Ep.4 Using only BLACK and GOLD + unveiling more moulds from this collection

This is the series where I reveal and make whatever is inside these mystery pottery moulds.
Here is the link to the origin story of where these moulds came from:
• I bought a random lot ...

[@StacieKeller-kv2sq]

Beautiful. But I think that small pot is a creamer to go with the sugar bowl and usually doesn’t have a lid.

[@AuskaDezjArdamaath]

That exactly what I thought too. They’re adorable 🍄

[@loliluxe]

Came here to say the same thing! And I’d love to see them painted with fairy pastel 🩷💜💛🩵 colors on a pale yellow background with a gold handle! 😮

[@shalaz1981]

If it’s Arnel’s #761 it is referred to as a creamer by other people with the mold. The sugar bowl is mold #762, if that helps id them at all.

[@denisesteil1890]

My thoughts too. It's a creamer. No lid.

[@evekankam6744]

What a beautiful collection

[@nyxsiern]

Does anyone else think the artist who made these mushroom mold set was Shelby in a past life?? 😊 I love how much she loves them!!

[@disnerdcollectibles1441]

Does anyone else get the urge to start making pottery lol😅 it’s just so beautiful!

[@psychedelikchameleon]

Do it! It's so rewarding 💖

[@karlahuyett2028]

Yes! Suddenly I need a new hobby as if I don't have enough 😂

[@jennyellis2062]

Yep me I've always wanted to do it just never got round to doing it

[@urgunmyhead12]

Always! This channel is so therapeutic I found it by chance and been here ever since.

[@NagemYelmul]

As stated by others, the "single serve coffee pot" is a creamer and YES there is a soup ladel! This collection is HUGE from what I can tell looking at various pictures. It would be amazing to see an entire collection painted by you. Perhaps that could be the finale of this season?

[@karenv525]

Shelby was obviously meant to have these mystery moulds to do justice to them. Her character fits them perfectly, and they are such a wonderful whimsical collection.

[@marshabraswell5681]

Oh my gracious! I got married in 1976, and I made my set of everyday dishes. I had a 12-piece place setting of these Merry Mushrooms. I had the entire set of accessories too. I bought the green ware and painted everything while I made wedding plans. I later gave the whole set away to a thrift store because mushrooms in 70’s colors weren’t in style anymore. How dumb was that! Oh the memories your series is bringing back!!! And yes, there is a ladle for the soup toureen - keep looking.

[@DR-rw7es]

Ahh yes, the all too familiar pain of thrifting items that truly sparked joy... You're not alone! 😅

[@QuivaRPG]

I wonder if that tall "teapot" was actually a coffee pot? I know in a traditional silver hot beverage service set, there are always two pots with spouts and the taller one is for coffee. Also, once you get ALL the mushroom pieces organized, I think you should do one full set in YOUR favorite colorway. And then do all the ones everyone else likes, lol.

[@DawnDavidson]

Agreed. That tall, slender shape is usually a coffee pot. :) What FUN, Shelby! I can hardly wait for you to show us what you do with all of these!

[@ambrr_lily]

Do you think pottery like this could take the heat of hot coffee? I would love that! But I had a bad experience with a crazed glass coffee pot (exactly as you imagine!). It worked well for ages, then one day, BOOM! I've never poured hot coffee into a "pretty pot" again.

[@Lyn4817]

​@@ambrr_lily Maybe you need to warm the pot up first before pouring boiling water into it. Much like they suggest warming thermos type containers before putting the end drink into it.

[@nancyspradling1131]

The mushroom series is absolutely my favorite!

[@debbiedrawsfunny]

Don’t go crazy looking for the lid!😅There’s no lid for the “single serve coffee pot” because I think it’s actually a creamer! Like sugar bowl and creamer set! And usually those don’t have lids on them. Love the gold accents on those goth mushrooms, so incredibly gorgeous! This was so FUN! Love all the reveals😍🤩

[@sydnicasanover]

Someone in a comment above said it is for creamer but that it does have a lid to go with it. They found pictures of the set online.

