Ep.26 This series is OVER. I found what I was looking for!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Hello! I’m not ending the mystery moulds! Just a dramatic title to express my love for finally finding my dream moulds 😂 There’s a sneak peak for the next video at the end of this one as proof 😅

[@alspaughstaci]

Thank goodness

[@alspaughstaci]

I'm collecting tea. Pots lol I see you are too lol

[@alspaughstaci]

Im thrifting

[@BiggestBigBoy]

I like the idea that you'd just put the mould on your mantle, and never make pottery again, just contented with finding one mould.

[@vonkurtz8437]

When is the next video coming 😢 Miss them

[@ahrianpruitt9632]

My toddler saw me watching your videos while I was cross stitching. She cuddled up and watched several episodes. This morning she came to me and asked to watch the "Pottery Lady". Thank you for making content that can be shared with my whole family. Each of my girls are creative in their own way, one in art, one in sewing, and another in building. I look forward to seeing what the youngest will be creative in. Maybe it will be pottery :)

[@clairefuzipeg1983]

I may introduce my toddler to the channel 👀

[@foxtailfcs]

You can reduce a lot of the dribble with careful trimming of the spout. A thinner, sharp edge at the very tip of the lid helps "cut" the water flow so a bead doesn't form and then drip.

[@ImzadiD]

YES! Exactly what I was coming to say. Shelby, watch some wheel throwing potters on KZbin make some spouts and how they talk about how the edge of the tip of the spout has to have a sharp cut. Right now, there is a millimeter of thickness at the front edge. This causes the water to stick and dribble.

[@SuesOriginals]

I was thinking the same thing. I’m a thrower and teapots are a favorite of mine. When I saw the spout I thought “it needs to be thinner and sharper at the pouring end. I’ve also added a little ‘tongue’ just below the spout end which catches the drip and sends it into the cup instead of down the spout.

[@Chihiro33333]

Oh good, you all wrote was I was going to write! 😄👍

[@StormTalara]

Yes. I was thinking a light pinch, thinner and slightly raised tip.

[@MildredCady]

Yes, you should absolutely make a full tea set. Although I would check with your assistants to see if they found any matching teacups and saucers.

[@staceyportillo9222]

Please don't stop the mystery molds! They are my favorite! I love seeing what sort of creative spins you put on the pottery.

[@NJ-Cathie]

We need to find the lid for the canister books!!!

[@lisathomas1622]

Don’t worry, she said she was kidding. She has so many molds she doesn’t know what’s in them yet!

[@kimberlyhendricks1229]

I love this teapot! Yes, I would love to see a tea set made with this. It would be pretty painted in the colors of river pebbles too. They are all different colors.

[@heatherbennett4074]

A little acorn as the lids handle would be even cuter.

[@kathyfeltman5601]

Yes!! Or a little frog. Or, since there is a kitty on the pot, a curled up sleeping kitty for the knob would be cute. So many different options!!

[@SatumainenOlento]

Yes! I did love the mushroom too. It was very good size for the teapot. But acorn...oooh...perfect!

[@BrightestBlessings7899]

And I think it will not be less delicate!

[@ayastorm5507]

Or a bunch of different sized mushrooms. Or a combo of stuff ❤❤❤ so many good ideas (acorn with a tiny frog on top 😮)

[@kaidanariko]

Or a leaf!

[@janemurdock6988]

I'm so glad you found a dream mould!!!! That will be a BLAST to paint. So much work!! Go crazy! Enjoy!

[@kasie680]

The worm from the labyrinth, scary??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s the friendliest thing ever created 😂😂😂😂

[@HAppytobeHer]

I would love a tan/toupe stone and pastel flower version!! And yes of course to the matching set ❤❤❤

[@hopee.wankenobi1085]

I would love to see one of these teapots for every season choosing a color palette that would suit the seasons. The picture in my mind is adorable! My little one and I watch your channel together and we just adore it. ❤

[@pdiane8299]

I've been following you for a few years now. This teapot is the epitome of cuteness!

[@YTistooannoying]

Going through a rough, rough, time, Shelby. Thank you for bringing some sunshine to my day for 15:20 minutes.

