Was anyone else holding their breath while she was trying to get the lid off the teapot? It is so cute and shows how talented and the ability that you have achieved as you have been on this journey. Enjoy your new teapot!
I have a very special appreciation for the artistry behind pottery. I'm an archaeologist who specialises in Neolithic pottery and truly nothing beats the feeling of holding a piece of pottery that was last seen by human eyes thousands of years ago. Pottery is such a special, beautiful, long lasting and ancient art that I wish people today appreciated more.
I’m not even a pottery artist but I have just loved this series so much. This is a perfect 100th reveal. I think my favorite thing about it is how much you ended up loving your work.
Shelby’s excitement in this video is infectious. I am so happy for her and excited to have been here for the journey. The tea set is beautiful and a perfect expression for the series so far.
To be honest I'm quite sentimental about this, about what you do, too. I've been here since Mould number 2, which my friend sent me the link for, and ever since I was quite hooked on your videos. Your personality is so lovely, the way you talk and the way you put care and love to every pice you make, it's just a huge serotonin boost. Good job you, on all the beautiful creations you make.
Oh my gosh that is so amazing! Thank you for all your love and support for this creation and all the other creations that have come before! I can’t wait for 2023! 🌸
That is a beautiful tea set! And congratulations on receiving your 100k play button, it is a great achievement and I remember being just as excited as you when we received ours. You're completely right about the value of handmade pottery, it's like any other craft, half the cost is the time we take to make these one of a kind items. They don't just pop off the end of a conveyor belt in a factory!
Oh my gosh, you are amazing! Thank you for all your love and support for this creation and all the other creations that have come before! I can’t wait for 2023! 🌸 I am so happy you resonated with the experience of the award! It feels so lovely to have UA-cam recognise your efforts!
As both a fine and fibre artist who has sold their work, I absolutely get where you're coming from when it comes to selling your work. I've always had such trouble pricing my stuff and tend to undervalue because although others see my stuff as good, I see it as mediocre. I know we're told to price our time, but at the end of the day, if the skill isn't there, no one is going to buy it. This is strictly for me though. As for you Shelby, the skill is immaculate. You do have the skills so if someone complains about the price at this point it just means they aren't appreciative of the artistry and therefore aren't your people. Every artist has people, and seeing all the "sold" signs in your shop, the likes, comments, and over all success of and on your videos and channel, and your growing and evolving business shows that you have found your people. Watching you has tought me this, both all of the above and even the very concept of "your people." Anyway, try not to let the people who don't understand your pricing get you down. I mean did I go "woah" when seeing your prices for the first time? Yeah. Did it follow with "girl you get that bag"? Also yes lol. I can't afford such pricing myself, but I know that that's completely irrelevant and that just because I'm poor doesn't mean the items aren't worth it, because they absolutely are. I mean I can't afford a car, but I don't sit and go "that car is too expensive, they should lower their prices." No! I say "I'm too poor to afford a car, good thing I think they're terrible for the environment anyway. Lol. What I'm trying to get at here is that just because some people can't or don't want to spend that much on some absolutely gorgeous pottery doesn't mean said pottery isn't worth it. It's like, you wouldn't expect to get an original Van Gogh for the price of a cut out magizing centerfold of a minecraft ad. So don't complain to an artist about the price of their original works.
As an aussi, avid tea drinker and bee lover it makes me so happy to see these beautiful Australian flowers and sweet little bees on such an incredible mould this is definitely my favorite so far. I can't believe you've come this far, I admit I showed up around the 40 mark but I'm still amazed by how far this series has come. Thanks for the awesome hard work and all the incredible videos♥
I’m so proud of you!!! I almost started crying 😭 You have come so far and have stayed so true to yourself! I couldn’t agree more that this is a china cabinet item. I love that you made this for yourself and put so much of yourself into it. It’s such a beautiful thing to watch and thank you for allowing us in to watch and join you. We love you so much!!!
As an artist one of the best perspectives I ever heard when you value an artists work. When you purchase a piece of art, of any type, you aren't just buying the successes. You are purchasing all of the tears, the moments of pride, the failures and every hour the artist has sat just pondering all of the possibilities. It isn't just the time it took to create that one piece. It's hard to assign that much value to yourself, your hours of work and a completed piece and not feel egotistical. It has been such a beautiful thing to watch you evolve right along side of you. ❤️
I used to sell my pottery for some 10 years. It was so fun, challenging , educational and character building. Sadly my body at in my 50’s was starting to go into the usual down hill slide that happens to humans. I had gone back to school after an ugly divorce and needed to fill my art credit. I fell in love with clay and pottery! I have so enjoyed your growth and joy in discovering all your talent and passion for ceramics. CONGRATULATIONS! You will continue to to grow and fall deeper in love with your ART❤❤❤❤
The blooper at the end absolutely creased me 😂 This is such a stunning piece/set, really well done! Its been so fun seeing what you create 🤩 congratulations x
I think that her fearful cries were the result of the spider 🕷️ crawling on her fingers and the pottery that she didn't want to let go of. It sounds like she was able to get that crawling creature outside, finally! Well done! You didn't drop the treasure!
This is such a beautiful piece of artwork. Congrats on everything. You deserve it and so much more. This is one series I watch religiously. You are awesome.