[@lananeufeld9779]

I'd absolutely love to see a full set of the black and gold they are absolutely stunning

[@lynnettebelle3019]

Yes! The black and gold turned out so gorgeous, I'd love to see the whole set painted like that!

[@mcardnas2984]

This ^

[@apryljohnson553]

I agree. I love the black and gold.

[@anastasiyat5913]

OMG! I can't wait to see the WHOLE collection painted and glazed!

[@giatomcat8790]

When you see a dog running full out across a lawn, that is pure dog joy. That is the same feeling Shelby gives out when she opens the mushroom molds, pure joy. it was like watching all the holidays roll out in 21 minutes.

[@maggienygaard8734]

The smile you had when the coffee/tea carafe lid fit is everything. You deserve to be this happy for what you do. You’re bringing us joy for your joy.

[@LeoFieTv]

14:36 That is a coffee pot, not a tea pot. Coffee pots are tall and skinny, tea pots are round. Supposedly it helps with the flavour while brewing.

[@LadyBama]

My Mother had the mushroom canisters (flour, sugar, coffee, tea)colored yellow, brown, and dark green in the late 70’s or early 80’s.

[@allisonleeferreira6968]

Sears and roebuck 😂 My grandmother had the same set.

[@emilyflavell1658]

That sounds like such a fun kitchen vibe

[@crowdedcar]

She might have gotten them from the Sears&Roebuck catalogue!! The canisters were featured in the 1978 edition 😁

[@memesissydollar3080]

Love these bowls too . Oh goodness so pretty 6:31

[@fashionattackertb]

It makes me so happy to see how happy she is opening the mushroom dishes

[@debbiehenricksen1897]

No matter what colours you choose, you MUST give us a video with a finished set of each colour combination. ❤❤

[@Varulfen95]

I think the black set is my favourite so far! The only thing that could top it would be a purple/green/black/silver colorpalette. Now that I think about it.. is there a silver luster? I love the gold, but I'd love to see other metallics!

[@Varulfen95]

Also holy shit, I love the whole mushroom collection! It's so whimsical and cute! I would love to see the whole collection painted and on a table together. On the topic of color palettes for the mushrooms, I still have some ideas: halloween(orange, green, purple), psychedelic, pastell, alice in wonderland (black, white, red, light blue and gold?).

[@tiffanysandmeier4753]

I do think silver would look even better than the gold with the black

[@amara560]

Yes silver dots would fit perfectly!

[@Opalsfire1]

I would love a set like that with the black, dark green, and silver!

[@someonedifferent198]

Very cool, love the black set!!! Since you love color I would also love to see a full on psychedelic set, it being muchrooms and all 😜 So happy for you that you got more off the set, they are all lovely!! Ooh and you deserve to have all the fun!!

[@SatumainenOlento]

Yes! I can see it! It does not need to be neon (probably not existing colours in the pottery), but maybe some glace could give some shimmering etc. It would be cool! 😅 But probably goes far from shelby's normal style where everything is so deligatedly (beautifully) painted!

[@SaintShion]

Like neon black light colors or make it look like a neon light with neon paint and white lines inside of the neon.

[@lunarsma8446]

!!!

[@dustyjo1010]

The black and gold aesthetic is my absolute fave. Thank you for stepping out of your comfort zone, they turned out amazing!

[@samanthaquant7411]

I don’t have the same appreciation for mushrooms that you do, but I will say that I just love watching them make you so happy 😊

[@hannahxx17]

Honestly I can't say mushrooms ever took my fancy until I started watching your content and seeing this beautiful collection. I know mushrooms have been a trend for a little and are getting more and more popular but something about this collection and your art has really stolen my heart. Something about it feels so comforting yet really magical and full of possibilities. Maybe its the fairy obsessed 90s kid in me but I just love the feeling this gives me.

