💀Learning a dead Victorian art💀: Plaster ceiling bats

[@kingdomstead9394]

I adore you for putting “it isn’t cool how I talked to myself” or similar over your real reaction where you called yourself stupid. Cos yeah, we do that, and yeah it isn’t cool, & you showing that teaches me so much better that a “speak kindly to yourself” poster or whatever. (Though those are awesome too & they help too). I just love your realness, thank you!

[@michellekaraocorn]

I, personally am worse, lol. Spent a lot of time alone the last couple of years, due to my own issues lol. I've really noticed that the talking to myself and calling myself stupid, moron, idiot, ect lol has become a regular occurrence. Nvm yelling at inadiment objects, ie TV, YT, ect lol

[@virusDETECTED]

I was not expecting you to be so… Real? I just adore you kept in the struggle of a broken sculpt, your reaction, your pep talk, all of it. I really needed it. Now I’ll be noting the supplies you used, and the methods you used to decompress and stay motivated!!

[@fluteykat]

If you combine spooky and cute, you get kooky. That is all I have at this time.

[@PoisonedSugarPill]

"someone needs to be doing spooky uterus designs" Me thinking back to an intense and unapologetically gory and glittery uterus drawing I did a few weeks before my hysterectomy (Endomitosis, baby!)

[@karinberonius8799]

That's so cool!

[@emilymulcahy]

This plaster treatment is called bas relief (baz relief) sculpting, and you did it perfectly, your bats are adorable

[@suedeheadd]

Coming from someone who used to do paper mache and plaster casting, my mom and I would always add Elmer's glue to the water so the end plaster was more flexible and crack resistant.

[@JenPolishAholic]

your cats concern made my cats come running, must have been some serious concern he was voicing over there lol

[@ArtFromAurora]

Your videos are so calming to watch! I think you just have such chill energy/vibes :D

[@bearwarren5038]

Y'all I just found her an hour ago..and I have not stopped I love it here ahhhhh

[@SJO1408]

"Neuro divergent girls who need 3 drinks..." hit home hard girl!! 😂😂😂 My desk has AT LEAST 3 drinks at a time ❤ love it

[@Dave_the_giant_bernard]

Our ceilings in the UK commonly have the decor you pictured at the beginning of the video around our ceiling lights and corners of the ceiling called coving. X I found your channel by shorts of worry warts pop up mid anxiety attack , I adore your art. X

[@calinbrown517]

As a fellow Victorian spooky lovin'creative soul and mould maker I understand the nightmare of losing your original casting piece 😭 BuUuUuUt what I do is use the first casting as the second mould form by changing and perfecting the piece, until I'm happy and then I will create the actual mould!!! But as far as plaster goes I use a one to one to one of Durham's water putty, plaster of Paris and fast stone casting powder! But I love using my broken castings in my pieces or use them to create builder moulds, as in moulds I can use to customize and bring elements of the original casting into accent pieces so instead of the piece being 12 in I can get it to what ever size I want outwards!!! Lol Also a great way to get rid of the bubbles is.....🤦......a mini pocket panty rocket with remote control!!!! 🤣😂🤣That way you can vibrate the moulds without dropping it onto the table just place it under the board your moulds are resting on and flip the switch ☺️ because they are a heck of a lot cheaper than anything "professional"and they are sold EVERYWHERE!!! Good lord I'm sorry for the ridiculously LoOoOonG comment but I adore BAT'S, RAVEN'S and SLOTHS💗 but for some reason, I never thought about turning them into glorious victorian architectural element's!!! Most people's brains see them as Halloween decorations, but I have ravens and a bat out year round!!! BuUuUuUt AnYwAyS I love THIS and I am going to start on my own wee bat piece and when I'm done, I'll be tagging the heck out of you, along with your video, giving you 100% of the inspirational credit, lol because THIS creative soul, is going nuts right now, so I'm going to start mapping out the pieces and I can't wait to see how it turns out!!!! EeEeEeEeEeK I'm SoOoOoOoO FRIKKIN excited and YES she'll be named after YOU!!! My page is called "The Gothic Farmhouse" ⚜️ on Facebook and thegothicfarmhouse1 on Instagram annnnnd I haven't posted anything in awhile because my life has been CrAzY🙃 but now I will have the time to create more and I just know😏 that the soon to be newest member 🦇 of my Gothic Farmhouse family, is going to fit right in! XOXOXO from Florida CUTIEPATOOTIE 🤗 I adore everything you made and I sincerely appreciate you sharing your mistakes side by side of your success, because it gives the newbies like me, permission to stumble and learn, knowing what is waiting for us,if we just get up and keep trying because, failure only happens, when YOU give up on YOURSELF and you stay down and THIS woman is done staying down!💃😘😊 🙏4✌️ AlWaYs sweet beautiful girl ❣️

[@MisFitandMayhem]

I am an absolute fan, literally binge watching all day. This moment right here is so so real! And IDK but I'm so proud of you! I can't tell you how many breakdowns I have had! KUDOS! APPLAUSE!!

