HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 17 янв 2019
- Let's turn today a Draculaura Monster High Doll into a beautiful Asian Princess in a gorgeous miniature handmade silk kimono. I also want to give this doll double jointed knees and this is the first time when I will make such a serious body modification. And I will also tell my final opinion on Liquitex Medium and compare it to Mr. Super Clear.

I would love to see you do a traditional version of your own ethnicity maybe with a voice over in your native language. This was beautiful and congrats on working through the difficulties the end result was worth it.
Finished look 👌🏽👍🏽 your mom is a BOSS! The knees came out great. The face is beautiful. Please do more ethnicities. I’m loving it. Maybe a Mayan woman or an Indian wedding with a saree and jewels and large chandelier earrings and head pieces.
Jessica Durant Yes! I would love to see an Indian wedding-inspired doll!
OMG YEEESSS!
Oh, yes please! It would be lovely to see more like that
Yeeeeessss!
Omg yes!
Mr super clear needs to sponsor you. You convinced me to buy it, picking up a new hobby of painting records to turn into clocks, and I use it to prime and seal them, and so much difference than without it!
I wish we could get Mr Super clear in South Africa..
@@dianah735 Africa's problems will only get worse before it gets better and in the meantime we want to use Mr super clear
Hearing Poppen say "what the hell is this" made my whole life
Time stamp 15:03
“Excuse me!?”
Whole life what?
@@jameswent48 it’s metaphorical
I would love a teenaged black girl with kinky hair or cornrows (that would be an interesting challenge)
Good idea! This look I didn't make yet!
🙄
I would love to see that too! Diversity in art, you did the Asian doll very well
Omg I would love to see cornrows I really want to see how they would be made ( and I maybe wanna see her struggling a little with those too 😂)
cornrows won't really work on a doll
The curly kink hair might tho
Oh my goodness! She’s perfect! 😍 I know you struggled with this one, but your persistence and attention to detail really shows in the end. And that outfit!! Wow! Your mom did a great job! 💕
I will be honest, on the one hand, I am happy you tried liquitex because you are always so honest when reviewing products you use (it's one of the things I love about your channel) and thus you probably saved a lot of people (including myself) the pain of actually trying another it themselves. On the other hand, I am sorry you've been through so much because of it. I understand how frustrating it is when your supplies aren't up to your standards. Lastly, I admire that you had the strength to start over. It was very brave of you! And it paid off as the end result is amazing!
That's why I'm happy I'm filming and sharing it, otherwise it would be just sad for me and like this it has become a very useful experiment! ❤️
To be fair, there are lots of doll artists who prefer the liquitex/airbrush version over MSC.
Liquitex is a dust magnet when applied too much at a time. I had this problem when I first tried it too. But you'll get a feeling of how much you need to apply, just like with MSC 😌
@@isaacwgnr130 That info is actually very helpful, thank you Isaac!
No problem!! :D
SHe's so BEAUTIFUL! Lol I'm Korean and Japanese (Mostly Japanese), and I'm so happy that a diverse doll has been made! I was like- "Whaa?" At first when you chose the Chinese fabric for the Japanese Yukata (Or Kimono, which is what you called it, but they're both similar enough to me so whatevs! Kimono is more universal lol), but then I realized- "Asian Princess" and then it hit me- "Ohh I get it! Kind of like a mix of cultures! I like that!"
I hope you make more cool dolls in the future! I'm definitely subbing!
Mochi Needs Tea I love you and your comment 😊
@@Borg2590 LOVE YOU TOO FAM
Mochi Im Japanese!!! Konichiwa!
@@sassyantelope5622
Konnichiwa!
I always thought that the Kimono is worn by women and the Yukata is worn by men...?
Hey, I wanted to say that this video is something more than repaint tutorial of beautiful doll. Showing us your mistakes and frustration, give us feeling that it's not always perfect, and it don't have to be always perfect for beautiful finish. But what's more important, You're showing us Your determination and not giving up, and that determination also brings great results. And I wish for all, that they will have that determination as You, not only according to dolls repaint, but in everything in life. And Your's mom kimono is masterpiece. Greetings.
The first face also looked really good! Don't be so harsh on yourself!
Thank you so much for not only showing us the finished doll, but also the things that did not go so well along the way. Artists so often represent their process as a perfect one but I love to see an artist’s honest take on what didn’t work. She turned out amazing in the end!
