You managed to get the look of real geodes in miniature!
Ohhhh thank you so much!!
oooh, can't wait for the next video with the coffin shelf and candles!
No way. You are amazing... I can't believe what I'm seeing right now🤯
Genius! I’ve used Himalayan salt in mini glass bottles, but never would have thought to make a geod.
Now THIS is adorable! So modern! So unique! What a fabulous artist to even come up with this!
I love them! Thanks for sharing.
I am making a Barbie inspired apothecary cabinet at the moment and I’ve been look for little crystals! Perfect timing!
Ohhh that makes me SO happy! Have fun ❤️❤️❤️
These are so very cool, I love my crystals too and will now try make some for my tiny tree house.
I love this idea so much!, you always light up my inspiration bulb (it even makes a ding sound lol) ♥
They are all so beautiful ❤❤
So glad to see you post again! The crystals are so cute and realistic looking! Looking forward to next video!
Also, would love to see an update on the stackable tree build!
They're so pretty and realistic!!
You are so very creative!! I was mesmerized by this video! I look forward to seeing the next candle video!!
Very clever. Well done. Can't wait to see what else you've come up with to share. WOW!!
You have achieved the level of 'brilliance' in your creative imagination profile Sharon, I love them! You're awesome thank you x
I don’t know how you keep coming up with these amazing ideas! These little crystals are amazing! They look just like little geodes , Absolutely adorable!
So glad to see another video. These are awesome!! ❤❤
So creative, Sharon! Thanks for posting ❤
Oh you clever girl! I'm not a huge lover of crystals myself BUT I adore new techniques to use for miniatures =) This is a great tute ty so much 😍😍
Yes! I’m going to use the salt rock texture part in the future myself lol love how that turned out. And thank you very much ❤️
Once again, great idea. Already ordered the nail polish.
Thank you So Much for sharing this beautiful craft with us I can’t wait to get started
You’re welcome!! It was fun ❤️
Oh wow! These look fabulous!
Thank you so much for sharing this tutorial with us. I have parrots, so don't have to worry about cracking the walnuts, they'll do it for me lol.
I never thought to use nail polish for miniatures & honestly, it's a good way to use up old polish.
Stunning pieces.
I'd like to highlight the importance of covering/ sealing of the salt crystals well. Salt is Hygroscopic (attracts moisture from the air) so will essentially 'melt' if left unsealed and thus destroy your piece and possibly the scene around it.
For sure. The glue, polish and sealer will keep them from doing that 🥰
Always so exciting when I see one of your videos pop up. I've been sick but I'm dying to get working on some miniatures and I may just have to add some crystals. Thank you as always
WOW..OH WOW..AS ALWAYS!!!🩷
Wow! Thanks much for sharing! Kathleen
You are just too ckever, im glad i found yr channel, i can stop making my fairy houses & doors out of clay yr process is much more realistic & i love it, Thankyou for sharing 😊
Oh wow these are amazing. I have the Himalayan rock salt with grinder. But i also have some Sea Salt that is big crystals and already clear . Used some tonight to make rice . My bottle has a cork stopper.
The amethyst and rose quartz (?) Look great in miniature. And the salt rock lamp!!! So cute!!
Ohhh I’ll have to look for sea salt next lol That’s awesome and thank you ❤️
@@WhereTheGnomesLive it would save time sorting out colors. That must've taken a long time. Looks pretty all sorted though
@@recoveringsoul755 actually not too much time! It went rather fast, but there’s really no need to sort them, there’s bunches of clear in the packages. It went faster for me, for filming purposes, to have them ready. And I need the darker colors for the salt lamps I’m filming right now too, lol But I’m looking forward to trying the sea salt for sure 🥰
@@WhereTheGnomesLiveDo you think rock salt would work? I have that in the garage.
I’m sure it would work but I’ve never tried it myself. This salt I used was the first time I’ve ever attempted crafting with a salt. But with that said, try a couple pieces and see how it reacts to nail polish or glue.. that way you won’t invest too much time if it doesn’t work. I hope it works for you, have fun!
Those are gorgeous and so real looking! Would never believe it was salt if I hadn't seen it.
This is such a great idea. They turned out so realistic!!
