Hello! I’m not ending the mystery moulds! Just a dramatic title to express my love for finally finding my dream moulds 😂 There’s a sneak peak for the next video at the end of this one as proof 😅
My toddler saw me watching your videos while I was cross stitching. She cuddled up and watched several episodes. This morning she came to me and asked to watch the "Pottery Lady". Thank you for making content that can be shared with my whole family. Each of my girls are creative in their own way, one in art, one in sewing, and another in building. I look forward to seeing what the youngest will be creative in. Maybe it will be pottery :)
You can reduce a lot of the dribble with careful trimming of the spout. A thinner, sharp edge at the very tip of the lid helps "cut" the water flow so a bead doesn't form and then drip.
YES! Exactly what I was coming to say. Shelby, watch some wheel throwing potters on TH-cam make some spouts and how they talk about how the edge of the tip of the spout has to have a sharp cut. Right now, there is a millimeter of thickness at the front edge. This causes the water to stick and dribble.
I was thinking the same thing. I’m a thrower and teapots are a favorite of mine. When I saw the spout I thought “it needs to be thinner and sharper at the pouring end. I’ve also added a little ‘tongue’ just below the spout end which catches the drip and sends it into the cup instead of down the spout.
I love this teapot! Yes, I would love to see a tea set made with this. It would be pretty painted in the colors of river pebbles too. They are all different colors.
I would love to see one of these teapots for every season choosing a color palette that would suit the seasons. The picture in my mind is adorable! My little one and I watch your channel together and we just adore it. ❤
The height of the spout mostly means that you can fill the teapot completely (you can’t fill a teapot or watering can higher than the level of the spout because the liquid inside will just flow out). How it pours is more about the shape of the “rim” of the spout than the level.
Yes, please, make the tea set with this teapot. 🥺 I'd love to see it and it can go so many different ways. As for childhood nightmares, for me it's the Moomins. When I was little it was a good night cartoon. I was so scared I'd rather skip it than watch it.
The pot spout dribbles because of the shape of the edge of it. It needs to have a pointed spot where the liquid pours over. The edge cannot be that wide either. Picture more of a v shape rather than a U shape.
I love this series. The expression on your face was priceless! For me the trauma was from Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH! I read the books and watched the animated film as a kid and I have had a fear of rats ever since!
The dark crystal always scared the heck out of me when I was a kid, and would probably still scare me now 😂 the main characters were too uncanny for me, and when the bird guy melted it haunted my nightmares haha
I just wrote a comment about my mother thinking it was a great idea to show my kids at age 3 & 4 that movie. It pretty much traumatized them and as adults my one daughter is still freaked out by puppets, marionettes, and animatronics.
My grandmother was a slipcaster but I fell in love with throwing and hand building. Watching you makes me feel closer to her somehow. Also, love your editing, need to up my editing skills for my channel.
Yes please make a cute tea set to go with the tea pot. Love how you added a mushroom to the lid. Maybe a future one you could add tiny cute mushrooms among the grass around the cottage. 🍄 ❤️
When I was a baby my parents took me to Jurassic Park, when the T-Rex yelled I LOST IT!!! Soon after they took me to the museum and taught me about dinosaurs and fell in love with them~! Love from Oregon!!!
I hid under the theater seat most of that movie when I was little. I had nightmares about dinosaurs for years after that. As an adult I love those movies and have not had a dinosaur nightmare in a long time.
I was two years old when that movie came out and my family had rented it out to watch it. I had been put down in my bed. I did not stay there. When the t rex ate the lawyer , they realized I was there because I burst out laughing. 😂 Still actually adore the movies. Edit spelling mistakes
The mushroom handle was genius. The teapot wouldn’t dribble if you had shaved the spout tip so it is thinner and sharp edged to ‘cut’ the stream of liquid as you tip back. The Hobbit is nice to read or listen to as an audio book. No jump scare that way.
In the 1970s in the United States there were a lot of ceramic shops where people could go every week and paint in the next week and to it like if we were having a piece fired to stain instead of glaze it and it was so much fun and I did I made so many wonderful things and then kind of died off and I wish it was around I miss it. You bring back fond memories. I love watching your videos.
