The ant looks like it is in the “thinker” pose! They’re all so dang adorable 😊 the mantis looks like it’s wearing high heels, and the big caterpillar give patch work quilt vibes!❤
I really liked the format. I prefer having the before-and-after in the same video, which helps us, with less imagination, resolve the issue immediately. However, I also appreciate the last format because it makes the audience look forward to the following video.
You could pair that worm with some of those mini books and it's a bookworm! I could totally see those mini books that you made sideways and then One of the caterpillars on top, maybe with some words all over the caterpillars
The caterpillar reminded me of a old quilt. It was 100% my favorite also. They were all so cute. Great job Shelby! Glad to have you back in my videos. Definitely understand taking the break while opening the pottage.
Each one was darling Shelby! Favorite is the ant posed as the famous statue by Rodin The Thinker. The blue made it very thoughtful. The worm and grub made me happy too. Oh yes the new format works so well, get to see it open and decorated. 😊
I loved this video format. The way you painted the wood grub looked like a worm curled up in a home-made quilt 😊. My favorite was the Absolom caterpillar piece. I loved its colours and eyes with the lids. So creative and adorable. I know you are an artist but I'm always amazed and impressed with your colour choices and patterns.
I loved the mantis! I can understand why you had technical issues with it but I think it turned out great! And this format was wonderful to follow along with, it had great flow between each mould with the final reveals at the end.
I like the format you are using. The little Caterpillar, would be great to make into a bookworm! Little eyeglasses, maybe a little book to go with it or paint books on it. Something to think about. Thank you for sharing your creations!
They turned out to be so cute! ‘Crispy’ to describe a glaze is my new favourite thing btw 😂. I love that little worm, n’awww. Incense caterpillar would be SO cool!
These are my favorites in order and why: Mantis - I love the realism of the colors and the cohesiveness Ant - Blue is my absolute FAVORITE color and I love the usage of all the blues. It's just so stunning Worm - I love the design of the worm and it's little shy face and kawaii eyes. Your circus colors are very bold and a unique addition.
First-- I could watch you paint perfect circles for hours! I k now that's hours and hours of practice, but you make it look so easy! I love your idea with the incense! I also think the snail would make a good piggy bank piece. And your idea about the cinnamon roll-- do a whole set of baked goods! The grub could be a croissant! A muffin love bug? Breadstick mantis! Fun stuff.
I liked how you did the video. To see you paint each one after you open the mold. Also you are an amazing artist! Thank you so much for sharing your art and sharing your love for your hobby!
The mantis was my favorite! I loved all the different shades of green, also the little green caterpillar. Greens just always look so lovely with pinks and purples. All of these are so adorables! What a cool set. I thought this format was really nice, and I always look forward to seeing them fired at the end.
The large caterpillar made me think of a snuggle bug. It looks like he is all wrapped up in a homemade quilt. And your Turbo snail is incredibly awesome. I would definitely be proud to put quirky trinkets and treats in him for my desk 😊
All so pretty and cute! The little worm reminds me of patchwork like a quilt. He would be so perfect for my sewing room. I love all your cute pieces and love the talent, creativity and imagination you put into each one. ❤ 🐝🐛🐜🐌🦗
The snail that stuck to the shelf; I think those glazes might work better on a more horizontal piece. If they run together and pool in a dip I think the crystals might get bigger. Please take this with a grail of salt I don't actually work with pottery, it is just how my brain says it will work. I liked the mantis it really is too cute. You should look up the different types of mantis they come in so many shapes and colors! My favorite kind is the orchid mantis, so beautiful! I liked this way of opening the moulds. It kept ramping up my excitement over and over with each one.
thank you for bugging me with this video.....pun intendend.....seriously...having some rough times those critters, their colors and your giggles, amazement sure gave me some positive energy - love it all - thank you so much!
These bugs would SO cute with little wire antennae added to the clay forms (or wire with little beads on it!) They're so sweet, i just think that some little curly-cue antennae would take them to the next level -- but beautiful work as always! ❤
We have some praying mantis here that are purple and blue and irridencent. They are just incredibly beautiful. Bug come in such a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. I love your personality. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
I do love the bugs ❤ I think the textures and designs look great! Don’t be so hard on yourself, you never know what is going to happen inside the kiln. May I suggest instead of sacrificing a shelf or a half shelf, make some cookies as they’re called. Pour a puddle of slip on the flat side of a mold that looks like a cookie or a pancake and then fire that along with your piece that has a running glaze, then you don’t sacrifice anything but the cookie. The cookie shrinks along with your glazed piece, and, ta-da! Perfection!
I think the two "arms" on the sides of the bees face are actually antenna 😊 love these pieces! Especially the brown snail, would look lovely in the garden!
If you've seen any of our other videos she's done blue bees before and she's saying that somebody has done one at the pottage so she wants to do something different
The worm strikes me as a cute addition to the book Canister collection and then it could be a bookworm
oh i love this idea
The ant looks like it is in the “thinker” pose! They’re all so dang adorable 😊 the mantis looks like it’s wearing high heels, and the big caterpillar give patch work quilt vibes!❤
I saw the same thing. Rodan’s Thinker is iconic and this ant embodies it, your blues make it pop.
