I tried Air Brushing my Pottery for the FIRST TIME! Mould Number 90

[@jpendowski7503]

My daughter and I rewatched and she was super amused by the kiln shot “Look at the sheep burning in the kiln” we both laughed. 😂💜

[@diddiaries6068]

Those are stunningly dreamy. I'm smitten by their charm, the idea of little counting sheep is so incredibly adorable. I love how you live in this ethereal, fairy-like state of mind where you can create beautiful objects in contrast to a dreadful reality. Yours is a silent, peaceful protest against the ugliness of modern society, and I live for it.

[@AbbySueM]

These are extra cute! Just wanted to let everyone know that this Riverview Mould company is STILL in operation (even though the site looks like it’s from the 2000s). I just placed an order this week! ❤ you inspired me to get into slip casting, it’s been tons of fun!

[@evelyneca7454]

Ok these are stunning. When the mold was shown my first reaction was 'that's ok, a sheep' and then you added the clouds and then the gold luster and my jaw was on the floor! They look stunning!! That went from something I would have glanced at in a shop and moved on from something I would want on my nightstand! Your creativity is beautiful and a joy to see!!!

[@dmmomma]

The Gold Luster Makes An Appearance!!! WOO-HOO! Watching your posts each week and waiting for the day the gold is brought out! Remembering your trip and the sunset was so beautiful, I love that you found a way to bring it into a new mold. Very pretty and can see this in so many collections of animals or mommas and babies or rainbows or sunsets or all of the above! lol

[@bbmeltdown2665]

I am in love with these designs that you pulled off. I adore how you're willing to try and those clouds n stars turned out so wonderful! Grats on such an adorable set of lambs.

[@nanniekim]

Hey Shelby those are so cute. Love the stars and clouds and could definetly see the difference between the ones with lusture and the ones without. Loved your final set up ❤

[@ShelbySherritt]

I am so glad you could see the difference 💕 I am so happy you liked them as much as I do 💕

[@HeSorsa]

Hi Shelby! I’d ask luster tips from porceline painters! I believe they use some kind of sponge to apply it and also they thin it with lavender oil or luster thinner before applying (asked my mom 😅) Good luck with experimenting! Love your work! ~Helena, Finland (next to North pole😊)

[@zingleberrie]

Something that is actually uploaded in Australian time and I can watch as soon as it uploads instead of 4am 😂 such a great job Shelby, nice one to watch before bed!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Tell me about it 😂 I always get complaints for my restocks and why I can’t list things at 4am!! I am like now you all get to experience what we go through hahaha

[@zingleberrie]

@@ShelbySherritt hahaha between the timezone debacle and the exorbitant postage costs, definitely makes me feel like we are in Narnia or something way out here!

[@paigegough6929]

Next time you set up cotton clouds you can add fairy lights and they look magic and define your clouds

[@jpendowski7503]

Thank you for the sunset video and your inspired version. Happy to see you expanding your tool kit. The colors and additions were so good. 💜cheers from the Midwest USA

[@fondasharkey-wyatt9944]

I always enjoy the things you come up with to make these molds your own. Great idea to add the clouds and stars! I really love how these turned out. You SHOULD be proud!

[@carihislop161]

Love the inspiration and the end results! Your dreamy sunset sheep are gorgeous. Love the blue heads!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Thank you so much 💕

[@judgejulie3745]

This is one of my favorite molds recently! I love the way you modified them yourself to fit your vision. That was really fun to see!

[@Eliza-xd5ck]

Always good to add another tool to your kit! Looking forward to seeing more airbrushing in future, this has opened up a whole new aesthetic for you!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Absolutely! This was the whole point of this video for me and to learn something new! I hope it encourages the excitement of learning and giving something a go 💕

[@jcortese3300]

10:24 -- OMG that is the most gorgeous thing! I'm not even a pottery collector, and I would absolutely love that mama and baby sheep pair! I love the sunset colors, the cloud, the stars, the whole works.

[@joanna5662]

I've just finished having so much fun watching your videos over the past few weeks. You're such a fantastic creator to watch, I love seeing you challenge yourself and it's great to hear your thoughts on what you're trying, and your encouraging words for all of us as well. I'm so looking forward to anticipating your new videos now I've watched all the old ones, it's going to be a lovely spot in my day. Thank you so much for all the time and effort you put into all your work and videos. I also can't wait to see more episodes about your new studio!!