I always love when you have Aussie native flowers on your work .. tea pots are also a favourite . I've loved watching your videos and watch with my grand kids 💛💚🦘💚💛
Shelby, I know exactly what you mean by pricing your art work, because it is handmade some people think it should be cheap as anything. People who crochet have the same problem, friends or someone ask them to make something and when they are given a price they are shocked because they don't stop to think of the cost of materials, time and the work that goes into handmade items.
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 It is so tricky with handmade items! Sometimes we just don't know the time and energy that went into objects and that's really hard but altogether as a community we can help educate those around us!
The same with quilters. The amount of creativity, time, effort and expense that goes into each phase of quilting is overlooked and under appreciated. I only made quilts for friends and family because I put too much of myself in them to think of them going to a stranger.
What a stunning tea set. As a fellow Aussie I'm so happy to see you representing the beautiful nature of Australia in your pieces. Congrats on your UA-cam plaque, what a great finish to this series. Well done Shelby.
This is the most beautiful teapot I’ve ever seen, but what makes it truly unique is the amazing artist that puts all of herself in every thing she makes, congratulations on the 100 and the button, and for whatever comes next
Such stunning pieces, I’m in awe of the flower design! I’ve watched so much GPTD so I can really imagine Keith holding the tea pot, starting to cry, saying “it’s fanTAStic!”
Can I just say how much I love your series. The bee teaset is just too cute . But I noticed a slight problem I am left handed and your cups are all right handed. The bees would be in the way when drinking .
We were literally all holding our breath when you were tapping that lid. Lol This set is absolutely beautiful!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUBSCRIBERS PLAQUE!!!!
Omg Shelby! It’s absolutely GORGEOUS! You have truly outdone yourself. This mystery mould series has been so fun to watch. I legit cried when you opened your UA-cam award. You have grown so much since the start and it’s been just awesome being able to come along for the ride. Well done Shelbs!!! 🎉
Oh my! I got all teary at the end! Big congrats on completing the series. Your videos are a highlight of my week and I even sometimes skip a few so I can binge watch. Can’t wait to see the new studio. Xx
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 I am so happy to hear they are your highlight! I am so grateful for you!
As someone who sews, I definitely understand the "how do i put a price on this?" thing. That's why I don't sew for other people. I sew for myself and as gifts to friends & family. But I could never do commissions, because I know that once I factored in the cost of all the various bits & pieces, plus trying to put a price on my time spent, no one would accept the quote. We've become very disconnected from the process of Making, because everything is made for us by nameless, faceless factory workers. We don't see the process, we don't know the people, so it is "out of sight, out of mind". --- But on a cheerier note, congrats on 100! Love a milestone. Very proud of you for sticking with it, for never giving up or fading out. You bring such joy to so many. Here's to 100 more!
I don’t know why, but the intro made me cry! It has been so much fun watching this series and I can’t wait for even more. I was diagnosed with leukemia around the same time that I found this channel a few months ago, and any time I need to smile I watch a few videos and seeing your creativeness brings me joy. So much joy!! Thank you for creating amazing content.
I love all your work and the bravery you had to do this with your life !! I have done pottery since I was like 5 and now am able to teach my children the art 🎨. It is just so close to my heart
Thank you for your words about not comparing hand made art to mass manufactured products. I am a quilter, and people don’t understand that a hand made quilt takes many many hours to make. It’s not going to cost the same as a blanket you find at a store. I totally agree with your sentiments about usable art. That’s why I love quilting so much because I get to enjoy and use my artwork! Congrats on 100! Such an amazing milestone. I can’t wait to see what comes next ❤❤
So I commented before the end of the video but I have to congratulate you on your UA-cam award! Well done, you have worked so hard and I cannot wait for series 2 ❤
Handmade does not mean manufactured.....it's the failures the time learning to perfect the thing! I'm currently crocheting a cloak for myself ...it's been a 2 year on and off journey or mistakes and fixes and just going "screw it"to mistakes. I don't plan on selling it but it has given me a better insight to why handmade sometimes costs as much as it does! Mine is a simple single stich while others are complex patterns I can't even read ! So you enjoy your sweet bees tea set Shelby....you have earned every drop of clay needed to make it and color it!🎉🎉🎉
You're crying, I'm not crying! It's amazing that someone so many thousands of miles away on my phone can bring me such joy and a connection. I am so proud of all you have accomplished and so happy for your success! I wish you many more successes and all the joy in the world is you so richly deserve that and much more. Here's to many more creative adventures...
Hurrah for the bees! 💕🐝💕 You pulled two things together for me today. The bee is my sign for my daughter, Laura, who died in April 2019. My mom (who died 1 month before my daughter) and I had in common the love of tea. I wanted a certain tea pot of hers, but someone else took it. It was a doggie standing on his back legs in the begging position. This tea pot was always used to make tea when we were sick. Thank you for this whole series! 💕🐝💕🐝💕
Congratulations Shelby, I have enjoyed your mystery mould adventure series very much. After finding you here on UA-cam, then bingeing your initial videos, I was hooked and had to tune in every Friday for your next reveal. You inspired me about a year ago to take up a course and now I enjoy making bits and bobs for everyone. I can’t wait to see you in your new studio, what a fantastic thing to do for yourself, you must be very proud. Merry Christmas and I look forward to watching series two 👏🏻
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 I am so happy these videos inspired you! That just makes me so very happy to hear!