It should be a whole series of bugs doing human things….
Yes!!
I like this format! It's less repetitive than having all the un moldings together
I love this new format. The beetle could be a lady bug.
I love the wood worm. He looks like he is wrapped in a lovely patchwork quilt. 💙💛❤️
That's what I saw, too! As soon as he came out of the kiln, I immediately thought, "Patchwork! "
It’s a patchworm!
The worm that your customer painted is pretty amazing. I’d love to see more of your customers’ work, if they are ok with you showing us.
I really liked the format. I prefer having the before-and-after in the same video, which helps us, with less imagination, resolve the issue immediately. However, I also appreciate the last format because it makes the audience look forward to the following video.
I would have made the snail into Gary. There are so many possibilities for it. Its so cute.
You could pair that worm with some of those mini books and it's a bookworm! I could totally see those mini books that you made sideways and then One of the caterpillars on top, maybe with some words all over the caterpillars
Cute idea
Awesome idea, then they would make great bookends
I really like this format of the spaced out reveals!
I love this format. So nice to see the Mystery Mold Series back on the regular again. I missed these
It’s amazing the magic that happens when the colours go from dull/chalky to *POW* COLOURS! 😁🤩😍
Love the praying mantis! So cute! 🐌🐛
The mantis is my favorite too. Then Bub the Grub. Then the Dopetillar!!
The bugs are adorable. I do like this format!
The worm looked like it was wrapped in a really comfy quilt ❤
That caterpillar, I panted that same caterpillar when I was at camp in the 70s. Thanks for the memories. I love watching your videos .
These are super fabulous and whimsical. The circus worm is probably my favorite, then the Mantis, then the bee. You did a wonderful job.
The caterpillar reminded me of a old quilt. It was 100% my favorite also. They were all so cute. Great job Shelby! Glad to have you back in my videos. Definitely understand taking the break while opening the pottage.

Like the format. The circus grub turned out wonderfully.
Definitely my favourite reveal, you have a great way of bringing them to life. Love them all. Don’t be so hard on yourself. X
The grub reminds me of a patchwork quilt. I love it. I love them all❤
I loved this video format. The way you painted the wood grub looked like a worm curled up in a home-made quilt 😊. My favorite was the Absolom caterpillar piece. I loved its colours and eyes with the lids. So creative and adorable. I know you are an artist but I'm always amazed and impressed with your colour choices and patterns.
The praying mantis is my favourite. The little green caterpillar could be a chopstick holder.
The caterpillar...Yes, a circus worm!!! Absolutely adorable ❤
I love the mantis, it's such a wistful expression
the snail actually looks so realistic now! I think the ladybird is my favourite though it's adorable ❤
I loved the mantis! I can understand why you had technical issues with it but I think it turned out great! And this format was wonderful to follow along with, it had great flow between each mould with the final reveals at the end.
The 'grub' would look so cute on a book shelf! A little book worm. You could even paint each section of his body as a different book 🥹 🐛 ❤
I like the format you are using. The little Caterpillar, would be great to make into a bookworm! Little eyeglasses, maybe a little book to go with it or paint books on it. Something to think about. Thank you for sharing your creations!
Turn the snail into a piggy bank well snail bank lol
okay but how cute would the caterpillar be on top of the snail??? everything turned out SO adorable!!
Yesss! I’m totally thinking the same thing.
They turned out to be so cute! ‘Crispy’ to describe a glaze is my new favourite thing btw 😂. I love that little worm, n’awww. Incense caterpillar would be SO cool!
What a cute set of bugs. The personality shines through. Love them and can see future generations of them.
These are my favorites in order and why:
Mantis - I love the realism of the colors and the cohesiveness
Ant - Blue is my absolute FAVORITE color and I love the usage of all the blues. It's just so stunning
Worm - I love the design of the worm and it's little shy face and kawaii eyes. Your circus colors are very bold and a unique addition.
The "circus worm" looks like it could be a handle for the book jars ❤️
The earthy snail really brought me back to the 1970s, when those sorts of things were in everyone's indoor fern gardens.
First-- I could watch you paint perfect circles for hours! I k now that's hours and hours of practice, but you make it look so easy!
I love your idea with the incense! I also think the snail would make a good piggy bank piece. And your idea about the cinnamon roll-- do a whole set of baked goods! The grub could be a croissant! A muffin love bug? Breadstick mantis! Fun stuff.
I think the ant is Rodin's "The Thinker" sculpture. To me anyway.
I really like the colorful little 🐛 it looks like he’s inside a sock 🧦 💜💛
The ant also reminds me of Rodin's Thinker.
I agree, it's cute.
It kind of freaks me out because where are its antennas?
Seconded, it's a send up of Rodin's bronze.
I really like this format as it gave importance to each piece! Loved seeing the process for each. It felt less muddled in my head in the end.
Whatever order you do is perfect. Love your enthusiasm and channel.
I love that you get inspired by your guests at the pottage. Also I now need to see you make a cinnamon roll snail that would be so cute! 🧡
The worm looks like a beautiful quilt!!!!❤
I love love love this little bug collection! This video was so fun, Shelby! I love your creativity and watching how you decide to finish your pieces.
