- 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. The piece will be smashed hehe not like the usual way.
CAST= 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!

I suggest pairing the lily pad plate with a tea cup. The lotus flower could either be placed at the bottom of the cup or attached to a tea infuser. **
That is brilliant!
Then Shelby can stick the frog on the outside of the cup!
Expanding on this idea: Lily pad as the saucer, flower placed at the base of the cup, and the frog can be used as a tea bag holder. I’m thinking if you were to cut a slit in the side of the frog for the tea bag string to slide in, the frog can then be placed across the top of the cup (all it’s legs resting on the rim!!)
This is such a great idea. I would love a tea cup with a lily pad saucer. So cute.
genius
the moment I saw the frog, I was like it belongs on a mug. climbing up the side and peeping over the rim. drinking while the frog looks at you.
Cute idea!
The lions look like they should hold a door knocker.
I had lion holding a door knocker on a bathroom door I one of the places I rented years ago. I loved it so much
Yes! Or that they should go next to a fireplace in a medieval castle! I had the same thought!
Yup. That is what I thought they were
Or a water fountain with water coming out the mouth! 🤷♀️
I was thinking bookends, decorative bust in a library…
I love the little frog. It looks like in the middle of a jump. Let it sit half on the leave and half off. I think it would be a great holder for rings or brushes. 🐸
Yes, my idea too 😊
I would love him to sit on my desk to look oh so cute!
The frog an lily pad could be a incense burner or a spoon rest for cooking
Oooh! I like the spoon rest idea!
My thoughts exactly.
Or you make a fontain with it ❤️
If you make the frog into a magnet, it will look like they jumped an stuck to the fridge! Just imagine how colorful and bright they will look. Dart frogs is what I am thinking.
The round vase can be used for Halloween! Put a cork in it to make it look like a potion bottle.
Hope everyone is having a Happy Healthy New Year so far!
Gold lions heads would make a nice Christmas ornament.
I liked the lions! If I went to a paint-your-own-pottery place and got one of those, I'd paint it with a green mane with little flowers, and a yellow muzzle, and it would be a dandelion
The lions look like they have a place to put a hole in the mouth so I immediately thought about using them on a wall fountain with the water coming out of the mouth. The lily pad looks big enough to hold the other frog that you revealed last time. And the flower is always in the water close to the lily pad.
I think you’re correct!! I think I’ve seen this at the garden stores…like a wall hanging thing with a bowl under to catch the water..I think you know what I mean !
Yes, all of this! I think it would be cute to keep all of the pieces from the lily pad set separate (don't physically attach them together) so that you can rearrange them however you want in different ways.
I thought the same about the 🦁
I recently had an opportunity to buy some old molds from an abandoned storage unit. I told my daughter I was going to make some "Shelbys" and she knew exactly what I was planning! Thank you for the inspiration and lovely videos.
With the bobblehead...I think you put a metal spring on the neck before placing the head on.
I LOVE that beautiful moon vase. It is very hard to throw on the wheel so having a mold opens up your creativity. The bobble head mouse is too cute.
Maybe the frog and lily pad don’t need to be stuck together. They could sit separately on a surface to form a scene.
I think with your creativity the lions could be something cool . They sort of go with your moon and sun vibe thing . They could also be cool on the side of a plant pot or something, they’re very handsome.
That lily pad would make such a cute saucer! And maybe the frog and the lily could be attachments for a matching mug or teapot?
The one way I could imagine the lion working with your style was if it was painted like a stone statue with plenty of vines and leaves, as if it were in a garden of a large estate--sort of a secret garden aesthetic.
The lions also give me door knocker vibes or book ends. Love the idea of the previous comment to tea theme the leave and water lilly
The little froggy is *EVERYTHING* ☺☺☺☺
OMG, The mouse Bobble Head!! That will turn out delightful after you work your magic on it!
The Lions! I love them. So many possibilities
I like the lion heads for a garden. LOVE the bobble head!
I love the lion heads as soon as I saw them I thought of them being on a rectangular/square candle holder either in one solid colour, colour blocking or even you painting animal prints or your own beautiful patterns on them 🙂
Those lion heads would be great for somebody who wants to do a Harry Potter theme knocker. You could just bake it and let somebody else glaze it whatever they want.
I like the Lions, but the way they are I could see how they'd be hard to work into what you do. Hopefully they find a nice home. Love the lily pad, but don't like the frog in it. The circle vase is so beautiful.
I saw the body and immediately went BOBBLE head, so i'm with you on it being a bobble head. haha
I want the round vase with the lions head attached, painted in black and gold to put bright pink flowers in!