[@EcumeDeVerre]

those scissors are amazing! I use them for glass when I'm lampworking!

[@evermorris]

“Struggles turn into huggles?!!!” Love you 🥺🥺😍

[@nicolelavigne1700]

Awesome! I agree that the vaguely uterine shape just adds an extra layer to the awesome. Not exactly spooky, but I did design and embroider myself a uterus that my friend has named The Kramper, with evil eye-centred flowers for ovaries, the Fallopian tubes are holding knives, and it looks like it is angrily vomiting menstrual blood. It is an homage to endometriosis and how sucktastic it is. It pleases me greatly.

[@karinberonius8799]

That's awesome!

[@LeeannCarver-ll2ej]

This sounds spectacular.

[@MissChelle]

I love working with pclay too so I can ‘save’ it lol. Wish I could ‘undo’ as well 😅 this guy is amazing. Pretty much how they did it for Victorian art, however they used clay as their medium….❤️🇦🇺

[@MissChelle]

P.s. try putting armature wire in your cast next time 😊

[@UlquiorrasLover04]

8:18 I felt this moment so deep my eyes started watering. Hearing someone else say that really brought some warmth to my heart. In the words of Stitch "...It's little and broken but still good. Yeah, still good."

[@autumnrain1892]

Rub and buff will bring out the details ❤️

[@NancyW96CatLady]

It turned out awesome! You are so talented at sculpting. Also good for you for continuing to try to make plaster work for you and not giving up on the project or your abilities. I find it SO discouraging when my projects don't go "well" and am wayyy too hard on myself, it can really take the joy out of creating. I am slowly getting better at being kinder to myself, also at just being more fair and realistic. It is hard work, but we are worth the effort!

[@liadanducky]

I love them!!!!😍😍🥰🥰🥰 they’re so perfect! It’s so cool that you decided to figure out how to do this yourself. It’s hard when it’s something that seems to have died out so major kudos to you for persevering and figuring it out!! Well done!!

[@gypsi812]

This is the project that made me fall in love with your work.🥰 Do you sell casts of this? I adore your commitment to learning from your mistakes and trying to remain positive.

[@cimibart4016]

NOOOO I MIGHT CRY BECAUSE YOU ARE CRYING 6:33

[@ASMRyouKidding]

Yes this had the same effect on me 🥺

[@supercat2777]

RIP for the first bat, it was so sad to watch 😭😭

[@jylnbn1234]

I loved watching that bat process!! They came out sooo good and perfect decor for spooky kitchen! 🖤

[@Pryanksters]

I LOVE your bat! Your creativity and quality of work is wonderful. We all have learning moments in the process & I love that you share that. It helps us all feel more confident. And your creativity is inspiring. Thank you for sharing.

I saw the short had a cackle at "uterus bat" and had to come watch

Yay a new video 🥹💕🥹💕🥹 so glad to see you posting again!

[@caryscuttlefish]

Sorry it’s been a bit! My husband is waiting to get surgery on his gallbladder so I’ve been focused on caring for him but it means so much that someone notices when I make new stuff!!❤❤❤

[@alianacruz7798]

Heck yeah! It looks wonderful with the chandelier! I love the determination to get it right 🦇

[@kylawheeler4417]

This turned out amazing!!!!! I think I'm going to try this out myself. I have a dinning Room that needs something a little extra!. Amazing Job

[@michellekaraocorn]

I believe that like today's plaster artists, they probably carved wet / semi wet plaster. Then detailing / cleaning up the piece after it's completely dry... Sandpaper(s) chisels knives???? At least that's what I tend to see on YT and YT shorts lol

[@CottagecoreLea]

Your art is so beautiful and cool.(love the studio Ghibli skirt by the way)❤❤❤❤❤

[@samspawbeans]

the way she was so upset made me almost cry I feel so bad :(

[@MikadoDragomir]

Would love to see more renovation videos cause I love your style

[@renshi101]

That is so much detail and is so cute 🥺🥺

[@LillyReneeStudio]

So glad I found your account !! ☺️ I love your art & I have been having fun experimenting with polymer clay & I’d love to try making a silicone mold !!

