Ep. 2 The second one is so strange ✿ Playing a game of SMASH or PASS with my Pottery

- Let me explain a bit more about this video:
Welcome to the game of Smash or Pass the Mystery Mould edition!
Smash or Pass is a game where you make a yes or no decision on an object, person, or thing by using the word 'smash' or 'pass'. The game is typically played with 'smash' meaning yeah that's good and 'pass' meaning I will pass on that. However, as we smash the things we don't like in pottery and pass the things on that we do, I will be playing it the other way.
SMASH= The piece is not good and will not be going to the next stages.
PASS= it's good and I will take it to the next steps.
If you have been a long time follower you will know that I have my Mystery Mould series where I unveil these moulds one at a time and decorate them. The pieces that pass this game will feature in the series when I start it up again. The smashes will not but this video series gives me an opportunity to clear out some moulds that won't fit in my new studio or maybe aren't the best for the series. Some are seriously cursed!
But wait, won't it spoil the mystery?
Yes and No! The mystery mould series will return but will have a mix of pieces from this series as well as some picked randomly like normal. By the time I get to them, I think you will either have forgotten about the piece or be super eager to see how it comes to life in the series. I am actually excited to hear your ideas on the ones we do pass on to the series as I may be able to implement them into the video and the design of the artwork. I am excited for the debates and discussions about whether I made the right decision for each mould. I am also excited to cull some moulds so I have less to move when I get the shelves for my new space.
Wait, are you smashing the moulds??
Ok, not smashing the moulds! I am smashing the cast it makes inside. I will clean the moulds up and find new homes for them that will appreciate them. AS much as I can see potential in all the moulds, I do want to focus on the ones that spark the most inspiration, have the grooviest of ideas and can be shaped and crafted in new ways. The smashed moulds are great but great for someone else who they are a better fit for. I will share details where you can get these moulds very soon.
Are you ready to play?
I will be sharing a poll after each episode over on Instagram. If you think I made the wrong decision on the pieces, come over and vote. I may bring something back if you vote for it back!

St Paul's Cathedral in Australia
Yes! this comment needs to get some attention xD
Thx, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night 🤣
Before I started watching this video, this comment seemed very random. Thank you for sharing which building it was.
Would pass that along to the church itself, they may want it.
The funny face character with the feet is a plant pot. I had one over 20 years ago and I had a spider plant in it so it looked like bushy hair. We called him Bjorn Borg ..🤣🤣
I was just thinking it would be a great planter. Love the feet!
Remember seeing these when I was a child my auntie had one
Please continue this series!!! I am obsessed!!!
Ahh thank you so so much for the love! I’m so happy you love them! It’s a bit exciting doing so many at once! It’s tempting to do them all!
The Gnome is called David de kabouter (David the gnome), by Rien Poortvliet (Dutch). The drawings in that book are really amazing. He is holding a book and a pipe.
How many European countries have gnomes in their culture?
It looks like (reading) glasses to me 🙂
I want to say the same thing. But I love that mold.
I remember watching David der Klabauter (that's what's his name here in Germany) as an animated TV show as a kid
I still have a bunch of old Rien Poortvliet books. It's such a mystical style
The plaque being St Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne makes the most sense.
It would being I am in Victoria! But with that said so many moulds have come from overseas so who knows ❤
I'm pretty sure that's what it is
I second this! The 3 spires give it away.
The spires and front facade match.
That’s definitely what it is. I’ve never seen spires exactly like that except at St. Paul’s Melbourne (which makes sense because they’re relatively recent, being built less than 100 years ago).
That gnome is more special than the other three together! Can’t wait to see what you do with him.
The others were all 🫤
Hahaha I agree! I can’t wait to do some fun colours with the tiny gnome!
these horse moulds just demonstrate how profoundly *weirdly* proportioned horses are just in general. and they go about their business like that!
thank you so much for this series shelby, i'm enjoying it so much! you have such a joy and a passion for what you do, it's written all over your face while you work. I know it may not always be like that but you're still a huge inspiration in positivity while working creatively (and you have made me and my mom want to get into ceramics). thank you for sharing!
I kinda love the feet mug!! Or planter, as I see other people say it is, which would look fantastic. The third mold was gorgeous but I understand it being just too impractical, makes sense it’s a smash, at least until something comes up that it could be attached to.
OMG. Mould 79. I bought one of those little ponies at a craft fair with some paints and painted and repainted that little guy for YEARS. One of my favorite "toys" from childhood.
