Mystery Pottery Mould No.55 : What is inside?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 гру 2021
- This is the series where I reveal what is inside these pottery moulds I found on Gumtree.
To check out the Mouldy Bisquits DIY Pottery Painting kits head to
www.mouldybisquits.com.au
The story goes, I found a listing on gumtree for pottery stuff. When I arrived the seller said 'I have all these pottery moulds would you like them as well?' and I said 'why not'. On the way home, I had the brain child to do a social media video series revealing what each mould is.
The mystery is in the fact that I had no idea what I had said yes to, some of the moulds are labelled and easy to tell but some of them are a little more difficult. The beauty is that all of the plaster moulds surprise you no matter the presentation of labels, titles or identifiable surface inside.
So come join me as I dive into this series and share the mould fun. I would love to hear any information you may have on the moulds and to let me know any stories you have that the moulds remind you of in the comments.
Don't forget to like, comment and subscribe!
Heaps of love,

The resin dish is precious.
You have such a lovely way of communicating. I can hear you smiling when you speak. It's really nice to watch a person who is so genuine and excited about their craft.
Thank you so much Stacey! I truly appreciate this message and thank you so much for watching 💓🥺
One of the little froggies would be awesome inside a mug at the bottom! I love mugs with surprises inside and it would be so cute to see a little froggie at the end of a cuppa
I was just about to say this!
Hi Shelby! In soap, we would just pour one colour on one side of the pitcher and another colour on the other side, and not mix it further, or only very slightly. The mixing happens in the mould. I don't know if it would be the same for clay, but maybe it is worth a try? I love the froggos :-)
That’s how it works with paints as well! It’s definitely worth experimenting, though it’s possible clay might solidify too quickly to mix properly.
It was nice to finally see the Australia flowers you always paint! ❤️
You should try and put a frog inside the mug. My grandparents had "froggie mug" when I was a kid that had a frog figure at the bottom of the mug that would slowly appear as you drank your milk. We still fight over who gets to use it for their coffee when we go visit! It's so cute and would be a nice mix up from the way the mushie mugs are
Aww, I had one like that but it was a cat! I loved that mug as a kid!
Back in the seventies the little froggys would come on little lily pads with cute signs. So love the mug and the little frog pond 🐸
I love the tiny little bug frantically running away from the flower press. Little friend was like "im not a flower, don't squish meeee" 😂
These are such precious little frogs. I remember them - or something very similar - on my grandmother's windowsill. They're so nonplussed looking that I always thought of them like Mr. Toad from a wind in the willows.
A set with a mushroom mug and a frog mug would be so lovely!!
When I was a little girl we had these same frogs. A whole set and I would play with them all the time. They were the Original Little Pet Shops from the 70s! I remember we even had some that sat in the bottom of our fish tank. I remember some of ours had tiny googly eyes glued on them to make them. A memory i had lost until now.
My grandma also collected little frogs! She had one designated for every member of the family so we were all represented in frog form up on her shelf. It seems a little weird to relate frogs to people but I loved our sassy little frog family growing up!
Can I just say "WOW!" you have out done yourself. So much creative talent.
Your happy energy and enthusiasm are contagious! I mean, that's always the case with your videos, but this time your love for this mould just radiated through the screen.
I love how the pond plate came out, but my favourite piece is actually the mug! It looks so awesomely retro on the one hand, but on the other hand the extruding frogs make it unique, quirky and whimsical.
Loved everything about this video. It's funny, because my own style is quite the opposite of yours (my sculptures are dark, creepy, moody), yet your videos never fail to lift my mood. Thank you!
My late MIL collected frogs, these reminded me of her and how much we miss her. They are really lovely and I love what you have done with them :). Still holding my breath for kitties.
Your clear joy as you talk about your ideas and your projects is the best part of your channel. And the things you make are adorable. Your details and ideas are so fun. They remind me so much of little knickknacks my grandma passed down to me. Love your channel and watching you create with such joy.
