How can I buy some beads or seaglass from you?
“It’s got a funny glob on it”
“Haven’t we all”
Words of wisdom
Caught that too, very wise young lady
They sound like two little girls ! Very happy little girls .
Gail, please wear your wonderful hair up or at least away from the flame! But your hands say thank you for wearing the gloves! Wonderful work.
The beads are GORGEOUS!!! What a delightful way to repurpose and redeem broken glass 💞
OMG ladies, you have excelled yourselves! The beads are stunning! What a wonderful video, I will never look at a shard of old glass in the same way ❤❤❤ x
I Love this Mother daughter, duo, you two are so creative, I remember when your Mother made her daughter, you. A ring, from ruby, or garnet it was so sweet
I am a lamp worker and you really should have didymium glasses, it will protect your eyes but the main reason is to see what you are doing. The blue violet color filters out the orange flare from the glass melting. You might want to try working those pinks really far out in your flame and it will be less likely to burn or turn gray. I was told the reason that pinks are problematic is because of the gold content. Lastly please please please make sure your work area is really well ventilated. This glass was made with h high lead content and you are melting it and releasing lead into the air. We have a special hooded vent above to pull the lead out when we work with czech glass ( especially high lead content) Most of todays modern glass rods have the lead removed. Also while watching this a thought occurred to me if you hold the glass with hemostats it might help your hands with fatigue. What a great idea!!!!! Also flash ( wave your row of beads through the flame before you put in the blanket so all are same temp to prevent cracking. Hope some of these ideas help you. I love you guys so much. Watching you remove the beads from mandrels you can soak them in water to remove bead release to help come off mandrel. Great video. Hope this helps you. I have been lamp working 11 years and teach at a local studio. Much love.
I wanted to reach through and open that window. I work with chemicals with my nerdy hobby, as well.
Also that fire blanket sheds fibers that can get in your lungs and kill you. Blacksmiths coat them so maybe some respiratory protection too
Amen to all the above, from another torch worker / lamp worker. Especially with the glasses. Don't want to burn out your retinas!
I agree! You particularly need good ventilation since you don’t know what chemicals were used in that old glass. And didymium glasses are worth the cost. Your technique is pretty good. You should take a class. It’s a very addictive hobby.
This! As a blacksmith, I cringed when she fluffed it open.
Be safe, because we care!
This is amazing, each bead has amazing history surrounding it. Each bead has an story of a life that’s lived. Beautiful craftsmanship x
Both of you ladies are absolutely amazing! You did this, you created beautiful beads using a process that you had never done before and have just about perfected your own process all without being taught or shown how by others! I am in awe of you both! You just don't stop until you have achieved your desired out come! I hope eventually you will be selling your beads on Etsy. I will surely be a buyer! What a story we lucky customers will have to tell about our lovely beads!!
Thank you so much! xx
Wow!😍 I never knew one could make homemade glass beads. That's amazing! Thank you for showing us this wonderful Hobby💗
Love watching you over and over, amazing talent, turning trash into treasure
The goofy looking orange bead at 35:47 looks like a cute little croissant and I'm just in love with it. Please make more croissant beads!
Hello, I am Kathy from Fulton,Missouri. I love you both. Your fun to watch. Also, you both are very kind to show others new crafts. I’am hooked on watching you ladies.
I love you two. Your beads turned out lovely! I also love how much you showed them off to us afterward! So often I'm like WHAT THE HECK? at the end of a video because I'll watch it forever and then they will only take seconds to show the result!! Bravo to you both. I could have looked at your beads forever more! 🥰😁 and then how you color organized and showed next to the glass pieces that made them. I adore both of you. Thank you for bringing happiness, adventure, and awe into all of your viewers' lives.
So lovely. Well done you. Totally enjoyed watching the process.
Alex for the president of the world.
Beautiful beads ladies. As Gail said we learn from our mistakes.
Your beads turned out very well, they would make very unique jewelry.
Wow!! That's so amazing and mesmerizing! All those beads came out beautifully, I wish I could like this video more!!
Have you yet tried layering one color onto another ? The irregularities in the beads is what makes them most attractive, giving them personality . . . character . . . and uniqueness.
These beads have turned out beautiful..For your first time you should be proud of yourselves..I loved watching and joining in the fun 🥰
This is so much fun to see. I had a beautiful glass huge vase that my dog broke and I didn't have the heart to throw it out hoping to use the glass one day. I make jewelry and these types of glass beads with that glass would be perfect for me. I've worked with glass blowing before so going to look into classes for this. Thank you.
I am a crafty type too, so I very much enjoy watching your work or play. Thanks for sharing.
Yet another lovely upcycle!! The beads are , oh, SO pretty!!! Loved watching y’all make them!! Thank you for sharing!!
Last time I made glass beads was over 20 years ago for a jewelry class. Watching this makes me want to get back into it. And also get a rock tumbler for broken glass, make sea glass pendants
WOW, I am in shock I think, you guys have truly made one of a kind glass beads. I have been wanting to make glasswork beads my whole adult life. I purchased a tiny used kiln about 2 years ago and it's still in the box. Your beads are gorgeous ladies. congrats.
Pamela may I say what's stopping you ?
The pink beads look like caviar. All gorgeous, love the shades of green beads.
Those beads turned out beautiful.
The textures you get on the beads make them extremely beautiful. Such a wonderful art form. I'm going to be collecting broken glass from now on and begin a new hobby. I've watched videos from Corning glass artists and knew on that level it was impossible for me to do but your method is doable. Thank you ever so much for this tutorial. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 💘 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 S. Carolina.
How stunning!!! Such a treasure to treasure, beautiful work and thank you for sharing👏❤️