[@pants6416]

I hope things improve for you soon. 💐

[@LadySugarcube]

Wishing you that you'll get better soon ❤

[@marycampbell7019]

ET scared me to tears. My older sister loved it and would hide her ET doll in my bed. It's still a family joke and she gives me ET gifts periodically.

[@anagoyette8040]

Came to say ET scared me so much as a child. I still can watch it.

[@elizabethlewis3327]

ET is my trauma movie, too. 😢

[@KuraiHasu]

ET was terrifying. And my parents always made me go on the ride in Universal Studios. Cried each time

[@ThePuglover98]

I absolutely feel this 🫣 especially the scene of him looking like a dead boiled chicken in the ravine like ??? This is a children's movie????

[@aimeekessell5022]

My childhood trauma film was Wizard of Oz. Those winged monkey absolutely terrified me.

[@ragnkja]

The height of the spout mostly means that you can fill the teapot completely (you can’t fill a teapot or watering can higher than the level of the spout because the liquid inside will just flow out). How it pours is more about the shape of the “rim” of the spout than the level.

[@TI3RU]

The dark crystal always scared the heck out of me when I was a kid, and would probably still scare me now 😂 the main characters were too uncanny for me, and when the bird guy melted it haunted my nightmares haha

[@faeriesmak]

The Dark Crystal scared me as well but not as much as Something Wicked this way Comes.

[@kitterzy]

I just wrote a comment about my mother thinking it was a great idea to show my kids at age 3 & 4 that movie. It pretty much traumatized them and as adults my one daughter is still freaked out by puppets, marionettes, and animatronics.

[@AngelavengerL]

i loved the t.v. show as an adult but yes the movie as a kid scared the dickens out of me lol

[@scotti16ape]

Dark Crystal was the first movie I thought of, too. Nightmare Before Christmas was a close second, though.

[@thisfoolserrand]

Same. The skecksies bird things are my nightmare fuel. ❤

[@MultiJordan2005]

The pot spout dribbles because of the shape of the edge of it. It needs to have a pointed spot where the liquid pours over. The edge cannot be that wide either. Picture more of a v shape rather than a U shape.

[@micah06v8]

I love this series. The expression on your face was priceless! For me the trauma was from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH! I read the books and watched the animated film as a kid and I have had a fear of rats ever since!

[@barbaraglore2916]

I love everything about this teapot! Yes, please make a set. I think that would be sweet!

[@ilonalech]

Yes, please, make the tea set with this teapot. 🥺 I'd love to see it and it can go so many different ways. As for childhood nightmares, for me it's the Moomins. When I was little it was a good night cartoon. I was so scared I'd rather skip it than watch it.

[@vickydibba4771]

Love the change of handle, the mushroom looks like a chimney!

[@meganb1125]

NEED to see a whole little tea set to go with this piece!! So do cute!!!

[@Tammy-go3qy]

Yes please make a cute tea set to go with the tea pot. Love how you added a mushroom to the lid. Maybe a future one you could add tiny cute mushrooms among the grass around the cottage. 🍄 ❤️

[@carolscherich1842]

Good choice on the mushroom 🍄!! I love it. I would absolutely make a tea set to match!!! Bravo!!!!

[@loganavenue1]

I need that teapot! ❤

[@sandraseif9946]

In the 1970s in the United States there were a lot of ceramic shops where people could go every week and paint in the next week and to it like if we were having a piece fired to stain instead of glaze it and it was so much fun and I did I made so many wonderful things and then kind of died off and I wish it was around I miss it. You bring back fond memories. I love watching your videos.

[@nettinebyatt-brown4096]

I love it with the new lie handle, it looks like a chimney. So cute well done. ❤❤❤

[@leelee1286]

Omg, The Labyrinth. Will NEVER watch again. Gave me nightmares as a kid lol So glad you found your dream mold! Wheeee! 🎉

[@wqmanawqke3375]

Time for flower tea cups with leaf saucers!!! Or gourd looking tea cups.

[@dstarchild2549]

With the way you painted the roof, it looks like it was made out of pine cones! Love it!

[@AngelavengerL]

i thought this too! It's so cute!

