Ep.8 Making hats out of CLAY? Does this work?

[@jamierussellville101]

Im surprised you didn't do a mushroom hat! Super cute as always. Its almost something you could do and change out for the seasons.

[@jenniferfontana2779]

That would be so cute!

[@miriamabdulhadi6995]

and a black ugly duckling as well

[@Coyo-Tea]

@@miriamabdulhadi6995no ducklings is ugly

[@jcortese3300]

Next time you have a craft fair, these things will go like hotcakes. They are so, so cute.

[@brandisse]

I would like to suggest that instead of blue tack to hold the hats, look into what is called museum wax. It is a safe wax, that you roll into the size you need to hold the pieces together. It has a super strong hold and if you take them apart, you can easily remover the wax with a finger nail or popsicle stick or manicure wooden stick.

[@veannegilchrist9925]

You gave me JOY today. I won’t tell you my troubles but suffice to say… I really needed you today❣️

[@LemonZest]

I think they would look adorable with real flowers on their heads too!

[@kalieris]

I love how all the ducks sitting together looked like a massive crowd of ducklings that were going to follow you around! They came out so adorable! The hats are very sweet and I think you caught the vibe of the original videos so well.

[@valeriehandmadewithheart]

You could use real dried flowers for hats too. Very cute. I love the ducks that you can see their eyes when the hats are on. These remind me of those garden ducks that have outfits for all weather, seasons, and holidays.

[@NagemYelmul]

I hope Mother of the Mountain sees this! Also, the pop of the flowers coming off the stilts was fabulous.

[@kaleshabastion2332]

I actually gasped when you pulled off the shelf and the 2nd Bach of Duckies were shown. They're SO cute. Exactly what I need as I currently go through a difficult time.

[@MyGardenDiary1111]

Hope things got better for you.

[@sherry-lynnzwaan1432]

I would like this twice if I could. So sweet and you were so excited!

[@laurensabino182]

These may be my most favorite thing you’ve done from this series 🥺🤍

[@PatriciaMaroney]

That's adorable. The little ducklings are so cute. Your idea to make the flowers was best. Glad it turned out like you envisioned.

[@peckishpagan]

I love these so much! I have a special affinity for ducks. In June of 2020, a mallard duckling got stuck in a machine at work and we ended up raising it at home since we couldn’t find its family or take it to a wildlife center. She eventually flew away and found a new duck family in a nearby marina to live as a wild, as she was meant to be. ❤🦆❤

[@DawnDavidson]

Yay! So glad she found her way back to her family in the wild. What a great adventure for your pandemic memories!

[@carlylewis7088]

They’re adorable, utterly cute. I like how inspired you were to create the hats. I hope you do more adaptations for your projects

[@dinahreyes4947]

Love the flower hats on the duckies! You are so adorable! I love your expressions of Joy!

[@elisabethdowd1869]

I love all your Australian flower dishes but oh my, these ducks with flower hats are the cutest ever!!

[@tinaholroyd4477]

OMG... I didn't know flower hats on ducks was even a thing. So freakin cute!!!

[@amandalea8772]

So cute I watch mother the mountain farm as well and they’re ducks are so sweet. You should send them one as a gift 😊

[@stephplave]

Never imagined a Shelby Sherritt x Mother the Mountain crossover, but it's clearly what we all needed!! This is fabulous! 🦆🌼

[@Beauvaissbb]

Oh my goodness! Shelby, they are so absolutely precious! ❤❤❤

[@MsMuppet1985]

Love them!!! So cute. Would be so fun if you sold these with a two or three pack of each interchangeable hats. Maybe based on the seasons? A new hat for every season!

[@MyMaggieNy]

Hearing your excitement. Understanding your explanations. Then hearing when you said you were so proud of these. This is a great video Shelby. So cute and whimsical.

[@gamewrit0058]

10:45 LOVE the pink that you mixed yourself. 💗🌺

[@Ylime00120]

I love love love these!!!! What an adorable, charming, joyful idea 🥰🤩 I'd happily watch a whole mini series where you sculpt different hats for these duck friends!

