I think you should make a few more of those beautiful bricks and build Barbie a house. 😁🏡🌼
Or a house for the ceramic dolls. That would be incredible.
Those clay items are off the charts! Very inspiring. Best find of the day is clay. Who would have thought. Go back for more, that stuff is great.
Thank you so much!! We have to say we're still surprise it worked! We are going back for more this week 😁 xx
@@NorthernMudlarks I would love to come with you both ..but sadly I'm in France lol. Your videos really inspire me...I love them. ..and you 2. xxx
Thanks for the clay demonstration ! Glad
you were able to get out for a beautiful
new day of Mudlarking . Anne from
Massachusetts , USA . Carpe Diem
Everybody !
Very entertaining - your clay items look amazing - you ladies can turn your hands to anything
Love watching y'all. You make feel good. I make jewelry to but just easy stuff. You give me ideas. Just got to get the stuff to do. I love how you show nature and the music is so soothing from all the craziness here in the U.S.
That makes us so happy to hear! Best of luck with your jewellery making! 🌱😊
@@NorthernMudlarks I love you guys so you inspire me and make me happy 😊 I used to have access to a creek on my old cousins farm and I found all kinds of stuff pottery dumped by CB&Q Railroad. Whole and broken I didn't even know I was a mudlark! Plus I have a creek I. find great geodes in! Do you have a sight for your shop. Your art room is a dream and I love the pottery you both made
I would have had to take in the heartRock it will be beautiful and the flower garden
Ground up pipe stems - interesting. I was incredibly surprised that "wild clay" survived the kiln. The clay looks like that used for common Roman pottery. Well done Gail and Alexis. Thank you.
FYI Alex not Alexis 😗
I laughed so hard when Alex quickly grabbed the dry clay and Gail says “Alex”. Girl you are a hoot. I like the clay art too. Well done ladies ..well done.
I jumped then LMAO!
Copper and more copper, Napoleon's hat, cold water tap, where's the kitchen sink? Your videos are so entertaining. 🥰
We will have our own scrap yard at this rate! 😂 Thank you! xx

While your Sweet Cat Gently Sleeps .......... 😽 🎸 A hive of industry goes on in the workshop.
Splendid finds and wonderful amount of Faith , where there’s a Will there’s a way . Well done girls, you never fail to Amaze me ❤️🌹❤️
Not sure who could thumbs down one of their videos! Another lovely lark!!
What fun! I am so impressed. One thing is for sure: you two ladies will never be bored; endlessly creative!
My mam used to put a big sheet of plastic on the floor me and my sister would dig the red clay from the back garden in Newcastle and play for hours with it. We would dry our makes out in the airing Cupboard
Having clay like that right on your doorstep, you could make your own roman pots and clay pipes, very lucky. The things you both made are wonderful, hope you do make a larger kiln, but the agates..just wow! Thank you!
Is there anything you Ladies can't do?! Your pottery is beautiful! Gail's brick would make Phil Johnson proud and that ink from Alex is just gorgeous! Another amazing video! Thank you 😃 x
Yet again you two impress me with another new skill. These are adorable!! I love Alex's pork pie and Gail's brick. Thank you Ladies.
OMG the little clay brick and porkpie pot is so cute. The brick reminds me of the perfume brick that Si-finds friend found at a bottle dump.
Wonderful day out, with some special finds, especially the red clay! Those are the sweetest, little miniatures you both made. When Gail was shaping the rectangular shape, I thought, “Oh, she’s making a perfume brick.”, which is something I saw for the first time on “Si-Finds” RUclips channel the other day, when he was digging with a couple of friends in a bottle dump. It was a little brick, about the same size, marked with the words, “perfume brick”, and the man who found it said that it would be soaked with a bit of perfume to make a lady’s chest of drawers smell nice.
Okay, about time! :-) Y'know, once a week is getting to be not enough! Spending time with such happy & talented people is such a pleasure. Cheers from Nova Scotia! 😘
Once a week is NOT enough, you are right.
They leave us all wanting more. I think the anticipation makes us [well, at least me] enjoy the video even more when it comes out. I watch other channels that post videos two or three times a week and I sometimes feel that I Have to watch, not like I Want to watch.
You live in a very remote and beautiful location. Was a lovely walk along the Byrne and great to find agates and carnelians. That clay was good and amazing what you both made with it. I love the brick and the pork pie pot. Just so clever for the first time. Thank you and enjoy your week.
