Mould 45 - Revealing Moulds I found on Gumtree

- This is the series where I reveal what is inside these pottery moulds I found on Gumtree.
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,

Doing these as Care Bears would be super cute!
So now we know that “dingle dangle” is the actual term for those things growing out of the bear’s face 😂 I am sure surprised with this anatomy lesson. You are the best, Shelby!
😂😂
Lol dingle dangle!
Nice. LOL. That is what I was thinking too.
From what I remember, these bears would sit on a shelf with their legs dangling over the shelf. I graduated in 87. 😂 They would have been painted as Care Bears and sit with the legs dangling. You could make the holes and use C rings after the kiln.
I just love your channel! ❤ Your art work is beautiful and you have such and uplifting personality! 😁
Charming. I was mildly disconcerted by the term 'dingle-dangle'. lol
That word paired with the thing on its face 😂😭🤦🏼♀️ oh no 🙈
@@ShelbySherritt 😂😂 Haha, yup I love your honesty. This video really cracked me up. I'm a teddy bear fan but they definitely need a different muzzle and a new name🤣😅
@@ShelbySherritt 🤣
I appreciate how committed you are to trying out each mould, even if it's not something that brings you joy.
Shelf Danglers! my mom and i use to do them in ceramics when i was younger. we used wires on the bodies as well or just plain rough string through them and tied off to the legs. you did it beautifully!
Like puppet bears with loose arms and legs
Is anyone else getting anxious that we are running out of moulds?
We could send her mystery moulds if she's starting to run out!
I calmed myself by thinking that she would get more.
@@Happytravellerkimmy great idea
@@A.L.75 This is true
She got over 300 molds at the time. She is only a third of the way through at last count and that has taken over 2 years. We should be good for about 4 more years at this rate.
I have been watching the playlist of these for the past 4 hrs 😅 every time I say that I am going to turn it off and go to bed you show what mold you are going to do next and my curiosity gets the best of me. I absolutely love watching you paint them, I hope you do more videos where it is just quiet music with you painting, it is extremely relaxing.
When you're putting on the freckles I couldn't stop laughing 😂😂😂. This series is so cool!
Ahahahha I am so glad you enjoyed that little extra touch 😂 thank you!!! I’m so happy you are enjoying the series!
It’s pretty cool that there have been so few “dud” molds so far! At the start of your series I kinda expected most of the mounds to be this sort of kitschy figurine, I hope the trend of cool, usable items continues!
They would look so cute as Christmas decorations! With little themed red and green t-shirts hanging off a tree or "Elf of the shelf" style hidden around the room. Super cute and you did them so well!
I feel like this is the most intricate mold I've ever seen. So many tiny pieces. You did so well sticking to it and painting them all and putting it all together
I love them. I made a similar bunny out of wood in the `90s. A hole was drilled in each limb and a ribbon used to tie them on. (Their muzzles do look a bit questionable.)
Oh wow that actually sounds really beautiful! I would love to see it one day! I’m so glad you can see it too! I just couldn’t ahahah
I loved the color palette you picked for these bears 🐻💖 they do have unfortunate muzzles 😂 but if you ever made them again I think you could trim that down successfully! I still think they turned out cute 😄
My grandma always did acrylic painting on the bisque. And I will forever love that style more. We called them "glass samics" and I grew up painting them and now I make my own sculptures and hand paint them.
For what it's worth you made them really cute, especially the hooded one :~) My family is big into antiques and I grew up with at least a few dingle-dangle knick-knacks, but usually they were wooden or cloth. I think you were right to embed the wire loop into the pieces that didn't have holes; if you wanted a bit more structure for the joints, using more wire embedded in the side as a loop instead of thread through the body would help them not wave around as much, but I don't blame you for not wanting to cast them again lol
I really appreciate how honest you are with your work! Kudos for your commitment to finish each piece- that is an amazing quality to model! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
They turned out really cute! I love bears so these past two videos made me happy!
The number of holes was kind of jaw-dropping. How cute of a result though. Yeah, I think they are meant to be windchimes (unless it's a shelf/mantlepiece decor, like someone else suggested, that just sits). My mom has a ceramic windchime, it has a bell shape at the top and a whole bunch of doves that hang from it at different lengths. It's not very musical, but still very pretty. --- LMAO! Yes. I see the...inappropriate...bear face. What an unfortunate snout! But, well, it is called a dingle dangle after all. XD --- I'm familiar with the acrylic method, because my grandmother used to take me to painting events at a studio near her house. I would pick out a premade piece, paint it with acrylic, then paint it with a "glaze", and get to take it home that day. It's nice for little kids who are impatient for results.