Yes!
I like the Lions too! The frog is in jumping position. The vase is great for scenery and such, can't wait to see what yiu do with it! All you need is to attach the spring for the Bobble head! So cute that was fun!
I love the lion heads
Shelby you need a big spring to put on the post of the bobble head mouse. Make sure it's long enough to stick out so your head piece can sit on it properly, it'll help it bobble better. Can't wait to see what you do with it 😁
You had so much fun with that frog 😂 🐸 your laughs had me laughing
I like the lions but then I’m a Leo. The mouse is definitely a bobble head. I remember them from the 70s.
I'm a Leo too, and it made me so sad when she smashed it. I hated the mouse. So old lady.
Love the lions! They could be showcased on a whimsical coat of arms crafted from unicorn heads, mushrooms, and teeny mice or birds. ❤
Loved the lion heads.
The frog looks like he is floating in the water next to the lily pad...or hanging on a wall...or coffee cup. 😊
Fun reveal. Some thoughts about the lions head. Make the mane rainbow colors or make the whole thing like a sunflower, dark in the middle with yellow around. Try antiquing it. Thats all I got. :)
I was thinking rainbow / multicoloured lion too.
You could make starry space lions or adorable tiny flower lions! Or use them at the center of a large flower!
Imagine the vase with the lion's head on it, surrounded by the lily pads and flowers in different colours. But yeah, the lions aren't really your style, are they... It's easy to tell with how you reacted to the different casts here.
The vase is gorgeous. So many things you can do with it from modern to country. Can't wait to see what you create.
The lion heads would make a grate lamp or interesting wall plate or a tiel for a wall
The lions would pretty on the vase. I love the lions.
3:46 Oh my goodness, I guessed frog and lily pad when you told us to guess for the first one! I feel like I earned a pat on the back.
Could you make a candleholder of the lily and frog? Like, the frog holds the candle? That would look amazing I think
The lion would be great for a mug additive! It would work for the renascence festival crew!!
Wish I had the Leo's. cause I am one. 🦁 Love it. 💕 Have fun.
God Bless.. From Oklahoma.
I love it that your assistants get the mold ready for you! Great idea!
I think the vase would look amazing as an addition to your Australian plants designs - flowering gum, etc.
My best guess for both the lion head and frog with Lilly pad that both were meant for water features. Honestly both could be used to make some really cool/cute garden decor.
I could see a rockin’ lion head pendant. Could also add sunglasses to him😎
The frog on the lily pad is giving me Rose on the wooden board in Titanic vibes!
The lion heads would look cool mounted on some wood bookends
I love that super round vase. So much potential there! 😁
I made a bunch of those mice in the 70s. They definitely are bobbleheads! ❤🐭
The lions could have a hook installed in the mouth for key holders on a wall, the lotus for the frog could be an incense stick holder 😊
Maybe the frog is meant to attach with a spring so it looks like it’s hopping on or from the Lilly pad?
The lion head reminds me of a water fountain in a old Italian village.
The lilypad could be a incents holder.
Yes a bobble-head. I remember seeing many different varieties of these in the 70s.
The frog and Lilly pad would make a cute jewelry holder!
I enjoyed the genuine surprise of having not seen the molds before. It was even more fun than the other.
Oooh fun molds this week! That mouse is so cheeky, I love it XD
I love your thoughtfulness and joy and excitement. Stay positive always.
5:10 he’s sunbathing and trying to get a tan, he’s better than other frogs like that.
What, have you never been a frog on a warm sunny day trying to escape from the chaos of reality, just to lay on a lily pad???
…. 😂
Maybe put the jumping frog on the side of the vase? 😊I could see him leaping “around” the vase at an angle. :)
Love the bobble head!
The lion's are adorable, but I agree they aren't really Shelby's style. I do imagine that somewhere out there someone has terracotta casts from that mould hanging from the painted brick walls that boarder their backyard or pool area.
😂 I had that “bobble head” mouse! It had a cap inside the head and the neck was threaded, and my grandmother would put some of her perfume in it for me.
Frogs look like that when they are jumping off the lily pad.
That round vase really is such a good shape! If I had it I’d definitely be making it into a tea pot asap
could the lily pad and the frog float in a pond? I have no idea if a stone could float, if it is hollow maybe...maybe this is a stupid comment, but it just occurred to me 😉
Lions head: Garden Nania ❤
Frog/lily pad: i need that in my garden asap. 😍
Vase: Agree… Stunning
Mouse: my newest favorite 🐭 ❤👏🏻
The froggy is sun bathing 😂
Oh, MY! I actually underglazed & glazed that very same bobble-headed mouse when I was in girl scouts WAY back! My son has it now and still laughs at it! A glorious find! 😂😂
Love the lion heads. They could be put onto so many things and used in so many ways you should reconsider!
