Ep. 6. You are not going to like my decisions this week! - Playing 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. The piece will be smashed hehe not like the usual way.
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!
I can’t believe I have to say this. This is a kindness zone only. If you do not speak with kindness you will be blocked. No warnings. Comment privileges will be banned on all future videos.
I created this series as a bit of fun. The intention is to try and cull some moulds. You aren’t always going to like my opinions. I see the potential in everything too but I am trying to CULL! I am being more ruthless than what I would be because I can’t bring them all over to the new studio with me. The mystery moulds are coming back and I will be doing pieces where I don’t necessarily like them too! This was just meant to be a bit of fun where I open a few moulds, give you some different content, have some real time reactions with the bonus that I get to rehome some moulds before I move them all over.
Having a different opinion and not agreeing with my choices is no excuse to speak to me with awful, crude, rude and nasty language.
It’s hurtful. I thought as a community we were all better than that.
It takes a lot to put these videos out. So much time. I also get nervous and vulnerable every single week. I know they mean a lot to so many of you and I love sharing them. A few people have sucked that joy out this week so I need to remind you… if you are not kind, come from a place of understanding or are rude in anyway you will be blocked. No second chances. I need to keep this community safe so I can continue sharing these videos.
So sorry you have to deal with that Shelby. Sending love from Scotland. Love your work xx
Im so sorry you've experienced unkind words in the comments - people really can suck! I loved the vid, and your reactions. You're a true aussie gem ❤
Oh, that's sad! I love this series, whether I agree with your choices or not!! ❤
I’ve already had someone saying I can’t take ‘criticism’ please know that criticism and being a nasty person are two seperate things. Sometimes they are not mutually exclusive. Please be aware of the difference of having an opinion and bringing someone down using your ‘criticism’ as a front to be nasty. Critics are always welcome when I have asked for them ie; ideas about the boot, your thoughts in the comments. Criticism is not welcome when it is not asked for. People are allowed to exist without unwelcome opinions by others.
This person has been blocked for completely misunderstanding the point of this community and this comment.
You can have an opinion without being rude. You can share thoughts without being nasty about me as a person, how I look and what styles I like. I would never ever make someone else feel awful about their appearance, their art style or their content based on the fact that I have a different opinion. Difference is what makes us beautiful.
Sheesh! Another strange day of being on the internet! I get bad comments all the time but this video really brought out some creatures.
Sending love and support from Canada! Sorry, you have to deal with rudeness. 😔
On a lighter note, what do you plan on doing with the smash molds? Are they going back on Gumtree? Or will the cursed ones truly be smashed?
I am now wanting a "Cursed to Cute" series where you take the cursed molds and do your best to make them cute with your artwork! 💖
What a cool idea!! ‘Can I turn this kind of cursed piece into something cute’ I love it!! I’m keeping all the pieces until the end just in case 😅
I love this idea!! I would love to see that as a little series!!
Love this idea!!!!
That would be cool to do!
Oh my gosh 😂 yes!
The boots are sometimes known as “Paris boots”. Very popular in Victorian to Edwardian eras. You would need a button hook to do them up. (That looks like a little Shepherd’s crook)
The Pennsylvania Amish don’t put faces on their dolls for religious reasons. They believe if a doll has a face, a demon can possess it ( and watch you sleep…)
I would love a cow playing the Banjo!!! Love your series!
My first thought about the boot was "moulin rouge" Paris. But maybe it was the dansen you did... 😂
That is so cool! I didn’t know what era they were from! I actually tried looking them up whilst it dried but found nothing because I was clearly looking up the wrong words! If only I looked up button instead of Sutton 😂
Thank you so much for the info about the Amish! I had no idea!
@@ShelbySherritt the boots are the right shape for about 1860-1890. I have a pair of them and they could come in all sorts of colors or patterns. There are some lovely brocade and patterned velvet ones and embroidered/beaded ones and ones with metallic leather applique details. You can't go wrong with decorating them!