[@ashham2784]

When I was a baby my parents took me to Jurassic Park, when the T-Rex yelled I LOST IT!!! Soon after they took me to the museum and taught me about dinosaurs and fell in love with them~! Love from Oregon!!!

[@1bahrsarah]

I hid under the theater seat most of that movie when I was little. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for years after that. As an adult I love those movies and have not had a dinosaur nightmare in a long time.

[@crimsonshadowjj7935]

I was two years old when that movie came out and my family had rented it out to watch it. I had been put down in my bed. I did not stay there. When the t rex ate the lawyer , they realized I was there because I burst out laughing. 😂 Still actually adore the movies. Edit spelling mistakes

[@penniecormier8770]

The mushroom handle was genius. The teapot wouldn’t dribble if you had shaved the spout tip so it is thinner and sharp edged to ‘cut’ the stream of liquid as you tip back. The Hobbit is nice to read or listen to as an audio book. No jump scare that way.

[@aaronarchie7799]

I love that you added your pastels and that you added extra leaves and the watercolor effect! Great job!

[@99megrob]

This is the absolute cutest piece you've done. I love it.

[@PerrinPottery]

My grandmother was a slipcaster but I fell in love with throwing and hand building. Watching you makes me feel closer to her somehow. Also, love your editing, need to up my editing skills for my channel.

[@joanspragg9395]

I love Tea pots. This is small enough to be a pot for one if you couple it with one of your Tea mugs ❤

[@damealeta3541]

Hey, Shelby! Fun video and I love the tea pot! My late sister gifted me a one person tea pot/cup for Christmas a few years back. She said it reminded her of something a Hobbit would have. She was the one who turned me onto the books and I've read the LORT and Hobbit nearly every year since So roughly 56 time!! I love your videos and wish I lived closer so I could make something at your shop. But we're on the other side of the world from each other. 😘💚

[@sherry-lynnzwaan1432]

I have read them for 46 years! Got mine for a graduation gift. Can't finish a year without them!

[@ChantelleArts]

there's so much detail, that's crazy!! 🥰

[@maryenthuses3088]

I got a huge fright going through a car wash as a toddler. I still remember it vividly and have never gone through one since. So not a film or book but definitely long-lasting!

[@jpendowski7503]

Great results, I would call it weathered rather than grungy. Glad you found more treasure in the moulds.

[@jenniferspinney3306]

The teapot is so adorable 😍😍😍😍 but the roof reminds me of ginko leaves! And in the fall, they turn a vibrant yellow! All the ❤ from Pittsburgh, PA USA!!!

[@angiedewolf6512]

I absolutely loved the blue on this piece, a whole tea set would be adorable!💕

[@julzgulz1992]

My uncle thought that my cousin might enjoy watching this cheesy old shark movie, Jaws! She was only 5! It scared her so badly that she couldn’t get in a pool or the ocean for decades, or finish the movie… or watch scary movies. 😂😢 He was so bummed too because he was an avid diver and boater. Sadly he passed away when she was 19. And after she graduated from college she went to get dive certified and now swims in the ocean, in his honor. ❤ She overcame her fear, and so can you!

[@abbyburns3127]

Pan's Labyrinth! I was like...16? and still got nightmares from the pale man! 😂

[@KiwiCoffeeKing]

That’s fantastic - replacing the handle on the lid was a brilliant idea, the mushroom looks so good. A whole set would is a great idea, just about any of your cottage type cups would work in the same colour scheme.

[@mickiea369]

I've said this before, but your mystery molds helped me through the worst mental health crisis of my life. I hope you never stop surprising us with your work. ❤❤❤❤

[@carolalsentzer8357]

I love your energy and excitement of seeing each of the molds. You are so fun to watch.

[@fraupoppy]

I was so excited when you said the words woody and earthy because that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the tea pot. Now I really hope you might find cups that Match the estatic of the pot. Also in childhood trauma: As a German kid growing up I have a shared trauma thing with people in my peer group. It was around easter over 30 years ago when they aired that specific animation of watership down for the first time in German TV. It feels like every parent/grandparent at the time saw the planned program, thought 'oh, animation, rabbits, nice, let's let the Kids watch unsupervised' and that's how a whole generation developed a fear of black rabbits.😅

[@candcpiper2863]

Watership Down

[@AngelavengerL]

omg yes, that book and movie are both traumatizing. I'll never watch/read them again.