First one is St. Paul’s Cathedral in Melbourne as seen from Flinders street! Found a shot and it matches exactly!!!
The second one… I agree, so creepy!!! 😑 The third one I agree, too fiddly.
For the last one, Holy crap you hit a jackpot!!! That gnome was based off a book titled “The Secret Book of The Gnomes” written by Dutch author Wil Huygen and illustrator Rien Poortvliet! Two cartoon series were also made using these designs! Finding an actual mould that survived to today is amazing!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I love you. I will looking for the church. cheers
i would so use that face mug as a planter. it would look so awesome with plants in it!
It is a planter.
I adored the little mug with the weird feet and that would be such a cute thing to paint 💜💙
The silly mug with the feet could be used as a flower pot. It is certainly a Monster style 😆 lol
The gnome is really cute
Love the Gnome! it might be Rien Poortvliet, a Dutch artist. It looks exactely like his. He made books about "kabouters" how they live etc. Super Nice find!
I really enjoy this new series! But oh my god do I LOVE the light in your new studio. Everything is bathed in the colors of "you" and I think it's amazing. LOVE IT.
I love this series because we get to see so much more of your personality!
Heheh I’m a bit of a weirdo!
@@ShelbySherritt you seem to have misspelt charming!
❤I agree.
@@DaemonInWhite
Brilliant comment! ❤ 😊
Piece 1: Def Pass. Piece 2: Planter for the cup or the feet at least Piece 3: Horse - Def Pass. Piece 4: the gnome. Idea: Planter pot with the feet from piece 2 with the gnome sitting on the feet. The face on the cup is so unique and quirky though that the other side of piece 2 could just be a standard planter with your awesome flower designs over it. Put a plant that looks like 'groovy' hair and it would be a winner! Either way, this is really fun and thank you!
I loved the city mould. You could make a cookie or jewlery plate with it and experiment with different colors and decorate the frame or add funny details to the city, like a ghost.
Don't stop your videos I enjoy these so much. I love your ceramics they're so pretty when you get done.
1) we need sooo many more of these!! Which obviously means this must continue for a long long while!! And 2) SUCH A CUTE GNOME!! I hope he has some friends in the pile so u can have a big gnome city!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I’m loving this! I can’t wait until the next! I would’ve passed the mug with feet - I thought he was adorable!!!
I liked it too, would've loved to see her really lean into the creepiness of it.
Same!! I think that was my favorite mold of this video. 😊
WHAT IF... you used just the frame from the first mold, balanced on the feet from mold 2, with the horse's head from #3 ?!?!? I always love when you 'Frankenstein' some molds together! Just a thought but the frame alone could be a nice addition to one of your creations.
I was thinking, cut the horse in half lengthwise and stick it on the plate - kind of a bas relief - then you don't have to worry about it standing up. Or cut it and wrap it around a mug (but not the face one!)
This would be so cute in your paint style
Bahahaha this is a hilarious idea. Frankenstein moulds 😂
I think this is a great way to go through them a bit quicker. And you passed on the right one. The gnome is so sweet.
This series is so fun! I would love to see just 1 of the creepy feet mug put together and painted up. I think it’s in the category of Can’t Add Much To It but he’s so weird and silly and it’d be cool to see him painted in your pastel colour ways. Then bin him 🙈
You could make these for Halloween
Your outfits are always so cute. It's so cohesive to your workshop and personality
Thank you! Just dressing how I want to feel every day ❤ like sunshine hehe
yessss I always want to know where your dresses are from!!
All those ranges of emotions are so fun to watch. I love this series.
That gnome reminds me of a childhood book series from Germany. I think they even had a tv animated series.
But i am interested to see what yo do with it.
I love your idea for the Smash or Pass series, it gives you a chance to work through molds in a quicker pace and weed out the ... really weird ones :D and gives us a chance to see what is possible.
I was just thinking it reminded me of David from David and the gnomes I used to watch this as a kid on channel 4 in the UK xx
Those are the biggest elastic bands I've ever seen! I'm glad my postman doesn't leave those lying around by my front door or I'd never get in the house!
Absolutely love the gnome. Reminds me of David the Gnome cartoons. And yeah those smashes were the right call. As adorable I think the footy plant-pot is. :}
Oh no not the poor foal! 😭 Spindly legs are hard but they're my favorite! I would've LOVED to see a Lisa Frank-inspired foal from you!