That was amazing. Can they now be glazed and put back in the kiln. You know what you need next, right? You need a rock tumbler and a wet saw to slice your agate. You never cease to amaze.....well done
I'd have to add a potter's wheel to that list
Thank you very much! We are going
to experiment with glaze and see how they turn out. We would absolutely love to cut and polish our agate to use in our jewellery, defiantly something for a future project! xx
@@NorthernMudlarks
The Navajo have a traditional method they use to achieve a glossy surface. They make their pottery and allow to dry hard. They find a smooth, river rounded stone that's not gritty and rub the pots surface with it making it shiny. They then use metal tools to scratch/carve traditional designs. Stone rubbing the interior makes the item waterproof. Like you, they excavate their own clay from river beds. Where they live was once an ancient inner sea in the cretaceous, so mud and sand of differing qualities is abundant. A potter often keeps their smoothing stone for life.
😍👍
@@2degucitas WOW ❣️ Thank You for sharing ❣️ So much to learn this is awesome ❣️
I love working with Clay! You did it exactly how it would have been done. Slab or coil is , I feel, the best way to create what you did! Great job! And that was a beautiful spot you were at! It looks very ancient! Thank you for taking us with you! Bless you 💜
Cool episode. Last week Si_Finds found a vintage "perfume brick" of about that size in a bottle dump!
We saw that! It was half the inspiration behind ours 😊💕
I loved that, making clay and creating tiny bits that might again last 100 years. Mind boggling!!! Lovely.
Wonderful production!
Mary Borgstrom was a potter from Canada, she resourced her own clay and fired it in an outdoor kiln, a very down to earth, famous, and talented lady.
I love your pottery and the brilliant idea to make your own slip!
I just finished watching Curiosity Incorporated’s series about Mary!! Learning about her has been very exciting to this amateur potter :)
Wasn't that series just an absolute treat?!
She was definitely a person with creative intuition! I also watched the Curiosity incorporated Potter's House series.
I make art and love watching others make art of all mediums.
@@angelabstractart6168 Making comes in all ways. Thank you for your contribution!
I have a tiny little Mary Borgstrom pot .Alex from Curiosity Inc gave it to my best friend for me ,.She was visiting her son who lives in the same town and I told her she had to go to Alex 's store ! So from Canada to Ireland .
Watching this just after watching the quarter final of the great pottery throwdown has been great! ❤️
We love watching the Great Pottery Throwdown! We really want to try the naked Raku they did!!
Y’all are amazing. I love to watch everything you do. I would love to hang out with you! Would you adopt me?
Wonderful job ladies. Looking forward to another adventure next week.
Greetings from the U.S.A.
You are very wholesome people you know that? I'm terribly under the weather and watching the video took me away for a while and found myself smiling. Also been wondering for a few weeks about the figurine on the window sill. Seemed a bit angelic or something. There it was at 27:46. Anvil Angel!
no matter now old your videos are when I find them it's always a treat to enjoy a relaxing adventure w/you. your clay craft turned out so great. really like gail's miniature brick.
Wow! That was fun! I love the clay figures, you both did such thoughtful projects. Perfect. And the tap was a find! People pay a fortune for the repro and you find one stream larking.👏👏
Gorgeous relaxing, beautiful video as always. Thx 👏👏❤️❤️
Little clay pot turned out beautiful. Also your brick is amazing. I'm so glad you tried doing this on your own. You two ladies are very talented💓🇺🇸🙋🏼
If you get yourself an old piece of canvas or oil cloth you will find it much easier to roll flat sheets out. So much easier to remove after rolling and cut into the pieces u need. I love your videos and really enjoy watching what you two do with the things you find. I also quite enjoy the music you choose!
You do have a great ability to make a video from just a small walk along a river with very little there, into something so interesting l could watch your videos all day. Thank you. Xx
What an amazing place you both have, so tranquil, and it would be so much fun to explore.
The clay things you both made were so cute, look forward to seeing what other magic things you ladies make, with your very own river clay.
Brilliant - would never have thought of getting clay from river banks. And I live in clay county too!
Absolutely gorgeous and amazing. Can’t wait to see you make jewelry from the agate. Thank you for the videos they make me feel I am there with you. 💕
The things you made with the clay you found are absolutely amazing. Love the agates.
The Northern Mudlarks do it again!!! Well done!!! The piece of machinery looks a hand cranked petrol pump to fuel the tractors in the field. You place the pipe into a barrel or tank then turn the handle pumping petrol into the tractor or truck. If you haven't already you might think about purchasing a rock tumbler. I love mine! I use mine to make sea glass!
You could use the tiny brick as a perfume brick in a drawer.
What is a perfume brick? I can guess, but I'd like you to tell me.
Watching Bottledigging Tom, I saw someone find a small brick just the size she made. It said Perfume on it. You put perfume on the brick and put it in your drawer.
Sorry, I don't think it was Bottledigging Tom, it was some digging show though.
@@karenb3690 it was Sifinds
@@20greeneyes20 Thank you
The clay work is amazing. I would never have known how to cut the pieces to make the pot.