I've said this before, but your mystery molds helped me through the worst mental health crisis of my life. I hope you never stop surprising us with your work. ❤❤❤❤
I am missing your content a lot. You are a bright ray of sunshine that brightens my day when you post. I hope you will find time to make full videos again soon.
I got a huge fright going through a car wash as a toddler. I still remember it vividly and have never gone through one since. So not a film or book but definitely long-lasting!
The teapot is so adorable 😍😍😍😍 but the roof reminds me of ginko leaves! And in the fall, they turn a vibrant yellow! All the ❤ from Pittsburgh, PA USA!!!
Hey, Shelby! Fun video and I love the tea pot! My late sister gifted me a one person tea pot/cup for Christmas a few years back. She said it reminded her of something a Hobbit would have. She was the one who turned me onto the books and I've read the LORT and Hobbit nearly every year since So roughly 56 time!! I love your videos and wish I lived closer so I could make something at your shop. But we're on the other side of the world from each other. 😘💚
I was sceptical about the mushroom. I stand corrected. This is MY FAVOURITE TEAPOT EVER!!!❤ Also I'm pretty sure we saw the same Hobbit play 😂. The puppets were wild!! I think it did the rounds of all of Australia.
I would buy the teapot in a heartbeat ❤ lol its gorgeous. Brought back memories of me and my grandma having afternoon tea as a child. We both traveled to many countries and this was one of the traditions we picked up and loved to do together. She would make us tea biscuits and scones to have as well. I have two other teapots now a patient gave me years ago and that one would be a beautiful addition. I have a butterfly and a bird for handles on my two. Tea cups shaped like flowers go with the butterfly and two traditional porcelain to go with bird 😊ty for invoking my lovely memories
Hi Shelby. I also am a potter and I read somewhere that putting a little LINISHING COMPOUND under the lip of the spout should stop the drip. LINISHING compound is used by metal workers to get a high polish. Hope this helps, Barbara
So, so cute! The colors are not "grungy" at all! The blue stones worked better than I thought it would! For me, would have tried to paint each stone a different color grey then put a dark grey wash over all. Changing out the little handle on the lid was smart. I think an acorn would be cute if you had a mold the Igor size. I understand your excitement when you opened it!
I love the customization with the mushroom handle--would be nice to add a few smaller mushrooms around the base. With the talk about The Hobbit, I was thinking it would be very cool to retrofit a round hobbit-hole door (but that's a BIG change!)
I vividly remember visiting my aunt's house with my mom when I was a little kid and we watch the movie Labyrinth and it terrified me. Now as an adult I love it❤
That’s fantastic - replacing the handle on the lid was a brilliant idea, the mushroom looks so good. A whole set would is a great idea, just about any of your cottage type cups would work in the same colour scheme.
80s movies were absolutely wild. The Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, ET, The Neverending Story etc. I think the feel of those was also part of the inspo for Stranger Things.
@@niagara6015 That scene in the back of the house at night where Elliott shines his flashlight onto E.T.'s face and it lets out an otherworldly scream. Ugh...[shudder]
Oh my word! What a stunning job you did on the teapot!! And I love that, not only did you step outside of your norm to make it a bit grungy ( which is GORGEOUSLY DONE, btw), but you also added your own pastel style to the window! I love that! And the grunge really makes your pastel window just pop beautifully! What a beautiful job you did! I would LOVE to see you make a whole set like this! It’s absolutely stunning!
I didn't watch The Prince of Egypt until I was 26- that might not seem like a big deal but as a Christian kid, there weren't a lot of movies to show us during Sunday school holidays, and the Prince of Egypt was a major part of ALL my friends childhoods. I just couldn't get past the start, it's full on!
