Originally the bees went with a sunflower dish/bowl and the hummingbird with a poppy dish/bowl. I love what you did with these! I put the image from the catalog on my community tab if anyone wants to see it.
Didn't a sunflower dish come up before? I remember the comments talking about it being possible to repurpose it as a different flower. Edit: Mould 91 could work maybe?
I wish you’d find another truckload of vintage molds so this series could go on forever. I’ve never done pottery, but now I fantasize of having a little setup in my garage.
Oh, these are gorgeous! Shame about the birds. And imagine if they were on copper stakes instead of wooden? I know that would be expensive. But it would look amazing.
I love them I think if the hummingbirds actually had worked out they also could have made a really cool Center decoration to a set of wind chimes, hummingbird at the top then big bee then little bee.
It's going to kinda be sad when you finish doing the last mould reveal, this has definitely been a wonderful experience watching each beautiful piece emerged.
I love your nod to the blue banded bee. I live in WA and it took me 2yrs after moving to an area that has blue banded bees to see one. They were always there, I just wasn't 'seeing them'. Now I adore them! They love my chives when flowering and are in the rosemary too. You'd never mistake them for a blowfly.
BEES! Hummingbirds are such scary things actually, conceptually. The hummingbird really feels like it belongs to a different set, the way it looks coming out of the mould. You've done well in integrating it though
I hope you get more moulds. This series should never end. Everybody needs a little mystery once a week or so. These bees are some of my favorites of the whole lot. And I had never heard of there being blue bees. Wow!
I'm sorry about the pain in the beak .....thank you for sharing not only your creativity but also tell us more about your environment, like today the blue-ish bees native to Australia :)
I wonder how these more delicate sculptural pieces would look with a blue/navy glaze in place of the black? That could make some softer lines in the recesses and give a different look from the black. I love these… it’s a shame that they gave you such trouble because they’re just so lovely. As always, its a tremendous pleasure to watch your creative process.
I love the way the opalescent glaze pooled, especially on the bees! It highlights the texture in the exact opposite direction from the antiquing, which looks very cool :) With the hummingbird, it's honestly a surprise that they were modeled with their beaks out like that anyway! Even as thin as it is on the mold, the beak modeled here is actually much thicker and shorter than a real hummingbird's. If you wanted to experiment with this mold, you could try breaking the beak off from the beginning and attaching a piece of wire. I don't know if glaze would want to hold on to metal, but a larger gauge wire would be the right thickness for a hummingbird's beak.
Oh my goodness I LOVE these so much! They turned out so beautifully!! Many people don't realize that lots of bees are iridescent and sparkly! In Oregon we have a tiny bright green iridescent (like a scarab beetle) native bee and we have a fly that's a black and yellow striped. Haha mimics in nature are great! I was spirited and saddened when I learned that hummingbirds aren't everywhere in the world. They are truly magical!!
Sad for the difficulty on the hummingbirds I love them. Your painting items as a set is always fun. The antique technique does bring out the textures. Love from the Midwest USA. 💜
Hi, I love this series. If you are almost out of moulds to reveal you could always do a "making your suggestions" video from all the ideas people have left on previous videos.
I love the bright yellow and polka dot piggies. And, I love watching all the way through, not only to learn what goes into your art, but it us so very calming. Thank you for all you do!
I love the colours you used. I totally respect your tenacity to keep trying until you got perfect humming birds. Its very easy to give in after the mould doesn't work after the 3rd attempt. Great video :)
I didn't even know about blue bee 🐝 💙 !. Apparently there are différents species that looks all a little different but they are all so special ! Nice to have learn something today
Those are the bee’s knees! Yes, the two stuck together would’ve looked cool on a stick. Glue them back together and put in your garden! I wasn’t expecting the brown to turn out so good.
I don't know why I thought there wouldn't be videos after last week's new studio tour. This makes me happy! These are soooo cute! Tiny little bees and birds took so much work. You did a great job!
Very cute. With a gold luster they could make cute christmas ornaments. Or painted with pastell colours I bet one could make a very sweet mobile put of them.
This series is fantastic and an amazing way to show off these molds. I’ve been following along. I love doing this kind of pottery, if I lived near you, I would be your biggest customer and pupil. These have to be amongst my favourites. I adore that you go the extra steps to get special effects. Great video, thank you 👍🏻🌸😊🌟
