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]

[@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 ❤

[@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).

[@prachigalange]

Ugh, pearfleur's aesthetic is to die for!

[@Azrealsantis]

Right!

[@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

[@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. ♥️

[@bethanymcguckin5590]

this is so beautiful! i think i’m going to try and make my own as a gift for my best friend

[@kateselvitelli2389]

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

[@jpsifamily8060]

Honestly that’s a good pun-

[@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)

[@Ophelia9256]

This is the most aesthetic chess set ever! Never thought about making the board out of bathroom tiles… Just think of all the other pretty colour combinations that you could make!

[@MminaMaclang]

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.

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!

[@melt_brain]

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.

[@aaliyadenisersullano7753]

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

[@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!

[@Namse21]

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

[@Kira-1418]

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

[@rjvnz]

This is INSANELY beautiful!!! The amount of love and labor that went into it! And captured beautifully as well. Loved every bit of it. One of my fav DIYs on KZbin ever

[@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.

[@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

[@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

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

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
