Ep.13 Did I find my first INAPPROPRIATE pottery mould? 🤭

[@lperwas]

The “fingers” kind of remind me of ghosts like the ghostly trio from Casper the friendly ghost

[@ShelbySherritt]

That is so true! I didn’t see that when I first opened it, I could only see it like an element like a water drop! But that makes such a clear connection! Thank you for pointing that out!

[@valkyriared]

Or maybe pears? Since she mentioned earlier strawberries... Dunno

[@ClaudiaJasalavich]

When you turned the mold so that we could see the faces. I immediately thought it's the other ghosts from Casper the Friendly Ghost.

[@caitlinpenny7412]

I think they are gourds, you know a kind of pumpkin 🎃

[@lauraheyman2011]

[@angelarobertson9521]

Yes bookends!!!

[@dawnchesbro4189]

"Without much ado" or "without further ado" comes from 14th c. English meaning "with little fuss and difficulties, we're going to do X." 'Ado' used to be used instead of 'to do.' So Shakespeare's 'much ado about nothing' is a play where there's a bunch of trivial fuss over misunderstandings and wounded pride where none needed to exist. Oh, and you're using it and pronouncing it correctly Shelby

[@GuanoLad]

I have seen several people confuse it with "adieu" though I don't know what they think French farewells have to do with anything.

[@kympearce8476]

Ado means fuss

[@jennyhonda9642]

The first covered container is designed for scented body powder which was applied with a palm sized fluffy powder puff or bigger, a touch of luxury.

[@ShelbySherritt]

Wow, that sounds really magical and wonderful! I might need to look into that and see how I can incorporate that when I work on that one again!

[@reginadeline3999]

Those "tear drops" are actually Ghost Heads. When I was a child (am now 54), a local home did the ceramic thing, and they had tons of those for Halloween. So many ways to use them! Dolls, Statues, lights, etc.

[@celticphoenix2579]

I'm also guessing the weird "fingers" are gooseneck squash. Because the other similar molds were pumpkins and strawberries, these might be a summer squash in the same family as courgette. Orrrrrr they're creepy sperms

[@erinuber2881]

I agree with you. I was thinking either summer squash (or possibly raindrops, as Shelby suggested).

I thought they were ghost doll heads. Ghosts wouldn’t need hands or feet, so it’s just heads.

If you ever want to feel better about Possums, seriously look up photos of American Opossums. They look like they just walked out of a knock-down, grind your face to the bar, wig yanking fight. They won, but not without physical and emotional scars. 😅

[@ShelbySherritt]

Bahahahha! I mean I love our possums, they have never really done anything to me! One of the locals likes to climb in our power line and rustle in my roof. I think people give them a harsh trot not admiring them as much as our other native species! I almost think it’s because they have similar characteristics to rodents and they get a terrible reputation!

Possums in the US are a different animal than the ones in Australia and they have a WAY worse reputation than yours do. Simply because, to some eyes, they are horribly hideous. But they’re very interesting creatures. The only native North American marsupial, and all but completely immune to rabies. Remember NA brethren, possums are our friends

[@auntielhandmade2099]

I was going to say exactly this

[@theabristlebroom4378]

The North American animals are Opossums.

@@theabristlebroom4378it can be pronounced either way according to the Oxford dictionary

[@Dwynfal]

Yup! Both possums and opossums are are fascinating marsupials but they are quite different beasts! I guess many find the North American opossum ugly but to me they epitomise the saying "Small but fierce", so they are beautiful in their "ugliness". I sure wouldn't want to mess with one! 😂

[@katieburrows7245]

Would the possum sit on a wine bottle? That whole aesthetic was big 15ish years ago (go the bundy bear holding up the bottle)

[@crowdedcar]

My first thought as well. In America we had horses holding the wine 😂😂😂

[@DaughterNature17]

For the first one you could do the pincushion on the bottom of the lid so it closes inside the jar! That way you don’t cover up the floral design. That last one looks more like a lemur to me than a possum. Its’ tail is thick like it would be fluffy.

[@Bel-ro]

Brushtail possums are super common around here, and their tails are floofy floofy 😁

[@spots6450]

Are you thinking about opossums? Australian possums have furred tails - in fact I think that this mould might be for a brush tail possum which have very fluffy tails.