I am torn in this series. I see the need to cull some that don’t work, however I love seeing you turn trash into treasure. For example the bedspread ghosts were a lame mold, but your style and creativity turned them into something fabulous. Cheers from the Midwest USA. 💜
The little gnome could also make a really cute Christmas decoration - make the pipe a candy cane and the book a present
! That gnome mold used to be in the old pottery shop I used to cast in- I made a bunch of them for the attached shop- for shelves, for pots- they sold great around Christmastime. Wow, blast from the past.
I loved the weird cup , it would make a fun planter
Definitely ❤
A planter is a great idea. I did not like it as a cup.
I would love the second design as a flower pots! it looks a little bit like a garden gnome
I thought it WAS a flower pot😅 Certainly would work better as a pot than a mug
Definitely an indoor plant pot.
I'd use the feet mug as a garden ornament or cactus pot
I think that is precisely what it is supposed to be used for
Oh my god!! That IS David the Gnome!! Love it!
I love this series!¡! Also, that crazy face plant pot with feet was so great!!! Wish you had kept that one. I would have bought one from you.
Same
The footed mug man thing would be a cute planter.
What I think , the horse and the castle are a smash. The "tea cup" is really a planter pot and would be fun to play with and should pass. I could see drilling out the nose holes to make him a yarn bowl. Sculpting a worm or two and putting them in his toes. A bee on the handle. He could really be a fun guy (ooo fungi , mushrooms on his bum?)
That first one is definitely some kind of gothic cathedral. Neat for a one off design but odd for a mold.
The gnome is definitely a keeper!
I usually only watch your shorts but I am enjoying watching your process in these longer videos. Thank you for sharing :)
I like it! Some of the molds are quite funny! I'll be happy to see your personalisation when you're ready, but these videos are quite good too!
I love smash or pass! Getting to see the behind the scenes is really fun
the second one with the feet looks like a flowerpot to me. Also the gnome. It's David! :D His original design has a red hat, a nice cobalt blue coat and dark brown pants and belt. What a fun find!
It would have been interesting to see what you would do with the cathedral cast but only because it might. Challenge you differently. But the Gnome is so cute and i don't always like gnomes.
I love this series so much!! Such fun. And I totally agree with you about all of them. Ahh that face was so CREEPY!!! Shame about the horsey, though.
I absolutely loved the mug/planter with the feet. I think you could have done some super cool faces (different tones, eyes, etc). So much fun. I just loved it. I don’t see what’s creepy about it. But I guess that’s me. I loved a kit called Creeple People when I was a kid making faces and feet and things out of rubber that looked very similar. Brought back great memories.
Hiding the knome in the friend's house sounds brilliant!
This is such a cool series! I think you made the right call with each one, can’t wait to see how the gnomes turn out 😍
The little knome on a stack of books would be so cute!
The horse would make a nice Christmas tree ornament.
If you can find a panda, cheetah, tiger, dolphin or alien ,amongst our mystery molds, you can do Lisa Frank. I believe she stated the tiger and cheetah were named after her two sons.
The gnome with feet reminds me of some German gnome illustrations. They'd have sticks n leaves n briars growing all over their bodies. I could see the kettle having a small overgrown plant in it. And if you could make a clay tiny daisy that can be stuck on the end of the gnome's nose or for weird funky lil daisies stuck between the toes. Hee! Cute series! Glad we can see more molds and hear your opinions on the designs like why the horse doesn't work. I do hope you find the Lisa Frank one! That's gonna be so cool!
Lots of fun today! Personally I would love to have all those various horse molds and get really, really good at assemble and work with them! Maybe loosely attach the legs, wait for leather hard stage and finish the hindleg then? I adore them! ❤️
I love this series. Every time I call it Smash or Cast in head though. I cannot get over Pass meaning it's something you like.
So happy that I found you, thank you, you always make me smile
I enjoy seeing your expressions! So funny! I agree with your choices of smashes!
The name of the gnome is Rien Poortvliet in the Netherlands, he was an illustrator and wrote some books and made awesome illustrations. Look for it please... The smash of the town: maybe you can use the frame of it for something else? Love this new series as well, and I am looking forwards for the glazing part. Blessings from the Netherlands
Firstly, thanks, I love this smash or pass
Your face when you pulled out the mug with a face. 😂😂😂
I have a bunch of the waddle pots molds at my house that came with the original ad with the mold numbers. It’s so cool seeing someone else have them
I love that weird mug with the face, we've got plant pots that look like that all over my workplace
I understand on the horse but I would of so loved a Lisa frank horse. That was so much of my childhood
The gnome is so cute. You could even turn him into a Santa holding a list of names for Christmas. Love this new series. How's the new studio working? Is it making everything easier?