[@sandrafuch9400]

Love this so much. I think making the tree into a wisteria would be cool. Like an old english cottage.

[@CMelon-xe1qc]

I love wisteria so much it’s probably my favourite flower

[@legacyoftheancientsC64c]

80's fantasy movies where on another level, seriously. Heck I even got traumatized as a little kid by... E.T.!

[@niagara6015]

E.T. traumatised me too, I had nightmares for years and I only saw the movie once as a toddler.

[@AudreyII-]

80s movies were absolutely wild. The Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, ET, The Neverending Story etc. I think the feel of those was also part of the inspo for Stranger Things.

[@legacyoftheancientsC64c]

@@niagara6015 That scene in the back of the house at night where Elliott shines his flashlight onto E.T.'s face and it lets out an otherworldly scream. Ugh...[shudder]

[@A.Girl.Has.No.Name.]

I haven't seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series because I was almost kidnapped by pirates at age 3. We have a July 4th parade on Main Street every year in my hometown (which is a suburb of Seattle) My dad was an employee of a paint company that was also on Main St, so he drove a company van in the parade, with my sister and I dressed in paint coveralls and company hats. The parade also had the Seafair Pirates from the annual Seafair Days Festival in Seattle, on their pirate ship, with their guns blasting SO LOUD, and the pirates running into the crowd to "scare" the kids and throw candy. Well, one of these pirates pretended to kidnap 3 years old me from the paint van, and it scared me to pieces! Luckily, we also lived further up Main St, so my mom was able to walk us home the 10 blocks or so to our house. Most years after that (until we were older, that is) we just watched the parade from our front yard, as all those in the parade lined up prior to and in front of our house before the parade began... minus the Seafair Pirates, that is, since their massive ship met the parade further along the route. Most of the floats and those in the parade would throw candy to us in our yard, and we didn't even have to run into the street and fight a bunch of other kids for it! 🍬🍭 One of the perks of cheering for those in the parade before it even began. Plus, my parents didn't have to walk 2 small children 10 blocks while fighting other attendees and the chairs and other items of those that had "claimed" their spot the day prior. It was a massive parade for such a small town, and attendees came from many surrounding towns/cities, so roped off groups of chairs, along with poorly parked flatbeds began to appear in the parking lots along the route on July 2 each year. So anyway, i haven't watched the series, which I joke to my family is because the pirates almost got me years ago!

[@amandafellows7508]

I love that you mentioned Labyrinth! That's one of my favorite movies from my childhood! 💚

[@praeliora]

That is a lovely mould, i think i would have done a golden yellow roof though

[@counter10r]

I love the customization with the mushroom handle--would be nice to add a few smaller mushrooms around the base. With the talk about The Hobbit, I was thinking it would be very cool to retrofit a round hobbit-hole door (but that's a BIG change!)

[@tiggerlady6282]

Oh my goodness!! It’s so beautiful tea pot. Your artwork is amazing on it! Good job! 👏🏻 😊

[@SharonRaeRyan]

I love the mushroom handle. So much sturdier and easier to use without sacrificing asthetic.

[@romonaelrod7870]

It is so cute❤

[@empireofpeaches]

The lid looks like straw thatching. I would love to see a yellow/brown roof!

[@sherry-lynnzwaan1432]

My daughters watched Hitchcock's 'The Birds" while at my parents house, my mother loved that movie. They (35 and 37 years later) absolutely freak if a bird gets near them. There are occasionally magpies in their garage and it's utter mayhem. I have not seen "The game of Thrones", I read the books each the year as it came out and it could not equal my imagination!

[@Pinkybub]

I absolutely love the teapot !! omgosh im so happy for you 😁

[@denasewell]

The Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch releases The Flying Goblin Monkey beasts scared the shit out of me when I was little...The Wizard Of Oz was shown on TV on Thanksgiving and I would go an hide and cry every year til I was 10 years old.🤣 Also the scary Child Catcher!

[@catherinemahone8841]

The teapot is as adorable as you are! So fun watching these mysteries unfold!