Yep, they’re molded after Victorian button boots! Moulin Rouge is set in 1900 so it would make sense that the dancers are wearing similar shoes, you weren’t completely off 😄
If you want to see some real example, American Duchess has some called Women’s Victorian Button Boots in stock that look almost exactly the same. There’s also a RUclips channel called Priorattire that has videos of historical outfits that feature boots like these, she also has various styles.
Yes, I was thinking Victorian and/or Edwardian era too. I actually have a little tin of boot buttons from that era that one of my Grandmother’s friends gave me years ago.
The quilting dolls (the first ones) have tiny black dots for eyes. The circles are the cheeks. And the armish doll does not have a face because in their culture and beliefs they believe that you should not worry about how people look and about the whole vanity stuff, so all the children’s dolls don’t have faces
Yes! Thank you. I said the same. Not the same as Amish dolls, but a very popular style in the 90’s
Ahhh that makes so much sense! I thought they were patchwork eyes and then I couldn’t see past it!
😊@@ShelbySherritt I tole painted during the 80's and country was "in" as well as tiny black dots for eyes. I had to chuckle as you tried to figure it out. So fun to see those crafts through new eyes.
I thought the sitting doll was so cute. It's perfect for a bookshelf. 😊
That’s actually such a cute idea ❤ I really like the fact that it sits but also how the dress moves as if it’s sitting too ❤
I thought your mushroom hat idea would have been cute with making it a pot/vase. I could totally see dried flowers ‘in’ the back of the hat
This reminded me of a snowman stocking holder someone made for me when i was younger.
Also the country craft movement in America had a lot of faceless dolls too. They would just be a blank skin color. I collected dolls as a kid and had a few of them.and to me they are cute but creepy. These faceless characters are still popular in some areas like the willow figures don't have faces.
The boot looks like possibly Victorian or Edwardian style button boot - they were worn by most ladies not just in the Burlesque - but totally understood what you meant by the Can Can dancers and the Moulin Rouge.
I agree, very victorian look. late 1800s
Yes, definitely Victorian!!
Little dolls: "I like the details but dislike the entire thing"
Cows: "Overall adorable, having had time to inspect details no thanks."
There's some poetry there.
Hahaha it’s been hard making quick decisions! I have been going for a rule that if I kind of don’t like something it will get smashed just so I can actually get rid of some moulds! Otherwise I think I would keep them all 😅
@@ShelbySherritt Yea it is hard :D As an artist to another artist it is hard, but sometimes it has to be done. Few days ago I've done huge purge of my old sketches and illustrations, I was keeping them for years and the pile of dusty paper I was just annoyed by was growing - now I use only sketchbooks for that reason. And I had to make the hard decision to put the sentiment aside and throw a lot of that away or reuse it as a bedding for my parrot cage. I left sketches that I really like or are very sentimental for me, but I threw/reused everything else because I kept those since I was in high school and didn't want to throw them away for years, even though I wasn't even taking them out of the drawer anymore.
@@Nika44 You can always take pictures of them. It's easier to keep gigabytes than stacks of paper.
@@ShelbySherritt I admire your try at not hoarding! I'm an eclectic crafter (ADHD, I finish, but don't usually go back to a type of craft).
Now we're preparing for a move, and I regret my tendencies to keep everything. 😂
Traditional Armish Dolls don’t have faces as it is believed that having a face on a doll will incarage the child to be vain.
'encourage'
That's really fascinating. And also a bit strange.
@@GuanoLad thanks, have sever dyslexia and a long day so my spelling I’d really BAD
I thought it was because the bible says something about not carving a graven image (making an idol) exodus 20 so they don’t put faces on things, I think it’s something similar with Muslim dolls too.
@@kirstenbowman1199 this is exactly why we should not correct people’s grammar on the internet. My brother and daughter are severely dyslexic and this sort of carry on doesn’t help at all.
Came here to comment something similar but glad you did it first and with the reason why the dolls dont have faces which I didn't remember. Thanks 😊
Amish dolls traditionally don't have faces. Their belief is "all are alike in the eyes of God." I kinda think they're sweet but I get your fear of creepy dolls! Now the Victorian boot with flowers is beautiful!