OMG that cup with the feet is awesome! But i'm just weird , .....but i LOVE IT!
I love it too , would make it into a planter
Yes, a plant in it would be perfect.
Hahahah 😂 I just found it so cursed. My partner actually thought it was hilarious and was said I smashed it. He said I should try and find a use for the feet on something else 😂
I loved it too. It's good that people have different tastes in what you like. Shelby - maybe you could secretly do a version of it for your partner as a surprise (depending on how much you think he really loved it).
I actually really want one, pity I live in the uk :(
I Love Love Love this new format! Great creative idea!
Love the gnome, would have loved the horse if it had been crafted better. You are setting a good example of not holding on to things which do not work for you. Not bringing them across and cluttering up your lovely new space. Better to pass them on. 😄👍💖
I so loved the face and foot planter as well as the gnome! I’m sad you smashed the planter, but I understand!!
Hi Shelby! Happy to see you back regularly. Your first mold looks like Notre Dame to me. Maybe?
I like the gnome it’s cute and the idea of doing something Lisa frank inspired is so cool I love her art and your art
I am loving this series! And I agreed with you on all of them. The gnome is so cute. I love the idea of hiding one in a friends house and then when they visit you, they hide it in your house. Very fun!
I'll bet the cathedral is a lid, and the rest of the box is somewhere. Not sure what it would be FOR, but that's what it looks like. Maybe something to hold communion wafers? It looks a bit like St. Patrick's Cathedral in NYC.
I agree the ugly mug is a big no.
The horse is beautiful but yeah it looks so delicate.
Love the little gnome, he's charming! Thank goodness you found one that's a winner!
Holy crap just saw you featured on my Spotlight emails!!! Congratulations!
I am loving this series-- just as much but in a different way from the original mystery moulds!
The first mold could be a trivet! That would explain why it is to heavy to go on the wall. It would be nice painted in unrealistic colors like pastel or psychedelic.
The other two I agree smash. Can't wait to see the gnome in the main series!
Looks a little like St Patrick's cathedral in New York. I don't think there was much you found do without just scraping the image and adding your own work to it, or making it a tray or something. I think all the passes were a good count and I'm loving this series!
I think the gnome is David the Gnome (David, el Gnomo or David de Kabouter). A staple of my childhood!
The gnome is the best for sure but I kinda liked the funny mug with the feet lol I thought it might be a garden plant pot
That mug with the face would make a cute planter though! Reminds me of the pots my mom use to paint.
So glad you found one you love! Your joy and sense of fun are contagious 😁
I'd totally put the gnome on a bookshelf. I think it would be such a cute surprise!
I feel like the gnome sat on a teapot handle or something similar would be adorable
It would be cute to paint the shape that the gnome holds like a present, like Christmas or valentines or just brown paper wrapped.
That cup set off my fight or flight instinct 😂
The feet mug or fug if you will, was horrifying....stuff of nightmares
Definitely St Paul's from the Google search I just did. I love old cathedrals.
Absolutely love this series!! I think you were right about all the moulds, although the frame was beautiful I feel like it doesn't really match your style, but the gnome is sooo cute can't wait to see it again in a mystery mould video 🥰
I think you're right and there's not much you can do with it as-is, but I think there could be some cool things as separate pieces, the picture applied to the side of a big jar or vase maybe, then the frame to accessorize, carve, stamp or whatever, to use for other work.
I think the first one is an LDS temple. :) Not sure which one. Love your channel! Keep it up!
You made the right choices. That tooth foot thing gave me the heeby jeebies. When it squirted liquid slip as you squished it, it was like it was having one final icky hurrah. The little gnome is so cute I would purchase one.
Lol hiding it in a friend's house 😂that is a really funny idea!
I love this series! It’s a good supplement to the full length ones you do. Keep it up! I loved the horse shape but agreed it’s far too delicate. The gnome is for sure the best.
I love this series! Thank you!
I loved to little foot mug. He was adorable
Agree with all four decisions! Thanks for sharing!!
The little gnome! He sits on a shelf! I love him!
I love this series! Honestly it is so much fun and we get that Mystery Mold kick getting to see several reveals.
I would of most definitely kept the weird cup!!! It would of made such a great conversation piece in my garden
Definitely think you chose right! Love the gnome! I can see him in a book nook scene, or on a tea set or on a stick to put in a flowerpot ❤
