The Kids Book that STARTED My CAREER

[@ksen1011]

I saw the book in the thumbnail and squealed! I STILL HAVE THIS BOOK!! I absolutely loved just looking through it as a kid and even more so as a burnt out adult 😅

[@caryscuttlefish]

YESSSS! I wonder how many other grown ups loved this book TOOOO!

[@dawnthegoblin]

I also still have this book!!

[@Chu_Nyanning]

My inner child is screaming that she wants those hair pins because of the strawberry shortcake vibes they give off.. also I’d name the finger puppet Hagrid..

[@FanficLoverBoii]

That's Hagrid if he turned into a potato bean 😂😂😂

[@mariclements]

Carys would you be open to doing a part 2? 💖 This is absolutely glorious and so healing 😭. I'm gonna need to do something similar with a Lego catalog I poured & poured over as a kid

[@crystalpolice]

OMG! I had that book, too! I remember both my mom and I making the melting snowman. Memories!

[@PonyKrystal]

I fulfilled a childhood dream the other day. I got the purple unicorn plush on a twist pop, that I always wanted but couldn't get when I was young.

[@kaeciray]

I pined for that book when I was younger but, sadly, never was able to get it ]: I would sit on the floor and look through it every time I went to the bookstore, while my mom was shopping. “One day… One day You will sculpt, and no one can stop You!” That resonated tremendously 🌈🤍

[@Your.local.starry]

10:53 that laugh is everything

[@Aries-ku8uk]

I fully agree. Just doing something you enjoyed/wanted to do as a child now as an adult, is the best thing imaginable. It gives you a feeling of nostalgia/satisfaction/pure joy. I remember volunteering at the zoo and I helped out with the kids summer camp one of the days, I was in charge of helping keep an eye on a bunch of first graders (7-8 year olds). In that day, the activities were riding the water ride with the dinosaurs, and going on the carousel. The sheer JOY the carousel inspired in me. Just thinking about it now brings tears to my eyes

[@RB-vo4gi]

I absolutely ADORE miniature polymer clay food. I’m obsessed and I have no idea why.

[@panbeanweirdo1157]

Omg I remember this book I was a little dummy with dyslexia so I couldn't read it but I liked looking at the pictures and using the little landscapes they had as playmates

[@Goofy-goober_the-goofiest]

AAAAAAHHHHH NO WAY IM TGE FIRST PERSON HERE I LOVE YOU, YOUR MY INSPIRATION AND MY FAVORITE CRAFTER :)

[@caryscuttlefish]

Awww thanks so much for the kind words. I hope you have a wonderful day ❤

[@Hauntedcottagecore]

I had this book too holy cow!!! I did the same thing you did cause I got it from the library! I just sat and read it. 😂❤

[@caryscuttlefish]

RIGHT!!!? So many DREAMS!! Now they’ve been realized!!

[@pinkyysk]

Nail polish also reacts oddly and goes sticky after time. The flowers in the strawberries look like hoya flowers and are amazing I had a cake decorating book which I looked at all the time. It was more icing tips and plastic figures. I was obsessed with that book and I have no idea what happened to it but I am assuming my poor mum binned it so she didn't have to be shown so much random crap all the time. Great video have fun

[@its.me.8]

This video brought me so much joy. As adults we absolutely should nourish those little things we missed as little ones. Harry is awesome, very grateful you were feeling brave during the edit 😂

[@potatoryaan]

It makes me so happy to see your so excited and happy over your Childhood book🥹

[@victoriancuddler]

8:55 As someone who grew up obsessed with Judo but only been recently able to do it as an adult I feel this a lot. Esp around people a decade my junior who are teenagers and able to grow up doing the sports that they like. Really makes you emotional outta nowhere. ❤

[@The_Glorious_Goat]

I remember this book! I remember being so OBSESSED with the mini foods in it. I think my parents may atill have the tiny clay wizard surrounded by the foods I made from this book when I was in...middle school, maybe? What a delightful blast from the past!

[@winxclubfangirl5227]

Mini pies are adorable ❤❤❤

[@caryscuttlefish]

They were so fun to make!!

[@winxclubfangirl5227]

For next mini clay creations I think you should do Halloween charms

[@ruthiewitter569]

“Don’t be afraid to do the things you wanted to as a kid but couldn’t, especially if they’re wholesome, and don’t let anyone make you feel silly for doing it.” I needed to hear that today, so, so badly. Your channel is low key changing my life, I think. Thank you. Thank you so much. And yes I had this book as a kid 😄 I’m still sculpting clay to this day, but there are a lot of unfinished dreams tucked between those pages for me, too!!

[@viiranen]

"i was once a child" :o audible gasp. say it aint so ms artist!

[@crimsontaki3012]

now I imagine you making the same hair clip but with different fruits and even veggies, could even do a mixed fruit one. Dessert clips!

[@caryscuttlefish]

THE ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES! Honestly I want to make a bunch of these for every day wear!!

[@ithadtobeleyledy]

I actually got very stuck trying to do a pie for something I’m making and this just helped me so much. Thank you for sharing!! Definitely got me inspired to make some clay art 😌

[@msmteacher]

This video is pure unadulterated sunshine, lollipops, and not acting your age! Bravo! Bravo! 🎉🎉

[@RubyDreamer24]

Hey love your videos! when it came down to the veggies, I had a random thought, what if you used the boxes of scrap clay, to make forever fruits/veggies, to use the mouths, eyes an noses on. so you can display them, an they will never go bad like real ones.