Alex, I would not expect anything less of you getting your hands into the dirt, the mud and the clay. You have to feel the creative process
I’m watching this enjoyable video at 2:30 in the morning after waking up !! Much better than counting sheep !! Thanks Gail and Alex !! My Mother used to make clay cups and all sorts of decorative artwork when my Sisters and I were little. She would give us a bucket to dig some clay out of the side of a stream close to where we lived . Your video brings back lots of memories !!
You two ladies are so brilliant,I'm surprised you didn't bring home that piece of axel and build a new tractor from it. With you two, nothing seems impossible.
Here where I live is red clay and it was used by our natives for pots..
Joy! Alex and Gail have returned. :)
How innovative and creative to make those lovely things from found clay.
I was once again cheering right out loud (to the constrenation of my small cat, Sarah Jane)- as you pulled out your perfect, un-cracked, un-marred clay pieces!! Hooray for you!! I love your creativity and moxie! Cheers from Maine! p.s. Those agates tho... Daaaaamn!
@Marilyn Dreamwalker Mejorado I'm uncertain what you mean by 'crystal veins thru every island' and Land's End cut crystal steps... With all due respect, what the heck are you talking about?
Are the specks in the fired clay from the pipe stems you added?
What a wonderful adventure we had today. A lot of treasures found. My favorite find would have to be the wild clay and the things you made are fantastic. You ladies have really been blessed of God with your talents. Thank you for taking the time to share them with all of us.
Stay Blessed, Safe and Healthy

Great video just a heads up its much easier to carve when the clay is semi dry. Again this applies to slab clay as well let it dry out if you have some plaster slabs this is ideal for wicking excess moisture from the clay. When making joins for the slab use a slip mixture and keep water to a minimum the idea is to maintain the rigidity to the clay adding water makes it floppy but Im sure you have probably worked that out by now. :)
Thank you very much for the tips! We did realise towards the end things were getting a wee bit soggy xx
@@NorthernMudlarks another thing is the elasticity, french say "chamotter". it's a verb, and it's about the way you need to knead the clay a lot to make it more cohesive and elastic. this way, it also dries and it help a lot to maintain its shape :). you need to knead a lot the bunch of clay, in every directions, folding it and smash it, the same thing than some bread dough. and the texture will be way better and usable :)
yeah!!!!!! mudlarking time
Amazing what fresh air and sunshine can do, No bones or skulls today!
Ladies you are so inspirational! I was blown away by your pottery it was amazing to watch you both create them from scratch,just awesome💕
I love how you find nature’s hearts. I always find them on the beach. When I’m remembering someone I miss and find a heart I call it a Heart from Heaven and I add it to my collection. You find amazing things. God bless you and keep you safe in all your adventures.
Those rocks are such lovely colors! I was amazed by the clay project! What made you think of tempering your raw, wild clay with pulverized pipe stem and sand?! So ingenious! Loved the results, especially the ink pot! Thanks for this very enjoyable episode!
I actually squealed when you found your first agate. It must be so satisfying to find these bits and be able to make beautiful art and jewelry out of them.
You both are so very talented !! I'm always eager to see what you've gathered or made . 🙂👵👍👍♥️
Well done ladies.. I love that clay, it's a gorgeous colour 😍 xx
Your first foray into "wild" clay creations was a great success. Everything came out beautifully. Very well done, as per usual. You are so creative (and brave) to try so many creative types of things.
Artisans you are. In the purest sense of the word! Wonderful crafting and attention to detail. I think everything you create is magical. Thank you for taking me along!
Great job on the clay items. On your next trip to the stream, you might want to go to the inside bend and take a gold pan with you. Likely you will find a bit of gold in that inside bend. If not, you should find some nice garnets.
Thankyou. I love the way your pottery turned out, such a beautiful colour.
Nice job ladies....time for more clay
Nice rock finds
From covington, washington. U.s.a.
Mother nature is very kind with you couse you are very creative and you know how turn any thing to somthing usfull, you are inspiring us
Look at the bands on the little beauty 13:21, I'd be over the moon with that find
You ladies are amazing-you take on a new medium with every find. And they all come out beautifully. Next episode--- "Oh look mom, an old headlamp. Let's try making a tractor."
Gail and Alex just when I think you’ve done it all WOW look what you’ve done now, you’re amazing ❤️from Ontario Canada
They are fabulous, well done, it must be so satisfying to make things from the very beginning. Do you collect the sheep’s wool from the fences? You could make your own felt too, not that you have enough to do already. Love to the shroos too.🦚
Thank you so much! We really felt a connection to the Earth & our ancestors using raw materials straight from the ground like this. We have never made felt but you never know, it could be a future project! 😂 xx
That was a treat! I feel happy and relaxed after my dose of Northern Mudlarks. Thanks!
The dried and ground clay looks like cacao powder!!! Makes me hungry!!!!
Now it looks like fudge... yum!!!!
Who doesn't love a heart shaped rock. This was fun to watch again.
