Hunting Exotic Shells At One Of The BEST Shelling Beaches In The UK!

Рет қаралды 41,792

2 жыл бұрын

This week we again search for something new. We visit a beach that is the only place in Britain you can find certain exotic shells. There are many cowries and exotic shells that have come across from the Caribbean on the gulf stream. Come with us on a search for the rare and unusual in a beautiful place!
If you would like to watch us use some of the shells in miniature crafting pop over to our new second channel `The Miniature World Of Kit + Caboodlers` -

We have a patreon page for anyone wishing to support us.
We also have a Ko-fi account, so if you wanted to support us by buying us a metaphorical cup of coffee it would be greatly appreciated xx

Happy belated mums day fluer. From the states . You've raised such a lovely daughter ! My suggestion for the tusk shell ...lol. if you come accrossed any miniature elephant heads glue them on and place them on a wall in the doll house assuming the father of your victorian doll house is a proper hunter . As so many men love to brag on their hunting of Big" game . Big chuckle . Not advocating the hunting of such a beautiful animal.! But Its for make believe people. This is a humble worthy dollhouse!!! Love you all.

Loved the shells . I collected tiny shells when living in Florida a while back . Once found a tiny living Octopus in a tiny shell. What a treat ! Let it go in a tidal pool in its shell quite near the tide line so it would not get stranded on dry shore . The cowrie shells could maybe be used as eggs in a wire basket on a table if you like . a little wire woven chicken shaped egg basket would be lovely and fun to make maybe . Thanks for sharing .

where on the gulf coast are you? i grew up in houston, galveston. i was last there around 15 years ago, and there were no seashells at all on galveston, in a mile i found a single broken sand dollar. there were always less whole seashells every year since i was a child 50+ years ago, but to find none at all was terrifically sad and unexpected. one reason i love these videos; they really know how to practice the art of cherishing, don't they? and there's always the cat, Sunny.
