I am not a crafty person, I have no desire to work with sea glass, but I love your channel. I literally just like hearing you talk 😂 And everything you make is beautiful! 😍
OMG!! I love this idea! I used to do tons of stained glass! Sold many pieces and did many art festivals. I’m currently into acrylic fluid art, but my passion is glass and multimedia! Love exploring possibilities ❣️. Thanks for sharing ✌️💜😊
You are so welcome! This was one of my first videos and I started with the glass tumbling and it has become so addicting. Since I started 4 years ago now I have branched off to all different glass art forms.
Thank you, your video was really helpful. I tumble glass for projects and have wondered if the turquoise glasses from Dollar Tree would hold their color. So glad to know that they do! Thanks for so many helpful tips!
I honestly don’t know why you don’t have 1M subscribers! Love your channel and you have inspired me to do this as a hobby for me and not to sell. 🤣. Wants you start selling it, it becomes a job.
Thank you! Yes I am having so much fun with it. i always say if I was younger and had found this maybe I would sell but at this point I just want to enjoy myself and not be stressed out. and it bring me so much happiness to show others. And now that i have the Facebook group i am learning so much from everyone else.
Love your videos!. I've been working with Total Boat for several years. Love that resin. I make my own sea glass too. Look forward to your next project.
You are a very creative and innovative person! I've become interested in sea glass after seeing some ads of small birds made from sea glass. I might try some some mosaics sometime, also.
Thank you so much! Yes when I started I really only knew about tumbled glass and since then have become interested in so many other forms of glass art.
Love, love, love your videos. I am new to making my own sea glass. I got a rock tumbler and the grit. Now I just need to break my wine bottles that are saved for me. My question is? Are wine bottles good to use for making glass pieces?
The thicker the glass the better. And it all depends on if you want them to look chunky or flat and thin. So I have been doing a lot with glass now where I just tumble for an hour or 2 with just water just to take the sharp edges off.
At about 1:25 I noticed when you showed the orange and the purple ones you said that they tumbled 'clear'. But they actually turned out frosted white didn't they? That's what I am looking for, is how to make the frosted white.
Yes all clear glass ( colorless glass) will turn frosted white and any painted glass the paint will be tumbled off and will turn frosted like that the abrasive from the grit kind of scratches it and makes it look frosted. Now if you pour resin over it the frosted look will disapear and it will become clear.
I am just starting out with broken glass projects so all this is new to me. I live in the UK and find it hard to get larger nuggets of glass to use on canvas, even from Amazon. If I smash up some glass items i:e bowls, vases etc. can I use that or is it essential that it’s tumbled? I don’t have a tumbler and didn’t really want to have more expense at this early stage in my journey. Thanks
You can do your glass art anyway you want there’s a lot of people who don’t tumble their glass art. I do it because the glass looks the same, but you can’t cut yourself. That was one of my very first videos and when I started, that’s what I thought I was gonna do was just faux Seaglass art. But since then I have started doing all sorts of glass art projects from crushed glass to broken glass where it’s not tumbled and then I started tumbling it just so that I wouldn’t cut myself or anyone I gave it to wouldn’t cut themselves for an hour to take the sharp edges off if you have some sharp points, you can also get like a sanding stone and go over the edges with it so that it’s not sharp.
You would not believe all the expensive glass I find at garage sales that people are practically giving away. If I had known about this reselling of glass that people do years ago I would have done it. It hasn't been till recently ( the past 2-3 years that I have been realizing the value. Do you ever watch that youtube channel Dr. Laurie? She tells people the value of the things that people find at garage sales and thrift stores.
Awesome video! What is the name of the tumbler and size you use? I never did use one, thinking now I may want to look into it. Do you have a video on how to use the Tumbler?
The best starter tumbler that I have used so far is this National Geographic tumbler here is the link: amzn.to/46e9Moi. and in this video I talk about tumbling glass and and show you the tumbler. I use ruclips.net/video/dMqmKrRgxm4/видео.htmlsi=awCaqK5jiXRS7EKO
Thank You so much, I just purchased it, my gift from Santa! I enjoy watching your show here and you inspire me! I like to work on canvas using crushed glass or Fire pit glass as well as stain glass, and will be trying to use tumbled glass in this way in the future. @@crazyglasslady
I break it up out in the garage in a wooden box , throw a towel over it then hit it with a hammer. That's what I do for most of the glass. but Now I am starting to shape some of the glass before I put it in the tumbler. So If you look toward the end of the MJR tumbler review I am in the garage on the floor LOL breaking up glass. Or if you watch my video with the big old window with sunflowers ( It's a more recent video) It will show me cutting and shaping the sunflower petals before I throw them in the tumbler. I also tumble stained glass for about 24 hour just to remove the sharp edge. Hope that helps.
Wow, I just found your videos today. Very interesting and I love the lighthouse at the end of this video. Do you sell your finished pieces on line or do special orders.
Thanks The light house actually hangs in one of my bathrooms . No I do not sell anything all goes on my walls or to friends and family. Check out one of my newer videos called "what do i do with all my glass art". here is the link ruclips.net/video/kMtv-HCCCbw/видео.html

So you want to know where you can buy glass already tumbled? Yes you can go on amazon and ebay. But you could do it yourself tumblers are not that expensive .
It is actually on sale for $79.99 from$112 National geographics rock tumbler 3 Lb it is a great startes tumbler and has almost 4,000 4.6 star reviews here is the linkamzn.to/46jGlkh
The National Geographic tumbler is good If you go to my how to make sea glass video and watch I show you the size compared to my smaller one and also have it linked in the description There are also m,ore glass tips in it
So I have 2 small and 2 large tumblers but if you watch my video on how to make your own sea glass i show you the ones that I have and I link them in the description. You can better see the size capacity of the models in the video. I would suggest the national Geographics: NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TUMBLER: amzn.to/39KassX and I believe it is $112 I have a link in the description of all my videos but here is the link to the sea glass video too: ruclips.net/video/dMqmKrRgxm4/видео.html
i'm still unclear as to what is the advantage to tumbling glass. Also how much should i expect to pay for one? I've seen all different prices on Amazon. What should I look for? Love your channel!!
Do you do broken glass art? There are some people who work with broken glass only and do not tumble it. It is a preference. With broken glass art the edges remain sharp and any one who touches it can cut themselves. It is the look of it that some people prefer. Especially for coastal projects. If you watched the video you can see what the glass looks like before and after. It is a personal preference. I personally enjoy the broken glass art also but have a hard time giving it to someone else especially if they have kids. If you are selling it you would have to provide a disclaimer, telling them not to touch the edges or they could cut themselves. If you watched the video I also showed you the 2 small tumblers I use along with the pros and cons. They are both listed with links just above this under the description if you click on more.
@@crazyglasslady Thank you! i wasn't sure if there was any advantage other than reducing sharp edges. I couldn't see a difference on the screen. (I have a small laptop!) I would love to get into working with glass. I have ordered resin and look forward to trying it. Appreciate your videos!
I actually have 4 tumblers My newest is a 65lb diamond pacific tumbler next is mt 40lb MJR tumbler amzn.to/3dsL7lX then I have 2 small ones non stop for 2 years: amzn.to/3osDIJM My second tumbler larger I have 2: amzn.to/3dvuLcp

i adore colored tumbled glass, but as an antique lover, I could never deliberately break depression glass❤️