Enjoyed the new format. Loved the worms!! I thought the “circus worm” was hideous until you painted it. Wow!
The beetle looked like it had a head scarf on ❤❤❤ so cute
These would be a great cast for a tv show! Great job with that new brown glaze too, the organic earthy feel is beautiful ❤
Ooo I wish that little worm was a bookend and a bookworm. So cute.
LOVE THEM! The circusy worm looks like a homemade stuffed caterpillar made with a bunch of different calicos! I love him!
I saw the caterpillar and immediately thought of James and The Giant Peach.
I like this new format much better. All the pieces turned out nicely. Thanks for the video. ☺☺☺
I liked how you did the video. To see you paint each one after you open the mold. Also you are an amazing artist! Thank you so much for sharing your art and sharing your love for your hobby!
I liked the format, it felt like it flowed better.

I loved this bug army!!😍😍❤️ The colour combination and patterns are so pretty!!❤🤩
The little worm reminds me of an inch worm, caught in the middle of measuring the marigolds. I love your collection. So very cute! ❤

The orchid mantis a breathtakingly beautifull. 🥰
Preying mantis was my favorite, colors were just so beautiful after you Painted it.
I love that they all have their own little personalities. The bee and the mantis are my two favs. The worm looks like a patchwork quilt. So fun!!
I love the praying mantis the best! that and ant and the grub.... I like all of them!!!! Nice Video. Thanks for sharing!
I love the 'circus' worm, and even tho you didn't really like it, I like the mantis! They all look great!

I love the expression on the worm, it has so much personality!
I love the mantis!! All of them are adorable, but he is so precious!
OMG the Ant looks like The Thinker statue
Turbo is amazing (and matches your top when you unloaded the kiln), but surprisingly the grub is my favourite. all of the details you added are great.
Oh the wood grub looks quilted!!! Too cute!!!
These bugs would SO cute with little wire antennae added to the clay forms (or wire with little beads on it!) They're so sweet, i just think that some little curly-cue antennae would take them to the next level -- but beautiful work as always! ❤
The worm makes me think of grandma's quilts. So cute❤
Some of your insects could have cute shoes 😊
I love the mantis the most! And the bug brown snail…. Looooooove!
I love the bugs! I liked the mantis and the worms.. really I liked them all!
I love that this mystery mold series is back!!!
We have some praying mantis here that are purple and blue and irridencent. They are just incredibly beautiful. Bug come in such a variety of sizes, shapes and colors. I love your personality. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the good work.
Love this format!! The little bugs are cute, my favorite is the worm.
Hi Shelby! I loved this video! The bugs all turned out so adorably 😊. My favourites were the grub and the ant. So well done!
I love the worm! It reminds me of a quilt pattern. They're all adorable, even the mantis. Fun times!
They are so cute. Definitely see the grub as covered in a quilt.
I love this set. They’d be so fun tucked away in the garden!
That Lil worm dude looks like he's wearing a onesie his Nan made him for Christmas and he loves it.
How unique this set is. ❤🐞🐛🐜🪲🐌
Hi Shelby it's a hot Friday night 40ºc it's a wonderful hot dry balm, like stepping into a sauna. Your artwork and excitement inspire me. Thank you
This is such a gorgeous collection. Love your work, as always. Very happy with this format of the reveal.
All are precious but the worm and mantis are my favorites!♥
I do love the bugs ❤ I think the textures and designs look great! Don’t be so hard on yourself, you never know what is going to happen inside the kiln. May I suggest instead of sacrificing a shelf or a half shelf, make some cookies as they’re called. Pour a puddle of slip on the flat side of a mold that looks like a cookie or a pancake and then fire that along with your piece that has a running glaze, then you don’t sacrifice anything but the cookie. The cookie shrinks along with your glazed piece, and, ta-da! Perfection!
The quilted worm looks so cuddly!
I think the two "arms" on the sides of the bees face are actually antenna 😊 love these pieces! Especially the brown snail, would look lovely in the garden!
The worm reminds me of a quilt! Adorable 😘🤗💜☮️
Omg they all look bashful 🫣 so cute!!🥰
Hi miss Shelby, all are awesome! My favorites are the mantis, the bee and the caterpillar❤❤❤ your such an inspiration😊❤
Enjoyed this format.❤I love the mantis!
I LOVED the snail mold.... it reminds me of the Dr. Doolittle movie where he rides in the giant sea snail.
Little worm is so cute. Reminds me of a patchwork. 😍
I absolutely love your painting skills.
So glad to see you BACK I’ve missed you ! The bug collection was fabulous I loved them all you are so creative and they all ended up looking so cute !
There are native bees in Australia that are blue, so you would not be stealing someone else's idea if you did them. This is a very cute collection.
If you've seen any of our other videos she's done blue bees before and she's saying that somebody has done one at the pottage so she wants to do something different
Would be awesome to do all the insects as native Australian versions. We have such colourful bugs
I just found out this summer that Washington state also has a blue bee!
Googling blue bees now 😍