I haven't seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series because I was almost kidnapped by pirates at age 3. We have a July 4th parade on Main Street every year in my hometown (which is a suburb of Seattle) My dad was an employee of a paint company that was also on Main St, so he drove a company van in the parade, with my sister and I dressed in paint coveralls and company hats. The parade also had the Seafair Pirates from the annual Seafair Days Festival in Seattle, on their pirate ship, with their guns blasting SO LOUD, and the pirates running into the crowd to "scare" the kids and throw candy. Well, one of these pirates pretended to kidnap 3 years old me from the paint van, and it scared me to pieces! Luckily, we also lived further up Main St, so my mom was able to walk us home the 10 blocks or so to our house. Most years after that (until we were older, that is) we just watched the parade from our front yard, as all those in the parade lined up prior to and in front of our house before the parade began... minus the Seafair Pirates, that is, since their massive ship met the parade further along the route. Most of the floats and those in the parade would throw candy to us in our yard, and we didn't even have to run into the street and fight a bunch of other kids for it! 🍬🍭 One of the perks of cheering for those in the parade before it even began. Plus, my parents didn't have to walk 2 small children 10 blocks while fighting other attendees and the chairs and other items of those that had "claimed" their spot the day prior. It was a massive parade for such a small town, and attendees came from many surrounding towns/cities, so roped off groups of chairs, along with poorly parked flatbeds began to appear in the parking lots along the route on July 2 each year. So anyway, i haven't watched the series, which I joke to my family is because the pirates almost got me years ago!
If you have a teapot with a spout that drips, you can buy little things to insert that stops that. My grandma had some, they are tiny metal loops with lots of bristles and you put it in like if you were sticking a folded up umbrella into the spout. The bristles hold it in place and the loop guides the tea out correctly. Grandma also had tiny sponges with elastic bands that she thread onto the spout, so as to catch any drips that ran after putting the tea pot back down.
A lovely teapot! But i think I would give the mushroom another colour to match the rest, or possible put a few mushrooms on the pot itself to match the pieces better. Lovely work!
Lord of the Rings and Princess Bride are my fav live action movies! It really is worth watching the first 20 minutes of the Fellowship just so you can enjoy the absolute adorable rustic charm of the hobbits lives. I think it's shown much nicer there than in the Hobbit. No large spider in the fellowship as well. I did have parts of Labyrinth and Neverending story that terrified me as a kid, but I've watched them multiple times and Labyrinth was and is still a favorite. Just the guys tossing their heads scared me as a kid lol. This teapot is so cute! I absolutely love how charming this and the fairy house are.
What a beautiful tea pot! I love all of the details and images on it. You did a great job on painting it and replacing the top handle with the little mushroom.
Oh my goodness Shelby. I am totally with you about ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and not having watched it due to childhood trauma! My Brother was watching it when we were young and I walked in on the evil little goblin thing (called Sméagol I think) saying “My Precious” and it freaked me out. My brother found this highly amusing. 😢😢 So for ages he would hide or sneak up on me and whisper is in the exact creepy voice, especially when it was dark or in the night! I’ve not been able to watch it ever because of that. To top it off, even now as an adult if I hear it or he does the impersonation a shiver still runs down my spine and I get this feeling of dread! On a happier note, your Teapot looks AMAZING! I Love your work and vision/style. I love th mystery mould series. I happened across you and have now sat and watched every single one of your videos in like a week (probably less). I cannot wait to continue the journey with you. I wish I knew about you she I came to Australia last year. I would of loved to of tried to time it with your Sydney market to get some of your work 🥰❤️
My daughters watched Hitchcock's 'The Birds" while at my parents house, my mother loved that movie. They (35 and 37 years later) absolutely freak if a bird gets near them. There are occasionally magpies in their garage and it's utter mayhem. I have not seen "The game of Thrones", I read the books each the year as it came out and it could not equal my imagination!
I was so excited when you said the words woody and earthy because that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the tea pot. Now I really hope you might find cups that Match the estatic of the pot. Also in childhood trauma: As a German kid growing up I have a shared trauma thing with people in my peer group. It was around easter over 30 years ago when they aired that specific animation of watership down for the first time in German TV. It feels like every parent/grandparent at the time saw the planned program, thought 'oh, animation, rabbits, nice, let's let the Kids watch unsupervised' and that's how a whole generation developed a fear of black rabbits.😅
Mine was ET. My kids and their dad now buy me ET figures for Christmas and Birthdays. My daughter wanted to watch it, so we did a movie night, faced my fears and watched it. Still creeps me out. She loved it. 😂
My uncle thought that my cousin might enjoy watching this cheesy old shark movie, Jaws! She was only 5! It scared her so badly that she couldn’t get in a pool or the ocean for decades, or finish the movie… or watch scary movies. 😂😢 He was so bummed too because he was an avid diver and boater. Sadly he passed away when she was 19. And after she graduated from college she went to get dive certified and now swims in the ocean, in his honor. ❤ She overcame her fear, and so can you!