[@paranoiarpincess]

These are my favourite pieces you've shown us so far! Just wow Shelby. Wow. I'm in absolute love.

[@victoriavires9921]

These are PRECIOUS!!!! The gold stars and lustre clouds are so ethereal and sweet!

[@May_Flowers696]

Such sweet little sheep! It's always a treat to see gold accents coming out of the kiln. The transformation is magic. Excellent job for a first time using airbrushing. Adding more techniques unlocks so many new and exciting possibilities. Can't wait to see how you keep growing as an artist.

[@feuilletoniste]

The sheep mould is quite sweet, but your dreamland sunset, clouds, and stars decorations adds so much to the figurine! They would be perfect ornaments for a nursery or a small child’s bedroom. 🌜🐑⭐️

[@AnnieNoodle]

Oh my goodness!! The little sheep with clouds and stars!!! I think they might be my favorite so far!

[@bonnielarson4160]

Your enthusiasm, and joy is what makes these videos, I watch them Friday morning as I get ready for the day, and it certainly helps lift my mood. Being a stay at home mom, Fridays don't hit the same, so I appreciate the spot of sunshine you provide, Thank you for sharing your talents with us. Excited to see your finished studio, you'll be over the moon I'm sure.

[@ciarandurkan2110]

Shelby! I love these sheep so much and you keep adding more fun decoration experiments and variations every week…it’s such a treat to watch you de-mould, paint, glaze every week. Honestly, I don’t know what I’ll do when you run out of moulds and the series come to an end😢 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@MidwestArtist]

Cutest thing so far. The palette, subject matter and the metallic touches all work so well together. I'm in love!

[@GSMachinist]

These are so sweet! I think they'd also look lovely in a soft navy with gold luster stars, to really get that sleepy time feeling

[@pandoraplexus]

Shelby, I love how each mould inspires you to try a different glaze application method

[@helenhodge-croom9635]

@sheepishlyme-sandiBrock raises sheep and her babies are so cute! Lots of neat coat patterns on her recent lambing group...if you haven't checked her out you should!

[@wendynordstrom3487]

I love the addition of the gold stars. So cute!

[@creepiebeastie]

I'm losing it over how PRECIOUS these are. Amazing job!!

[@lynniev]

Omg these are simply precious! I love that you added clouds and stars!

[@phirah79]

I'm in love with these. They are so dreamy and lovely. What a great idea. The gold stars came out especially beautiful. I also really noticed with this mold how much they shrink when they are fired. I would love to see this mold done with some rustic natural colors like with spotty grey wool or black faces with brown wool.

[@Sarahmalt]

Hi Shelby! Great work! I use an airbrush alot and for better control you can place the airbrush in your hand more like you would write a letter. It also looks that your either to close to the figure or you use to much pressure. You don't want the paint to move once it's on the figure, so the paint "rolls" . That way the paint can bunch up to thick or thin in some areas. Also don't forget to wear a mask while airbrushing! You don't want any micro paint particles in you lungs 😉

[@ShelbySherritt]

Thank you so so much!!! I really appreciate your advice to hold it like a pen 🤪 I was a little cautious of the airline and not going to lie was so scared it would blow off for some reason so held it weird so I wasn’t near the air line. Now I know it’s safe I’m definitely going to use it like a pen now. I actually had a lot of difficulty with the type of paint, it was so runny it was putting on barely any colour and because you need three thick coats of underglaze (this would be equivalent to about 6 coats of solid acrylic colour) so it is actually visible on the piece, I started just going in with big splatters and letting it drip. I know it’s not the correct technique but after I started doing it I was loving how the colours settled in the texture of the sheep and visually being able to actually see the colour. All a bit of a experiment for me to play with and see what I like to do. I’m definitely not scared of it anymore which is good 🥺 I also forgot to mention that I was wearing a mask and safety glasses. You can hear my deep mask breathing in this footage which isn’t ideal ahahha so I didn’t put it in the video 💕 Again thank you, it was so fun, I definitely have a lot to learn and I can’t wait to look back at this footage and cringe at my technique like you have today but also remind myself that it’s ok to not be great at something when you are learning 💕

[@Sarahmalt]