As to accuracy, I can see some peoples' points - but I think any errors were definitely made innocently. I was pleased to see she wasn't done up like a stereotypical 'geisha' look, and had a more simply done face. The kimono was lovely! But since you were going more for Japanese, that should be stated. The food is adorable, and I'm glad you were able to get the knees to work! My suggestions would be to make the hair sticks a little smaller or thinner, maybe toothpick size, and make sure the kimono is folded with her left side over right, as the opposite is used in burials! The table could use some short legs maybe, and the hairstyle could be a little looser around the hairline, to cover some of the roots, and be more natural. She also wouldn't be showing her knees, but I can understand YOU showing them for all the work you put in!! Ooh, and maybe using the opposite side of the textile at the edges, to simulate an under-kimono...!
No offense on anything, I've just learned a lot about kimono from a friend and over the years, so I hope I can help! And omg. ON THE SEALANT- I did a BJD face with I believe liquitex, or another sealant that was available in America, and I had the exact same problems - it gumming up, removing layers when I sprayed more, catching every piece of dust- I thought I must be going crazy because people said it was a good substitute, so it's helpful to know I'm not alone here lol. I will have to try MSC for the next doll I paint! My doll turned out lovely, but man, it was a painful journey. D:
Thank you so much for this information! This is indeed something I didn't know and I'm really happy to learn it now! ❤️ Especially the information about the burial kimono style has blown my mind 👘👍 I've become smarter! 😎
I agree with you about not making it a stereotypical "geisha" look. Her face is so pretty. But if the goal was to make her a Japanese princess then she should have a lot more layers of fabric and let her hair down or at least loosen it up. If she is just a japanese girl then she definitely needs more cute and flowery hair decorations since Japanese girls like to look fancy but also cute and playful! (Although the design of the fabric suits more a princess than a girl in a festival look).
Also kimonos are used folded on the chest so it looks flatter, and the neck should be a bit loose so it flares out at the back and shows the nape of the neck. There's many tutorials online on how to wear and style kimono so it looks more realistic 😉 and yes she needs an under kimono!
@@ChibiChidorii All very good points! Would the darker red color be more suitable for a woman than a girl, or for winter time? And yes, definitely if she's a princess in the literal sense, she'd have a lot more layers and different hair, but if you're using the 'any girl can be a princess!' philosophy, then I think this can fit that. :) She's a fancy lady either way!
And yes! Re: under-kimono, though, I've definitely seen on dolls (from Japan) the illusion of an under-kimono created with clever trim, and the obi attached as a premade piece - since fashion dolls are so small, you don't want it to get super fiddly or bulky (not that it's impossible!) There's a lot of clever tricks out there that can make it pop and add a little authenticity.
@@seir323 seir323 actually yes! Darker and duller colors are mostly used by older and married women, and also their sleeves are shorter. Youger girls are expected to wear pink or really bright colors and have longer sleeves, although now with how fashion works, crazy patterns are also considered youthful and very fashionable. I say she looks rather fancy and mature because the fabric is a warmer red than the classic red kimono and most importantly has a lot of gold in it (it is actually very similar to a kimono i wore in Japan for a contest lol) which makes it look like it is for a special occasion instead of just going to a summer festival or tea ceremony.
i know this is a pretty old comment, but another thing i think could be added in terms of accuracy is the chopsticks in her hair. people do it on occasion, but it’s mostly just for convenience if you need your hair out of your face- considering she’s a princess, she’d probably have some fancy hairsticks on hand and would have no reason to use chopsticks.
Sugestion, Make a Raven, Teen Titans :)
Yessss
Yess ❤
_I'd love to see Raven in her style_
_Edit : I'm your 100th like, congrats on the goal!_
YESS
I WOULD PAY HER TO MAKE RAVEN.
But honestly, that's a really awesome idea! I'd love to see her make dolls of superheroes in her style! What if she even made their comic book versions in her style? That'd be awesome!
Thank you showing the problems and how you managed them. Shes a beauty, ypur very talented.
Me: Stunning. Absolutely beautiful. How does one create such art? Incredi-
Her: .....I hate it. I'm starting over.
Me: the frick frack
This video shows the real stories of artists, the joy and frustrations, that other artists can relate💜
Beautiful! Your voice is just so lovely! Even hearing your rant about the sealant, I smiled all through your video!
do you know her accenr? i adore it!
Eastern European
I thought she is Russian from her accent.
Could you make a doll with a hijab? I'm sure it would be beautiful, and certainly different from the usual repaint dolls you make!