Definitely feel the artist solidarity in hoping people see the value of pieces that are made by individual artisans. Whether it's pottery, knitting, embroidery, illustrations, paintings, or what have you, they all take not only the time it takes to make the piece but also the years and years it takes to be able to make the piece at that level. :) Thanks for bringing up that point! Art has value! And usually more value than we realize!
I went to a fun pottery night with my friend recently and it really did sink in how much work and skill goes into handmade works. Now I totally get how a stunning handmade coffee mug costs $50
Wow Shelby that is a fab set - such detail and artistry. Your joy in your art brings a little boost of happiness each week. Congrats on reaching 100 and I’m looking forward to chapter 2.
I'm so incredibly proud of you! You're such a skilled artist and such a pleasure to spend virtual time with. Congratulations on all the progress you've made and thank you for letting us all celebrate with you ❤️
I have so enjoyed watching you create such beautiful pieces! It has helped me remember my dear friend Rose Ann Segelle who has transitioned several years ago. A very talented artist, she worked for many hours each day in her basement with her kiln and ceramics. She also handnd painted wooden figures which were amazing! She gave up being in craft shows over 10 years ago when people were not willing to pay her prices because they could find mass produced items at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. It broke her heart for sure. I want to encourage you to keep creating and valuing your work. There are still people who value hand made items, creations, and your skills. Looking forward to the next season!!
Your work is so beautiful, your passion and enthusiasm for what you do shines through. The tea set is absolutely stunning. Congratulations on your UA-cam award it’s going to look fantastic in your new studio.
I can't believe you had to actually SMACK THE TEA POT! I was holding my breath. What a gorgeous set ♥️ I love that you spoke about prices of handmade items too. You're so sweet & caring, & just beautiful. Please don't stop making videos.
This is an absoloutely top-level tea set, gorgeous work. I'm sorry to hear you've had issues with the "why doesn't hours of work and years of skill-honing cost the same as something laser-printed and shipped by exploited labour" crowd, that's rubbish. It would have been good to see some of your friends there eating the cakes, but actually panning over a beautiful aesthetically-laid-out tea set with bee/flower decorations with a soundtrack of screaming about wasps is the best part of this video. So glad you're as proud of this hard work and lovely group of objects as they deserve, your enthusiasm alone is inspiring.
This came out absolutely fabulous, Shelby. Thank you so much for sharing this series with us. Congratulations on 100 mould openings and 100,000 subscribers. Today is August 10, 2023 and you've reached 291,000 subscribers recently. I started watching this series because your video where you sold out at your first market kept coming up in my recommendations. You and your journey have been so inspirational and cheerful. I am so glad to have found your channel.
I literally teared up when the lid popped off the teapot 🥲 Thank you Shelby for sharing your passion and your art with all of us. It is actually so inspiring.
Thank you for the fun and art-filled, talented journey. I’ve also done ceramics and I do other crafts such as quilting. The buyers never, NEVER know what went into the finished product. I don’t know how many times I have been offered $50 for a quilt that took me 300 hours and $350 of supplies and thought and process (and bleeding fingers and aching hands) to complete a one of a kind piece of art. I have loved every episode and I hope you buy more and share with us again.
I feel like the spirit of the person who had those moulds previously is cheering you on…and I’m not a very “woo-woo” spirit believing person at all. What a lovely set & you’ll love it for years to come! Congratulations on the UA-cam 100K too!
This is by far my favourite video. I laughed, I cried, felt a warm glow in my chest area when you were talking about the value of hand made art. I aged 5 years when you were tapping on the tea pot lid, held my breath, got heart palpatations and then felt light headed on releasing the breath. I realised I was moving in closer and closer to my screen watching your brush strokes. Got lock jaw when you were attaching the bees. Then absolutely blown away by the beauty of the whole set and your party and your gorjus frock and the glowing smile on your face- Ah wow.... You MUST be so proud of yourself, you are an amazing artist. Well done and Congratulations. Damn !! I LOVE that teapot ❣❣❤❤💜💜💙💙💛💛
I got the vapors watching your introduction too!🥹THEN I got the shivers when I saw this mold is a teapot… how perfect?! The little bees… TOO CUTE!! 🐝 I’m so happy to see you reach this milestone and cannot wait to what else is in store.🫶
i 100% agree, art has an unmeasurable value that cannot be replaced. whatever the art, pottery, canvas, stained glass, music, etc. its so hard to put a number value to art and the struggle is real when you have to compete with the mass manufactured.
Lots of kinds of artists are undervalued, luckly digital/non gallery artists (drawing, painting etc) are getting more recognition! I always admire any artists no matter the medium! Ceramics is an anchient craft and it’s still used now and can still be worth more than a $cost! Such an amazing design for 100! Can’t wait for when you continue in the new studio!!
IM SO PROUD!!!! I've been watching since number 50 and I'm so glad and so happy for you. I teared up watching the end I'm so glad you feel recognized and loved because we are out here loving and recognizing you!!!!! Go Shelby!!!!!!
I hear you on the time-thing. Weaver here. Just setting up the loom usually takes, let’s say 15-30 hours. And I’m not even doing particularly complicated stuff. Then comes the weaving. Cutting and sewing. Or just hemming. Washing and ironing or felting or whatever. Art is for sure a slow sport. And I think we’re all reponsible to remind each other, that real crafting takes time. And thus is more expensive and valuable. 👍❤️ Congrats on no. 100. And even more on your YT button. You truly deserve it! ❤️
Beautiful! As an artist I understand the value of creation! My good friend is a potter. I have a few of her pieces and everytime I use them they bring so much joy. She gave me a few throwing lessons on her wheel. I have a few wonky pieces and one perfect one! It's so precious to me! Handling this particular art form and knowing the process from mud to a solid usable item is so amazing. It adds beauty to my life that resonates deep in my soul.