@@ShelbySherritt you did great for your first try! I remember I was scared to death the compressor would explode when I started painting with the Airbrush 😅 If you need more paint for the glaze maybe take a look at the nozzle. I would recommend getting a 0.4 or 0.6 if you can get one. That way you should achieve a thiker coat much faster. Otherwise have fun painting! The Airbrush is such a nice tool. And trying is half the fun isn't it? 🙂

[@00juls00]

These lovely little sheep remind me so so much of a porcelain unicorn music box I had as a kid in the 90s. There was definitely rainbow on the base as well as precious little clouds. So similar! Thanks for the memory throwback. :)

[@debraking7412]

Hi Shelby, I think you made a fabulous job of the sheep. The air brushing made for a softer look. I love them. xx

[@joybernard7359]

Love that you did the stars gold. They are beautiful.

[@Zhelana]

I love the little lambs with the stars & clouds!

[@janetsutherland7649]

Your videos are so uplifting. Just what we all need.

[@ragdollrose2687]

Adorable! Such a sweet concept 😊

[@ShelbySherritt]

Thank you so very much 😭

[@like90]

I love these little sheep. They would look so cute in a nursery on a shelf.

[@StormTalara]

I love how you added the little clouds and stars, especially with the gold lustre. The sheep look like maybe something from a nativity set or something. 😁

[@KaylaCakes87]

I LOVE the clouds and gold stars! They would be so lovely in a nursery!

[@brookgarrett8632]

So cute!!! I love how you did the lusters on the clouds and stars 😍

[@wendynordstrom3487]

Beautiful job, Shelby! They're all so charming! I love them. ❤❤

[@earthlover04]

Loved your set up with the sheep on the clouds. So cute 😁

[@taylorvandeventer1188]

These are gorgeous! I love how you take vintage looking pieces, but make them look like they should be in any home today ❤

[@dejahdanger]

I adore these. And the little clouds and stars turned out so cute.

[@luciekleen3240]

These are really beautiful. I love the soft colors on them.

[@dawnk6910]

As always a success! Love your aesthetic shelby, the airbrushing is always personal and its your stamp. Not really a sheep person, but these are so cute, and would look brilliant in a nursery! Well done! X

[@AdirondackRuby]

You are just the Queen of Precious Whimsy, aren't you? LOL! These were adorable. The gold on the stars was a great choice.

[@jasonneste]

Such a cute mold. I love what you did with them. They're so whimsical.

[@jennyandrews546]

I love all of this. And I especially love that you take us on the journey of let's try and see....

[@margie2092]

Oh those are just beautiful. I loved the blue one. The airbrush definitely was a good choice.

[@hannekevankeulen494]

"Look at their little faces in there burning" said the witch in Hansel and Gretel. Haha! ❤ I love that you went with a bedtime counting sheep concept, very pretty!

[@michelelloyd7548]

Shelby, you truly are brilliant with your ideas! These turned out adorable!

[@tricedunnell8729]

I love the lamb and your artistry effects

[@ingridc0ld]

Oh my goodness! I love the luster! So pretty!

[@nikkiewhite476]

I love them! they look like dream sheep waiting in the clouds to be counted! you did a perfect job! Thank you

[@peckishpagan]

I love these! The air brushing is absolutely beautiful 🌅. It looks like fun!

[@ShelbySherritt]

Thank you! It was so much fun to try something new this week!

[@Fluffymonkeyem]

Those stars and clouds are so clever!

[@spellcaster7893]

These are my absolute favourite that you’ve done so far. The airbrushing is lovely

[@Stormandfire]

The sheep with the gold stars and clouds are so cute!

[@vickiraess5794]

Hi Shelby! I've been watching you from the beginning and this was my favorite video yet! Absolutely gorgeous! Especially the gold luster stars 😍 I've loved being here and watching you grow as an artist and letting us watch you learn and inspiring me to try something new.

[@Nanenna]

Oh, your airbrush is a dual action. Funnily enough I had a similar experience, for years at work I used a single action air brush to color cakes, then I transfered to a different store and no one had told me the air brush was dual action. I could not for the life of me figure out why just pulling back wasn't working like normal. I actually made an entire special order cake that by my standards was super sloppy because I could only get it to work in little spots. And THEN I figured it out and was so embarrassed LOL The sheep came out so dreamy! They're so beautiful and the gradient is lovely. I love the colors. That is an interesting hole in the next reveal.

