What is inside this Vintage Pottery Mould? Mould 68

[@user-tz6gu5vj4m]

Loved the quiet bit of just painting in the middle - Like you were being the Nana & putting a video on for us mid visit ☺️

[@me1123581321]

Okay, but these are THE CUTEST friends in existence???? SO GOOD!!

[@munchie8485]

Care bear belly symbols are known as belly badges 🥰 I love Care Bears and I was hoping you would do Bedtime Bear as he is my favourite but these are a really nice twist

[@BuNiJoLo]

Yay! I can here just to comment lol My fave is Secret Bear and they are so impossible to find!

[@gardeninggamergirl7761]

I literally came here to say "belly badges"!

[@judithburke1539]

Those little bears are so very cute and so are their honey pots! These are winners!

[@RijackiTorment]

These little bears are fabulous. I love your additions of Australian flora.

[@CricketsBay]

So cute. I luv the native flowers theme.

[@binary_terror2]

I like that they’re Care Bears-inspired but not copies. Your designs are so nice.

[@Lambcat777]

If you poke a hole in the paw of the bear that's up, when the clay is still fresh you could use them as a incense holder or a flower holder. I really dig your videos they are always a highlight of my day. 🧸

[@jpendowski7503]

Another video that allows your enthusiasm to shine through. The motif bears echo the design with out copying the trademark. Your colors and flowers match well and the sets are so adorable. No honey needed since you changed the illustration on the pots. Cheers Shelby💜.

[@thepurpledusk3381]

What a fabulous fusion between your native flora art and the carebear concept. Absolutely adorable and beautiful.

[@MabruBlack]

I love this idea! The flowers make it seem like the honey is made with the pollen of the flowers featured on each pot/bear, which isn’t uncommon for honey since some producers will put the bees in specific places so that the honey will have a particular scent, like eucalyptus, a local flower, wildflowers, aromatic plants, etc. Like others suggested, I’d make an incense holder with this one, even combining it with the idea of the previous incense holders you made. The hands could hold sticks, and you could make a hole in the back of the bear for the cones, so it works for both types of incense.

[@AmyLou__]

These are absolutely delightful! I love your choice to add native flowers for the bellies - it definitely makes it feel like you rather than just a care bear copy!

[@S1ckbassplayer]

That was a really lovely story that you told about being a child and remionising about your grandmother. My family scattered our grandmothers ashes today, and hearing your story helped bring back a whole bunch on memories that were laying dormant for a long time. It was really nice to have those memories come flooding back because of the things you said. Thank you for telling your story and bringing back so many good times that I had when I was a kid.

[@juliefearnside3104]

These are too cute. Love Care Bears! Fab as always x

[@yvonnetuakoi4271]

These bears are THE cutest thing EVER ! I just love them you are so creative ! I’m addicted to your video s and click so quickly when one pops up !

[@wagherbert]

So charming! Love the Aussie flora detail !

[@newfiegal7842]

So much work condensed into a short video! As someone who doesn’t do pottery it’s easy to not think about the time and care that goes into the items you create. The reminder/information is eye opening. ❤️

[@FlowerFaerieLottie]

You could add gold luster as the honey drops!

[@StetStudio]

This is an amazing way to take on the carebear theme while still making it your own. They turned out so lovely. Thank you for sharing these every week. It really is something I look forward to.

[@SadMangaGirl]

I loved going to my grandparents house. My Nanna taught me so much and so did my grandad. Plus they lived in the bush which is my favourite place. Sadly neither are with us any more. Care Bears are awesome. Loved watching them as a kid.

[@bbmeltdown2665]

What a lovely idea for these bears! I smiled through the whole episode. Looking at another comment, I wonder if a small stick light would work for a soft glow of a nightlight. Lil comfy Aussie flower bears. Aww. Grats on your hard work!

[@kendallnorton2017]

These may be my favorite things you’ve ever made! My mom used to collect bears and these are definitely something she would have picked up! I love them! 🥰

[@angelap4882]

do the honey drips with gold luster like u ahve done as an addition and an extra firing before...?

[@mouse589c5]

This was so zen to watch. Love hearing the story about your Nanna. I too wish I could go back and spend time with my grandparents. I loved spending time with them, but I want to appreciate it more for how short the time was. When you're little, you don't appreciate the transience of time, and how it limits these opportunities....