[@LothlorienOH]

Shelob is terrifying! Many parts of The Hobbit are scary and when my parents took me to see the cartoon version in the theater, the fire scene scared me so much we had to leave. Shelby, I’m surprised you haven’t seen any LOTR films when it fits your aesthetic so well; have you read any of the books?

[@rene443hgtj]

I would buy the teapot in a heartbeat ❤ lol its gorgeous. Brought back memories of me and my grandma having afternoon tea as a child. We both traveled to many countries and this was one of the traditions we picked up and loved to do together. She would make us tea biscuits and scones to have as well. I have two other teapots now a patient gave me years ago and that one would be a beautiful addition. I have a butterfly and a bird for handles on my two. Tea cups shaped like flowers go with the butterfly and two traditional porcelain to go with bird 😊ty for invoking my lovely memories

[@alexchu6318]

I love your mystery mold series!! I appreciate you take the time to finish the pieces and share your art ❤

[@nikkiewhite476]

I am missing your content a lot. You are a bright ray of sunshine that brightens my day when you post. I hope you will find time to make full videos again soon.

[@paranoiarpincess]

Absolutely you should make a set to go with! If I had a chance to paint that teapot, I'd have made it a very earthy fairy cottage. I likely would have added too many mushrooms and rendered the poor thing useless though. If you saw my art, you'd know what I mean about liking to overdo things lol. (I have two of my pieces from my current _Wondrous Women With Their Treasured Things_ in my yt shorts if you're interested) Anyway, I'd probably make flower cups to go with the cottage if I were the one painting it, but something with birds may suit yours more. Regardless, you did such beautiful work on this.

[@RoseAnneLivao]

I love how you always bring such creativity and excitement to every mold reveal! ❤Thank you for inspiring me with your content, Shelby! 🙂

[@mermaidopulence8539]

Omg how stinking cute is that tea pot. Also yes you absolutely should do a full set of them.

[@Kiwibloom]

Oh my word! What a stunning job you did on the teapot!! And I love that, not only did you step outside of your norm to make it a bit grungy ( which is GORGEOUSLY DONE, btw), but you also added your own pastel style to the window! I love that! And the grunge really makes your pastel window just pop beautifully! What a beautiful job you did! I would LOVE to see you make a whole set like this! It’s absolutely stunning!

[@EmorettaRobinson]

What a beautiful tea pot! I love all of the details and images on it. You did a great job on painting it and replacing the top handle with the little mushroom.

[@Wender-ella]

so cute, I love the details on it. Love the window with the cat!

[@cherylhuot4436]

So, so cute! The colors are not "grungy" at all! The blue stones worked better than I thought it would! For me, would have tried to paint each stone a different color grey then put a dark grey wash over all. Changing out the little handle on the lid was smart. I think an acorn would be cute if you had a mold the Igor size. I understand your excitement when you opened it!

[@AngelavengerL]

Lord of the Rings and Princess Bride are my fav live action movies! It really is worth watching the first 20 minutes of the Fellowship just so you can enjoy the absolute adorable rustic charm of the hobbits lives. I think it's shown much nicer there than in the Hobbit. No large spider in the fellowship as well. I did have parts of Labyrinth and Neverending story that terrified me as a kid, but I've watched them multiple times and Labyrinth was and is still a favorite. Just the guys tossing their heads scared me as a kid lol. This teapot is so cute! I absolutely love how charming this and the fairy house are.

[@lauren8627]

I was sceptical about the mushroom. I stand corrected. This is MY FAVOURITE TEAPOT EVER!!!❤ Also I'm pretty sure we saw the same Hobbit play 😂. The puppets were wild!! I think it did the rounds of all of Australia.

[@heratyc11]

I honestly thought that cutting off the top branch would look off, but that mushroom was absolutely perfect!

[@karenbarton1717]

I love the tea pot! I so wished I lived closer or was richer so could travel down to the pottery! ❤❤❤

[@elaniarkady7351]

I love the darker colors with the orange max! Its perfect for fall!

[@mssfearon2838]

I totally get it! I’m a huge horror fan but I can’t watch The Witches (1990) because my cousin made me watch it at 8… any other horror is totally fine, but I have never been able to watch that one or the remake.