I didn’t know this! It’s actually so interesting! I’m scared it might look creepy still! I don’t know how to work with the piece to not make it creepy or whether to lean in and make it creepy which is why I smashed it 😅 I don’t want to cause nightmares
Though it's nothing huge, I really appreciated how you described the cow family by what they were wearing/holding, and not as "the mom cow" and "the dad cow" 😊
the milk cans from the cow mold are really cute. i feel it could look really cute stuck to a jug to make a little milk jug
I was going to say the same thing!
@@QuivaRPG Or an oversize knob for a butter dish?
I absolutely adore that boot! I can totally see it with a 70s style flower pattern or something more 60s inspired like a mod-style pattern. Shapewise it's very reminiscent of a Victorian button boot though, so maybe that's another cool angle for a more dainty flower pattern. Love your work and personality, lots of love from the Netherlands!
Ooh I love all of these ideas ❤ I have learnt so much about the boot so I’m excited to do some more style guide research to see what patterns and colours were more prominent ❤
My first thought of the cow family was... these are anthropomorphic cows. The milk buckets imply they're still being milked... and that's very strange for me.
I think they’ve made the cows mouths like that because that’s what happens when they are chewing (top jaw and bottom jaw rotate in kind of opposite ways). So it’s like a picture has been taken of them mid-mouthful (which would make sense if there was grass hanging out of their mouths).
The lobster claws though 😅😝
I mean in fairness cows do have split hooves, but the proportions seem a little off. I think painted it would be toned down though, especially if painted the natural black!!!
I agree, its the lobster 🦞 feet the wrecks it. The chewing cudd faces are a cute addition, the feet are unforgivable! They are in need to see the HoofGP!
I think you are spot on with the chewing thing. Cows are always chewing their cud even when not eating. Its part of their digestive process. It might be often and not always lol. Goats are always and that's where most my experience lives.
Yes totally agree! They do have split hooves but the proportions are off! I think it could be workable to maybe smooth them over a bit so they are more rounded and less of a split!
You should save all these creepy ones for a Halloween special lol
I love that idea!
Oh that hilarious.
The cows, too! They'd be hilarious spooky.
That style of boot was very popular in the late Victorian period into the Edwardian period, and sort of combined the spats look directly into the shoe, no spats required. That kind of shoe required a buttonhook to put on, because of all those little buttons! Didn't have zippers back then. I love this design, it would be so cute with all sorts of colors and styles! I can see it painted turquoise and put in a sewing room, or given a lovely china pattern and filled with hat pins, or even painted black and purple and green, like a witch for Halloween! It would be so cute to see your style of flowers and gum leaves painted all over it, too!
The boot is calling for a collab with Nicole Rudolph here on RUclips! She is a historical researcher and shoemaker. I think she can help you pinpoint the exact time period based on the shape of the boot, and give you inspo on how you can paint it, based on patterns and motifs from the era. The video you make can be very educational and fun!
Oh my gosh! Thank you for sharing this creator! I’ll start watching and getting some research done
@@ShelbySherritt no probs, always happy to be of service ☺️ Nicole is one of my favourites on RUclips, I watch every single video she puts out. A crossover between you two would be amazing!
Eek yessss!!! I love Nicole too!!
Oh! I was hoping for sweet cows jumped-over-the-moon like the counting-sheep. But these are giving og centaur, cursed child trapped in a labyrinth, county freak show vibes. Drfinite smash.
I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you for all of your hard work to bring us along on the journey of discovery.
I'm 90% confident that my aunt had those Victorian era boot vases in her basement hair salon!
I feel like you have the best arm muscles ever! Thank you for making the world smile and bringing joy.