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, wow. The green and blue together
💚 🔵 🍏 💙, or separate. The "beer bottle" brown asi call it, the turquoise. Thank you so much, it was so fun to see. I also like the pink and the different shades of white. The white would be good with a white or beige blouse or sweater/jumper.
Thanks, so lovely. 💙💚🔵🍏✌️
Fascinating concept and what a great success!!!
So creative ladies, coolest thing I have seen in ages and the best recycling project too
Really enjoyable video, thank you for sharing 😉
WOW, Gail and Alex you are amazing what a team, beautiful beads. Stay safe and healthy, Ontario Canada ❤️🇨🇦
those beads are Beautiful when you were making them i couldn't really see what color they were but when you gave us a close up, i could really see all the different colors .they are so nice you really did a great job.now you are learning to make really beautiful beads love you two wonderful ladies-from Josephine in America
Brilliant bead work ladies. When you were melting the glass in the flame it looked like a comet burning through the atmosphere 🙂
I just found your channel and am in love. I'm in the US and few years ago a friend gave me a bucket load of broken glass that came from a creek on their farm. Most is from the early 1900's. I had just planned to tumble it and use as cabochon's. I never thought about making glass beads! I'm so excited to try this. I've also read through viewer comments and just love all the wonderful tips and advice! Thanks so much!! 😊❤
THIS IS SO ABSOLUTELY AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!MEOWZA!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just wanted to let yall know I now make glass beads and charms from bottles and all sorts of glass beacus of this video thank you and your mom so much I love finding bits of glass for new beads and I love your channel yall are great
I think you just showed me my new hobby ❤️
i can only comment with one word...... beautiful
What glorious beads! You ladies really have the best adventures
Could you put the bead release on the stick then put a silver tube over that so when cool the beads just need to be cut flush at either end and you don’t have to file the release off?
I’m not a jeweller and have no idea if it would work but it could be time saving if it does...
Beautiful. Like colourful bubbles. So much work, but each bead is one of a kind.
I'm a jewelry maker and this is my goal too except with metal. fantastic! I hope more people do this.
Those beads are Beautiful. 💖
A wonderful array of beautiful beads, well done to both of you. I think glass beads are very tactile, rolling and just holding them and thinking how many secondary art that can be created with them. Watching your process was brilliant, i thoroughly enjoyed this film. Thank you for sharing.
Beautiful, had a great time! Thanks 😊
Wow !! You girls made the most beautiful beads. I loved watching you both create them. I wish my mom and I were as close as you two.i love the light green and the turquoise ones. Just lovely !!
Outrageously beautiful on so many levels!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow, thank you! xx
You guys look like you having so much fun.... Love the Peacock.!!!!
absolutely beautiful beads,,,,I MUST HAVE AT LEAST ONE!!!!!!
Amazingly beautiful beads
All I can say is wow!
Very nice! And, no, not hard to watch! I had no idea how ‘easy’ it was to make beads!
love those peach and sea foam ones
This was absolutely wonderful!. I tried lamp working but was very nervous with the flames and the fumes. So I sold all my equipment but so enjoy watching the beads being created. Fabulous idea to repurpose all the broken class. Please though take the safety advise given here. Your health is important so that you can continue to experience the joy of all your mudlarking adventures and the art spin off created with your finds. ❤️
Absolutely gorgeous beads! Love them!
You are charming ! ...and your discoveries too !
Well done girls, they are simply beautiful ❤️
I really enjoyed watching your video. Such fun to see where the glass came from and how it ended up.
The enthusiasm and fun add to the beauty of the beads. Love from India.
Thank you! xx
i am absolutly enjoying watching you...i never seen making beads with stain glass pieces.....i have only seen it being made with glass rods so i am very glad for i do stained glass and i have so much glass just not the glass rods....very nice to know i can use my left over glass...thank you!
Beautiful work, ladies! Well done, both the beads themselves, and your excellent camera work.

I now "get" binge-watching thanks to you and the Icelandic volcano (live). Because I subscribed I have been watching your videos backwards in time...still love them! This bead-working one was very cool and I enjoyed the whole process. Thanks for the bead-making explanation.
You two are so sweet! What a great idea!
Lovely work ladies, thank you for sharing your work with us.

Lucky Ladies!!!
thanks for sharing your lovely craft skills. I enjoyed watching and learning.
I never knew You could make beads this way. Great video. The Young lady looks a little like the Filipino actress Erich Gonzales.
😊 thank you xx
I came across your video by accident, and so glad I did ! I loved watching you collect the glass and “play” with it . The beads are so pretty . I am new to bead making, but ,wondered whether or not it would be easier to pull the chunks into rods / stringers first ? Perhaps someone with experience could offer advice ? As someone with an interest in several different crafts and just love walking up and down a beach hunting for ANYTHING interesting, you lovely ladies are a real pleasure to “ spend time “ with ! Thank you.
Love recycled glass and realllly loved this. So relaxing watching you guys make things 😊
Great job ladies.....
My new favorite channel I Love you guys you both make me Smile 😊 thank you both
Aw, thank you! xx
They are so beautiful
Wow they’re gorgeous ! You guys are so talented and creative ! You did a great job 💗🌹🌹
So beautiful! Thank you 🙏
Absolute gobsmackers, my dears!! Really lovely. I have always been interested in old glass. But never gave thought of taking it a step further - using old shards, to make beads. What a delightful video discovery, during my New Orleans early coffee time...7 a.m....post hurricane Zeta, October 2020!! Cheers from the French Quarter!
You guys find glass the way we find arrowheads where I live!
This song is pretty too🦋
I use all broken glass ! I make it small enough to put in my coffee grinder and make druzzy .. for rings or pendants . Or geodes
The geese are so cute
So beautiful and yall are so smart
Amazing! What a brilliant idea!! Congratulations and Good Luck!
so pretty... i love glass