Your face at the end when you held up the 2 bears says it all, Shelby. Thank you for sharing your adventures yet again, but the bits on the bears' faces are truly unfortunate.
I appreciate your commitment to doing these. Even if the results are not as bad as you may have thought you kept going !
These things have a super nostalgic feeling to me and I don’t know why. And as you were painting mama bear’s kerchief blue, my mind was going “it should be red” for some reason? They remind me of these little dangly dolls people used to make that would sit on the edge of a shelf and their little limbs would dangle over the edge of the shelf. I always found them a bit weird and creepy.
i love these moulds that get to be mysteries for you too! it's exciting for me, so i like that you get to feel that excitement.
In the USA these type of knick knacks are sold as Shelf Sitters. Their legs and arms are connected with a metal loop like you made, one in the body and one in each arm or leg. I have them for different holidays. Some have twine through the loops and a couple have metal jump rings through the loops.
I love the little shelf sitters, they look like Care Bears!
I was thinking the same thing with their bellies!
I love this concept and could see them sold as a diy kit. fun for the family. I agree that the faces were quite strange, but I am curious to see it in your style
Super impressed Shelby how you made lemonade out of that lemon of a mold. It is definitely a part of a different aesthetic from another time. The legs & arms would be tied in with leather or twine (rough string) and seated in the shelf. Good choice doing the acrylics a glaze would be even farther away from the original. Love how you explain and make things work so we can see your art. 💜
Hello Shelby...have been really enjoying binge watching your "back catalogue" on your channel. I did some ceramics as part of a Dip Teach a 100 years ago and to prevent holes being glazed over (in pepper shakers etc) we used wax or thread the straw out of a straw broom in there...it burns away in the kiln.
Going to keep watching you...in a Ballarat lock down with a broken hand and ribs and looks like snow! Stay safe xx
Lol , I thought the muzzle looked like an upside down heart . I didn't see anything "inappropriate" until you mentioned it and now I can't unsee it !🤣🤣🤣
Your perseverance is commendable. I would have chucked that mold and the single dangles real quick. 😁
I know such dingly dangle stuff
Its often used as a garden decoration here because u can put them in a sitting position
Love your videos shelby, and love how you can make mistakes too! Lol, thankyou for sharing, my bedtime go to every night x
I use acrylic paint on all my rocks and put 2 coats of varnish for a finish and they turn out perfect with great protection. And would use fishing line to connect the parts. But as you said they would be to finicky for me also. They are cute. I love watching your reveals and your technique
This is wonderful feedback! I think I should trial some varnishes to see how they hold up on the weather but this gives me so much confidence! Thank you! I agree fishing line would have been better but this was all I had at home so improvising hehe! Thank you so much!!
They would be really cute as patchwork teddy bears, you could be really creative with patterns
Another great video! Love the funny ballsack bears 😊
Air compressors do always sound aggressive!!! I love your series. You’re the best Shelby. ❤️
Thank you for the explanation about using acrylic paints. I inherited a complete nativity set after my mom died that she had painted with the acrylics back in the 70s. It wasn’t quite fully painted yet, so I was unsure how to go about finishing it. Now I know! Thank you.
I have ceramic pottery ornaments we did as children at a potent place by our house in the late 1970’s that still look brand new. I still put them on my Christmas tree.
First! Love the channel, great content as always Shelby!
Thank you so much Dustin! I am so grateful for your support!
Oh, those muzzles look so suggestive I can barely tell what else they could possibly have been going for! You made the best of it but I agree that it's an odd mould.
This is how my grandmother taught her children's classes so its how I learned. I wish I had someone to do this with and help me learn the glazes
They look like little shelf sitters like these figurines. The legs are attached with cord that I imagine on these bears would go in one solid piece from one limb, straight through the back, then into the hole next to it and then right back out to the next limb. The cord would kinda look like a *U* where the bear’s body is facing away from you and is set in the bend of the U.
(I’ve tried to comment this 3 times, maybe this time will work? I’m adding the link below)
Curses!! It keeps deleting my comments. I’m gonna send a dm on Instagram then. Cuz I think the dangly dolls are really cute.
I am looking forward to seeing the photo! I really couldn’t find much online with the mould number and name so I’m so curious! Ugh sorry CZcams is deleting your comments! I do have comment restrictions on now so that might be why!? I have to approve the comments on the channel! I’m curious to see this U shape! If you do have a link, send it to me on Instagram and I can pop it in the comments here too!
Here is the link for anyone who is curious:

Definitely a lesson in how flagile plaster can be! A long since passed moth can still cause a lot of damage!