[@melindavalis6531]

Wow, these are gorgeous and I love the Aussie spin you put on their bellies! Our daughters Cheer Bear is 18 years old now and still loved xo

[@maxsmommy1500]

This mold just perfectly matched your personality I love the colors but the bears with the sunshine warm Happy feelings and then the Australian Flora painted on them it just matched your personality at least to me love it

[@paranoiarpincess]

Ok, so now that I'm seeing the final results, I was absolutely right. These aren't only amazing, they're by far my favourite thing I've seen you make. Leagues and leagues above everything else, and I already really loved your work. I think it's amazing and SO inspiring that you did native flora that I want to draw Care Bears with my country's native flora and some fauna. I live in Canada, and most of all, despite orange being my least favourite colour, I want to make a monarch butterfly themed Care Bear! Edit: OOOH! And my province's flower, a trillium care bear would be beautiful! I would make it an all white bear, but have the fur just a slightly different shade of white. For example, I would shade the stomach with a very light yellow, but make the fur shading a light blue. Then put the beautiful trillium in the center. Oh man I want to do this so badly now!

[@hannahs1119]

Shelby these are so cute! Once you said your concept I was super tempted to skip to the end to see the end result (I love watching the whole process I'm just impatient).

[@stephanieruggles7783]

At first I immediately thought if Pooh the bear. The blue bear reminds me of my childhood bear. It was a giant for me when I was a toddler, so I always snuggled in his arms. It was a present from my uncle. He shot it at a booth at the local fair. So thank you for bringing back those childhood memories. I also would have expected a bee on the top of each honey pot. But they are still pretty the way you made them. Seeing you hands with the roughened skin by the clay makes me want to send you some of my home made hand cream with herbal extracts. Unfortunately the German customs regulations do not allow me to send anything of herbal origin outside of Germany.

[@MsMuppet1985]

I love them. I wonder if there are month associations for flowers? Would be so fun to have one representing each month of the year like birthstones!

[@judithburke1539]

The bears could be made in the birthstone colors as well 😊.

[@i8jaffas]

I would 100% buy this entire set, they are so well done and a unique twist on the Care Bear idea while still being very Aussie. I hope to somehow purchase at least one set!!

[@twistedmyth5860]

Ooo! These look very cute. You did a good job painting them. Also, I totally get you on having to carve into a clay because it's fully cured/dried. Made that mistake while sculpting and realized I forgot to sculpt the details on one. Got to have fun doing that.

[@paranoiarpincess]

If you make more of these, instead of making it honey, you could always make a floral jelly. I'm not sure if that's a real thing, but I do knownyou have musk flavoured sweets in Australia that have a kind of floral taste to them, and there are lots of rose and other flower petal delicacies available. I know people also consume lavender. So I think if you were to make a fictional jam from the flower on their tummies (like bluebell jam, just paint it a bit of a lighter blue from the one you used for the flower itself) it would tie into the theme, be relevant to the bear instead of just everyone having honey for some reason, and it would look nice because it's still part of their individual colour stories. ♡

[@CricketsBay]

Violet Jam is a thing. I've seen Rose Jam made as well. Oh, that is such a great theme.

[@judithburke1539]

I've seen jelly made with violets that is a lovely lavender color. Bluebells might be poisonous though.😮

[@babulisku]

These are so cute! Thank your for your hard work posting the extended version of the videos as well

[@francesarhipoff2864]

These are gorgeous bears and being a fellow Aussie, the native flora is stunning

[@Ylime00120]

Eeeeee these are wonderful!!! Love how you incorporated native florals. A full rainbow of bears would be so fun! And next week's mould looks intriguing 🤩

[@rambaby23]

Love these Shelby, and love how you developed the care bear idea! Don't think the honey drips distract from the design, and unless you hadn't said they wouldn't be that noticeable! Great idea with so much design scope! Another hit! Well done xx

[@emilyflavell1658]

These are absolutely the most precious lil bears! I love the colour scheme, and their little pots!!