[@sheepsrubberpants]

Absolutely love the black and gold. A Halloween set would be good too. Xx

[@melissafisher1448]

Yesss!!! 😍

[@user-mp4fc3fb2i]

Hello Shelby. I am a third generation ceramacist from the USA. This mushroom collection was done in the 70,s and 80,s. I poured molds for 30 years. It still makes me happy to see another generation become excited by doing this pottery. I wish you much success with all of this. I still enjoy going to ceramic places and buying from other potters to paint and fire for me. I no longer have the strength to pour the molds, but i very much enjoy watching you do this. Thank you

[@lisasloane6456]

The “teapot “ looks like the traditional size and shape for a chocolate or possible coffee pot - less likely to be an actual teapot. And yes, deviled egg plate for sure. ❤❤❤

[@evelyneca7454]

Love that idea of black mushrooms! I would have done a darkblue background and made it like glowing magic mushrooms at night!

[@hilarys3405]

Yes! Glowing mushrooms!

[@DawnDavidson]

Oooh! That would be great! Is there a glow in the dark glaze? That would be even more amazing! I wanted to see some color on the stems of the black mushroom. Maybe add some texture with some of the antiquing? I love the idea of spooky color combos, too. Purple, green and black, maybe with white, gold, silver, or glow in the dark spots?

[@TischNyugen]

I can envision the set with purple mushrooms with black dots next to the black ones, too. I love Halloween décor and that would fit in with my holiday table, perfectly. Love your work and your videos. Keep on and I'll keep watching.

[@kweenkitten6207]

I don’t care how much I have to pay…. I want that entire set! It is so beautiful!! Personally, I want to see something with soft pink mushrooms. I also love the wash u did with the black mushrooms, it made all the details stand out. That would look nice in other mushroom colors

[@kleinemol]

The handles on these pieces are ✨STUNNING✨! I’d love to see a size comparison to see how much they shrink, it’s such a fascinating process!!

[@shalaz1981]

Just to let you know, the 2 1/2 quart soup tureen did come with a plate and a ladle. Several pictures of it exist on pinterest.

[@shirliepriestley8761]

Im not a goth girl by any means, but these are stunning i would dearly love a set of these.

[@evaempress]

The 70's autumn orange and brown are my favorite mushroom vibe for this lovely set!

[@Courterfly]

I think you should totally do the whole set in red just because it would be so uniform and classic looking 😍🍄✨ I also loved the black! So pretty 🖤

[@Lea-bw9wj]

While I love all the new mushroom moulds, I love your joy and excitement at seeing everything for the first time way more. You really are a lucky duck for getting them. I was thinking it would be interesting to see the background painted as a tree and then you thought the same thing and since we are soon to go into spring I'd suggest some spring coloured mushrooms sitting on a tree

[@puppylove2363]

Your excitement each time you opened one was so fun to watch! What a perfect collection for you and that witchy set was beautiful, too.

[@joro7392]

That was so fun to watch. I found myself getting giddy with you as you opened each piece up. I’d love to see the whole range in your ‘red and white’ or your ‘blue’ mushy colours. They are such a sweet set 🍄

[@veannegilchrist9925]

You DO deserve EVERY SECOND of fun that you have. Your JOY is contagious❣️🇨🇦

[@MyLoveofCrafts]

What a fun collection I too would love to see a bright psychedelic color set. That would be different and I'm sure amazing. Like Alice in Wonderland with a sort of glow effect under the caps.

[@DawnDavidson]

How about a black background with psychedelic mushroom cap colors? Like how a 60’s poster of mushrooms might look under black light while you were tripping on shrooms! 😂😂😂

[@aegelotte]

The underglaze really makes the details of the pot pop. Would be interesting in light blue or light grey; even with the brighter colors.