I really like the frogs. I think I would use the mug as a vase or a flower pot. In that case I think your usual illustration of lots of Australian flowers would look really great. Or a little pond scene in the background.
A pond scene would be so cute! Do they have cattails (those pond plants that look like corndogs) in Australia? Some of those would look precious!
Your videos are a delight! Please never lose your enthusiasm for the things you love. It’s very special.
I adore the pressed flower lily pad plate! So creative and adorable. I’m glad you are so excited about your art and are trying new things :)
Thank you so much!!! You are amazing ✨
So much nostalgia, my great grandmother had little plastic versions of these that she kept in her cutlery drawer for me to play with because I couldn't reach anywhere else. Really beautiful to see a different spin on them
It's all so stinkin' cute! The mugs are awesome. I love hearing you so excited and happy about a mold and the results!
Adorable! I collected frogs too, but passed my collection on to an older sister of mine so she carries it on The lilypad plate is really nice.
Fantastic work Shelby, thank you for filming and showing us!
I love the resin dish, so clever! A couple who work with resin a lot on UA-cam is Evan and Kaitlyn, very funny and informative. Thanks for showing us your work, it's beautiful!!
I love these! Their little faces are so adorable and they remind me of Over the Garden Wall! Your joy over these makes the video even better, you can tell how happy these make you.
Aww I loved this! Your videos never fail to make me smile. I’m really struggling with a back injury at the moment and felt pretty low but you’ve cheered me up and my mum collects frog things too!! Take care of yourself, stay safe :)
UA-cam recently recommended this particular video and I decided to give it a watch... then binge watched the entire mould reveal series!! How many moulds are there in total? I have been so delighted watching you create such beautiful and whimsical pieces that I not only subscribed, but am now trying to best decide how to explore this craft myself (without first investing a full kit), especially as I also deal with a chronic illness. I would love to see more tips and tricks that you might be willing to share, or advice for anyone wanting to learn the craft! Thank you so much for opening yourself to us all and congratulations on your 3-year cancer free!!
I think that she answers some of your questions elsewhere. There are shops where such things are done. So good to try things out. Where could you fire your things as in can you buy a kiln, maybe a used one. You’ll need a dedicated space separate from your house as the dust and kiln fumes are a hazard. Mostly you will work with either high or low fire. So check that out for the pros and cons. You only need a few Colors, make sure they will work together. You’ll need some clay and some moulds. Maybe you can make your own moulds using potters plaster. Mugs are always useful. Check out pottery supply stores on line. With some paints you could draw up some of your ideas. You could even paint with acrylics on cheap white mugs. Ideas will come as you start. What would you like to paint? I’m a potter and sculptor and this is my passion, this is my world, so yes come on in, just get started, that’s the hardest part.
She has 300 mystery moulds ,even more now 1 year later
I really enjoyed listening to your creative process with this one!
I loved the little frogs! Especially the marbled once. And that plate is a really beautiful piece of art.
The froggies are absolutely adorable! The plate is very cute, could easily just be a decorative piece by itself. And I love the mug!
Excellent job on the marbling. Would love to see other things that way. As a whole this video showed your joy and creativity bursting at the seams. Thank your for sharing your journey 💜
Hi Shelby, I'm sure your Grandmother would really 💗 that "Cup" !!! You're a FANTASTIC Artist - BRAVA !!!
THANK YOU! So much Nina! This is such a lovely kind comment!
So cute!
I always love the flowers you have around your studio! These pressed flowers are such beautiful colors 🌼🌸
Precious! The lily pad is brilliant! I’ll take an entire set! 🤭✨🤷🏻♀️ My favorite as well! ❤️
Those frogs are so cute!! Your videos are a little ray of sunshine each week, thank you for the amazing energy you put into the universe
Shelby, I'm not getting yhese all watched in order, but I enjoy every one you do. I am SO glad you decided to share these "treasure molds" with great rest of us. You have really gotten your creative juices with all of them!
