Ep. 6. You are not going to like my decisions this week! - Playing Smash or Pass with my Pottery

[@ShelbySherritt]

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.

[@sarahchalmers9120]

So sorry you have to deal with that Shelby. Sending love from Scotland. Love your work xx

[@Creativjess]

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 ❤

[@Vocalinds]

Oh, that's sad! I love this series, whether I agree with your choices or not!! ❤

[@ShelbySherritt]

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.

[@SharonRaeRyan]

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?

[@jalapeno_cupcake]

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! 💖

[@ShelbySherritt]

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 😅

[@alisonjamesart2829]

I love this idea!! I would love to see that as a little series!!

[@boobaloob87]

Love this idea!!!!

[@annwitten4359]

That would be cool to do!

[@00juls00]

Oh my gosh 😂 yes!

[@TanteAndreaHays]

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!

[@rienekewesterink5458]

My first thought about the boot was "moulin rouge" Paris. But maybe it was the dansen you did... 😂

[@ShelbySherritt]

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!

[@elyssadougherty8255]

​@@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!

[@teilzeithobbit7441]

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 KZbin channel called Priorattire that has videos of historical outfits that feature boots like these, she also has various styles.

[@belindawallace5203]

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.

[@teganjayne8439]

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

[@Costumerchx]

Yes! Thank you. I said the same. Not the same as Amish dolls, but a very popular style in the 90’s

[@ShelbySherritt]

Ahhh that makes so much sense! I thought they were patchwork eyes and then I couldn’t see past it!

[@jifferbvintageglee6834]

😊@@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.

[@VioletsOnMars]

I thought the sitting doll was so cute. It's perfect for a bookshelf. 😊

[@ShelbySherritt]

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 ❤

[@jadedcupschubert2609]

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

[@Opalsfire1]

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.

[@schaynegeorge4793]

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.

[@ShelbySherritt]

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 😅

[@MrsLaurianSmith]

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.

[@corndogattheendofthepool]

I agree, very victorian look. late 1800s

[@Emmajen]

Yes, definitely Victorian!!

[@teresabotkins4983]

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!

[@ShelbySherritt]

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

[@ryansg9]

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

[@QuivaRPG]

I was going to say the same thing!

[@GroovlyDo]

@@QuivaRPG Or an oversize knob for a butter dish?

[@Lan..]

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" 😊

[@tacticalglitterbomb]

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!

[@ShelbySherritt]

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 ❤

[@kirstenbowman1199]

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.

[@kirstenbowman1199]

@@GuanoLad thanks, have sever dyslexia and a long day so my spelling I’d really BAD

[@Betty_Virago]

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.

[@clamh84]

@@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.

[@LilikoLovely]

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 😊

[@impagain]

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!

[@s_rofbear]

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 😅😝

[@aliciacantin7993]

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!!!

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

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!

[@Lana.Created]

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.

[@ShelbySherritt]

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!

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!!

[@StormTalara]

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. ❤

[@ShelbySherritt]

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!

The boot is calling for a collab with Nicole Rudolph here on KZbin! 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!

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

[@misscraftsalot8647]

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!

[@marjoleine100]

I loved the last doll. It kind of reminded me of a sun child doll (anthroposophic or waldorf doll). they only have a very simple face without expression (dotted eyes, line of mouth). Sometimes drawn sometimes embroidered. It doesn't matter that the face can fade and it is often left that way. The idea is that a child in the game can make the doll feel what they want. I totally understand your feelings about dolls.

[@AniRSm]

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. 😅

[@OneGuyOnline2]

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

[@clownfromclowntown]

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!

I love the Victorian shoe. It would make a great Halloween decoration.

[@novawinchester3821]

I love those cows, weird mouths and lobster claws included lmao 🤣🤣🤣

[@amandah9270]

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. 💜

👍🏿 the bears and cows just didn't do anything for me and the doll " I always feel like somebody's watching me " comes to mind even without a face . 😁

Keep up the good work. You have to paint these so whether I like them or not, you are the artist. So No cows, no patchwork, no Amish girl , yes boot. Today I agree.

[@Audreyzenith96]

You could even theme the boot for Halloween when that rolls round again. A witches boot. With curled up toe!

[@sierralaclair8204]

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!!!!!

[@annwitten4359]

You made perfect decisions! I love the boot!! 💜

[@smarterthanawaffle]