Hello! You are all much better detectives than I am! I have been sent a few links to this now but for some reason it is not allowing you all to comment it! So here we go for anyone that is curious! debmark.com/molds/CM/images/0443.jpg
Funny how spot on your interpretation was!
yes i think that with one big loop for each extremedy and maybe changing the weird part of the face you could give them your style. maybe when you run out of this moulds you could do a revisit series when you try diferent things or fix things you didnt knew before
Oh my, they are terrifying in that photo.
@@CuriousCabinet exactly what I thought!
They look cute, and I love the lighter colours they used, but the face still reminds me of a dogs behind.
When I was a kid, my dad painted little ceramic buildings to make a Christmas village. They were kind of like 3D paint by numbers with a list of the paint colors needed and a diagram indicating which color went where. I still have some of the paints from back then mixed into my collection of acrylic paints. Maybe I'll try painting one myself sometime. I don't know where my dad's buildings ended up after all these years.
I've had seen figures with similar "lose limbs" that are fastened to the body by ribbons or string, obviously you'd just poke the holes early on and attach the limbs once done with the final firing, but the figures are then meant to sit on a shelf and dangle their limbs. The ones I've seen have been pretty cute!
They are so sweet!
I can understand with how fiddly they are why you wouldn’t want to make them again.
But despite that they came out lovely!
Thank you!! I really appreciate this so much!
@@ShelbySherritt you’re so welcome! This is the best part of my week!
I’m from the state of Utah in the United States. I love the way you talk. I’m with you on this mould, it’s not a keeper. My mother-in-law had a kiln so we have a lot of ceramics that she made. She has passed and they mean a lot to us. I love your videos. Maybe you could show us a little bit of where you live. Australia 🇦🇺 is on my bucket list.
I thought these looked like either the 3 bears from Goldie locks or little care bears with the hearts on the chests, i think these would be awesome in different colours like the care bears xxx
I saw the quick clip of this video on Instagram first and when I saw the bears face, I thought what you thought! Lol, even funnier when you put the black specks on it!😹
I haven't seen those bears. But I've seen similar ceramic pieces, like turtles with wiggly legs and head, that are similar. The turtles were on their bellies w/ the legs suspended in the shell, with wire hoops (like your bear legs) inside the shell, and little hooks on the legs.
I think that would be the best approach w/ these bears as well. Put the wire loops in the bottom of the body, and make hooks to go in the legs. You could even bend a piece of wire so each end is parallel, twist the open ends w/ pliers, and use that to make the hooks. The twists will give a better hold, and you could probably even use a little slip to glue it in place. Finally, if the hooks are long enough you can bend them around to close them.
I love the colors on them, and I like this style of lawn/home decorations, but like you I really wasn't feeling this mould. Oh well, you still made the best of it and they turned out lovely.
I used to go to a paint your own pottery place. I get envious when I watch you do the glazes because as a kid, while I was in ceramics, we weren't allowed to use glaze. It was too difficult. The ones my instructor had didn't show colour until after they were fired, so when a kid used it, the colours would muddy and things wouldn't be in the right spot, and then the kids would get upset.
Might be the kind of product where you just clean it up, poke the holes, and bisque fire it - then sell it as a craft kit for people to paint and assemble.
Lovely reveal
Delightful!
I absolutely love these bears. :}
If you still have the mould, you could sell it as diy kits for kids. Pour them, add the wire bits, poke it out the holes, put it through the kiln, then sell them unpainted to kids as a way to get into pottery. The kids could paint them with acrylic paints, and tie them together.
they are so sweet!
Amazing !! ❤🦘
Hello! I’m new to your channel, I just purchased everything that I need for slip casting but I’m just a little overwhelmed! A how-to video would be wonderful and/or also maybe a tutorial of your studio to show how you have things organized ?? I have SO MUCH paint and would love for it to be easily displayed . Love your videos !!
I absolutely would love to do one! I just currently don't have the space or time to do one! I am hoping I can do one once the new studio is built as I will have better filming facilities for a more instructional step by step video! I also want to show off a comparison of my studio now vs the new studio too!
I noticed those bears in the early 1970s. They were popular hanging like wind chimes. But in garden sheds and carports
My first thought when I saw the different pieces was that you would use a thick wire or ribbon to go through both the front and back holes on the body and tie a knot at the back. Then the arms and legs would be attached to the front hole only. You would see the knot at the back but it would be "rustic." It might make the limbs sit better?
Good effort persevering with a pretty wacky mould! I must admit I LOLed at the inappropriate faces and the backwards legs! 😄
Omg!! So brave!
I think how you did them is cute, not my style but cute. Also, I totally saw what you mean about the face. I would suggest if you end up doing more danglies in the future that fishing line or some similar clear string might look better. That and having said string be longer might help keep the parts from trying to hide behind the piece. not 100% sure on that tho.