Hi, the first 4 with weird faces, were a popular country style rag doll in the US some years back. The circles were the cheeks and the eyes were two close set tiny black dots like the glasses indicate. That was all the face the doll got. However, the Amish doll can have a very pretty face, you paint faces all the time and it would look good with your style, no problem. Or you can paint it how one might paint a flat fabric doll face, look online. Usually two nice shaped eyes with lashes, two tiny dot nostrils and pouty lips. I think you might end up liking the Amish doll. No fear! lol
That last doll resembles quite a lot like Anne of Green Gables ☺️
Yess I see that too!
Love this series, great way to work through the moulds quicker! Also, spotted you in a spotlight ad I got on instagram the other day here in NZ, making the big time girl!!! Keep it up!!! 💕
Edit: I loved the boot!!! That is amazing!!!!!! Dream mould!!!
To me the boot is an Edwardian period boot, they had the pearl like button look which is considered more 'dressy' than the traditional lace ups, which usually had a scallop or curve to them, so your associations arent farfetched at all! To do the buttons up, they usually used a tool called a button hook to pull them through because it could hurt fingers ect, the style im not sure what they're called, but thats all I really know about them as a little bit of a Victorian/Edwardian fashion lover 😅I made stickers of that style boot for the Ōtepoti (Dunedin) Zinefest in 2021!!
I can't help but lmao at the cute things you find weird and/or creepy. You would be absolutely terrified in my house! 😆 We're very different people, but although I'd make other choices personally, I'm really enjoying this series and your channel.
Hahahah I think I would be too! I grew up with grandparents who collected dolls. I always used to be terrified walking to the bathroom during sleepovers because the display cabinets always used to rattle and I thought it was them moving and getting up to try and escape 😅 plus watching horror movies in my older years! Eek maybe a redemption is in order but lean into my childhood fears 😅 or maybe I send it to a creator who is very good at that style and does their little twist on it!
Could I just say, I think your profile picture is so cute!
@@ShelbySherrittI love the idea of giving someone else a go at these, maybe you will like them in the end, working on them yourself will probably creep you out even more 😅
This is my favourite part of Friday mornings!
I came in during the mystery mould era. Loving this new series. I really enjoy watching your process and the things you actually like and how sometimes it’s so different to my tastes (possibly a reflection of our different ages too).
Thank you for sharing your work and thought process with us. ❤
I like the last doll. She's so cute!
I have a cast metal boot that looks almost exactly like the one you have here. I use it for dried flowers and its so pretty!
Omg my grandmother used to have a vase of that boot when I was a kid. Hers was black with red lace work painted on it. Such a blast from the past haha
I 100% agree with all of your decisions. The boot is so cute! It looks like a Victorian era boot if that helps you track it down. The boot was definitely the only one I liked out of this batch.
I totally agree with your decisions on this one! Love the Victorian walking boot! They only had buttons on one side. Ladies had to use a hook to do all those buttons up!
Loved the doll shelf sitter. Thank you for sharing.
I LOVE your dress 🥰
I like the dolls haha! I find them adorable.
The cows are fun 😊 lol.
Omg the victorian boot is lovely!!
The boot 👢 is gorgeous and there are endless possibilities for color, texture, etc. I cant wait to see what you do with that one.
I liked the cows at first but your points are valid on the weird mouths and lobster claw hooves 😂
We love you Shelby!
Small ask, could you up the amount of moulds to 5 please? My reason is because its a nice odd number, with more chance of finding a pass. The real reason, being I am loving this series!! This is so fun! ❤ And I can't get enough!! 😊
Hehe I have already filmed the whole series! The idea is I want to get rid of some moulds before moving them all over ❤ there will still be plenty of weird and wonderful cuties that I will do when the series returns ❤
@@ShelbySherritt that's alright, I'm just being greedy. I think a combination of the triviality of searching your mystery moulds plus the vibe I get from your beautiful work space with the warm light just cheers me up so much. I even make sure I've done my chores and sorted my dogs before playing your videos then I watch them a second time with my husband who is a secret new fan. 😊
Love the sitting doll! Since it seems very raggedy Ann doll, it would be cute adding buttons for eyes. And then have it hang out in thr garden.