[@AdirondackRuby]

As a perfectionist and completionist, I love that you've been able to acquire so many more pieces in this set! The handle on that teapot/coffee pitcher was STUNNING! And as far as I can see, there were actually utensils...didn't see a ladle, but I did see a very fancy fork & spoon. And I absolutely need that Deviled Egg plate! OMG! That large plate with not a lot of "food room" could be a salad plate, but if it works to catch drips, who cares! You make the rules!

[@SatumainenOlento]

That small teapot is exactly the size what you get in the cafe's in Ireland. You order a cuppa and the tea sits in the little teapot on the side. Normally you get 2 cups out of one teapot which is awesome! 🍀💚🍀

[@deedee3530]

It's for cream or milk. For coffee or tea. My aunt had this set back in the 70s

[@KimberleyJaskolski]

Omg what a partial set!! I can’t imagine the price tag on the parts of the set you have it would definitely be something to buy and then use! I would love to see it decorated!!

[@KCsunshineband384]

You deserve to be soooo happy and we're glad you get the opportunity to do what makes you so! Thank you for sharing your spirit and passion with us!!!

[@melissaquinn1463]

The mushroom canister was a blast from the past. My mom painted ceramics when I was little and she made a set of four for flour, sugar, etc. She picked the classic 70's color way of orange and brown.

[@silverlemniscate]

I love this mushroom set, please do finish off the set. My suggestion for the coloring would be to paint the base a grey with golden brown accents and the mushrooms a light cream with no dots and the grass a wasabi green. LOL I think that would be lovely. Your work is truly magical, thank you for all your talent and effort.

[@Brenilla]

I would adore seeing a video doing the series part you have (I can fully see why those are so popular/collectable!!) For color, I'm more of a autumn mushroom or blue than all red but either way it's going to be cute!

[@zoelangdon5346]

Shelly, you ABSOLUTELY do deserve to have that much fun! This video was so cute to watch, thank you.x.x.

[@Georgia-WRBNS]

Shelby, your reactions opening these molds Are Everything!!!🥰🥰🥰 I Love These molds!🥰

[@gorgw-ee8yc]

This has got to be one of my favourite videos you’ve done so far!! So so exciting and cute. And you in your matching overalls too! I wonder if the lidless one is just a spouted milk jug? Normally milk jugs just have a little pouring tip thing but you never know! Could always sell it that way if you don’t find lids. Can’t wait to see what you do with everything!

[@angelickaveach]

This was like watching a little kid opening Christmas presents, and you can't help but share in the excitement.

[@princesskaguya2000]

The black color palette is incredibly beautiful! There are so many night time accent colors you could add to add dimension and variety!

[@Christina-xc7on]

Whenever you bring out the gold lustre my jaw drops at the results. It's always such a showstopper!

[@lmiller1356]

I am living for the black & gold 🖤 as a gothy/spooky girl all year round this is right up my alley. Absolutely love them 😍

[@Nasalkeihpos]

So I don’t like mushrooms. I love this collection because you are so excited about it. The excitement and enthusiasm is infectious! ❤

[@juliannapetersanchez331]

My mom has this collection. It's so beautiful. I remember her coming home every few weeks with a new piece... over 25 years ago. Such memories this video brought back.

[@Kylee_Teaches_Stuff]

Excuse me. You said you “don’t deserve to have this much fun” and YES you do. You deserve to enjoy what you do. And your joy makes so many people happy, too. Don’t take that away from yourself!

[@sonia3649]

This is a very whimsical set. I believe with Mushroom there is a lot of designs to explore, since in Nature they are very diverse, with bright violet, blues and red colours, even glow in the dark ones. The partial set is amazing, although part of me would like to see a single one transformed into a fairy house. As a curiosity there is one mushroom named because was frequently consumed by the romans, Amanita Caesarean.

[@jessicac9216]

This was totally the gift that kept on giving! I loved all the mushy reveals!

[@spectralan0maly]

like oh my GOD could you IMAGINE setting up a little dinning table in the forest and using every single one of these??? magical. ideal. id kill for it.