Such an adorable teapot! I thought the lid looked like the large end of a big pine cone, and the way you colored and added depth was amazing! I'd love to see a tea set that matched!
The Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch releases The Flying Goblin Monkey beasts scared the shit out of me when I was little...The Wizard Of Oz was shown on TV on Thanksgiving and I would go an hide and cry every year til I was 10 years old.🤣 Also the scary Child Catcher!
Shelob is terrifying! Many parts of The Hobbit are scary and when my parents took me to see the cartoon version in the theater, the fire scene scared me so much we had to leave. Shelby, I’m surprised you haven’t seen any LOTR films when it fits your aesthetic so well; have you read any of the books?
Oh my goodness! I've been painting mugs with plates every time my daughter and I go to the pottery place in a city near us. Now I want a tea pot to match! So far I have daisies on a teal background and a 3 colour purple hydrangea on white. I also want to do cherry tree branches in bloom and wisteria. I am sure I will think of more. You most definitely need to do a tea set! I hope you have other things to go with the tea pot! Thanks for sharing, I love seeing your face when you open the moulds and see what you have, and watching how you paint them.
Hello! I’m not ending the mystery moulds! Just a dramatic title to express my love for finally finding my dream moulds 😂
There’s a sneak peak for the next video at the end of this one as proof 😅
Thank goodness
I'm collecting tea. Pots lol I see you are too lol
Im thrifting
I like the idea that you'd just put the mould on your mantle, and never make pottery again, just contented with finding one mould.
When is the next video coming 😢
Miss them
My toddler saw me watching your videos while I was cross stitching. She cuddled up and watched several episodes. This morning she came to me and asked to watch the "Pottery Lady". Thank you for making content that can be shared with my whole family. Each of my girls are creative in their own way, one in art, one in sewing, and another in building.

I may introduce my toddler to the channel 👀

I’ve also added a little ‘tongue’ just below the spout end which catches the drip and sends it into the cup instead of down the spout.
Oh good, you all wrote was I was going to write! 😄👍
Yes. I was thinking a light pinch, thinner and slightly raised tip.
Yes, you should absolutely make a full tea set. Although I would check with your assistants to see if they found any matching teacups and saucers.
Please don't stop the mystery molds! They are my favorite! I love seeing what sort of creative spins you put on the pottery.
We need to find the lid for the canister books!!!
Don’t worry, she said she was kidding. She has so many molds she doesn’t know what’s in them yet!
A little acorn as the lids handle would be even cuter.
Yes!! Or a little frog. Or, since there is a kitty on the pot, a curled up sleeping kitty for the knob would be cute. So many different options!!
Yes! I did love the mushroom too. It was very good size for the teapot.
But acorn...oooh...perfect!
And I think it will not be less delicate!
Or a bunch of different sized mushrooms. Or a combo of stuff ❤❤❤ so many good ideas (acorn with a tiny frog on top 😮)
Or a leaf!
I love this teapot! Yes, I would love to see a tea set made with this. It would be pretty painted in the colors of river pebbles too. They are all different colors.
The worm from the labyrinth, scary??? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 he’s the friendliest thing ever created 😂😂😂😂
I would love to see one of these teapots for every season choosing a color palette that would suit the seasons. The picture in my mind is adorable!
My little one and I watch your channel together and we just adore it. ❤
I would love a tan/toupe stone and pastel flower version!! And yes of course to the matching set ❤❤❤
I'm so glad you found a dream mould!!!! That will be a BLAST to paint. So much work!! Go crazy! Enjoy!
I've been following you for a few years now. This teapot is the epitome of cuteness!
ET scared me to tears. My older sister loved it and would hide her ET doll in my bed. It's still a family joke and she gives me ET gifts periodically.
Came to say ET scared me so much as a child. I still can watch it.
ET is my trauma movie, too. 😢
ET was terrifying. And my parents always made me go on the ride in Universal Studios. Cried each time
I absolutely feel this 🫣 especially the scene of him looking like a dead boiled chicken in the ravine like ??? This is a children's movie????
