[@renj4367]

This is really lovely! A little tip from someone who used to lay tile for a living: Remember to space your tiles to make sure you have room for your grout to go, otherwise you're just wasting grout.

[@Serena-or7sl]

Also having same-height tiles would be better

[@sallyliali7813]

She was using chopsticks I was like puffy knife. Thank you for the spacing advice

[@sallyliali7813]

What about sculpt for chess pieces?

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

I really don't understand why she didn't use the same height of tiles either. Not only does that make it difficult to grout, but it makes the board un-aesthetically pleasing, as well as just weird to play on a board with some spots raised (you can't slide your pieces when making moves).

[@arleebean]

What a gorgeous videooooo! I loved every step of this process. :] Thanks for sharing it with us!

[@PearFleur]

thank you!! love you & your videos.

[@Mojothepyrut]

Very relaxing watching this ❤

[@atsubw]

I always have such a deep admiration for artists. that dedication to spend years working on something that others say is just a hobby, and the ability to make something beautiful from nothing is so refreshing in this world

[@hannieyappie]

what beautiful words!

[@emilygrace3526]

Hi, I’m an artist. Last year when I first read your comment, I wrote what you said on the inside cover of my sketchbook. Actually, I think I wrote it in my notebooks too. You so simply captured exactly what it is that I love about creating art. Today I searched out this video because I wanted to make my own chess set (because after years of saying I’ll learn to play someday, I’ve finally started playing and I love it actually) and I ran into your comment again. It hit me between the eyes, again. And now the words mean so much more than they did a year ago. I’m 19, not in college, and still searching for my calling. Art has always been a passion of mine, and in this search for what I’m supposed to do with my life, I keep running in circles back to art. I have no idea what I want to do with my art, much less how I’m going to make a living from it, but thankfully I have the time and resources to pursue what art is to me. So that’s what I’m going to do, one step at a time. I’m going to pursue what I love, and trust that that’s where I’m supposed to be. So thank you once again for your inspiring words, friend. I will definitely be writing them in my current sketchbook. And maybe my journal too. ♥️

[@CurrieGOAT]

When I saw this on IG I just knew a video was coming 🤩

[@DesiresAttackVirtues]

It's great to know you watch Pearfleur too! Love your vids man keep it up

[@PearFleur]

[@ThatOneWeirdGal]

Just knew this girl didn't know how to play chess either...

[@mossyrocks1096]

I love how the king and queen are colored slightly different to the rest of the pieces. It really helps them stand out!

[@oliverowen3395]

Beautiful, but arent the queens always supposed to be on thier color tile?

[@theoldleafybeard]

@@oliverowen3395 exactly! I guess praise her for the art, and praise the chess experts for their own art. Heheh

[@Thoughtspresso]

As a person who paints D&D minis, just wanted to say that you could avoid holding the chess pieces while painting them by placing a bit of stick tack on the bottom, and putting it on a wine cork or a bottle cap or jar cover that you can hold instead. Been v helpful to me so maybe somebody here might benefit from it.

[@missprincejessie]

Tip I heard from my art professor a couple years back when dealing with the tiles is soaking them in water will make the mesh disintegrate. (Though I’m not sure if all mesh is the same)

[@juleatries]

this en-tile project is chess plain amazing!! 💯

[@jpsifamily8060]

your craftsmanship is amazing. I usually don't watch these types of videos all the way through, but the fact that you're so creative, find a way to make the videos appealing to the eyes and ears, and how meticulous you are with all of your projects and crafts keeps me completely invested.

[@LisaCloverbloom]

This has inspired me to get into sculpting! I used to love ceramics when I was younger, but I never got back into it. Thank you!

[@bacteria1337]

One time my marble chess set had a missing piece so I had to make a new castle out of clay. It doesn't look good but it really helps to complete my set. But, this chess set, you have made, gave me an inspiration. I cannot tell how thankful I am. This set looks stunning! The colors, the shapes bring it all together. I'm delighted to see this video on my home page. Thank you!

[@aaliyadenisersullano7753]

I don't know why but you have the most peaceful area for this?! So relaxing❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@lalathelemonllama]

I tried doing this once! It was for my final project in my beginning ceramics class. I think doing the pieces the way you did would’ve been waaay easier than what I did. I tried making a flower chess set, and each piece took at least an hour. Maybe I’ll try it again one day with simpler designs haha.