Congratulations Shelby for reaching the 100th mystery mold. And for sharing your wonderful creations with us. We are so proud of you receiving your 100,000 subs plaque. 😊
I just found your channel tonight while trying to rest and get over a horrible migraine. Your talent and your positive energy brought a smile to my face and I could truly feel my spirits lift as I watched all 100 mystery mold reveals in one night. What fun! I can’t wait to keep watching.
Shelby, honorary granddaughter, you are wonderful! This video was a joy to watch. I am so glad you chose the bees and gum flowers for your 💯th mystery mold. I have loved gum flowers since you first painted one. It’s also appropriate because you bought your mystery molds on Gum Tree. It’s so special! You are special! Your tea set is FABULOUS. Thank you for hours of delight. Good luck in your next endeavors.
This design it's so uniquely Shelby that it needs to be the beginning of entire limited edition collection. There could be series in the ollection with different tiny stick-ons and Australian flowers for each series❤
In regard to the price of handmade and painted pottery, I’ve also noticed that artists of almost all mediums have really been struggling with pricing their artwork in a way that benefits them. Basically what I mean is that too many people are afraid of scaring of customers and so are underpricing their works, which I find a bit sad since they’re basically robbing themselves. I wish more artists weren’t in a position right now where mass production of items causes the general public to think that they can dictate what artwork should cost.
Many, many congratulations. I have watched this series religiously with my two young daughters since early lockdown and I can't tell you how much we used to look forward to Fridays during those early dark days when there didn't seem to be much to look forward to at all. You inspired us to be more creative and we love your work. All the very best as you close this chapter and I can't wait to see what the next one will look like. Your work on the pieces this week is uniquely lovely. I espcially love the little milk jugs.
SHELBY, you should be PROUD! I'm very PROUD OF YOU! TALENTED, VERY PATIENT, all leading up to a very NICE PERSON. Difinitely a GOOD HEARTED PERSON! ❤️❤️❤️
Oh my! I just finished this first season. I, too, cried at several points. This piece is truly the pinnacle of the series so far and the most beautiful. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you, and I look forward to many more triumphs.
I crochet and people have no clue how much time & money creating a piece takes. They get outraged when you charge what its actually worth or even if you just charged what it costs you in supplies. So I totally understand what you were saying about trying to figure out what to charge.
I've always seen buying handmade art as buying someone's time and effort. (and of course the price of products used is always there) I always try to buy from smaller artists. They try so hard to make things look perfect and beautiful. I can't wait for the day I am able to buy a piece of yours. They're always so stunning.
Just amazing. I really understand how emotional this milestone is. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. It’s been a delight to follow and I really look forward to to your posts. ❤
Wow what a fantastic 100th mold video! And a huge congratulations on your 100k youtube plaque. Your work is so special and the tea set was just a perfect representation of you as an artist. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, i can't wait to see what the future holds for you 💕
Shelby, I am so proud of you and happy for you!!! We've been with you from the beginning and my husband and I just teared up watching this. I am so happy that you did your style, your beautiful florals on this one! And the blue bees! And that you did other molds with it! And the shirt!!!!! Congratulations on all you have accomplished! You have done so much with these 100 molds, and I can't wait to see where you go from here!
It is really interesting to me, that you talk about how this is comparable to a painting and it should be looked at and only used for special occasions. Because: I feel quite different about my handmade pieces. (I weave and think about a pottery class, when my kids are finally in kindergarden) I think they should be used. I spin my own yarn, I weave my own cloth and I sew and I love these things to be used and used up. They are sturdy, they last very long. But I really love the idea, that they are used time and time again, after I spend hours and hours building something useful
Even the wasp at the end of the video appreciated your flowers and wanted a taste of them 😊 Congratulations on this beautiful piece of artwork. I’ll be waiting for your next season.
What a lovely person she is and oh how much I’ve enjoyed following these videos I’m recovering from two major surgeries in 4 months and her lovely cheery nature and awesome talent with all the colourful fun pottery revealed has truly brightened up my life so from a little old lady I’m sending a very big THANKYOU !!
I am so thankful for you to share this entire series with us. I have been here from mould 1. It's been such a wild ride seeing where you started, watching you try new techniques, and make pieces you never thought you could. The breaks, the fails, the joys in all that comes with experimenting. Thanks for letting us ride along with this series.
I agree- a skilled artist is selling not only their time on a piece, but years of experience and education. The more skill- the more valuable the piece. Shelby makes it look easy- but just try painting on a rough surface with gloppy media- not so easy, The pot is magnificent. And pottery is like oil paint on canvas- you get one chance- you don't get to erase!!
Was anyone else holding their breath while she was trying to get the lid off the teapot? It is so cute and shows how talented and the ability that you have achieved as you have been on this journey. Enjoy your new teapot!
I was so scared!
I couldn’t watch. I put my hands over my eyes.
Yup! I was so nervous!!
I was like "oh no, oh no, please no" but everything is fine now hahaha
I LOVE her stuff. It's inspiring.