[@ambermorton7599]

So so true what you said about the peacefulness of being at your grandparents' house growing up! The movie we watched on repeat what The Jungle Book. Makes me miss my grandparents. Love the design!

[@jennifergallant5174]

Care Bears are such a special part of my childhood and I was really excited to see the finished product. I would still love to see the original belly badges! My favorite video so far ❤

[@hlhs42]

I love these bears! As a mom, this took me back to my daughter's childhood. She loved the care bears & had so many. Even her third grade English (reading & writing) teacher had a collection in the classroom for the kids during reading time. I also really like your selection of music. It was so peaceful watching & listening.

[@MadJenno]

I look forward to your mystery drops every week. Thanks for another intriguing episode ❤️

[@alekszglinska5615]

I just love the little thoughts you share whilst exploring these pieces! ❤️

[@amelialewis8069]

These are so cute and perfect I want to cry. I'm so happy I found your channel!!

[@Salbei17]

I found your account through this series a few days ago, have now binge watched them all and behold! A new video! Yay!

[@sapphicalix]

I love them so much!!! They’re so cute 😭 All of your work is just so beautiful!! Your studio’s vibes always make me feel so cozy and warm. I look forward to these videos every week and I love your work so much. Thank you for another wonderful video. Thank you so much for sharing your work with us :) 💛💛💛

[@leannwhite620]

These are adorable! I have another idea you might like. Paint the bears floral and make a nectar pot. I like your floral glazings the most. YEHAW! Go bears!

[@erinb4680]

These are adorable, I love the little heart noses! I think the blue is my favourite. What a beautiful kiln load too, so many lovely things in there.

[@cherylburkitt9722]

Adorable..I love the way you painted them..so cute ☺️🥰💖

[@doctorwho5012]

such a beautiful set! they look so cute all together with their little jars!!

[@JessieG15]

I love your colors and belly badges! You always make my Fridays better!

[@abberkadabber5562]

I love these! Nostalgic with a fresh twist

[@kathoakes929]

Shelby these are so beautiful and cute.

[@erikaf4259]

All the details make these pieces perfect ❤ great job

[@maramakesjournals2319]

They’re really cute with the Australian flora badges. Love the little pot. I love miniature anything. I’m hoping you find a mold for a miniature plate. They’d be either collector plates or butter pat plates. By the bye, a group of bears is called a sleuth or a sloth. Polar bear groups are celebrations. My daughter was in college during the Care Bear era, so I’m glad to read the comments for context. A sloth of Care Bears? I looked up Grevillea which didn’t take long tho I misspelled it. Gorgeous with the exotic look of Australia. It would be really terrific if you could show us the actual blooms. Someday. I ❤️ 💐.

[@GirlyGirl406]

I can’t believe we are up to 68! I remember finding you on IG at reveal 6! These are so enjoyable.

[@christyrapaich9882]

I had a large number of these ceramic statues, or they were in my family (the mushroom salt and pepper shakers). Theselittle bears had the pots on top of their leg with the up arm near the lid. You would have to slip and score it prior to firing to make it this way. I love these native bears and flower pots.

[@Alisha_79]

I can see a wall full of those bears in my house! That unique twist makes them extra special. I do agree the honey may have added a bit more to the pot, but them matching is the best idea ever.😍❤

[@mpblack2127]

These are adorable! You did an amazing job!

[@morgonerlenstar]

I’m loving those little pots 💕

[@paulinegrant4081]

So cute, love them, adore the little jars - and your sunflowers are beautiful!

[@ShannonDagher]

Precious! You should add these to your permanent shop lineup. They’re so on-brand for you! 😍

[@cortneyfoskey4474]

I love this idea and the Australian twist you took for them!! 😀 They are so cute! The Care Bears mean so much to me!!

[@CmdrButtercake]

I love the native florals! I'm also particularly fond of grevillias since we had one in our garden when I was a kid. I loved watching the birds in the tree, but I would also eat the nectar off the flowers myself lol. I also think a red bear with a kangaroo paw print would be gorgeous.

[@leafyswords]

The little pots 😭💕💙 adorableeeee

[@TishnBee]

I adore these! You could always go back in and do gold luster to bring that honey detail out!

[@amberrider7275]

These turned out sooooo cute!!!! I love them!