My childhood trauma film was Wizard of Oz. Those winged monkey absolutely terrified me.
Going through a rough, rough, time, Shelby. Thank you for bringing some sunshine to my day for 15:20 minutes.
I hope things improve for you soon. 💐
Wishing you that you'll get better soon ❤
The height of the spout mostly means that you can fill the teapot completely (you can’t fill a teapot or watering can higher than the level of the spout because the liquid inside will just flow out). How it pours is more about the shape of the “rim” of the spout than the level.

I love that you added your pastels and that you added extra leaves and the watercolor effect! Great job!
With the way you painted the roof, it looks like it was made out of pine cones! Love it!
i thought this too! It's so cute!
The dark crystal always scared the heck out of me when I was a kid, and would probably still scare me now 😂 the main characters were too uncanny for me, and when the bird guy melted it haunted my nightmares haha
The Dark Crystal scared me as well but not as much as Something Wicked this way Comes.
I just wrote a comment about my mother thinking it was a great idea to show my kids at age 3 & 4 that movie. It pretty much traumatized them and as adults my one daughter is still freaked out by puppets, marionettes, and animatronics.
i loved the t.v. show as an adult but yes the movie as a kid scared the dickens out of me lol
Dark Crystal was the first movie I thought of, too. Nightmare Before Christmas was a close second, though.
Same. The skecksies bird things are my nightmare fuel. ❤
My grandmother was a slipcaster but I fell in love with throwing and hand building. Watching you makes me feel closer to her somehow. Also, love your editing, need to up my editing skills for my channel.
Love the change of handle, the mushroom looks like a chimney!
Yes please make a cute tea set to go with the tea pot. Love how you added a mushroom to the lid. Maybe a future one you could add tiny cute mushrooms among the grass around the cottage. 🍄 ❤️
I love everything about this teapot! Yes, please make a set. I think that would be sweet!
I love it with the new lie handle, it looks like a chimney. So cute well done. ❤❤❤
I love how you always bring such creativity and excitement to every mold reveal! ❤Thank you for inspiring me with your content, Shelby! 🙂

The Hobbit is nice to read or listen to as an audio book. No jump scare that way.
Omg, The Labyrinth. Will NEVER watch again. Gave me nightmares as a kid lol So glad you found your dream mold! Wheeee! 🎉

I am missing your content a lot. You are a bright ray of sunshine that brightens my day when you post. I hope you will find time to make full videos again soon.
Good choice on the mushroom 🍄!! I love it. I would absolutely make a tea set to match!!! Bravo!!!!
I got a huge fright going through a car wash as a toddler. I still remember it vividly and have never gone through one since. So not a film or book but definitely long-lasting!
Oh my goodness!! It’s so beautiful tea pot. Your artwork is amazing on it! Good job! 👏🏻 😊
I love the mushroom handle. So much sturdier and easier to use without sacrificing asthetic.
This is the absolute cutest piece you've done. I love it.
Time for flower tea cups with leaf saucers!!! Or gourd looking tea cups.
I absolutely loved the blue on this piece, a whole tea set would be adorable!💕
there's so much detail, that's crazy!! 🥰
The teapot is so adorable 😍😍😍😍 but the roof reminds me of ginko leaves! And in the fall, they turn a vibrant yellow! All the ❤ from Pittsburgh, PA USA!!!
Love this so much. I think making the tree into a wisteria would be cool. Like an old english cottage.
I love wisteria so much it’s probably my favourite flower
Great results, I would call it weathered rather than grungy. Glad you found more treasure in the moulds.
I love Tea pots. This is small enough to be a pot for one if you couple it with one of your Tea mugs ❤
I love your mystery mold series!! I appreciate you take the time to finish the pieces and share your art ❤

Pan's Labyrinth! I was like...16? and still got nightmares from the pale man! 😂
I honestly thought that cutting off the top branch would look off, but that mushroom was absolutely perfect!
Hi Shelby. I also am a potter and I read somewhere that putting a little LINISHING COMPOUND under the lip of the spout should stop the drip. LINISHING compound is used by metal workers to get a high polish. Hope this helps, Barbara
As someone who has ginger twin kittens, well teens now, I approve of your kitty color choice!