I have a very special appreciation for the artistry behind pottery. I'm an archaeologist who specialises in Neolithic pottery and truly nothing beats the feeling of holding a piece of pottery that was last seen by human eyes thousands of years ago.
Pottery is such a special, beautiful, long lasting and ancient art that I wish people today appreciated more.
I’m not even a pottery artist but I have just loved this series so much. This is a perfect 100th reveal. I think my favorite thing about it is how much you ended up loving your work.
Exactly
Shelby’s excitement in this video is infectious. I am so happy for her and excited to have been here for the journey. The tea set is beautiful and a perfect expression for the series so far.
To be honest I'm quite sentimental about this, about what you do, too. I've been here since Mould number 2, which my friend sent me the link for, and ever since I was quite hooked on your videos.

As an aussi, avid tea drinker and bee lover it makes me so happy to see these beautiful Australian flowers and sweet little bees on such an incredible mould this is definitely my favorite so far.
I can't believe you've come this far, I admit I showed up around the 40 mark but I'm still amazed by how far this series has come.
Thanks for the awesome hard work and all the incredible videos♥
I was so excited to see the bees come back, especially the BLUE ones!!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼

I LOVE THIS! THIS IS AN EXCELLENT WAY TO LOOK AT IT!
I used to sell my pottery for some 10 years. It was so fun, challenging , educational and character building. Sadly my body at in my 50’s was starting to go into the usual down hill slide that happens to humans. I had gone back to school after an ugly divorce and needed to fill my art credit. I fell in love with clay and pottery! I have so enjoyed your growth and joy in discovering all your talent and passion for ceramics. CONGRATULATIONS! You will continue to to grow and fall deeper in love with your ART❤❤❤❤
The blooper at the end absolutely creased me 😂 This is such a stunning piece/set, really well done! Its been so fun seeing what you create 🤩 congratulations x
I think that her fearful cries were the result of the spider 🕷️ crawling on her fingers and the pottery that she didn't want to let go of. It sounds like she was able to get that crawling creature outside, finally!
Well done! You didn't drop the treasure!

I always love when you have Aussie native flowers on your work .. tea pots are also a favourite .
I've loved watching your videos and watch with my grand kids

Shelby, I know exactly what you mean by pricing your art work, because it is handmade some people think it should be cheap as anything. People who crochet have the same problem, friends or someone ask them to make something and when they are given a price they are shocked because they don't stop to think of the cost of materials, time and the work that goes into handmade items.
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 It is so tricky with handmade items! Sometimes we just don't know the time and energy that went into objects and that's really hard but altogether as a community we can help educate those around us!
The same with quilters. The amount of creativity, time, effort and expense that goes into each phase of quilting is overlooked and under appreciated. I only made quilts for friends and family because I put too much of myself in them to think of them going to a stranger.
What a stunning tea set. As a fellow Aussie I'm so happy to see you representing the beautiful nature of Australia in your pieces. Congrats on your UA-cam plaque, what a great finish to this series. Well done Shelby.
Your 100th was spectacular! I’m so happy you will be continuing. I look forward to your next series.
Thank you so so much for your love 🌸🌼
This is the most beautiful teapot I’ve ever seen, but what makes it truly unique is the amazing artist that puts all of herself in every thing she makes, congratulations on the 100 and the button, and for whatever comes next
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your joy and beautiful art with us!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼

Congratulations on 100 👏👏👏👏👏 and how wonderful that your plaque came just in time 🥰
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
Such stunning pieces, I’m in awe of the flower design! I’ve watched so much GPTD so I can really imagine Keith holding the tea pot, starting to cry, saying “it’s fanTAStic!”
Can I just say how much I love your series. The bee teaset is just too cute . But I noticed a slight problem I am left handed and your cups are all right handed. The bees would be in the way when drinking .
We were literally all holding our breath when you were tapping that lid. Lol This set is absolutely beautiful!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR SUBSCRIBERS PLAQUE!!!!
Omg Shelby! It’s absolutely GORGEOUS! You have truly outdone yourself. This mystery mould series has been so fun to watch. I legit cried when you opened your UA-cam award. You have grown so much since the start and it’s been just awesome being able to come along for the ride. Well done Shelbs!!! 🎉
Oh wow! The designs this time are especially beautiful. I love how you made matching cups and saucers!
Thank you so so much 🌸🌼
Speechless. This set is such a special celebration of our pollinators! 🐝
Oh my! I got all teary at the end! Big congrats on completing the series. Your videos are a highlight of my week and I even sometimes skip a few so I can binge watch. Can’t wait to see the new studio. Xx
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 I am so happy to hear they are your highlight! I am so grateful for you!
you have no idea how proud of you we are, Every one of your films are such a joy to watch!
Thank you so much for taking us on this journey with you! All your hard work ,time love, passion , effort, thank you!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
As someone who sews, I definitely understand the "how do i put a price on this?" thing. That's why I don't sew for other people. I sew for myself and as gifts to friends & family. But I could never do commissions, because I know that once I factored in the cost of all the various bits & pieces, plus trying to put a price on my time spent, no one would accept the quote. We've become very disconnected from the process of Making, because everything is made for us by nameless, faceless factory workers. We don't see the process, we don't know the people, so it is "out of sight, out of mind". --- But on a cheerier note, congrats on 100! Love a milestone. Very proud of you for sticking with it, for never giving up or fading out. You bring such joy to so many. Here's to 100 more!