[@visforvanessa9505]

You ABSOLUTELY deserve to have ALL the fun you are having!

[@sarasolomon4812]

Love this new season of Mystery Molds! Please do a reveal of a whole finished mushroom set. I vote for classic red with white dots. You don’t have to show us painting each one, as you said before, we’ve seen you paint mushrooms before. But maybe do a video showing the rest of the mushroom molds, and then show a finished set at the end.

[@TheSassenach]

Thank you so much for going outside of your comfort zone! I love the art you make, but as a diehard goth, I am love with the black mushrooms! Please consider black and silver if you do this again!! Thank you for all of your videos! They've been a source of comfort for me. ❤

[@aliaungst1174]

You deserve every ounce of joy and happiness. You’re spreading so much light and love.

[@msmteacher]

You completely deserve to find joy in simple things and what you love. Thank you for sharing your infectious enthusiasm ❤

[@jasonneste2575]

We definitely need to see the collection as a whole, and in the red and white color palette. So cool you got so many more pieces of this collection.

[@Jer-lp3qz]

The lid search was giving Goldilocks and now all I can picture is this adorable set in the bear family’s woodland kitchen. So excited to see it all painted!!

[@DawnDavidson]

Me too! I was totally waiting for her to say “and this one is JUST RIGHT”! 😂

[@LiterarySnob]

The tall pot with the spout is for coffee, and the short fat one is for tea. I love the whole set!! Can you imagine a kitchen all fitted with this lovely mushroom explosion!!

[@Rizky287]

I've never wanted a bowl more. The black gold and green is perfection! I need a coffee mug immediately 😍🖤🖤

[@d.j482]

I am CRAZY for those mushroom pots they're so cute~~ and the bowl with the black muchrooms are so witchy I love them 💖

[@scrappingrrl]

What a treat to be able to watch someone get so much joy from their work! Keep it up you make my day!!

[@ellie7878]

Don't get me wrong, I absolutely adore the cutesy woodland colours, total classic, but the goth in me appreciates you trying out different themes like this one

[@em-cd3817]

I think a full mushroom set where your typical red-orange colour palette is applied like the black wash would be great- some kind of intense red to peachy pale ombre that wipes away to leave a faint colour scheme in the divots, but is overall a neutral. Maybe with a few mushrooms done in detail scattered around?

[@mariedulongcourty]

i think the small ''coffee pot" is for milk we call it a "pot à lait" in french

[@Palitato]

If anything has ever encapsulated your style more, it's this mold!! How cute!!

[@DarthChichiri]

Oh my goodness, these are so magical! You could add a circle of dancing fairies in the center of the plates or on the indents of the deviled egg plate! You could even make the fairies native Australian flower/plant fairies! It would be so cute! I also loved the black and gold mushrooms you did!

[@sarah-janemorrisrinen3027]

If the single serve teapot has mini mugs that goes with it... it would make the sweetest children's tea set!

[@samanthadean1083]

I love this set!!! 😍 it would be amazing in red, especially if you left the trunks to match the mushrooms!!! It’d be like a giant mushroom surrounded by its babies!!! 🍄 I really hope you can find the matching ladle for the soup pot!!! …would you possibly be able to ship to Canada?

[@veannegilchrist9925]

I have that same question…🇨🇦

[@beceastwood8775]

I love the black and gold!!! If it is too much to do all year round, maybe each year at Halloween you do a black mushroom release

[@cheryldavis8776]

THAT'S a really GREAT IDEA!!!

[@Shannehh1337]

I would sell my soul for that mushroom collection... Imagine going to a dinner party and having all different types of mushroom foods on that tableware!?!! I would combust from joy. You're about to take a lot of my money Shelby ❤

[@00juls00]

Your reaction to the cuteness of them all had me laughing! 😊 They’re so delightful though! What mushroom beauties!