So, so cute! The colors are not "grungy" at all! The blue stones worked better than I thought it would! For me, would have tried to paint each stone a different color grey then put a dark grey wash over all. Changing out the little handle on the lid was smart.

I need that teapot! ❤
The teapot is as adorable as you are!
So fun watching these mysteries unfold!
I love your energy and excitement of seeing each of the molds. You are so fun to watch.
I love the customization with the mushroom handle--would be nice to add a few smaller mushrooms around the base. With the talk about The Hobbit, I was thinking it would be very cool to retrofit a round hobbit-hole door (but that's a BIG change!)
Yes to a full to a full set. You are amazing ❤
The lid looks like straw thatching. I would love to see a yellow/brown roof!
Omg how stinking cute is that tea pot. Also yes you absolutely should do a full set of them.
I absolutely love the teapot !! omgosh im so happy for you 😁
I love the darker colors with the orange max! Its perfect for fall!
Absolutely love watching your videos. Thank you 🙏🤩 Shelby.
I vividly remember visiting my aunt's house with my mom when I was a little kid and we watch the movie Labyrinth and it terrified me. Now as an adult I love it❤
The colours you picked for that are amazing. Really love the teapot and the spice books ❤
That’s fantastic - replacing the handle on the lid was a brilliant idea, the mushroom looks so good. A whole set would is a great idea, just about any of your cottage type cups would work in the same colour scheme.
80's fantasy movies where on another level, seriously. Heck I even got traumatized as a little kid by... E.T.!
E.T. traumatised me too, I had nightmares for years and I only saw the movie once as a toddler.
80s movies were absolutely wild. The Dark Crystal, The Labyrinth, ET, The Neverending Story etc. I think the feel of those was also part of the inspo for Stranger Things.
@@niagara6015 That scene in the back of the house at night where Elliott shines his flashlight onto E.T.'s face and it lets out an otherworldly scream. Ugh...[shudder]
so cute, I love the details on it. Love the window with the cat!

I haven't seen the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series because I was almost kidnapped by pirates at age 3.
We have a July 4th parade on Main Street every year in my hometown (which is a suburb of Seattle) My dad was an employee of a paint company that was also on Main St, so he drove a company van in the parade, with my sister and I dressed in paint coveralls and company hats.

Most of the floats and those in the parade would throw candy to us in our yard, and we didn't even have to run into the street and fight a bunch of other kids for it! 🍬🍭 One of the perks of cheering for those in the parade before it even began. Plus, my parents didn't have to walk 2 small children 10 blocks while fighting other attendees and the chairs and other items of those that had "claimed" their spot the day prior. It was a massive parade for such a small town, and attendees came from many surrounding towns/cities, so roped off groups of chairs, along with poorly parked flatbeds began to appear in the parking lots along the route on July 2 each year.
So anyway, i haven't watched the series, which I joke to my family is because the pirates almost got me years ago!
That is a lovely mould, i think i would have done a golden yellow roof though
If you have a teapot with a spout that drips, you can buy little things to insert that stops that. My grandma had some, they are tiny metal loops with lots of bristles and you put it in like if you were sticking a folded up umbrella into the spout. The bristles hold it in place and the loop guides the tea out correctly. Grandma also had tiny sponges with elastic bands that she thread onto the spout, so as to catch any drips that ran after putting the tea pot back down.
A lovely teapot! But i think I would give the mushroom another colour to match the rest, or possible put a few mushrooms on the pot itself to match the pieces better.
Lovely work!
Lord of the Rings and Princess Bride are my fav live action movies! It really is worth watching the first 20 minutes of the Fellowship just so you can enjoy the absolute adorable rustic charm of the hobbits lives. I think it's shown much nicer there than in the Hobbit. No large spider in the fellowship as well. I did have parts of Labyrinth and Neverending story that terrified me as a kid, but I've watched them multiple times and Labyrinth was and is still a favorite. Just the guys tossing their heads scared me as a kid lol. This teapot is so cute! I absolutely love how charming this and the fairy house are.
I love the tea pot! I so wished I lived closer or was richer so could travel down to the pottery! ❤❤❤
David Bowie in Labarinth scared the living heck out of me as a kid 😂😂
What a beautiful tea pot! I love all of the details and images on it. You did a great job on painting it and replacing the top handle with the little mushroom.