Oh they're so beautiful Shel. Quite the suitabe capstone on this absolute gem of a series.
Thank you so so much for your love 🌸🌼
I don’t know why, but the intro made me cry! It has been so much fun watching this series and I can’t wait for even more. I was diagnosed with leukemia around the same time that I found this channel a few months ago, and any time I need to smile I watch a few videos and seeing your creativeness brings me joy. So much joy!! Thank you for creating amazing content.
This is so cute. You've grown a lot, not only as an artist, but also as a video producer and it really shows. Looking forward to the next chapter!
Watching this video made my heart soar!!!
You are such an inspiration
Thank you so so much! 🌸🌼
I love all your work and the bravery you had to do this with your life !! I have done pottery since I was like 5 and now am able to teach my children the art 🎨. It is just so close to my heart
This turned out so pretty aaaaahhhh, I’ve got to show my mum she’s like the ultimate tea drinker also obsessed with pretty teapots
What a beautiful finale! Congratulations and thank you for sharing the journey! The teapot is amazing!
Thank you so so much for your love 🌸🌼
Thank you for your words about not comparing hand made art to mass manufactured products. I am a quilter, and people don’t understand that a hand made quilt takes many many hours to make. It’s not going to cost the same as a blanket you find at a store.
I totally agree with your sentiments about usable art. That’s why I love quilting so much because I get to enjoy and use my artwork!
Congrats on 100! Such an amazing milestone. I can’t wait to see what comes next ❤❤
So I commented before the end of the video but I have to congratulate you on your UA-cam award! Well done, you have worked so hard and I cannot wait for series 2 ❤
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
Handmade does not mean manufactured.....it's the failures the time learning to perfect the thing! I'm currently crocheting a cloak for myself ...it's been a 2 year on and off journey or mistakes and fixes and just going "screw it"to mistakes. I don't plan on selling it but it has given me a better insight to why handmade sometimes costs as much as it does! Mine is a simple single stich while others are complex patterns I can't even read !
So you enjoy your sweet bees tea set Shelby....you have earned every drop of clay needed to make it and color it!🎉🎉🎉
I'm so excited to see a teapot and you made it so adorable! Congrats on 100 pieces and 100k subscriptions!
Thank you so so much, I am just so happy you are here to enjoy these with me! 🌸🌼
You're crying, I'm not crying! It's amazing that someone so many thousands of miles away on my phone can bring me such joy and a connection. I am so proud of all you have accomplished and so happy for your success! I wish you many more successes and all the joy in the world is you so richly deserve that and much more. Here's to many more creative adventures...
This setting is so amazingly incredibly beautiful. It is stunning
Thank you so so much 🌸🌼
Hurrah for the bees! 💕🐝💕 You pulled two things together for me today. The bee is my sign for my daughter, Laura, who died in April 2019. My mom (who died 1 month before my daughter) and I had in common the love of tea. I wanted a certain tea pot of hers, but someone else took it. It was a doggie standing on his back legs in the begging position. This tea pot was always used to make tea when we were sick. Thank you for this whole series! 💕🐝💕🐝💕
Congratulations Shelby, I have enjoyed your mystery mould adventure series very much.
After finding you here on UA-cam, then bingeing your initial videos, I was hooked and had to tune in every Friday for your next reveal.
You inspired me about a year ago to take up a course and now I enjoy making bits and bobs for everyone.
I can’t wait to see you in your new studio, what a fantastic thing to do for yourself, you must be very proud.
Merry Christmas and I look forward to watching series two 👏🏻
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼 I am so happy these videos inspired you! That just makes me so very happy to hear!
I Love this whimsical tea set! Such an absolute joy!
Congratulations on both types of 100! This one is beautiful you can really see how much love you put into the pattern it’s gorgeous
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
Definitely feel the artist solidarity in hoping people see the value of pieces that are made by individual artisans. Whether it's pottery, knitting, embroidery, illustrations, paintings, or what have you, they all take not only the time it takes to make the piece but also the years and years it takes to be able to make the piece at that level. :) Thanks for bringing up that point! Art has value! And usually more value than we realize!
Wonderful Journey!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
I went to a fun pottery night with my friend recently and it really did sink in how much work and skill goes into handmade works. Now I totally get how a stunning handmade coffee mug costs $50
Wow Shelby that is a fab set - such detail and artistry. Your joy in your art brings a little boost of happiness each week. Congrats on reaching 100 and I’m looking forward to chapter 2.
congratulations Shelby 100th mystery mold. 100 000 subscribers button and your new studio.
I'm so incredibly proud of you! You're such a skilled artist and such a pleasure to spend virtual time with. Congratulations on all the progress you've made and thank you for letting us all celebrate with you ❤️
I have so enjoyed watching you create such beautiful pieces! It has helped me remember my dear friend Rose Ann Segelle who has transitioned several years ago. A very talented artist, she worked for many hours each day in her basement with her kiln and ceramics. She also handnd painted wooden figures which were amazing! She gave up being in craft shows over 10 years ago when people were not willing to pay her prices because they could find mass produced items at Michael's or Hobby Lobby. It broke her heart for sure. I want to encourage you to keep creating and valuing your work. There are still people who value hand made items, creations, and your skills. Looking forward to the next season!!