@@aileenbasia7262 you muslim? Lol
Ooh! With a cut crease and dramatic liner! That would be so pretty
I’m so glad the universe provided those parts when you needed them. That’s cool
Wow, I love how you were saved by a miracle. Your plastic joint story made me so happy. 🤗
The Mr. Superclear change is just super weird. I hope they'll find a new recipe that's both non-toxic AND functional.
Your mom's kimono looks soooooooo amazingly beautiful.
And the end result with everything put together is breath-taking. WOW WOW WOW!!!
This is amazing. The struggles you went through just make the doll even more beautiful and special
Wow the change to hooded eyes was so dramatic 😍 I would love to see more Asian re-paints on your channel, she looks so regal ❤️ really amazing
She is so beautiful! My favorite so far! Making her be able to kneel was really neat to see. Thank you for showing the problems and solutions. I am an artist in a different medium and being able to see other artists work through problems is a good experience. It is exciting to overcome setbacks and figure out how to do hard things. It gives us confidence to be adventurous.
I LOVE the fact that you actually go ALL out and put all your effort in making gorgeous diverse dolls. Thank you. I love your mistakes and you fixing them and retouching on things you think you need to do better on. Thank you. Keep doing what you're doing.
That doll is soooo pretty! Each doll is an amazing work of art, and your channel is awesome :)
Also, can you do a Billie Eilish doll?
I like this suggestion!
No please no
I was just thinking that too! Billie Eillish doll for the win!
And she really did it!
The only doll I've done in liquitex is this little bjd I have that I painted all over with little blue vines and such to make her look like a China plate or something. I'm going to have to redo her because the lines are really rough and have been smearing and wearing off. MSC is the ONLY sealant in my world now.
Yes! Exactly! It's just impossible to compare the Liquitex results with the result you always get with the MSC
@@PoppenAtelier that is because you used the matte medium, which is terrible for doll face ups. Try using the 'liquitex matte varnish' instead(the brush on/ airbrush kind, not the spray can), it is a great alternative sealant to Mr super clear and works much better than the 'matte medium' 😊
@@jessie-chan98 I have painted almost all my BJDs with the medium (with a final layer of th varnish) and it worked great for me. But for vinyl dolls I agree that the medium is terrible.
@@Alayses yes I think it does work for for certain types of plastic but not for vinyl very well 😄 so are monster high heads vinyl then?
@@jessie-chan98 yes, mh and other similar dolls are vinyl. For me it works only if the first layer is MSC and the following are liquitex.
What I love about Poppen is that she try's new products but clearly the second repaint was waaay better!
I’m definitely binge watching your videos and this is one of my favorites because it seemed like the world was against you (making you restart twice) and you still finished with an amazing piece!!!! I’m so impressed!!!!
To be fair? I like both versions. But I can understand how you were feeling about the first one. The nontoxic base that only good with dark colors and paint. I think it would be great for fantasy/supernatural beings. If you want to give it a go again. The doll ends up being so beautiful and perfect as always! 💓
AMAZING LIKE ALWAYS! PURE TALENT
KEEP UP THE AMAZING WORK
I like that you don't shy away from different skin tones or ethnicity. This doll is lovely
I really appreciate that you actually show the process of your repaints and is not afraid to show all the mistakes that weredone. Its also helpful that you solve them on screen because that may help those who are also experiencing the same problems.
I was having a really rough day, then I saw you posted another video, and I am now feeling much better.
Even though you struggled with this doll, I admire your persistence, patience, and ability to see more improvement.
Omg it's so pretty I suggest you to make a mini me doll of your self
I will!!!
I would love to see that!
tearfully enchanted yesssss
Omg yess please next!
Thank you for suggesting that idea it is a really good idea
She is so pretty the dress is gorgeous and so is her face and the food is a bonus touch.
Tears in my eyes - the doll is so beautiful and the kimono exquisite. Thank you so very much.
She is so gorgeous!!! You worked through the struggles and made something really amazing!
Whenever you wiped off the first face it was so satisfying! That’s how I feel whenever I remove me makeup at night! She’s stunning btw, my favourite make yet!
Please make dolls showing your interpretation of how fire, water, earth, wind (fairy) guardians should look like.
I like how you do your work, very detailed, meticulous, professional ... wish I can do something like you do.
😍😍😍🤩🤩🤩
She turned out beautiful!! And Kudos to you for sticking with her and over coming all the challenges this project dealt.