[@SavanasClayCreations]

I LOVED this book! It was my first introduction to Polymer Clay and I still have it! What a throwback! Thanks for revisiting this book and bringing back so many wonderful memories!!! ❤❤❤

[@_sophie-]

Carys I recently discovered your channel thanks to shorts and im obsessed with your art!! Very thankful for the algorithm showing me your channel 🥺

[@Wyldthorn]

You excitement made me smile. Was a good pick me up for the end of my day to watch this.

[@AmberSteele-u6c]

Don’t get me wrong…I love everything that you do…but this has to be my favorite video. It was great seeing you have so much fun and everything looks awesome. The fruit and vegetables faces are amazing!

[@Violetgregoire]

You’ve helped me through lots please keep being you madam

[@summerholt112]

These diy faces on food are amazing!!! What!?!? Like wow!

[@petabaigent]

This video is so joyful! It reminds me of the Australian Womens Weekly cake book that every 80s kid loved and bought as adults to make their favourite for their own kids! My sister made the same cake for my twins that my mum had made for my twin sisters birthday and it was THE COOLEST THING EVER!

[@bradstreet222]

I recently rebought a strawberry shortcake craft book from my childhood that I never had the opportunity to make things from…. I’m now motivated to try to make some of the things!!!

[@Songal18]

Snakey Cherry Pie is a MUST!! These were so cute, I'm so happy you finally achieved this childhood dream.

[@allaboutdolls1238]

Oh my goodness I love how wholesome this is!!! Makes me want to visit my old craft book 😅

[@jennyhignite4288]

I just loved this❣️❣️❣️ wishing for more. It made my heart so happy to watch you being so happy!!! Thank you ❤

[@jaynedavis3388]

I’m so happy for you Carys ❤

[@greenbeantm1096]

1:11 I think my family has this book, either that or I used to look at it like all the time at the local bookstore or library as a kid, because that melted snowman just unlocked a memory I didn’t know I had 😂

[@evelyn8102]

I want a Harry worry warts now!!! He's so cute and I'd feel so much less crazy talking nicely to myself

[@nicolelavigne1700]

I did not own that book as a kid but I have been SO tempted to buy it many times as adult (and you’re making me more tempted). I have the klutz nail art book still.

[@father_mae_i]

Yayayayay clay origins!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@mama7andusmakez9]

Thank you so much for sharing! I am so excited to let my inner child free ❤❤❤

[@aliciagarcia5327]

Such a fun walk down memory lane. I loved this video so much. 100000/10

AAAAAAAAAAAH YESSSSSSSSS BEST CLAY BOOK EVER I did so many of the little projects in that book!

Love your thoughtful and kind comment ❤❤❤❤

[@Chopscrochet23]

@@caryscuttlefish it’s fine you deserve sooo much more

[@anat.heistart]

Your videos feel so wholesome

[@WolverineWitch]

I had this books as a kid! I remember my mom and I making the melted snowman, the pies, the hairy harry (although without a garlic press so he was... different lol), and the little berries and corn and stuff. I also remember we ended up accidentally burning the clay a lot, which is part of why I now prefer air dry 😆

[@rabiataylor5157]

This video is so cute I'm so happy you got to make stuff in your book

[@moonstar_draws6283]

You should totally make worry worts(idk if I spelled that right lol) that just go on your finger like Harry! Because sometimes it’s just so comforting to put things on your finger. I want a cute themed animal on my finger!!

[@Chopscrochet23]

You’re amazing

[@caryscuttlefish]

Thanks so much ❤❤❤❤ I hope you have a lovely day

[@retr0robbin]

I recently bought a book from my childhood. I can relate to wanting to hug the book once it arrives.

[@daughterofabadman]

This reminds me of when I was a kid and found books on how to do magic tricks in my local library. I was obsessed, learned a bunch of them and even put magic shows on at school.

[@SugaredEdits]

I REMEMBER THIS BOOK…I would look through the book all the time, I wasn’t great at it but I wonder if this is where my love of clay and craft came from

[@bizarrebotanicals7723]

Awwwww I think I am a little older than you but I totally had this book as a young adult and loved it for the food! I am so happy you did this!

[@kibbyanimates6251]

Oh I remember that book. I've got to see if it's still at my parents place or if it got lost in the move out purge.

[@dragon9261]

please moooreee!!! this was soooo cute!!!

[@Animeloversplace]

I love your videos!! they always calm me down :D i smile whenever i see you post :)))

Thank you for making me smile and laugh :)

[@thelonleyUchiha1]

This reminds me of a Barbie cookbook I used to barrow from my elementary school library all the time and I’d read it with my dad all the time (we only made like one recipe) and when I saw it online years later I cried

[@SkylaWheeler]

You should make a whole collection of baked goods of like pastries or something for your Worry Warts! I feel like that would be an amazing idea for a video!

[@melmanhattan]

I remember that book!!! Ps i am gonna need you to wear those clips as much as possible!❤

[@leekelly2142]

You are incredible ❤

Thank you! You’re so sweet!!

Hey Carys! If you're not keen with putting Harry on your finger, maybe he wants to be a pencil or marker topper. Thanks for the fun! 😀

One of the cool things about being an adult is getting to try all the cool crafts I wanted to as a kid but was told no… truth is, my mom was right, it was expensive! I still enjoy it nonetheless!