Your work is so beautiful, your passion and enthusiasm for what you do shines through. The tea set is absolutely stunning. Congratulations on your UA-cam award it’s going to look fantastic in your new studio.
I can't believe you had to actually SMACK THE TEA POT! I was holding my breath. What a gorgeous set ♥️
I love that you spoke about prices of handmade items too. You're so sweet & caring, & just beautiful. Please don't stop making videos.
Congrats Shelby! It looked gorgeous, such a special design, I loved the little bees so much! Also, that dress at the end? Soooo pretty!!!!!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
I’ve got proud mum feelings. Im not your mum, but I have this maternal pride in you! You deserve every wonderful thing coming your way x
Happy 100!!!! So amazing!!! Love you and your little creations 🥰🥰🥰
Thank you so so much, I am just so happy you are here to enjoy these with me! 🌸🌼
This is an absoloutely top-level tea set, gorgeous work. I'm sorry to hear you've had issues with the "why doesn't hours of work and years of skill-honing cost the same as something laser-printed and shipped by exploited labour" crowd, that's rubbish. It would have been good to see some of your friends there eating the cakes, but actually panning over a beautiful aesthetically-laid-out tea set with bee/flower decorations with a soundtrack of screaming about wasps is the best part of this video. So glad you're as proud of this hard work and lovely group of objects as they deserve, your enthusiasm alone is inspiring.
Beautiful soul ❤ this has been such an inspiration and joy to watch. 😊
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
Came for the 100 mould, got a whole tea set!!!
Love it!!! ❤️❤️❤️👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Congrats on getting to 100,000!!!
Can’t wait to see your next video!!!
Amazing!! Love this series, keep going!!
Thank you so so much for your love on the series I am so grateful for your love and support! 🌸🌼
I wish I could like this 100 times!
This came out absolutely fabulous, Shelby. Thank you so much for sharing this series with us. Congratulations on 100 mould openings and 100,000 subscribers.
Today is August 10, 2023 and you've reached 291,000 subscribers recently. I started watching this series because your video where you sold out at your first market kept coming up in my recommendations. You and your journey have been so inspirational and cheerful. I am so glad to have found your channel.
I literally teared up when the lid popped off the teapot 🥲
Thank you Shelby for sharing your passion and your art with all of us. It is actually so inspiring.
Thank you for the fun and art-filled, talented journey. I’ve also done ceramics and I do other crafts such as quilting. The buyers never, NEVER know what went into the finished product. I don’t know how many times I have been offered $50 for a quilt that took me 300 hours and $350 of supplies and thought and process (and bleeding fingers and aching hands) to complete a one of a kind piece of art. I have loved every episode and I hope you buy more and share with us again.
I feel like the spirit of the person who had those moulds previously is cheering you on…and I’m not a very “woo-woo” spirit believing person at all. What a lovely set & you’ll love it for years to come! Congratulations on the UA-cam 100K too!
This is by far my favourite video. I laughed, I cried, felt a warm glow in my chest area when you were talking about the value of hand made art. I aged 5 years when you were tapping on the tea pot lid, held my breath, got heart palpatations and then felt light headed on releasing the breath. I realised I was moving in closer and closer to my screen watching your brush strokes. Got lock jaw when you were attaching the bees. Then absolutely blown away by the beauty of the whole set and your party and your gorjus frock and the glowing smile on your face- Ah wow.... You MUST be so proud of yourself, you are an amazing artist. Well done and Congratulations. Damn !! I LOVE that teapot ❣❣❤❤💜💜💙💙💛💛
I got the vapors watching your introduction too!🥹THEN I got the shivers when I saw this mold is a teapot… how perfect?! The little bees… TOO CUTE!! 🐝 I’m so happy to see you reach this milestone and cannot wait to what else is in store.🫶
i 100% agree, art has an unmeasurable value that cannot be replaced. whatever the art, pottery, canvas, stained glass, music, etc. its so hard to put a number value to art and the struggle is real when you have to compete with the mass manufactured.
Lots of kinds of artists are undervalued, luckly digital/non gallery artists (drawing, painting etc) are getting more recognition! I always admire any artists no matter the medium! Ceramics is an anchient craft and it’s still used now and can still be worth more than a $cost!
Such an amazing design for 100! Can’t wait for when you continue in the new studio!!
IM SO PROUD!!!! I've been watching since number 50 and I'm so glad and so happy for you. I teared up watching the end I'm so glad you feel recognized and loved because we are out here loving and recognizing you!!!!! Go Shelby!!!!!!
I hear you on the time-thing. Weaver here. Just setting up the loom usually takes, let’s say 15-30 hours. And I’m not even doing particularly complicated stuff. Then comes the weaving. Cutting and sewing. Or just hemming. Washing and ironing or felting or whatever. Art is for sure a slow sport. And I think we’re all reponsible to remind each other, that real crafting takes time. And thus is more expensive and valuable. 👍❤️
Congrats on no. 100. And even more on your YT button. You truly deserve it! ❤️
Beautiful!
As an artist I understand the value of creation!
My good friend is a potter. I have a few of her pieces and everytime I use them they bring so much joy.
She gave me a few throwing lessons on her wheel. I have a few wonky pieces and one perfect one! It's so precious to me!
Handling this particular art form and knowing the process from mud to a solid usable item is so amazing.
It adds beauty to my life that resonates deep in my soul.