[@monicalouise79]

I cannot wait to own my own home and be able to do all those fun and beautiful things to my home😏 it looks amazing! I'm so happy for you& sorry about your little struggle but it looks amazing!!!!✌🏻🤟🏻🤙🏻🪄

[@blueheartless36]

Laughed out loud at 2am, thank you! X'D People should make more spooky cute uterus designs, lol

[@rebeccadarling7176]

I had a thought when watching the part of painting the plasters. It might be easier to pour the paint into a pan and dip them in one side. Once dried, dip the other. Use a detailed brush to clean up where you were holding it and and spots that need attention or were missed. That way you can do several in quick succession.

[@queenfan826]

I love the buffy references made through the vid

[@chaseyoung331]

Can everybody just clap for her that she messed up but she kept trying. 👏👏👏👏

[@cynical.cyanide_real]

7:35 it's OK. I'm also going through a crisis right now. I have a Minecraft fox Lego set and it fell off my desk It's shattered 😭😭😭😭

[@Ironghost1091]

Thank you for your videos! You make me feel so happy! ❤

[@Cruznick06]

Really happy to see you using gloves while working with polymer clay. This is a great video and has inspired me to start designing the celestial themed details I've always wanted in my bedroom. Edit: Also I always assume my Master will die when I cast it for molding. It sucks but I just dont keep my hopes up it will survive.

[@emilymulcahy]

Gloves aren't needed as the poly clay is non toxic but getting it off your hands is a pain unless you keep pumice soap on hand

[@Helpful_Art_Tips]

​​@@emilymulcahyi lost my pumice soap lol originally i wrote soup instead of soap

[@emilymulcahy]

@@Helpful_Art_Tips I find a green kitchen scrubbies works in a pinch, also start with oil, break down the clay, then soap, it helps

[@WeAreSpeakingUp]

Yes. Definitely need to add more Victorian details around your house. Bigger pieces but u can do them in small pieces first the chalk the line

[@terilew1]

I love your work! and those bats are just perfect. I was worried for a bit that you'd paint them rainbow colors, lol. That would have worked out well for you art studio but they are perfect where you put them. Not that you need my approval, lol.

[@aimskidoodles2]

Not my crying when the bat broke. 😢😢😢 It's so cute!

[@CandiedHurtsickle]

Came from the short. Didn't expect this emotional rollercoaster ride. Still amazing!

I know how to do sculpted plaster work my Dad did historical restoration painting and plaster work more so than the fine stuff then just slapping plaster on walls. I learned how to sculpt plaster It's not that far off from what you did really.

I feel like those would look really cool with some glow in the dark paint.

Plaster molds were used for making decorative pieces for buildings. There is lots of information about plaster online and in the library. I used to work in a museum. I got to restore old Victorian plaster molds for decor. They have the artist signature on each mold and a number for recording them. They also sculpted parts by hand. Some artists used plaster blocks molded from the plaster and used chisel and hammer to sculpt large sculptures like you see in France.

[@misskothy9116]

Gorgeous love this❤️

[@user-g4i6l]

Is this being sold on your store? I checked and couldn't find it

[@zp5016]

Depending on how heavy the bat are, Command sells picture hanging command strips that are velcro on both sides so you could easily remove it?

[@She_dosent_know]

thank you so much and really apreciate you showing your amazin content with us and you encourage me everytime i watch one of your vidios and it encourages me to use my own diagnosed nuerodivergency to my advantage ant attemt to limit my on unkind self speech xx

Recreating lost and forgotten plaster in a New York mansion- from the mind of Christine McConnell. That's a video of someone doing. I'm pretty sure the same thing but if not it's very close if that helps

[@trishcraft]

Love them!

[@LolaClark86]

Halfway thru n dont know if you figured out that you add the plaster to water not water to plaster. You slow add your plaster little at a time to water with out stirring till all plaster has been absorbed. . No stirring Cuz stirring activates the setting process.

[@roxannadrake7186]

IF you use screws without "modeled screw holes" will that crack the plaster? Is this something you could clear up with the "broken" pieces from this project? Looooovvve the video, cats, you... Subscribed!!!!

I have a question because you put that blue stuff on it. Like that, but do you still keep the inside of it? Or you're just like the river decorating without just wondering. Be that old it's funny because I look like it took a long time to build, so do you keep it or do you not? That's the word question for my answer. I was just asking because I was thinking right now. Do you keep? That or do you knock?😮😅❤