[@jpendowski7503]

The absolute best part was your reaction and enthusiasm for this project. The hat flowers are such a precious addition. Glad you ran two batches so you could test your process. Wondering if it is possible to make a slightly more delicate (thinner) flower, however I trust your knowledge and skill with the slip clay. Cheers from the Midwest USA. 🐥💜

[@gemstonerose6099]

There so cute I wish she did a bride's and Groom's duckie addition with a blushing bride/groom for the duck with the head down it would be sooooo kawaii

[@Beren_Yildirim]

I cannot handle this cuteness. Ducks and especially ducks in hats are my most recent obsession 😍😍😍😍 you did an amazing job as always

[@Syzygyzzz]

Super cute. I also love the duck hats photos! I'm so happy you included all the little snaps when removing the flowers from the stilts. That was very satisfying.❤

[@bridgettesitton7018]

I can't believe the stuff you come up with it's awesome hun I love these my favorite was the ombre one as well I love the way you colored the ducks just everything you decided on matched so well good one hun can't wait for next one!!❤❤❤

[@Ains810]

I love that we're gettting to see more skills with pottery from you now

[@StillAmanda]

I love the leaf hats on them!

[@claudiagarciaromero7815]

Me too 😊❤

[@meganb1125]

They're precious!! And I loved seeing your excitement pulling them out of the kiln the second time 😊

[@CodeOmega0]

These duckies are SO CUTE. The hats absolutely take them to the next level - the little lily pad ones are my absolute favorite.

[@SmilesWonderland]

Soooo adorable!❤❤❤ Since you added stems you could always poke a hole in the top and hang them like when you fire beads or chimes. It could help with the stilts.

[@onevoice13]

The joy you get from revealing your work makes it that much more special ❤

[@cljeans8399]

A new mystery mould! What a great way to begin the day! ❤❤

[@oliviashoucair1232]

This is one of my favorites! Love the mix of techniques with the poured mold and hand sculpting. They are too adorable and those colors are stunning!

[@Beckyhoop5495]

Oh Shelby these are so adorable,,, you have to make these available on your web site they will go like hotcakes 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 and I luv the the hat that is your fav as well those colors are fabulous 💚

[@triciac1019]

I love how you feed the whimsical part of us all. I love all the different colors of the ducklings and flowers.

[@amandab6034]

When you opened the kiln to reveal the ducks, it looks like they were swimming in a little pond! SO cute…

[@Tegamegadrive]

Wow. They are stunning! You did a great job. The hats make them!

[@JenniShea]

SO FREAKING CUTE!!! I CANT!😩😍

[@shalaz1981]

Those are sooo cute! The hats are such a whimsical idea. I really like molds too. If I had them I’d try painting them as baby swans.

[@samanthadean1083]

OMG!!! So adorable!!! ❤️ Reminds me of Beatrix Potter’s Jemina Puddleduck!!! I wonder if there was a mother duck mold as well? Awesome job!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@muddeeewenched854]

Love the duckies wearing flowers so quacking much 🤗🥰🦆👒🌼💮🍁🦢

[@hollinal]

Watching you pop the hats off the stilts is pure asmr.

[@Leslie-wb8cb]

Those are the cutest EVER!!! Oh my gosh, I squealed!! Those flowers are just perfect on top, and the colors and brushstrokes just make them. xoxo

[@nikiiijello1217]

This is my favourite episode so far! I love that you made flower tops for them. So, so, so adorable. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@gypsi812]

Could you put a magnet in the duck head when you pour and the flower when you sculpt so that it securely attaches? That would allow you to do interchangeable shapes more easily. And maybe make add ons...a birthday hat, bunny ears, something Christmasy. Love this mold❤

[@LauraMe...]

So adorable! I love them and as someone else said you could do seasonal hats for them ❤❤❤

[@00juls00]

Adorable! I love the little leaf hats especially.

[@hanabaker87]

Oh wow! I’ve never seen that account and I love that you created your own pottery version! Gorgeous! Could picture this as a Mouldy Bisquit!!! 😍🙈 Love them Shelby! Too cute!

[@maggiemasztal1384]

So cute! I love the flower with the color gradient!

[@eliflames5157]

OMG , I'm dieing from the cuteness. The duckies are so cute.

[@heathermann4240]

They are all very sweet. And I love the flower idea too.

[@alicsmith9142]

So absolutely adorable. Also, I think a few of the antiqued ducks look good mixed in with the brighter ones. 😍

[@livvyweimar7362]

Some curled up petals would be so much fun with these little duckies!

[@ThatPaintingLass]

So cute. These would be so lovely in a nursery or a garden or kitchen or anywhere! Just so happy and lovey! Great job as always!

[@clamh84]

I gasped when you removed the kiln shelf and revealed the duckies! I absolutely adore the yellow ones ❤

[@damealeta3541]

I'm so in love with these little guys!!! You make and take these to your next crafter's fair will sell out the first day! I'm so jealous of the folks who live neat you. I live in the U.S. and have no way to get to AUS any time in the foreseeable future. Too bad you don't take orders for small items but I totally understand. I'll just admire your work online and ohh and awe over them here. Love and ducks! 💚🌼🦆

[@melmtotwo6193]

These are probably one of my favourites! How gorgeous!