Congratulations Shelby for reaching the 100th mystery mold. And for sharing your wonderful creations with us. We are so proud of you receiving your 100,000 subs plaque. 😊
I just found your channel tonight while trying to rest and get over a horrible migraine. Your talent and your positive energy brought a smile to my face and I could truly feel my spirits lift as I watched all 100 mystery mold reveals in one night. What fun! I can’t wait to keep watching.
Shelby, honorary granddaughter, you are wonderful! This video was a joy to watch. I am so glad you chose the bees and gum flowers for your 💯th mystery mold. I have loved gum flowers since you first painted one. It’s also appropriate because you bought your mystery molds on Gum Tree. It’s so special! You are special! Your tea set is FABULOUS. Thank you for hours of delight. Good luck in your next endeavors.
This design it's so uniquely Shelby that it needs to be the beginning of entire limited edition collection. There could be series in the ollection with different tiny stick-ons and Australian flowers for each series❤
Every week I think "oh this is the best one" and then you outdo yourself again and again. So in love with your creativity !
Not skipping a second in your video shows how much I like you doing and talking but the kind you were with spider… sister that got my ❤….
In regard to the price of handmade and painted pottery, I’ve also noticed that artists of almost all mediums have really been struggling with pricing their artwork in a way that benefits them. Basically what I mean is that too many people are afraid of scaring of customers and so are underpricing their works, which I find a bit sad since they’re basically robbing themselves. I wish more artists weren’t in a position right now where mass production of items causes the general public to think that they can dictate what artwork should cost.
Many, many congratulations. I have watched this series religiously with my two young daughters since early lockdown and I can't tell you how much we used to look forward to Fridays during those early dark days when there didn't seem to be much to look forward to at all. You inspired us to be more creative and we love your work. All the very best as you close this chapter and I can't wait to see what the next one will look like.
Your work on the pieces this week is uniquely lovely. I espcially love the little milk jugs.
SHELBY, you should be PROUD! I'm very PROUD OF YOU! TALENTED, VERY PATIENT, all leading up to a very NICE PERSON. Difinitely a GOOD HEARTED PERSON! ❤️❤️❤️
I’m not crying.. you’re crying!
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing your amazing journey.
Oh my! I just finished this first season. I, too, cried at several points. This piece is truly the pinnacle of the series so far and the most beautiful. Thanks for taking us on this journey with you, and I look forward to many more triumphs.
I crochet and people have no clue how much time & money creating a piece takes. They get outraged when you charge what its actually worth or even if you just charged what it costs you in supplies. So I totally understand what you were saying about trying to figure out what to charge.
I've always seen buying handmade art as buying someone's time and effort. (and of course the price of products used is always there) I always try to buy from smaller artists. They try so hard to make things look perfect and beautiful. I can't wait for the day I am able to buy a piece of yours. They're always so stunning.
What a glorious celebration of this milestone. You're an amazingly gifted young woman. May you continue to grow in grace and wisdom.
Just amazing. I really understand how emotional this milestone is. Thank you so much for sharing this journey. It’s been a delight to follow and I really look forward to to your posts. ❤
Wow what a fantastic 100th mold video! And a huge congratulations on your 100k youtube plaque. Your work is so special and the tea set was just a perfect representation of you as an artist. Thank you for sharing your journey with us, i can't wait to see what the future holds for you 💕
Shelby, I am so proud of you and happy for you!!! We've been with you from the beginning and my husband and I just teared up watching this. I am so happy that you did your style, your beautiful florals on this one! And the blue bees! And that you did other molds with it! And the shirt!!!!! Congratulations on all you have accomplished! You have done so much with these 100 molds, and I can't wait to see where you go from here!
Congratulations on 100 all round. The teapot and its artwork is stunning!! Thank you .
🤩🤩🤩 Thank you!
It is really interesting to me, that you talk about how this is comparable to a painting and it should be looked at and only used for special occasions. Because: I feel quite different about my handmade pieces. (I weave and think about a pottery class, when my kids are finally in kindergarden) I think they should be used. I spin my own yarn, I weave my own cloth and I sew and I love these things to be used and used up. They are sturdy, they last very long. But I really love the idea, that they are used time and time again, after I spend hours and hours building something useful
Even the wasp at the end of the video appreciated your flowers and wanted a taste of them 😊
Congratulations on this beautiful piece of artwork. I’ll be waiting for your next season.
I love these. Looking forward to seeing the next 100.
🤩🤩🤩 Thank you!
@@ShelbySherritt Those mice would find plenty of snow here in England to play on. Merry Christmas from Snowy Britain.
What a lovely person she is and oh how much I’ve enjoyed following these videos I’m recovering from two major surgeries in 4 months and her lovely cheery nature and awesome talent with all the colourful fun pottery revealed has truly brightened up my life so from a little old lady I’m sending a very big THANKYOU !!
I am so thankful for you to share this entire series with us. I have been here from mould 1. It's been such a wild ride seeing where you started, watching you try new techniques, and make pieces you never thought you could. The breaks, the fails, the joys in all that comes with experimenting. Thanks for letting us ride along with this series.
I agree- a skilled artist is selling not only their time on a piece, but years of experience and education. The more skill- the more valuable the piece. Shelby makes it look easy- but just try painting on a rough surface with gloppy media- not so easy, The pot is magnificent. And pottery is like oil paint on canvas- you get one chance- you don't get to erase!!