I totally agree! I didn’t have fishing line and only had bright coloured thread so I used the one closest to brown 😂 it just wasn’t a fun week for me make them! I just found them so fiddly! I did try a longer thread on the arms but then they hung so low that it looked so odd! I should have showed that in the video! But I settled for shorter length because it looked less strange. Not my style either but interesting all the same 😂🤔
My Friday night highlight!!!! Eeeekkkk!!!
The holes go straight through the sides for the arms and same from the bottom for the legs. One piece of yarn to hold the limbs on through the holes
These would be so cute to graft other heads or faces to.
These bears remind me of animal crossing a little bit! Even with the obvious bearsack(ha) on their face these are one of my absolute favorites you've shown!
I was so hoping to see your style like the ducks on these bears!
I have Christmas tree ornaments in that style. They have the metal hook on limbs and a hook on the main body and then string tied to each hook (hope that makes sense) means the limbs don't pull back and they dangle.
Considering where the limb attachments are and the bottom is flat, I believe these naughty bears sit on the edge of a shelf. My mom and an apple and pear whose limbs are attached with pipe cleaners and they sit on the edge with theirs legs hanging down.
Aww I think they're really cute.
Acrylic was a good choice, I was trying to figure out how you’d even fire them for glazing! I have little garden ornaments that were in my great aunts garden that are painted with acrylic and you definitely need to repaint them every few years. I’ll see if I can get a sealant next time, might last longer!
Also, I remember bears and dolls that were constructed similarly and the legs and arms were tied on with the fabric their clothes would have been. Like the papa bear’s legs would be tied on with denim scraps and the arms would have been tied on with scraps from a plaid shirt? But the holes are so small on these pieces, maybe a similar looking ribbon?
soo cutee!!
I was a little startled seeing the face after your comment lol
These bears are nuts! I'm so sorry but the whiskers on the muzzles aren't helping the situation. 😂
I went to look at your shop and wow, you're all sold out!
The backwards legs, lol. I like em!
My daughter and I agree that the muzzle should maybe have a black line painted down and a little mouth painted on underneath and it would maybe indicate that it's an actual face LOL. 🥰
I think the bears are so sweet. But to attach the arms and legs I woulda try using memory wire or something similar. They remind me of the decor that you can put on your fireplace mantel edge and the legs hang off .. but idk if the bear body can stand up with the legs and arms attached.
I thought they looked like squashed Care Bears 🐻 I think they’re cute. Cheers cherieK 🦋🌈🐿🇦🇺
Oooh, Goldy locks and three bears!
These must have been shelf sitters that were popular in the 80s-90s. These critters were made in fruits and veggies, each with cute faces. “Anthropomorphic critters”
I've seen toys like these Dingle-dangle bears! usually there's a twine loop that goes through holes in the limbs and body so they hang loosely off of it.
Just watched #69 and now this! I think I'd have gone matroyshka style on the colours. I really need to get into pottery now.
Hahahaha oh my gosh what a coincidence you are watching these in this order! Pottery is definitely very addictive!
If you get a mold like this again, try making two U shapes with your wire and hanging them thru each other. Then push the ends in to the legs and the body.
The air compressor 😂
I think these would be good to sell as a kit ready to paint ppl can put them together.
That’s such a wonderful idea!
Oh! Yellow stones bobo bear, and a care. Bear had a baby. These were popular when i was a kid, the body had small hooks,and the limbs had loops to join them, so u made then tinkle and dance
I agree with you, Shelby. Those faces are quite disturbing and I like the way you painted them but it didn't clear the issue like I hoped it would. Still great work.
Me while you were talking about the inappropriate bear faces: "There is just no way that a bear's face can have anything inappropriate on it, she must be seeing thi--oh. Oh, yeah. Damn, WOW. How did the manufacturers not see that?"
I totally see it as well. That may be why it's called dingle dangle.
I would love to see you actually attach the arms and legs with slip like you do the handle of a coffee mug, and just have them in all different positions instead of the string thing🥰
I think the bears are meant to sitting and the feet and hands are to be attached to a straight piece of wire that will extend out the back and finished off . How I don't know.
My favorite is still “frogs, slime and brain”
Will you be making more bee necklaces? I really wanted one and missed when you listed them :(
The bears look like folk tale characters (Goldilocks) from another country, such as Germany or Russia. They aren't necessarily "cute" in the way many of us think of them, but they are interesting.
That was different…cool
You litterally live in Australia, home of ALL the spiders.. I would NOT have been blowing air into those holes! 🕷🕸