I am crying laughing at the cursed one!! You are so funny!!
Boot looks like it's from 1870-ish, especially side buttons. Heel shape is a bit too square, it usually arched, somewhere between lois heel and straight one; i would say it's somewhat modern interpretation of 1870 style shoes, i strongly recommend to look at historical pieces, because they are so so cool!
That's a really nice boot....so many ideas for that!!!
Primitive dolls. Big cheeks, dots for eyes. They were country style decor. Those are cute, but I understand, it’s not your style or esthetic. I don’t know how popular they were in Australia, but they were in the U.S.. They are much more cuter when made as a stuffed rag doll, not a porcelain figurine. I avoid scary movies, especially ones with dolls in them. Even the commercials get me weirded out about some dolls. And I like dolls, of many kinds, but nope to scary ones. Coralline scared me, and I was a full grown adult when I watched it! And it was an animation!!! Thanks for sharing! These are fun!
I totally agreed with you on your choices! I see kindness and fun in your videos. I do not make or do any sort of pottery (besides buying pieces) so I watch just to enjoy your reactions. Keep up the beautiful work!!
I love this series Shelby. Look forward to watching your funny reactions to the pieces.❤
The boot made me think of my Great Grandma… she used to collect those little tiny shoes and I swear she had a tiny one like that!!!!!
AAA we thought the same thing! That would make a wild and pretty vase! I was half expecting something like my one beer mug I have called Das Boot
Oooh I have a thing for ceramic boots! I don't have this shape though! The one I bought most recently has hand painted, large, yellow roses with green leaves ALL over it. So pretty. I'm glad you're keeping it. I would love to see in a short if you could maybe flatten the back of the boot a little then cut a hole for hanging on a wall and make a boot wall pocket? I started a collection of vintage wall pockets and this boot would look amazing on my wall!
On a side note...I adore your little collection of tins on your top shelf! I just found one while thrifting last week that is the same shape as your green one with yellow flowers. I've never seen one of these in the States before. It's marked 'Chein 1979' and it is printed with an apartment building that has a bakery and a Dr. who gives piano lessons. LOL so random...
Love your videos! Love your style!
Crystal
The boot is from the victorian era (1820 to 1914)...it was a pretty common style for women. They had 3 types of shoes in that era...the dress slipper, boot, and the clog (all had similar shape and style) those boots specifically being made out of leather and rubber. Some were made to be fashion boots so the material could be suede or silk (whatever they wanted, when money is no object) and even painted with a fancy design. They were often decorated with ribbons, buckles and tassels. So it looks like you have a awesome piece to play with.
I did a costume presentation for a speech team contest in high-school, I had to present my costuming choices for a play I researched. Dressing the characters in period correct outfits...was my choice since it was never really portrayed correctly (the research is hard to forget)
I loved all those dolls you decided to not go for, but then again I have at least 8 faces “”watching me as I sleep”” as you put it, but they’ve never creeped me out. I just can’t see any of them being malicious. (Plus, in my mind I just know for certain that because an object resembles a person, that doesn’t suddenly increase its likelihood of suddenly gaining animation). To each their own, though, I just find it interesting hearing the opinions from the other side of the aisle
I blame my childhood! Getting freaked out by dolls at my graandparents house 😅 I didn’t realise it was so bad until I read these comments of people saying they are actually cool!
The boot is definitely the win of that lot. I can see how many options it presents you as an artist.
I had this ceramic doll when I was younger. Amish dolls do not have faces and I thought it was charming. Wish I still had it. It was painted cream with mauve-y pink and blue dress, with brown antiquing. So sweet.
The cows were fun but I agree the hooves were a bit exaggerated. You look so cute in your yellow dress! ❤ from Texas
NOOOOOOO! Or should I say, MOOOOOOO!!! Those cows were lovely! They can't help their weird mouths! I think you'd do fantastic work with them. Bring them back!
Loved the boot!!! I love cows too but I agree that they were not cute! The milk cans I loved! Could they be made into a small vase? The Amish girl sitting I loved as well! Almost loved the back more than the front!