You and your mum make a great team. This makeover is amazing 😍 😍
So pretty and what amount of work you have out into it! You have my highest respect for what you had to go through 😊
Thank you so much! 💋
She's stunning. I'm so happy for you, you didn't give up. You faced each challenge and just kept going till it worked. Her kimono and the little table are perfect too.
The popsicle sticks breaking, and then you miraculously finding the PERFECT items to use for joints was such an emotional rollercoaster for me lol! It only lasted a few seconds for me and it was tough so I can only imagine how it felt for you for a whole week!
I’m such a huge fan of Japanese culture and this doll is amazing! All the work you put in really paid off. Definitely my favorite doll you’ve done. I enjoyed following your process and I laughed so hard at your disgust with that new sealant! Lol I guess you just can’t beat Mr. Super Clear!
I would love to purchase her!! OMG she is one of a kind I love her!
this is like the third night that i watch a video of yours to sleep, dolls customization relaxes me so much
Love how you showed both of them because it’s okay to start over. And sometimes things don’t come out the first time
You are so super sweet🥰🥰 thank you for thinking about diversity and spreading the love for all races! Just finished your black doll transformation too👌🏾👌🏾 beautiful❤️❤️
Poppen, I just want to say that you are so pretty! ❤️
Oh thank you so much ❤️
I have just recently discovered your videos. i think this is my favorite one so far. The miracle of finding the plastic pieces you re-purposed into your Asian Princess' doll knee joint, your frustration with grainy sealant, your determination to make this doll up to your standards and quality of work despite the set backs, and the absolutely beautiful finished project. I am so glad I discovered your videos!
She turned out stunning! The second faceup was worth it! Your mom is the queen of costumes! I'm so glad you showed the difficulty you had throughout the process. It helps to see the mistakes others make so much & also how you fixed them. Thanks for that! Now you know to save all those little plastic things for emergencies.lol
I enjoy ur videos!!!
.
This is helpful to make the knees have better joints. Love it 😊
I'm amazed, really. Draw my life, and add a nice coat of Mr. Super Clear sealant!!!
I am impress on how professional you are... You rather start over than paint a mediocre doll! And it is perfect!!!!! I love it!
OMG I nearly died when you wiped it all off and and started again. But thank you so much Poppen for sharing your struggles...I have learnt so so much from you. She's stunning ! And you are a complete genius for doing all that leg joint work - oh my gosh that must have taken ages. Things DO happen for a reason ! Thank you so much for sharing.
This is just wonderful! You should do something similar, like a china poblana doll or a charro doll. That would be AMAZING 🥰
This is beautiful. Lots of detail. This is one of my favorite dolls you made, very different. You should make a Hispanic princess :) I'd love to see something I can relate to that doesn't have sugar skull face paint, as much as I love Dia de los Muertos.
I second this! I would love to see a Hispanic or Latino doll!
Your videos are my addiction! I never thought that doll makeovers can be sooo satisfying to watch!
Wow she is beautiful. What a lucky save those plastic bits were. I know a number of doll customizers always say never throw anything away because it can come in handy at some stage and this really proves it.
Aah the best part of Fridays ♥️
I know how you feel. I always look forward to these videos every Friday.
You do such a Great work! Can you Make a Sailormoon Doll? Perhaps Neo Queen Serenety?❤️❤️❤️
This tutorial made me so emotional. Your talent and creativity is outstanding and
your doll transformations so breathtakingly beautiful. Thank you so very much.
I really admire how you kept working on challenging aspects of the doll when your initial approach didn’t work!!!! I need to learn perseverance from your amazing work!!!
The first face was lovely but the second even more. Really interesting
I love her she is so pretty and I feel like I could rly meet her 1 day
She’s beautiful. I used to move a lot (I moved a whopping 10 times over 2 countries and 5 states before I was 11 years old!), so I got to see many cultures. My dad used to always bring back the greatest treasures from the places he went for missions and I’ve always treasured them. One of the reasons I love this channel is you aren’t afraid to rip apart a white doll and turn it into a black doll or a black doll into a zombie doll. You are insanely creative.
And I deeply sympathize with the liquitex debacle! It’s like getting a new formulation of your beloved colored pencils and going, “WTF is this? What did you do to my pencils?! I DEMAND MY OLD PENCILS BACK!”
Girl this is a look!!! You looking extra fine today!! Hair and makeup on point! Get it!
I see- the talent runs in the family! The second face is totally gorgeous! I have never use this type of sealants because as you told it makes the face looks dirty and textured! I use vallejo primer to seal bodies because MSC starts cracking after 10 layers of applying.