I love the joy and artistry you put into everything! It's so fun to see you try new things and have them work out so you love them too! I'm pretty sure my mom had the laying down frog in our house growing up (in the states) and now I'm wondering if it's still around anywhere!
This is my favorite mould so far. I absolutely adore frogs and that resin dish turned out fantastic. I love when different hobbies combine so that they are both elevated.
I have a sweet spot in my heart for little froggies ♡ My friend and I frequently send one another "frogtok" videos because we love frogs 🐸 They're just so cute.
You are so freaking talented. 😮 Thank you for gracing the internet with your beautiful work and your lovely presence!
Wow those paper daisies you found last minute really make the piece imo! They look just like little lotus flowers that you see growing on lily pads! Adorable!
ABSOLUTELY fantastic! Ahhh, I love frogs so much! These are adorable and everything turned out so wonderfully! ❤️
I love these. I used to collect frogs and I'm sure I had some of these! Love your plate idea. 🐸
So so so so so so gorgeous. The mug turned out beautifully! It would actually be really nice to hold, with your fingers in between the frogs, even though they stand out.
Love, love, love the saucer/plate you made! All the touches you added really made it special. The original paint job would have satisfied most people. The “water” of resin bumped it up. Adding the frogs onto the piece using the resin really made them appear to be lounging in a pond.
I am generally more of a minimalist and kept thinking, ok, that is enough. But the end result with the dimensions of the flowers was stunning.
Love listening to your voice, watching you work and feeling your infectious joy. Thanks for sharing your little part of the world with the rest of us!
I love the little frogs so much! The pond idea was perfect!
I love all of your videos, but could not stop smiling thru this one. The excitement in your voice is infectious!
My favorite mug so far. Those tiny frogs are so so cute.
Oh wow that red clay looks so cool !! And that green marble wow
So cute! My Pa had an old set of little froggies like these that were playing cards sitting around the edge of their leaf, but it was actually an ash tray I think!! They were so cute and mysterious, lived in the front room with all of the other relics.
This is the cutest YT channel. Thanks for so many peaceful, relaxing videos.
This is such a special episode. They are so so cute. This is the best!
OMG sassy frogs how aewsome. I so remember these little guys from way back when. This made me so happy 🐸
I love the MUG! What a super idea. And your resin frog pond! Super cute. 💙 🐸
the sheer excitement in your voice this episode is so fun!
Awesome, I have just ordered a flower press a few days ago, it's great to see you putting them in your work 💖 love all the wee froggies, the lily pond plate is especially beautiful!
I have 2 flower presses, but I’ve found a pile of books is easier. We get booklets in the mail from time to time. Sometimes phone books. I put flowers and leaves in these books, and set books on top. Sometimes it works best to put leaves right up to the spine to keep them flat. Make sure there are several pages in between flowers. I pressed flowers from a bouquet maybe 2 weeks ago and they’re already good. In summer, I’ll probably have actual flower presses and books going all the time. Pressing is addictive. Have you tried eco-dyeing? Have fun!
Oh I think the frog mug would of been really cute with flies flying around with the little dashes as the flight pattern. Super cute!
Love this one, I am also an obsessed froggy collector & I adore them all!
I could imagine an entire teasl set with the saucers looking like that platter minus the flowers. That mug is gorgeous
What cute lil froggies. I like the marbling a lot!
OMG....so darn cute! I love how much creativity they sparked in you. So much to adore. Happy Holidays!
That combo with the frogs and mug would totally make a cute planter. You could leave the handle or take it off, either way, so cute.
Love the marbling and how even the colors home out blended.
The ring dish is so freaking cute. Oh my gosh I love it so much!