It’s so funny how everyone’s tastes can be so different, I adored the dolls and the sitting girl but those cows gave me the creeps! 😅
I was soo excited to see the cows painted up. I think you could have done something really cute with them.
The boot is I believe Victorian, could be Edwardian though. The detail on one side is pretty accurate. Those bumps are buttons on the real shoe.
I love this series, and I would also be interested in seeing your initial reaction! could be so cute to see you rfirst impression upon opening the mold for the first time, cleaning it, and then pouring it up to show how it works, and what the molded piece will look like! Love the series, love the mystery molds in general, and love your attitude towards the ceramic building process!
Absolutely agree with all your decisions. Love the idea of a Victorian boot vase. ❤️
If you kept the sitting girl you could paint the blank face as a giant eye
🤭
Well now I want that to happen
Then she would always be watching you when you sleep
Love your style, love your vibe, love your videos, love that you’re a fellow Aussie (no disrespect to all the US & Canadian’s that I watch😊). You’re so bright and cheerful!! Keep it up!!!
One again i enjoy your vídeos and almost agree in every choice,i really loved the cows tho😢😢 but at the end you are the one who decides, it's your channel and it's your time and your space that you invest soooo, im looking foward for the rest of the pieces ❤
Greetings from Ecuador ❤🎉
That boot would look so good with a snakeskin texture, and gold lustre buttons! I’m picturing red snakeskin. Or opal kinda buttons? Really gorgeous, anyway!
I kinda love the doll at the end - if you leave the face blank, surely it couldn’t watch you sleep at night? 😇
Im super late to the party, but I am in love with the boot!!!! You definitely made the right decision in my opinion!!! Cheers!
The shoe would make a good witch's boot too, for Halloween & put darker dried flowers in it!😊
I think the can-can is famous for being performed at the Moulin Rouge in Paris! You’ll definitely get some inspiration googling that! 😊
You could even theme the boot for Halloween when that rolls round again. A witches boot. With curled up toe!
The Victorian boot is so cute! There is a company called American Duchess that makes historical replicas for cosplay/costuming/history bounding, and their Renoir boot is super similar!
oh i love that sitting doll so much! it reminds me of dolls i had when i was a child, their faces were painted and i loved them very much
Love the boot! It's a late 19th century/ early 20th century button-up boot. I would absolutely love it as a vase, can't wait to see what you do with it! The other ones were definitely cursed haha, I totally agree with you!
I just love looking at the background of your videos like seeing all the mugs and pottery waiting to be fired or painted. Idk I just find it really satisfying! ❤😊
The little doll mold reminds me of poppets and corn husk dolls. They could easily be made to look really cute or really cursed depending on personal style.
I stumbled on your videos while I was scrolling through shorts. Love this series sooooo much! Also, that was so many creepy children this time around lol
I love the cows mold. I especially love the cat and milk jugs. I hope you give them another chance and paint up a few.
That boot looks almost like what Arsene Lupin probably would’ve worn around his time period
I’m glad that you said that you passed on that boot because it does look really cool
Keep smiling beautiful lady, I look forward to your 🛎️, knowing I will smile through your presentation ❤️💜💛 From your smile to your outfits, from your amazing talent of transforming a blank ‘canvas’ to a piece of artwork! I THANK YOU 💜💛💙💚Sending love and hugs from Bacchus xxxxx
I really enjoy watching you. Thank You so much for filling up my evening.
The shoe mold is a pretty typical Edwardian walking boot, not particularly related to dancing. Extremely practical things.
You see it used a lot in 80’s/90’s prairie revival iconography.
It only buttons on one side, with the buttoned side facing outwards.
I believe that American Duchess sells a few pairs that are extremely similar to that, if you ever wanted to buy a real pair for yourself.
I would of kept the candle stick piece and just sliced off the Rose/ribbon off and made it your own. I could see one of the little teddies holding onto the corner instead of a thimble. Thank you for another great video x❤
The "cursed" dolls were popular in American in the early 90s when "Early American" decor was in style. I am with you...creepy.