Your work is beautiful! I don't normally enjoy these kinds of videos. Usually, I find people talking over this kind of thing annoying but you have such a lovely and calming voice that I just love listening to you talk about something you enjoy! Your artwork is lovely and I'm so glad I discovered you!
I'm going to be so sad while you take a break cause I look forward to the new episodes so much every week. But when u start back up I'm going to be sooo excited.
OMG how funny!! I just bought this mold a few weeks ago! Unfortunately it broke during shipping but I used mold glue and it worked really well. I got these to put on a bird bath I handbuilt but the hummingbird has been a problem for me as well. Yours turned out beautifully!!
How cute! Just in time for spring. I thought of you this week. A friend of mine gave me a bunch of African violet pots. The kind that sit inside each other. They were white with a blue accent. I began washing them since they were all cob webby and realized they were all glazed, not painted! I went to my local pottery store, bought some glazes and reglazed them. There’s about 18 pieces. I’ll get them fired next week, wish me luck. ❤
These are so pretty. Maybe before the bisque fire take your broken beak hummingbirds and combine with a flower to make it look like their feeding off nectar. That way the broken end of the beak is inside or disguised within the flower?
I loved these! Cute little bees and beautiful humming birds 😍😍😍 I love the style of the mould and the interpretation with the antiquing that you did. I'm sorry the bird's beak was so fragile, but the ones you did were wonderful.
I love these so much! This is one of those molds that I hope you do again so we can see some other cool colors or like put them on a dish/cup/vase. So cute!!
These are beeautiful and I'm glad you're humming right along with your new studio. (I couldn't help myself) I love your videos and am so thrilled for you. If you can't find time to do these videos, I know I would not mind watching you do your Christmas orders.
I absolutely love these and the colours. To make these a little more weather proof you could use steel instead 6mm or something thin depending on the hole size.
Hi Shelby, I love the bees and hummingbirds. They are fabulous. It’s a shame that you are so close to the end of the 100 moulds. I have sooo enjoyed watching you every week. I shall, of course , keep watching you in your endeavours because I enjoy your work so much x
With some of the smaller molds you can make a chess ♟️ out of it. That would be so cute. Put some felt at the bottom and a bigger table set. It would make a great gift.
Rugbees is what came to mind when I saw the brown and blue. Perhaps pre-moistening the beak so it'll dry about the same time as the rest, or, take some clay and mold it into the beak area then pour the slip.
I would love to see a twist with your antiquing, where instead of just using black or deep brown, you use a darker shade of colour - maybe a deeper shade of what's underneath, or a co-ordinating colour (like a deep purple on blue or pink/red)
I can’t believe we are approaching 100! I really took for granted Shelby was just gonna give us mystery gumtree pours every week like an eternal fountain of joy! So proud of your success and your channel - good luck ✨🥹❤️🍀🏆
If you want to attract the blue banded bees, plant a geisha girl bush. Holy moly, mum had one in her garden (nsw/vic border), and despite having a garden FULL of flowers, it was the geisha girl that always had the blueys on them 😍
What are you making today? Birds and the bees. Oh... :D Anyway, is it possible to put something in the beak before pouring, something that will be like armature? Piece of wire or similar? I really don't know just asking.
I love these! The antiquing really brought out the feathers, and the veins on the bee's wings. I was hoping you would add something shimmery and you did! The way they sit so nicely on a stick, is there some kind of "kiln stick" that you could perch them on for firing?
try sponging some water on the mould for the hummingbird beak before you pour it with slip. it stops the mould from drying out to fast.i used to do that for thin breakable items
I love that! “We don’t aim for realistic- we aim for imagination.” It’s a bummer about the hummingbirds.
Originally the bees went with a sunflower dish/bowl and the hummingbird with a poppy dish/bowl. I love what you did with these! I put the image from the catalog on my community tab if anyone wants to see it.
I would love to see those
Maybe she'll find that mold!
Didn't a sunflower dish come up before? I remember the comments talking about it being possible to repurpose it as a different flower.
Edit: Mould 91 could work maybe?
@@ystacalden I tried looking because I thought I remembered seeing it but couldn't find it.
@@marysolis4193 There's a Duncan Scioto Mold Catalog I downloaded from the internet that has these in it. It's on page 67.
My 3yo and I watch your videos together every weekend and if I forget she asks for her "Shelfy" videos. It's so sweet🥰
I wish you’d find another truckload of vintage molds so this series could go on forever. I’ve never done pottery, but now I fantasize of having a little setup in my garage.