Oh my goodness Shelby. I am totally with you about ‘The Lord of the Rings’ and not having watched it due to childhood trauma! My Brother was watching it when we were young and I walked in on the evil little goblin thing (called Sméagol I think) saying “My Precious” and it freaked me out. My brother found this highly amusing. 😢😢 So for ages he would hide or sneak up on me and whisper is in the exact creepy voice, especially when it was dark or in the night! I’ve not been able to watch it ever because of that. To top it off, even now as an adult if I hear it or he does the impersonation a shiver still runs down my spine and I get this feeling of dread!
On a happier note, your Teapot looks AMAZING! I Love your work and vision/style. I love th mystery mould series. I happened across you and have now sat and watched every single one of your videos in like a week (probably less). I cannot wait to continue the journey with you. I wish I knew about you she I came to Australia last year. I would of loved to of tried to time it with your Sydney market to get some of your work 🥰❤️
My daughters watched Hitchcock's 'The Birds" while at my parents house, my mother loved that movie. They (35 and 37 years later) absolutely freak if a bird gets near them. There are occasionally magpies in their garage and it's utter mayhem. I have not seen "The game of Thrones", I read the books each the year as it came out and it could not equal my imagination!
Oh my gosh! I love it so much! I would love to see a whole tea set!!
Don't stop this series
I was so excited when you said the words woody and earthy because that's the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the tea pot. Now I really hope you might find cups that Match the estatic of the pot.
Also in childhood trauma:
As a German kid growing up I have a shared trauma thing with people in my peer group. It was around easter over 30 years ago when they aired that specific animation of watership down for the first time in German TV. It feels like every parent/grandparent at the time saw the planned program, thought 'oh, animation, rabbits, nice, let's let the Kids watch unsupervised' and that's how a whole generation developed a fear of black rabbits.😅
Watership Down
omg yes, that book and movie are both traumatizing. I'll never watch/read them again.
Yes, please make a tea setting!! ❤
Mine was ET. My kids and their dad now buy me ET figures for Christmas and Birthdays. My daughter wanted to watch it, so we did a movie night, faced my fears and watched it. Still creeps me out. She loved it. 😂
I would love a full little tea set this is super cute 🥰
My uncle thought that my cousin might enjoy watching this cheesy old shark movie, Jaws! She was only 5! It scared her so badly that she couldn’t get in a pool or the ocean for decades, or finish the movie… or watch scary movies. 😂😢 He was so bummed too because he was an avid diver and boater. Sadly he passed away when she was 19. And after she graduated from college she went to get dive certified and now swims in the ocean, in his honor. ❤ She overcame her fear, and so can you!
Such an adorable teapot! I thought the lid looked like the large end of a big pine cone, and the way you colored and added depth was amazing! I'd love to see a tea set that matched!
The Wizard of Oz when the Wicked Witch releases The Flying Goblin Monkey beasts scared the shit out of me when I was little...The Wizard Of Oz was shown on TV on Thanksgiving and I would go an hide and cry every year til I was 10 years old.🤣 Also the scary Child Catcher!
You absolutely need to make this a set. Amazon has a silicone tea spout thing that stops the dribble. Teapot spout protector.
I found a cottage teapot at the thriftstore once and that baby went home with me so fast! It's not as whimsical as this one though.... it's so cute!
Shelob is terrifying! Many parts of The Hobbit are scary and when my parents took me to see the cartoon version in the theater, the fire scene scared me so much we had to leave. Shelby, I’m surprised you haven’t seen any LOTR films when it fits your aesthetic so well; have you read any of the books?
I think you should try building up that branch on the lid! At least once. Love your work!
It came out so cute!!
Jaws. I saw it when I was 7 on TV. 30 years later, I still can't do shark or sea monster movies 😅
Oh my goodness! I've been painting mugs with plates every time my daughter and I go to the pottery place in a city near us. Now I want a tea pot to match! So far I have daisies on a teal background and a 3 colour purple hydrangea on white. I also want to do cherry tree branches in bloom and wisteria. I am sure I will think of more. You most definitely need to do a tea set! I hope you have other things to go with the tea pot! Thanks for sharing, I love seeing your face when you open the moulds and see what you have, and watching how you paint them.