I kinda like the last mould of the sitting girl. :)
My mom made clown dolls herself, and it reminded me of those. They have a firm and very textured fabric for skin and I could really see that texture in the face and on the hands. I don't know if it is possible to imprint a fabric texture into your clay. 🙈 But mum always sculpted a face for them, it was never just round, the eye sockets and cheek bones were there, here it seems they are not. I kinda get the creeps you get from them though. 😄 It's just that I have a different association when I see it. 😊
I actually really love seeing the clay smashed and kneaded like play-doh, so I didn't mind the smashing of these. 😅
aww. that last doll looked very cute to me. Similar to a doll i had as a little girl. her face was flat and just had eyes and a smile sewn on. The other ones were indeed a little odd. And I'm sure they have their place with the right person. The Boot just looks so fun! I'm sure you will make all sorts of amazing patterns on them!
I fully vote for bringing the cows back just for those jugs lol plus I feel like the hand would less claw like if you painted them black, lol.
Thanks so much for this new series. I absolutely love your content♡♡♡ I don't have a pottery studio near where I live any more and you help me get fix lol
This has been such a fun series! My Friday ritual has become watching these videos while eating dinner.
Seeing the different knick knack trends from years past is so interesting. I bet people will find our fake cacti, plastic llamas and embroidered sloths weird in the future.
The boot reminds me of the shoes Hermione Granger wore when she impersonated Bellatrix Lestrange in Deathly Hallows 😂
I think the straw hat was so cute - and I agree very Studio Ghibli. I wonder if you could use the back of the hat on other things.
That boot is awesome and I loved the little girl-figurine, that one, that can sit on a shelf. It reminded me of Sarah Kay. I loved those drawings as a little girl and that figurine reminded me of them.
Ohhhh I’m seeing a glorious plaid pattern on that boot!
The creepy dolls and cows would make same interesting Halloween decorations.
Shelby you are so kind. I love your videos. Just block and ignore ignorant people. This world loves to be rude. I'm sensitive and it's hard not to be hurt, I totally understand. Just know so many people love your videos. They are such wonderful stress relief for me watching the mystery molds. 💜
I did a search, the boot style is a Victorian style button boot , popular in the late 1800's. I agree with the dolls, especially the one without a face, gave me the heebie geekiest 😮.
The dolls would be cute made into lil creepy gingerbread people for Christmas lol
I would love to see the milk can + cat made and put onto the side of a mug! 😊
The cows are fun!
I agree, dolls are cursed! Can't wait to see what the boot looks like all finished!
Hahaha thank you for understanding!
Amish dolls don't have faces it's due to religious beliefs. Love your videos! I really dig the high heel boot!
I didn’t know this!! So interesting and I kind of like the piece a bit more! Especially knowing it can’t watch me without a face 😅
I love the Victorian shoe. It would make a great Halloween decoration.
I agree on your choices! The vibe check is crucial and I like seeing you trust yours. I have a single leather boot of that style that my grandmother preserved from her mother or grandmother...it's so cool! Very Mary Poppins.
I would adore that boot deep rich red with black or gold buttons and a lace pattern on the toe in black would be gorgeous and a nod to that Victorian Era ❤
As a child, I never liked dolls. I believed they all came alive at night. I have granddaughters now who always want to play "babies", sadly, I don't participate, but my husband is the champion baby player with his granddaughters ❤ thank you for producing your videos, I appreciate you sharing with us. You are correct. Just block all negativity , no second chance.
the dolls with the big patches where popular back in the day-- those patches you thought where eyes are actually the cheeks-- they where designed to no have the eyes and to have a whimsical approach to them-- the amish girl is on purpose not supposed to have a face as the amish feel it would cause problems-- ie hauntings and possible child deaths...its thier beleif not to create dolls with faces-- I am actually in love with all of these molds today! I would have passed them all! so much creativity on them all!