You should totally do a pond mug with water littles ( blue waters in the bottom of the mug) and frod around it 😍😍
I found your channel recently and I watch 1-2 videos everyday it’s like a part of my habit now 🤩 I absolutely love your creation and your cheerful personality. Keeps me happy ❤❤❤❤❤
I love it when you get excited!!! Brings my soul joy ❤️
I love ur enthusiasm and the way you talk about it like it’s ur first time, I can’t help but smile watching ur videos so thank u for that 😊
Your flower pressing really impresses me! ❤️
I am so happy it does!!
I love the frog mug :) It doesn't bother me at all that they stick out :)
That’s good!! I actually didn’t mind it as much after they came out of the kiln! It is a little awkward to hold and you will need little fingers to comfortably hold it via the handle
OMG! Grumpy frogs: amphibi-dorable! Must I limit myself to 7 paragraphs? The lily pad, oh my gosh! I saw it coming and felt an actual jolt of happiness. Drape your bling-y bracelets over the frogs and they’re ready to party. I love the marbled camo frogs. I loved the pressed gum flowers. I love them, and I pray you paint them on everything. You MUST make hundreds of those frogs, and several dozen lily pads. Welcome to your future.
My grandma also collects those little frogs! Ceramic and otherwise. You can't turn any direction in her bathroom without seeing a few dozen frogs. I love them!!
Ah, the marble frogs are my favorite and the pond. They all are so sweet.
i love how you do what you do, shelby. i love frogs/toads. you and your art are beautiful
I love that you had so much fun in this week's video. You can tell that you were really enjoying it. All of the pieces turned out great. I LOVE that mug!
The mug is adorable! The saucer is brilliant too and it all looks so cool x
Love the mug. Very 70s retro. It looks like a Dangerfield dress
I love that you love this mold so much, it comes across in what you created!
Awesome froggies! Love your little pond! Always enjoy your videos. They cheer my day up.💕
Just a hint that works well for me and makes it easier to take your project out of the mold. Sometimes they just won’t come out. When It’s time to remove your piece from the mold I use an exacto knife to go into that inside channel, that has to be trimmed off, and cut it near the piece first. Pull that out and then take your piece out. Really enjoy watching your and seeing what comes out of those molds!
Love the frogs so much. My mom collected little frogs and we always try to find a frog for her grave each year. Thank you.
Your giggle when you said “hello…” at the end filled me with a joy I didn’t know I had 😭🥰
The resin dish is so phenomenal!!! It’s just darling!
Woah. It seemed like so much was going on in this video. I loved it though and the end results were all perfection👌
Omg, I had no idea it was so easy to press flowers. I’m so inspired. I’m gonna buy a kit and start pressing!
I love these and would deffo keep them. My late mum collected frogs and would have loved these too - thankyou for triggering a really happy memory on a day when I really needed it ❤
Love,love,love the frogs and the dish was awesome
This mold and final product gives my Thumbelina vibes with the frogs!!
Ahh! This is absolutely my favorite so far! I love them!!
Thank you for bringing me such a big smile this week. Everything was adorable!
Wow! You inspire me to experiment without fear! You love what you do and it is infectious. This was a wonderful reveal!
These are adorable! And I love the resin dish and the mug!
The lily pad is just perfect, what a brilliant idea. Plus I think the mug would look good with dried flowers in it. This is a really great reveal🐸
I'm glad the mold didn't break more. The frogs are so adorable and you did a amazing job!
I love these little frogs. I would also definitely love to have the little dish with the frogs on it. I don't really wear jewelry so it wouldn't be a jewelry dish. It would just be a cute decor I keep in my bathroom.
Awesome job! Love the dried flowers in there a lot
Love love love! Your love and passion is so infectious!
SO many good ideas, I love that you pursued them all!
So relaxing and calming
These frogs are so cute and sassy they would be cool as garden art either on wire stakes or as part of a hanging piece or windchime
Wow Shelby! I love every one of these projects but that marbling turned out gorgeous! They are all so cute and so are you, how excited you got made me smile 😊
This was so informative. We have a big box of these type of molds under the craft house where I work. I never knew what type material you when in them.
I just love these little guys!