So sorry about the birds, but they still turned out awesome!!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️❤️❤️
I hope you get more moulds. This series should never end. Everybody needs a little mystery once a week or so. These bees are some of my favorites of the whole lot. And I had never heard of there being blue bees. Wow!
"as what a bee would be." That brought me joy. 😊🤗😍🐝

I am in love with the birds and the bees🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝

it's too bad the mold was so delicate! your choices of colors are so pretty and they turned out PERFECT in the end
Sad for the difficulty on the hummingbirds I love them. Your painting items as a set is always fun. The antique technique does bring out the textures. Love from the Midwest USA. 💜
These would make the cutest windchimes!
Hi, I love this series. If you are almost out of moulds to reveal you could always do a "making your suggestions" video from all the ideas people have left on previous videos.
I know it'd be expensive, but i'd LOVE to see one of these bees antiqued with the gold shimmer 😍😍
Can you imagine these as Christmas ornaments? When I was little my mother would get these hummingbird ornaments as gifts, I still have one.
I love these so much 🥰 the humming birds might have been a pain but they are so beautiful.
honestly, the glazes on these worked out so well. i think this might be my favourite pieces you have ever done. thank you for doing this
I agree! Never wanted to reach through my screen and grab them like I did these! I love bees and these are so beautiful
They'd be really pretty in a vase of flowers as a centerpiece on a table.
Those bees would make lovely wind chimes!
I love, love, LOVE how those blue banded bees turned out! They look like precious gems!
I love the bright yellow and polka dot piggies. And, I love watching all the way through, not only to learn what goes into your art, but it us so very calming. Thank you for all you do!
Hey Shelby, have you tried that pressured Air pistol you've used in the past?
That's a tricky mold 🤔 but super adorable and beautifully executed 😍❤️
Bee-autiful Shelby 🐝 thank you 😊
I love the blue/brown bee! What a marvellous antiquing-shiny glaze effect.
I love the colours you used.
I totally respect your tenacity to keep trying until you got perfect humming birds.
Its very easy to give in after the mould doesn't work after the 3rd attempt.
Great video :)

I absolutely love the blue antiquing, I think the colours look marvelous together, especially the mustard yellow, brown and the blue 😍😍
The plant steak idea is absolutely adorable! Love watching/listening to your process!
The blue Bees are so beautiful
🐝 Great job👏 Fan from Lynchburg, VA, USA🇺🇸. Let's get our celebratory cupcakes ready for Mould 100 reveal🧁🎉
Are we doing cupcakes? I’m all for that! 🧁
I don't know why I thought there wouldn't be videos after last week's new studio tour. This makes me happy! These are soooo cute! Tiny little bees and birds took so much work. You did a great job!
The bee's & hummingbird look fabulous ❤
Blue banded bees love rosemary flowers. My mum always has them hanging out in her rosemary. 💙
I LOVED these! I just love that type of glace!!! And humminbirds and bees ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🥰🥰🥰🥰
these are so gorgeous and creative! awesome job Shelby 💛🤎💙🤎
This is one of my favorites! Especially the hummingbirds!
Perfect colours
Very cute. With a gold luster they could make cute christmas ornaments.
Or painted with pastell colours I bet one could make a very sweet mobile put of them.
They are so gorgeous. I'm in love. Espacially with the hummingbird.
Such whimsical insects to put in your plants. I hope you are enjoying your new studio.

I do love them all. I would paint the sticks to match the green stems in your garden. Just lovely!!!
Your work is beautiful! I don't normally enjoy these kinds of videos. Usually, I find people talking over this kind of thing annoying but you have such a lovely and calming voice that I just love listening to you talk about something you enjoy! Your artwork is lovely and I'm so glad I discovered you!
I'm going to be so sad while you take a break cause I look forward to the new episodes so much every week. But when u start back up I'm going to be sooo excited.
The fused bees are really cute

I love these. Definitely in my top five fav of this series.
Stunning!
I love watching these so much, much to my surprise.
Oh my gosh only 3 more to go until you reach 100 mystery moulds! So exciting, I love your work and energy. BTW those bees! 😍😍😍
These are hands down my favorite thing you've made LOVE 💘 ❤ 💕
Very cute 🥰 🐝 I love the idea of having them as garden decorations m, they look amazing
I absolutely love these and the colours. To make these a little more weather proof you could use steel instead 6mm or something thin depending on the hole size.

great video! i have a blue banded bee that visits my garden! ive only ever seen one, and its always on my lavender and rosemary ❤️
They are absolutely delightful 💜💜💜
I would love to see you combine the baby peas onto your sunflower mug I think it would be a really cute combination🥰💖🌸💐🌻🌺🌹🍒🌼🍦
I can’t believe we are approaching 100! I really took for granted Shelby was just gonna give us mystery gumtree pours every week like an eternal fountain of joy! So proud of your success and your channel - good luck ✨🥹❤️🍀🏆
Eternal fountain of joy! Yes! 🐝
These are absolutely beautiful! 😍
I want hundreds of the bees in my garden! They are so adorable!
I love these as plant decorations!
I swear these are my faves.
If you want to attract the blue banded bees, plant a geisha girl bush. Holy moly, mum had one in her garden (nsw/vic border), and despite having a garden FULL of flowers, it was the geisha girl that always had the blueys on them 😍

I've seen blue banded bees a couple of times, but only zipping past me, not posed on a flower.

Love these 🥰 The colours are perfect 👌 ❤
They are so cute. I need them in my garden 😍
I love the humming birds! It's a shame they are so hard to pour.
these are so gorgeous ! my favorite so far 💜
They're so darling!