[@ShelbySherritt]

Bahahahha this is so great! I’m so glad we can share this unknowing together. I wish I had a video of my reaction when I realised I also had to push down as I released. That’s why my blue application was so nice because I all of a sudden realised at the end that more paint came out in a cleaner movement 🤪 I was struggling and becoming impatient with it for a long time so I’m so happy I know for next time! So just know I did the exact same thing as you but I also filmed in and showed the whole world that I didn’t know 😂🥹

[@njc325]

Ok. You definitely showed. TRUST THE PROCESS 😳🤩 officially my new favorite of all you have done.

[@surestar74]

Adorable! The gold stars are chefs kiss!

[@bohemepoet]

gasped so loud at the gold luster reveal! love them!!

[@needtsleep]

Hi :) in Scandinavia the small mushrooms whit the metallic strings in the bottom is used here to have around Christmas. They are put in ether the advent lights or in the Christmas tree :)

[@annmackenzie5253]

I really love the blue touch too so pretty 😍 💙 and the one with the gold stars and white clouds is probably my favorite

[@TiffYG2133]

The gold always looks so great but even with out they are adorable!

[@spryknits]

adorable! and so excited for a 1 parter next week!

[@paranoiarpincess]

As soon as I saw "air brush" I wondered if you had gotten NerdECrafter's latest art box lol. It comes with a refillable air brush that doesn't even need an air compressor and is being touted by everyone as an amazing airbrush.

[@blueeyesandchubbythighs3049]

I wondered that too! I'd love to see her use that kit 🥺 I love NerdECrafter

[@ThatDuckieMoment]

I brought one for my son's birthday back in may purely because it's rechargable via USB. I have a plug in one that I use for cakes and I can confirm his is so much less hassle. I have to have an extension lead and wires dragged halfway around the house!

[@izzzicm]

Airbrushing seems like a great way to keep the texture of the fur that you get in some of these mystery molds! I’m excited to see you use it more :)

[@cherylburkitt9722]

awww.so cute..I'm always impressed with the gold glaze...

[@colleenity]

So lovely! I hope to see more airbrushing in the future. The effect is so nice and smooth. :) I just love that as an artist you have an outlet to try new techniques and experiment and that we get to be a part of it. And the benefit is getting to learn some techniques or you can gather suggestions to improve in the future.

[@taranelson5269]

I love you videos Shelby. Iv had a rough couple of year health wise. Your video make me feel so happy. Your amazing

[@ShelbySherritt]

Sending you big hugs! I’m so happy these videos can be there for you when you need them the most. I hope that your health improves very soon 💕

[@dawnmaclellan7831]

Very adorable love what you did with the stars and clouds

[@lizbratcher2919]

You’re so creative! I would never have thought to do this!

[@StickyFrogStudio]

The airbrushing turned out so wonderful and beautiful I love it!!!! Ahhh

[@marilyngriffith2329]

I love this mold ans especially the air brush. Simply beautiful!!

[@pamoquinn7331]

Oh my goodness! These might be my favorites yet! I love sheep and these are amazing!

omg this is probably my favorite end result

[@harley.j.indigo]

if you end up making more, i think it'd be super cute to give one of the lambs a little cloud puff on the head! just for some extra baby energy💙

[@belindawallace5203]

You have such great imagination, the sheep are beautiful!

[@kiarakeeper2154]

Remember, you started this out saying you wanted to try new techniques, and you've definitely done that. But this one really pushed you! Would love to see you do more air brushing again in the future.

[@alspaughstaci]

Gorgeous for easter

[@Drag_on_king]

Oh I really like the ones with stars. I'd like. to see one with the blue mixed in as well since the blue shade makes me think of more of a sunset than the dawn like feel I get from the ones without blue

[@shannonkeneson4693]

I think those are great! I do love the airbrush and how it looks! I've never seen gold luster put on before! That was so cool!

[@darlouthia5153]

OMGOODNESS !! These are absolutely adorable !! This is my favorite so far 😍

They are so beautiful!! Well done ❤

[@joanspragg9395]

[@heatherkaye8653]

Oh these are darling! I want to get my mom one! They remind me of the lamb from the old school nativity scene figurines we had growing up.

[@leahsamuel6370]

One of my favorite so far they've all been lovely but this is just marvelous
