all of them really 😄 I was glad to see the masks on, that fine clay dust is dangerous. Thank you so much, l lovecwatching your talent at work 💕xx Alioban
Thank you so much! xx
Video is really lovely, and the outcome was amazing. Thank you