Not sure why, but watching you pour from that 5 gallon bucket into your more manageable plastic container is SO satisfying. No spills just the perfect pour. Were you ever bartender? Those”inappropriate “ faces looked like gourds. If you are unaware, gourds are a plant native to the desert southwest region of the US. They were used extensively by the native people for food, storage containers and even art canvases. They were also used as musical instruments (think maracas).

[@ShelbySherritt]

The 4 heads are ghosts…they would actually have bottoms shaped like a ghostly body for each head. You trim the round piece off the bottom of the heads, and once they are cleaned and fired, stained or glazed, you glue a cork into the head piece that fits down into the body piece

So great to see another video. The face ones I am pretty sure are small gourds. I live in farm country and they are used for decoration with the pumpkins. This mold was designed badly. I think it would have been much better without the faces. Love the box. The piggy is pure gold. Flying pig would be my first try. The possum looks as though it would have a log to attach it to in another mold. That possum does not look like an American one. If there is no mold to look like a log drift wood or petrified wood would make a great platform. Your face when you opened the face mold is a treasure. Keep up the good work. Your videos are the first ones I look for. The ceramic lady.

Opossum, the animal you're talking about is a Opossum, and while it's reputation is negative it is very unearned. They are actually very timid and intelligent animals.

You can slice holes in the lid of the "powder jar" to make it into a potpourri pot, an incense stick holder, a teapot warmer, storing garlic etc. Or cut out a small groove out of the side and lid for a spoon and it's a honey pot, sugar pot etc. Or use it as a sewing kit but with the pincushion on the inside. Super diverse and absolutely lovely!

[@Amarianee]

14:53 They don't exist in the US. You're taking about Possums, we have Opossums (which people often call "possum"). Opposums look completely different, and the only thing the two have in common is that they're both marsupials, but opposums are the only marsupials native to North America. However, ours get a bad rap as well, especially since a lot of people think they carry rabies, which they don't. Raccons are significantly more dangerous and more of a pest than opposums, but since they're cuter, they get a pass. 😩

[@luvshus]

I absolutely adore all of these molds. The ghost heads would be fun in white with pumpkins, witches hats, or Halloween candies scattered all over them. The possum has such a cute face. I picture seeing it holding onto a bottle. The trinket box has soooo many uses. And I LOVE the idea of using the pig as a lamp. Your reactions to seeing the different forms is so much fun to see.

There are a few videos on making a pincushion on KZbin. You can make a small pincushion that is daisy shape for the lid. If you place a magnet on the lid and a magnet on the bottom of the pincushion, you could remove the pincushion and put it somewhere else. Like on the side of your sewing machine. If you can find one of those metal slap on bracelets, you could then put the pincushion on that.

The randomness of things getting smashed or not is half the fun. I love that we got a different result than the norm cuz it's usually 50/50.

So maybe ask the assistants to surprise us all as they can decide if there will be probably cast again or out right smashes.

For the powder box, could you trim or sand the design off until it's just a smooth surface? That would seem to be more your vibe. I also know you had a video on making a mold, so maybe this would be a good example for that. I'm suggesting this because I truly ADORE the shape of the box, and feel it would be beautiful with your style of design on it. As another commenter said, you could add a little bee on top, or really, any of your minature pieces, and then match the body to the theme of the lid. Maybe a bee on top, with a honeycomb pattern and some painted florals and bees on the base. What about a tiny frog and a matching pond scene? A seashell and an ocean theme? As you can see, I'm extremely inspired by this piece. I hope you are too!!

The first dish might be a butter bowl/bell. Cut the lid long with the sides on it so the lid closes and nearly touches the bottom. Fill the top with room temp butter and add water to the bottom. I fill mine about 1/3 then put the lid on while at the sink. Keep on the table out of direct sunlight and change water daily. The water makes an "air lock" to keep it fresh! Hoping this mold is a butter bowl! Very fun episode today. I always enjoy them.

I support the sewing kit idea!!! It also reminds me of a jar where my granda used to store candy!

With the first one you could also add a butterfly to the top With the possum you could add a real branch at the end

I love that pig! I definitely had a pig of that shape on my shelf as a kid in the late 80s/ early 90s❤

The possum reminded me of Hush from Possum Magic which was one of my favourite story books as a kid!!