[@puppylove2363]

They are adorable!! I love how excited you get making your art.

[@BP-ef8mr]

I need ALL OF THESE!!! That is so freaking ADORABLE!!

[@pamspringer5131]

That is the cutest thing I've ever seen! ❤

[@kitschscool561]

You have come so so far Shelby! These are absolutely amazing 🦆🦆🦆

[@ArtemensiaK]

Cute. Now I am sad and glad, that I try to not buy anymore decorative items. These are extremly cute

[@charnesch4274]

Oh my goodness! Cuteness overload for sure...adorable, love them all!

[@susank2586]

I love both versions of colour on the ducklings. The flowers are beautiful colours, but the leaves were my favourite, as I could see their eyes better when it was a leaf or lilypad.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Awww..I love every little ducky and hat...so cuuuute ❤

[@robinmentzer7974]

These are adorable, love the different hats. Defnitely need hats for all the different seasons and holidays.

[@jinjib7809]

I love all of the fun hats! I think my favorite is the one that was your favorite, but I love all of the bright colors!

[@noneofbizorjuliejt6466]

They are so stinking adorable! The hats are hysterically cute

[@joanspragg9395]

Hi I love these little ducklings. The flowers I think could be just a smudge smaller on some so you an see the eyes more as the eyes are what I always look at, but that’s just me probably. Mushrooms head would look cute as well. I love the leaf on them as well. Well done on the firing they came out so good xx 🐝

[@Dustinlove102]

14:02 this is definitly one of my ABSOLUTE FAVORITES that you’ve done yet! 🌺🌸🌼 🐤🐤🐤

[@katiehettinger7857]

I see an Easter brunch table with a half dozen duckies among mini vases of powers. 😊👍💖

[@GuanoLad]

Another brilliant creative idea from Shelby.

[@durindaau8085]

Omgosh, those are so adorable. I love them so much. You have such a creative imagination and such talent.

[@billsflower]

OMG!!! Those ducks are priceless ❤

[@clayrblu]

😱😱😱 Adorable!! 😍 Also, your cute outfit at the beginning?? ADORABLE!! 🥰😍🥰😍🥰😍

[@saraferreira-holz6375]

These are super cute. I love ducks!! As soon as you said flower hats, I knew what you were going to do! I've seen that video and I loved it.

[@samkat1160]

Its like a desktop porch goose. They came out so well 🎉

[@jenniferfontana2779]

Love the little ducks and I want to see the decorated for each holiday/season!!!

[@birgitstork5228]

A great thanks to the camera person. Really good work

[@Bloodstainedwings]

this brought so much joy to my day, thank you so much for this

[@coloringwithd]

OH MY!!! These are so cute!!!! You did a great job on them. I absolutely love their hats. Thank you for the fun ♥♥♥

[@serenedaisy17]

Awwww those ducks just made my day

[@amybrady727]

Sooo cute. Do you know if you can in bed magnets? It would be great to hold the flowers!

[@amiemarieart]

Oh this would be brilliant!

[@DawnDavidson]

Or maybe poke some holes in a couple of petals, so you can thread narrow ribbon through to tie them on like bonnets? So cute!!

[@AnneOfKleeves]

Oh my goodness, these are so cute! I LOVE the flower hats!

[@maddyjames5244]

I love these so much. I need a duck with all the hats 🥰

[@felinetherapy4782]

They are adorable. I think you have a best seller there!

[@lovekimberleyday9232]

The little ducks r adorable 💕💕💕💕

[@mjb7015]

These are so adorable, great ideas making the little flower hats. When you said "flower hat", I was originally thinking like a straw hat with flowers around the brim, like Jemima Puddle-Duck might wear.

[@Cate7451]

I ❤ this!!! But I misunderstood! I thought you were making a clay hat with ducklings on it. Ha ha that’s so great!!! I love ducklings. Happiness!!!

[@patdavis1468]

They are so adorable!!!👍🏻❤️🤗

[@kayta84]

My first thought when you Unmoulded this was a birdbath whit water lilies and bubble glaza😊 love the flowers ❤

[@scrappingrrl]

I have to tell you that this is my favourite part of my youtube week!

[@normaowens7340]

I learned so much today. I always thought clay, that's it. I now find the are different types. Thank you!

[@markusstorzer4545]

love them!!! So cute and precious!! good idea of letting the inspiration that hit you come to life!

[@memmiiis]

I love them! I think that this is one of my favourites so far!

[@Nasalkeihpos]

These ducks are ridiculous and super cute!

[@patriciahite8562]

You are so clever with your artwork. Wish I was closer to see your work in person.