[@TwospotzArtAndCraft]

Ohhh it would be so cool to see the most complete set you can muster and painted in YOUR choice ofcourse. Setting a table with this would make people giggle, have fun and LOVE to hear the conversatio0n around them.

[@Nanenna]

Me: It looks like a bowl. Mold: I'm a MUSHROOM bowl! Me: O: It's so pretty! And perfect to go with your mushroom mugs! The black with gold is absolutely inspired! It does look very gothic and beautiful. They're all lovely, it's such a pretty design. Oh wow, the whole set! They're such huge molds, look at these big fellas! They're all so beautiful. A plate to go under the soup tureen to catch any spillage. And yeah, that funky one def looks like a deviled egg plate. All of these are so lovely. They fit together really well and they have so much personality even before being painted. Wonderful! I'd love to see you do them all painted in one video. One whole set done to match would make a stunning finish. (I am a fan of the traditional red/white, but I will also admit to being soft for the pastel eath tones you do.)

[@annp97]

Your reaction to each and every merry mushroom piece unmolding is priceless. Makes my heart happy ❤

[@ashleymichaels8916]

Those gold accents are AMAZING!!! I do love the “normal” mushroom colors you do, but WOW that gold!!!!!! ❤😊

[@panickednoodle]

This would look so cool with like a stone glaze or smth to make them look really ancient!

[@robins_corner]

My goodness it was fun to watch you in awe of the little mushroom sets. They are super cute! And I know tons of people who would absolutely love the black/gold mushrooms!

[@robins_corner]

p.s. Silly girl!

[@quisnessness]

I really would love to see a video with just the mushroom collection, even if you're painting every item the same way. The whole mushroom collection just with cute red toadstools would be so lovely and satisfying.

[@CrystalMendoza05]

Something about the whimsical nature of the pieces and how much joy they brought you made me want to cry happy tears🥹

[@MissSofyKoolaid]

I like the black and gold. It would look really elegant without the antiquing too, less goth. I like any colour palette you use for the mushrooms but red really is a classic!

[@shmo]

This is so pretty! This was truly a trust the process moment....the detail that the watery underglaze did 🤤

[@kristagreipel8009]

It is impossible to not smile when watching you open these. Your joy is contagious and makes my week.

[@caitlync6613]

The black and gold is absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see how you finish the mushroom collection!

[@jillsimpson8527]

I'd love to see that glaze technique you used to accentuate the "gills" and the exterior texture on any or all of the mushroom color sets. It really did a lot to define the edges of the stems. Super cute collection!

[@ashleyolson8968]

Absolutely LOVE that you're able to get this gorgeous dish set and make it exactly how you want it to be!

[@hellformichelle]

Besides the fact that these pieces are adorable, they're also incredibly well designed. I'm in love with this set

[@angelajellick7246]

Black and silver would be cool and even add purple 😊

[@merrymac5460]

Watching you geek out over your new magical mushroom moulds is the serotonin that I needed this morning! 😊❤

[@valeriebest1943]

Yes! We'd love to see the whole collection painted! Love from New York!

[@Liisa3139]

As soon as I saw the wide bowl (the one with a lower edge than the soup bowl) I saw the top of the cap (lid) in yellow, slightly creamy, pastel tone, but still fairly strong. Clearly my favorite piece of the set, because the cap is so wide and wavy. I just love that form!

[@kebert2thumbsup]

I'm not a big mushroom person. But this collection is so stinking cute! I can't wait to see them painted up! You'll have to sell the entire matching collection!

[@aprilwoosley1342]

Wow, I grew up in the 70's and 80's and loved the mushroom series back then. It wasn't until 2013 that I ever got into ceramics and I was tickled pink when I found out I could paint my own. After seeing this set you've got I'm all excited all over again and now want to fill my kitchen with this series. I love them!!! I've seen a couple of your videos before but now I'm going to follow and subscribe can't wait to see more mystery molds.