Thank you for sharing today’s explore, it was a wonderful fun adventure! I had to chuckle to myself when you got down to the river I was thinking what a beautiful looking waterway to cast a fly line and then you found that beautiful little trout. Wow y’all really made some wonderful little items out of that little bit of clay you found! Very sweet!💚🧡
Hi I just want to say that you guys are amazing my mom loves watching you guys because she loves finding nice things anyways you guys are amazing so keep up the good work!
Yes I love it, when you look for rocks
Great video. Looks like you found more rocks for the wetsaw. You have beautiful stone.
You both never cease to amaze me with your artistic talents and willingness to give things a try. Beautiful results as always for you both. Gail, your comment about Scottish Pebble sent me down another rabbit hole about Scottish Jewelry. It didn't look like you brought that one largish piece with you -- I was hoping you had and that you would try carving intaglio next. ;-)
When I was a child I made some things from mud in my dad's yard and he put them into the barbeque on the patio. We kept the fire going with wood for a long time. The next day we fished them out and they had turned to brick. What fun memories with my dad.
That tall metal thing you found may have been part of the tractor the light came off.
Well done with the pottery adventure. Love the items you made. A hidden talent hidden no longer.
WELL, IN AWE COMES TO MIND. I'M SIMPLY IN AWE ! THANK YOU TO YOU BOTH FOR THIS LOVELY CREATIVE SUNDAY MUDLARK.
I watch this video of yours and it takes me back to so many memories, collecting stones, fossils and buying every semi precious and precious gem. you are so lucky to be mum and daughter together sharing your hobbies. I love following your jaunts, learning, feeling I'm out side, breathing in the sweet fresh air. xx
I absolutely love what the two of you do, it fascinates me! I look forward to your posts every week.
Love your adventures in Mudlarking and crafts. Keep them coming
I love how these turned out! The knuckle bones are so adorable.
Now you need to take a trowel and get some more clay to make more things. Well done ladies, love your stream walk and the agates were beautiful, but the clay and what you made awesomeness . God bless and stay safe and well 🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰🥰🥰🥰👏👏👏👏👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️🌻🌻🌻
you found a steering collum from a 70 year old car ! And the pottery looked good enough to eat !
ive seen a guy dig bricks just like that they thought ladies used them to put purfume on in their drawers but they werent for sure.
No kidding, I held my breath when you opened the kiln. We found some red clay-like material near home and tried to fire it. The best result was mixing with other clay, too.
The atmosphere of this creek is amazing. :)
Hello Alex and Gail your clay items turned out beautiful nice to see the different stones see you next Sunday 🤗🤗😎
You two are so talented! Love the things you made! So glad they turned out! ❤😊
I have seen the way the Chinese up in the mountains make pottery from a type of clay only found there for hundreds of years. After pottery is fired it is so beautiful. I love the sweet little creations you made!❤
omg the teeny brick is adorable and hilarious! The porkpie inkwell is also very cute, the color of the clay is really nice.
Wow wonderful from mud / clay ........
You guys are awesome n talented.
A grand SALUTE
With Love from SAM

What a delightful 45 minutes you just gave us!!! Keep the art projects coming; they add so much to your videos!
OH MY WORD!! I wish I could give you the Best Video Ever Award🏆🏅🏆 Honestly you Ladies are so very talented. Thank you for sharing!
I really love seeing your creativity!! When I was in primary school we did some clay work for craft and we use to roll the clay out on pieces of hessian. The hessian gave an automatic cris cross kind of pattern on one side that we could use for the joining parts.. I'm not sure why else we had them other than maybe to make less mess? LOL I have some weird and wonderful pottery from back then. Great memories and watching this just brings it all back!! Thank you for sharing.
With all the skills you attempt (and master) I wonder if your next project will be gem cutting! If the equipment wasn't so expensive, I bet you would tackle that in a heartbeat. Well done, ladies.
Jiminy Cricket 😲!!! That was the most AMAZING process to watch. So painstaking, such hard work...and then the anticipation of whether they'll make it through the firing process 🤞🏻🤔😬. And there they were in all their glory 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤸🏼♀️🤸🏼♀️!!!
SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL 🥰.
OH, Mudlarking Barbie😲!!! Careful little missy, to close and you'll get all "melty"😖😩!!!
Those agates are simply beautiful! This is such a wonderful video, so calming and relaxing - and your clay makes are absolutely stunning. I had everything crossed that they would not crack. Gail's little brick is so cute and Alex's penny ink is just perfect, but all of the makes are so creative and a delight to watch. Thank you for giving us this medicine for the soul.
I would love those beautiful sheeps bones. I collect things of that sort. I have bones from cats, a leopard seal, a ground hog and more... I find such beauty in them 🥰
Absolutely love that you made your own clay and then created beautiful things!
