You managed to get the look of real geodes in miniature!

No way. You are amazing... I can't believe what I'm seeing right now🤯

oooh, can't wait for the next video with the coffin shelf and candles!

Now THIS is adorable! So modern! So unique! What a fabulous artist to even come up with this!

They are all so beautiful ❤❤

I am making a Barbie inspired apothecary cabinet at the moment and I’ve been look for little crystals! Perfect timing!

I love this idea so much!, you always light up my inspiration bulb (it even makes a ding sound lol) ♥

Genius! I’ve used Himalayan salt in mini glass bottles, but never would have thought to make a geod.

I love them! Thanks for sharing.

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!

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

So creative, Sharon! Thanks for posting ❤

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!

These are so very cool, I love my crystals too and will now try make some for my tiny tree house.

They're so pretty and realistic!!

Thank you So Much for sharing this beautiful craft with us I can’t wait to get started

So glad to see another video. These are awesome!! ❤❤

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 😍😍

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!!

Once again, great idea. Already ordered the nail polish.

You are so very creative!! I was mesmerized by this video! I look forward to seeing the next candle video!!

Oh wow! These look fabulous!

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

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 😊

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.

Great tutorial...I'm off to get some rock salt And nail polish.

Wow! Thanks much for sharing! Kathleen

Those are gorgeous and so real looking! Would never believe it was salt if I hadn't seen it.

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.

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.

WOW..OH WOW..AS ALWAYS!!!🩷

Amazing work!❤

This is such a great idea. They turned out so realistic!!

Love these!! So realistic!

So original, well done!

thank you so much for sharing all this.

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!

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!

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 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍁🎃🍁

So great. So clever.

Oohh, i have a plant shelf im making and these will be perfect to go on that shelf!

Wow! Awesome! I can’t wait to make these! Thanks for sharing.❤

Your work is incredible ❤❤❤

I think the dollar store has different colored bath salts, too, in the toiletries aisle.

Wonderful job!

Pretty pretty pretty thank you❤❤❤

Brilliant!

This was an amazing video thank you

so pretty!!

Love it 🥰

Thanks!

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.

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?

👍

Could u use a quick dry resin that sets under a light?

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

She really tried the tacky for us 🤭🖤

Question? Will the rock salt dissolve in humidity or does the nail polish seal it in.

Can you please make a video of how to make mini selenite crystals
