That screaming Herbert is hilarious! You should clean his "hair", then he is a redhead.🦰 He can be a companion for mudlarking Barbie. They would make an amazing couple. 😆 Love the ring that Alex made, it's gorgeous. Think it even looks better with 3 prongs instead of 4. Thank you so much for taking me out to a beautiful place of your country, I loved every minute of it. Big hug from the Netherlands 🤗

I love your channel! I’ve spent my lifetime with my eyes pointed down everywhere I’ve gone from oceans to forests and to mountain tops. There are treasures everywhere and I’ve found my share over the years. I love your exuberance and your humility and your love of the history of the things. To some people I’m sure these things are junk and to be sure some are but still are worth checking out to see if they can be Incorporated into one of your handmade pieces. It’s fabulous watching you actually create an art piece from the ‘found junk’ that others find unworthy. You are both so talented, your creations, your photography and your choice Beautiful music. I watch a bunch of other channels and I think you have the best music of any of them.

Omg I have been hearted a couple of times by ty but you hearting my comment just made me explode 🤯

Stunning videography and creativity...wow! That was spellbinding!!! Screaming Herbert is so funny...I am glad you took it. What can I say about the "Cutty beads"? Life is brilliant and not only on sunny days. Alex, the ring!...omg! I went to your Etsy Store and Si's and the Mudpies to gather up info (cost of up cycled bottles). I want to get my two children and their closest friends some cod bottle creations...I have to save up! The Curry bead ring would make a wonderful gift! I know now what I have to accomplish...thank you! You both look so beautiful gazing at your earth treasures. I have to tell you. I must be part mudlark! After my first marriage broke apart, the "gravity" of the situation made my heart heavy. I was always praying for forgiveness because everything hurt. I was just too naive to figure it all out and walk by faith. So, the intensity of my heart caused me to bow my head. I find so many coins that people drop and I also wring God with prayer. People were convinced I was completely lacking in confidence. I was but not because of my marriage failing but because scrutiny of myself demands that. I am harder on myself than I should be...but the rewards are greater than any self criticism could be. Thank you, Ladies! Sally forth and Talley Ho!

Hello to both of you from Arnold in Nottingham, the long strips of copper I believe are used by roofers to hold loose or replaced tiles, and the face and hair man/woman is a battery clip from a car or tractor battery lead.