[@Namse21]

The cinematography and the music were so Studio Ghibli-esque… simple, calming and stunning…

[@trainwreck8301]

this is it. my favorite video. ever. nothing will top this. the hunger this gives me to make something cannot and will not be matched. beautiful. really, truly beautiful

[@LPSAngels32]

the ending where you show it being used is so beautiful and the CANDLE ugh yes

[@Pammellam]

Wow, that tea at the end, what kind is that? I love you chess set, and the process of making it. So lovely. I am in Japan. The next time I go to Kyoto, I will go to 彩雲堂/Saiundō!

[@Kira-1418]

The handmade chessboard + chess pieces is gorgeous, such a relaxing video! You're so creative!!

[@katenaru]

What an inspiring and aesthetic handmade table game 🥺❤️❤️✨

[@sabrinalefranco]

love playing chess with my dad! just ordered all the materials to make this. thank you!!!!

[@dylanvaughn4990]

To put the pieces together score them and use slip, scoring is cutting that grid shape into then use a water and clay ( slip) to bind them

[@emilygrace3526]

I’m watching this video for probably the fifth or sixth time. But this time, I’m sitting in front of my newly-made tile chess board, sculpting my pieces. I went for completely different designs from you, but I hope you know this video inspired not only making my own set, but also my journey into learning chess. So thank you.

Hey Pear, you don’t understand how much your videos have gotten me through times of stress, and anxiety. Thank you so much for sharing your crafts and such ❤️

[@mariatrapatseli257]

I loved your video, you really tempted me to go make set. Two small comments as I play chess myself: 1) the queen stands on her colour when setting up the pieces, 2) I think it is better if all the tiles are even in height. Many thanks for the video x

Hi I have a few questions I am planning to make this as a gift and I’m also planing to make a ludo set. 1) how thick were the mdf boards 2)is there an alternative for the grout 3) how long did it take for you to make this Thanks soo much I are literally my fave KZbinr and you have also inspired me to do pottery and also watercolour. 🥰🥰🥰

[@Jjealous]

I felt really upset today, so i watched this. It really helped me feel better. Whenever i need to calm down i enjoy your videos a lot; they’re really nice and soothing. Thank you ♥️

[@incensive5020]

i absolutely adore your videos so much. i think the thing i really appreciate the most is your creativity in what you create, and your use of different materials in creative projects. it’s innovative to use these tile samples to create chess sets and in the end it created a really lovely piece and a gorgeous video. :) thank you for doing what you do

[@TeamFish15]

All of your videos are a warm hug to the heart.

[@JaeLim1121]

Excellent! I love it, I especially love that you made the kings and queens slightly different colors and I love your aesthetic. Just some chess related corrections: as shown in the video the board is set up incorrectly, the light square is supposed to be to near the players right hand, as you show it, it is the dark square is in that place - just rotate the board 90 degrees, also the light queen sits on a light square (correctly shown in your video) and the dark queen sits on a dark square. These may seem like small things but it does change the game dramatically when played like this. I'm sure that someone may have mentioned these before so apologies if I am not the first.

[@cloud__]

Your home looks so full of character from the crafts you've made and the aesthetics of the items you own 😍

[@apracity7672]

Great work. I would recommend putting some sort of weight inside of the pieces for a better playing experience (like lead balls). Very beautiful sets

[@Sumi63787]

you can put small metal weights on the bottom of the chess pieces to weigh it down, it's something most chess pieces have.

[@GrungeGranny]

The design of these pieces is absolutely stunning-so simple and clean! I love it!

[@babywarning]

beautiful work! have you ever thought about making resin molds? i think the clay shapes would lend themselves to that great and you could have a harder resin finish if you wanted it.. keep it up!

I never knew I needed this in my life so bad.

[@phosphenevision]

Ooh I wanna make this but with glazed ceramics when I can go back to the studio 🥺

I made a chess set for myself last year and it was such a blast! Though I made my board out of fabric as a travel set, I’d love to make one out of time like you did sometime! It turned out so beautiful!

[@sydney2802]

I love the colors you chose! So soft and yet vibrant at once. I especially love the gorgeous tan-orange you used as a border for the board.

[@gingerthingx]

From your experience, would you recommend glazing dried clay pieces with an Acrylic gloss spray, or a resin/epoxy resin coat? Is there a big difference? Loved the video, thank you for sharing

I can’t help with shapes but to help get everything the same size you could weigh the clay to be the same for each piece