Great tutorial...I'm off to get some rock salt And nail polish.
I think the dollar store has different colored bath salts, too, in the toiletries aisle.
Smart
WOW! I'm going to try this in my fairy tree stump house! I can't use the E6000 glue though...I'm highly sensitive to the smell. I love the Tacky Glue....I use it all the time. Thank you so much for sharing!
I just found out that E6000 now makes a low odor version (while looking for a tube to order for this project. lol) May be an option for you!
thank you so much for sharing all this.
I LOVE your videos!! I'm looking at your nailpolish with sparkles and it makes me think of stickles, especially the colors "star dust" and "crystal". they are very similar to the nailpolish you showed. But the nailpolish has a basecolor that the 2 stickles i mentioned don't have. But might be good for fun effect. I use stickles a lot just putting some on my finger and spread over a surface or dab.
Love these!! So realistic!
Oh wow! Another stellar job Sharon! How do you come up with these brilliant ideas? My personal favorites are the acorns and walnuts, as those have the concave texture like a geode broken or cut in half, but the rest are just as amazing. Using the salt for the texture is so good. I want to immediately start making them! I can’t wait to see what else you have planned!
I started sorting salt rocks out! I also want to make some immediately! They won't be as good as Sharon's I'm sure..
@@pipwhitefeather5768 honestly, I may scavenge through the spice cabinet and see if we have any salt like that too. It wouldn’t hurt to take some!
Thank you so much! I have 3 life sized lamps on my desk so after making the crystals and seeing them beside the big lamps the mini lamps became a must have lol I just love the colors of them and my gnomes will appreciate them for sure 🥰❤️
Amazing work!❤
Oohh, i have a plant shelf im making and these will be perfect to go on that shelf!
Your work is incredible ❤❤❤
So great. So clever.
Wow! Awesome! I can’t wait to make these! Thanks for sharing.❤
Brilliant!
Wonderful job!
so pretty!!
Pretty pretty pretty thank you❤❤❤
Thanks!
Thank you very much, I appreciate it ❤️❤️❤️
This was an amazing video thank you
👍
Love it 🥰
Once again you have made a very cool item. Something we didn't know we needed. But now we can even make it.
Thanks Sharon 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍁🎃🍁
She really tried the tacky for us 🤭🖤
My dedication is unmatched 😂😂😂😂😂❤️
There’s no doubt about that! Love it 🍄
Great video! Does the nail polish keep the moisture in the air from dissolving the crystals?
I'm loving this and I'm having a go, at these and the salt lamps 🥰 however, I can only get E6000 plus and it doesn't appear to work like yours does, it's a nightmare, doesn't grab/hold anything, I have to touch it as little as possible (otherwise it just pulls all the salt crystals off and sticks them to my fingers) and let it dry for at least 48 hours between stages, otherwise everything just falls/flakes off. It doesn't seem anywhere near as 'sticky' as yours, it's gloopy and runny (if that makes sense) and kept running off the base, even the fabric one (for the salt lamps). Any advice or suggestions for alternatives, super glue gel?
1st time viewer, just subbed! Since childhood my 2 fav hobbies: miniatures & collecting rocks (well & antiques). Which method did u use for the tinyest geodes? The foil/tape/p.towel method? Because I mostly do 1/12 scale.
Foil for some of tiny ones , acorn caps for the others. I can’t remember which is the tiniest.. I think it was foil. And thanks for subbing! I appreciate that ❤️
Could u use a quick dry resin that sets under a light?
Question? Will the rock salt dissolve in humidity or does the nail polish seal it in.
I believe the polish and glue will keep that from happening. However, I’m not an expert on them, this is new for me as well. But from a bit of experience with polish on other crafts I’m assuming they’ll hold up just fine
Dear Sharon, I have lots of tiny real crystals and I was wondering if I could use them to make miniature geodes like the ones you made in this video? Also, I'm currently making a Miniature Victorian style library inside a room box and I'd like to make a miniature collection of gemstones, using real semi-precious gemstone chips. I want to make it look like it's in a glass case or cabinet. Could you give me some advice on this? Thanks so much. Love from Amanda in Melbourne, Australia
Can you please make a video of how to make mini selenite crystals