The lions look like they could become a cute fountain. The hose would emit a water stream from the mouth. Could be cute with a mini fairy garden.
Maybe you can bend the frogs arms so it hooks onto a plant pot so it hangs off the side. The lily pad would make a cute saucer under a tea cup.
Shelby would you ever be interested in making a time line video so we can see how long a piece makes from pour to ready to sell? I've learned so much watching you but I'm also curious about the time length of the process. We see you, pour tip, paint dried bisque fired pieces, and then fire pieces.
I think it'd be really cool to have an Hour 0 pour, x hours tip, x days to dry, x hours first fire, and so on. It would be really cool to see how much time it actually taikes start to finish on most pieces. I know that dying time will change based on season and weather, or how long it sets before you tip will change based on the pieces, but I'm so curious about what a start to finish timeline looks like!
I’d love to see you do the lions in your style just once. I think you’d be surprised. I’d also love to see them in terra cotta just nice.
The round vase is reminding me of the pottery that Cher’s character made in Witches of Eastwick.
the lions would be cool for anyone who does space or victorian-esque floral aesthetics, I think. like for the space you could make the mane all galaxy-like with stars, constellations, and sparkles. and for a victorian floral there can be 3d flowers added and it gets painted in very soft pastels.
Oh my gosh, if you decide to do a tiger on the round vase, it would be an instant buy from me! Not only because tigers are my fave animal, but because the vase is another wonderful Duncan Fresno mold, and I'm born and raised in Fresno! The thought of that mold having flown all the way to Aussie only for the finished product to fly its way back sounds incredible
I could see the lily pad with the flower put on a metal stake, and the frog on another stake so that he’s in mid-jump (either back legs in the air or front legs in the air).
Then the could be put in a garden.
The lily pad could be used to hold just a little bit of bird seed or to hold sugar syrup to feed bees (I have a saucer that I’ve done this with during droughts when all the flowers die).
Or it could just be adorable looking like a frog hopping among the bushes and flowers.
Seeing the lion heads reminded me of door knockers in goid old England. I would paint them with gold finish.
Shelby !!!!! EBAY Vintage lily pad/ frog shows up first picture for me. Except no flower.
The lion heads would make for amazing funky door knockers
You could tell an entire story on that vase just like how they did in ancient Greece!
How about a cartoon version of Greek vases like in the Disney movie Hercules?
Lilypad is a coaster for a mug with frogs. That vase there you put the lionhead on and make it yellow or make some sunflowers on it and the lion also in sunflower colours
The lily pad would be such a cute match with those bigger sponge holder frogs. Also fun fact. for the first one I guessed a frog bowl and the second one contained a frog lol.
I love the circle vase and your reaction with it.
I think the frog could be sun bathing in that splat position!
The mouse you could do both bobble head and an attached head orniment, also think it might look good with the flower hats from the ducks.
The lily pad and the flower is the base, the frog is the accessory. Bake the base and the frog separately and then the frog BALANCES on top of the lily which is why he’s splayed out like that.
Maybe make a soap dish out of a leaf and a frog. Place the frog close to the edge and make a few small holes in the leaf so that the water can drain out.
Greatings from Germany 😊
The frog would make a great garden decoration.
The lions would look cool on a mug with the tail being the handle. Stay cool my dear Shelby, just ignore any nastiness, your subscribers love you xx
I had a figurine similar to the mouse. There was a spring placed on the long neck from inside the head. The spring slid onto the neck, creating a bobblehead.
Love the frog. I imagine The lily pad flower on top of the frog as a magical frog flower.
So for the frog I suggest hanging chains down from the frog limbs and attaching the lily pad to make a small plant holder. I think it would be so cute
Or make a froggy wind chime with dangles off those outstretched limbs!
With your interest in candel holders, the lily pad would be a great base! Could have the lotus flower going up the candel holder side even
The frog and Lily pad together would make a cute incense holder!
Frog and flower on a mug, the lily pad is the saucer!
The lions could be drawer handles for kids rooms or really fun adult rooms too!!
So happy to see a new video. The frog is a little weird. Maybe find a small frog in a sitting position. The round vase has infinite posibility. It brought mind the words from a song. A cork and "love potion #9. The mouse just makes me smile. Have fun with these. Keep going. ❤😊
Your art is so inspiring!! Keep up the groovy work
ooooh. That round vase would be perfect to attach the frog and lilypad to.