[@sbaldeosingh28]

It's called a belly badge.. and the 'care bear stare' is absolutely adorable

[@belindawallace5203]

The bears are so cute 🥰 I love the way you took the care bear idea and made it your own.

[@nickys16sqm]

These look so gorgeous!

[@ragdollrose2687]

This mould has a lot of potential for so many themes! The yellow one is my favorite also 😊

[@Rae-Nbow]

Sat watching this with my 34 year old Cheer Bear Care Bear, love these so much!

[@emmshelley]

They are so adorable!!!

[@briannacarlson4283]

I love these! They’re a new favorite.

[@devildoll641]

These turned out so nice. Great job!

[@Lyleamarie]

Awww, these came out adorable!!!

[@meadowsz5390]

These are so lovely! I love the mold and your choice to do native flower care bears with them!

[@paranoiarpincess]

I love this video so much. I'm not only a massive retrophile, I was born in the early 90s so I saw all the Care Bear shows, along with My Little Pony, and Rainbow Brite. I have a bit of an obsession with nostalgia so I actually collect toys from these franchises to this day! I actually have both old and more recent items from all three franchises as we speak. Another reason I absolutely LOVE this video is because you talking about going to your grandmother's house sparked a memory I randomly am hit with sometimes, that I hadn't been in a few years now. Another massive franchise when I was little was the Disney babies series. It was baby versions of Mickey, Minnie, and all of their friends. I wasn't the biggest fan of the Disney mascot characters, not like I was of the aforementioned big 3, but I did love the baby series decently well. I remember I had a small child puzzle (not the wooden ones, but the ones with the massive cardboard pieces that only took around 30 to complete the image) of the Disney babies at my grandparents house and would do it over and over. I am pretty sure I did so in front of the TV. So thank you for this. ♡ I'm not even halfway through the video but I can already tell they're going to be amazing!

[@MynnKitchen]

I love these sweet bears! They’re adorable! ♥️

[@andreageorge1404]

Your Gravillia flowers are so lovely.

[@nariu7times328]

such a cute adaptation with our own personal touch!

[@ayarosen1035]

Those look so good! I love how they came out!

[@AdirondackRuby]

How absolutely adorable! A very Shelby twist in the Care Bears. I had a few Care Bear plushies as a kid. My brother has a Care Bear sleeping bag even...which, looking back on, is totally not safe. Companies & Governments didn't care as much about fire safety and flammability when we were kids. I swear just looking at it wrong will back it spontaneously combust! Also really love the sunflower mugs you had going in the kiln with the bears. Lovely!

[@AlbredaWelde]

Oh, such a classic piece! You can do so much with them and the design will age well! I love the wildflower designs on their belly badges. I know these won't last in your store. Great job! The next mold looks like some sort of a jar with a lid or a pedestal.

[@johughes2331]

These are adorable 🥰

[@hannahgriffiths9908]

That blue and green/Aqua one 💕😍😍💕 I'd love those for my nursery! Hopefully I'm quick enough on shop day

[@SauronsAccntnt]

You're a delight, and so talented! Glad I found your channel. (And hello from CA!)

[@tinnedrat]

the green bear!!!!! the green bear is my absolute favorite though i will say that i adore every single bear and jar for their own reasons

[@valeriebigley8759]

So cute. I think I would but a bee on the tummy and leave the word honey on the pot. ❤

[@arohalight3670]

Smart about the dust good advice !!😍and super cute

[@Nanenna]

They're so adorable! The pastel colors with sweet flower bellies were the perfect choice. If you ever decide to try a "realistic teddy bear" look that'd be adorable too, but real teddy bears can also be sweet pastels.

[@darlouthia5153]

Just delightful !!

[@tanyahouston5635]

Nice bears! I too like this mold, bear design.

[@minarooda]

Love these so much!!!! 🐻💗💐

[@user-kt3zv1cm5j]

These really came out just perfect 💕

[@louiseeldred8504]

You could do them as birthday bears as in painting the month flower on their bellies and paint them the gem stone colour xxx Absolutely gorgeous

[@siredgar7336]

Now I need to call my gran :)

[@thepurpledusk3381]

Make the most of it. I lost my last grandparent last spring and I really, really wish I could call her too.