[@emmshelley]

David Bowie in Labarinth scared the living heck out of me as a kid 😂😂

[@takemeandrun]

I love this teapot!!! So cute!! I definitely want to see you make a whole set to match it!!

[@suzib33]

The colours you picked for that are amazing. Really love the teapot and the spice books ❤

[@just-a-crayon4]

Yes to a full to a full set. You are amazing ❤

[@TearsOfRain08]

Oh my gosh! I love it so much! I would love to see a whole tea set!!

[@Ardella]

OMG I'm an Aussie and was also taken to see the Hobbit puppet show as a kid! I only have great memories of it though, so I think I'll avoid looking up videos to keep my childhood recollections intact :P My family still pronounce the dragon's name in a super high-pitched voice the way I remember them doing in the show. Your colour choices for this tea pot are so unique and beautiful. Really well done! If you do end up doing a hobbit hole inspired version I'd be on it immediately. I promise the first Lord of the Rings movie has no spiders if you were curious enough to face your childhood trauma a little.

[@emilyflavell1658]

I didn't watch The Prince of Egypt until I was 26- that might not seem like a big deal but as a Christian kid, there weren't a lot of movies to show us during Sunday school holidays, and the Prince of Egypt was a major part of ALL my friends childhoods. I just couldn't get past the start, it's full on!

[@abbasturd]

10:07 I have a phobia of flowers. A fantasy tv show in the Philippines aired when I was 5-6 years old. The bad guys dropped/purposefully fed a flower a potion. The flower grew and started terrorizing people. The makahiya, or shy, plant intensified my fears, as well as my cousin chasing me around with flowers.

[@maggiegregory8399]

A while back you cast some tulip tea cups when you did a whole large mug video try those with this pot!

[@SigneofHorses]

Love the grungy look! I live in a small black house and know how I would paint this up.. birch trees and bright green leaves, loads of grass and shrooms and perhaps a raven on the roof, just like my house has. Congrats on the find. But do not stop the mystery molds!!!!

[@auroradreycon8040]

I found a cottage teapot at the thriftstore once and that baby went home with me so fast! It's not as whimsical as this one though.... it's so cute!

[@sabrina.h2737]

The creatures that pulled off their heads in the Labrinth freaked me out.

[@AngelavengerL]

Same, especially when they are threatening to take hers too. Luckily i liked so many other parts of the movie, I'd watch it and just cover my eyes with a pillow during that part lol.

[@kerriemills1310]

Absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you 🙏🤩 Shelby.

[@Elizabeth-iv2pr]

That is the most amazing teapot!

[@Candy1469]

I vividly remember visiting my aunt's house with my mom when I was a little kid and we watch the movie Labyrinth and it terrified me. Now as an adult I love it❤

[@NunyaBidnezzzz]

Amazing teapot and beautiful calming vibes as always. Thank you so much for your content, it's so pure and wonderful. As for childhood nightmare fuel: The Raggedy Ann and Andy movie (the one from the 70s). IYKYK. It's on KZbin, for the brave.

[@FlorenceFrazier2002]

Oh my goodness! I've been painting mugs with plates every time my daughter and I go to the pottery place in a city near us. Now I want a tea pot to match! So far I have daisies on a teal background and a 3 colour purple hydrangea on white. I also want to do cherry tree branches in bloom and wisteria. I am sure I will think of more. You most definitely need to do a tea set! I hope you have other things to go with the tea pot! Thanks for sharing, I love seeing your face when you open the moulds and see what you have, and watching how you paint them.

[@sanditschoepe2622]

I collect teapots and that one would fit perfectly in my collection, wonderful find!

[@katherine8733]

I would love a full little tea set this is super cute 🥰

[@GamingFoodie]

My brother was terrified of the Never Ending Story. It was the giant turtle that made him scream and run. For me it was Beetlejuice. Still frightens me to this day and I'm old! XD

[@tarasensei]

I am always amazed at how the colours just pop once the pieces have been fired. The teapot is adorable. Love the mushroom handle. Love the blues of the cobble stones and the orange cat. I would love to see a tea set to match the pot. Wouldn't it be cute to have the orange cat show up on the sugar bowl or the creamer. Would the cups have saucers?
