I have learned so much from you! It's also nice to know that others enjoy collecting things that I do. Others have made me, in the past, feel silly for collecting rocks and shells. Now I just have to move closer to the ocean that's been calling me for many years! Thanks for the shell videos!
Lisa Jackson Hi Lisa, I find that just like you, some people around me STILL makes me feels silly collecting rocks and shells. But when I'm wearing the finished products, they seem to always want me to make them one or two....LOL I don't care what they think or say!!! I still do whatever makes me happy....:-) Good luck to whatever you're doing and I wish you all the very best. Cheers, Liz
I live in AZ where there is no beaches. I am going to a state in April where I will be at a beach and I'll get some shells to try to do all of this.... Thanks so much Liz for all you show us.
I love how detailed your videos are and how you show the before and after! Thank you for the knowledge, I live in Hawaii and love collecting shells, but have NO CLUE on how to make them look beatiful again. But with your help I can. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach beginners like me.
These are beautiful!!! One of my favorite things to do is to make unique jewelry pieces from the sea shell fragments I find on the beach near my home in Florida.
absolutely beautiful thankyou for sharing...Im obsessed with seashells and finding natural objects in nature but didnt know exactly how i could turn them into jewelry I appreciate this so much. great ideas.
Ive been looking for a channel like yours that will take broken pieces and put them together. They are beautiful examples and thank you! Im looking forward to seeing more of your tutorials.🌊🐠
I love shelling and I just started playing with wrapping them. I think I love this too! I love watching and listening to you work, thank you, tell me more.
Honestly thanks for showing that you can actually use shells for jewelry, I'm going to use some and some sea glass to make a necklace for my boyfriend as a birthday present
You are so lucky to have such beauty close to you! I'm from Puerto Rico and when I saw your beaches it took me home thanks for that 😊 you're very talented and blessed tfs 💜
Hi Liz !!! Thank you so very much for sharing so much of your knowledge and talent with us!!!!! I am endlessly appreciative that you take me along with you on your expeditions and explorations. I look forward with great anticipation, all of your future videos !!! You are amazing!!!!!
Deb D Thanks Deb for the lovely comment. It's my pleasure to be able to share what we do. Take care and wish you all the very best in everything you do. Cheers, Liz
Hi Liz, just saw this video…based on the date when you filmed this video, is now almost 9 years later or 2023…curious if you are still making shell pendants and if you have a site where you sell them?! Thank you!
Hi Liz, I love your videos! I was wondering if you have videos on how to cut, drill holes and polish shells. I have a stash that I have collected over many years and would love to do something with them. I do not know how to do any of the cutting or drilling holes. Thank you!
i dont normally comment on stuff thats DIY inspired. but with as much time as i've spent shelling i've never really been inspired to sand off the natural weathered look. i bleach it and wipe it down but i've never sanded. I think i might try that when i get back from vacation in a few weeks. i have a ton of shells and i think i just got inspired for my mothers christmas gift this year... where are you from? im sure you said it once before but this is the first video i've seen of yours although i'm bookmarking this so definitely not the last
+ktchupgrlky Sorry took a while to reply. Been too busy of late setting up my website. I'm from Australia. Thanks for watching and have fun with your Mothers Christmas gift. I'm sure she'd love it. Cheers, Liz
waoow .. what u did with the shells is beautiful. would u make a video on how do u clean these shells so their both sides are shiny . or are these specific type of shells that have pearly shine to them ?
Beautiful! I wish my could find seashells! There are practically no seashells at the beaches near me in California. How do you cut the pearls in half? How do you shape the shells?
Hope this video below link, helps. Thanks for watching. Seashells - How to Grind Cut and Polish | Liz Kreate - ruclips.net/video/3A4Txldz5po/видео.html

Oh wow those shells are gorgeous... wish we could get such pretty ones here in America. That one with the holes, I would love to take some seam binding and stitch it through the holes for a shabby chic look :) Lovely jewelry you make...you're so talented!
Hi Liz, you really have an eye for beautiful and 3 right hands for crafts, I was looking on your website to buy some jewellery but I didn't see that many or am I looking on the wrong page? Can you please let me know, thank you in advance!

+Debra T Hi Debra, The unit itself, I use Dremel, Arlec and Dick Smith Rotary Tool. The burr I use varies and it comes with these rotary tools. Cheers, Liz
Hello from America -- I love sea shells -- you are so lucky to live near the beach -- I love that you love the sea shells nobody else wants, because to me they are all so just miraculous and beautiful -- great tutorial -- wishing you continued blessings in your work -- do you ever shark's teeth?
+Debra T Hi Debra, You'll need to get a good quality diamond coated burrs/bit. Most of the bit/burrs that comes with the rotary tool would not last very long or grind very well. Also make sure that you submerge the item you're grinding under water or keep it wet at all times for quicker grinding and also makes your burr last a little longer. Wish you all the very best. Cheers, Liz