I’ve been binge watching your videos for the last couple days and I’m usually not into videos like these but watching the effort and love you put into all your creations is so nice and comforting to watch. Not only are all of your dolls so beautiful but as a half white/ half Asian person myself, I love watching the effort you especially put into making dolls that aren’t white. While I understand the reservations some people may have about you putting an Asian doll in Asian clothing, I think it was a perfect choice because it isn’t often you see a doll that is specifically Asian in a store or specifically any race that isn’t white. I love all of your creations and appreciate the love you put into each one!
You made her so beautiful, great doll transformation!
Honestly I really liked the first face. The expression made her look so sad and desperate which was really adorable. I can see that the quality looks worse but I feel like it looks more realistic that way, she kinda looks like a porcelain doll or something because of how the sealant turned out. The second one definitely looks more brave and fierce like a true leader but the first was so freaking adorable.
So beautiful! I'm glad that you repainted her face. I can't wait for your next doll.
That doll is gorgeous. Absolutely a work of art. I just have one small critique, if you could call it that. If you make another doll like this, have an underskirt, it would hide the knee joints and make it look seamless. I'd love to see you make another and fashion it to look like a traditional geisha, there are some amazing videos of modern day maiko and geisha that you could draw inspiration from. All in all I really enjoyed this video and the doll is exquisite.
It's sometimes the hardest thing, to start over on a project. I personally hate doing that, but it was needed. I say, stick with what works for you. I've seen other customizers who try a product for the first time and it becomes a hassle every step of the way.
Your mom did a fabulous job on that kimono. You two are one hell of a team.
Those plastic pieces are a life saver! I saved a ton of them from other doll packaging and had the same sort of revelation when it came to giving a doll a swivel neck after multiple failures. If you do doll hacks, never throw them away! lol
Its great that you're branching out and working on a more diverse range! : )
Keep it up and keep improving! And definitely look into fashion designers/artists/models for your target ethnicity. There's beauty in both accuracy and creativity!
You've made a very big and very brave step forward!
Its very elegant. Thanks fr sharing
I am so glad I found your channel. My 5yr old daughter sufferers from extreme anxiety due to an autoimmune disease.
Nighttime is rough for her (she gets panic attacks while trying to sleep) so I put one of your videoed on and I put on earbuds and let her watch your video with low volume. It is one of the few ways I can get her to fall asleep. I don’t mean your videos are boring, she LOVES your videos, but they are very relaxing and allow her to relax and fall asleep.
She is by far my favorite... She is stunning! 💖
She is absolutely stunning. Great job, as always.
If I wasn't already subscribed, I'd do it now because of those 8 minutes of raging against the sealant XD I've never used this one (MSC fan for life), but I can relate to the anger at faulty art supplies. Beautiful result, as always
She’s absolutely gorgeous!!!
And relax !!! you care about your work so much and it shows xx
BEAUTIFUL! MY FAVORITE REPAINT OF YOURS
OMG MY FAVORITE DOLL YOU HAVE EVER DONE HANDS DOWN SO CUTEEEEEEE
I absolutely love how you show your problems/mistakes during the process. Seeing you overcoming those is so empowering!
you're art is just awesome!! I love it
"So she can stay on her knees like real asian woman" like GURL. PHRASING X'D I know you meant that so she can kneel properly and shit but dayum I was lowkey like shook for a moment there >w

That would be SO COOL!!
don’t.
I like Liquitex because even outdoors with a mask, MSC (and most sprays) gives me an awful cough and debilitating migraine. I do also work mainly with paints and some pastels, so that could be why I think Liquitex is a great alternative. Honestly, any matte sealant or varnish dabbed on gently works well for me.
Omg! I totally forgot about all the joint issues you had too!!!! Poor Poppen!!! You persevered though and pulled out an absolutely STUNNING result!!! Your so very talented!!! So is your Momma!!!! Go Mommy Atelier!!! 😁😁👏👏👏👏
Hi Poppen,
I appreciate you going out of your way to diversify your doll portfolio. We definitely have the same problem in the United States with most of the available doll sculpts being white/Caucasian. There are even more fantasy sculpts (looking at monster high here) than sculpts representing people of color.
That being said, I have a few thoughts I would like to share with you and the comments section at large (because there are a lot of doll customizers watching as you said). I am going to use examples from your channel here, but I am not attacking you, I just want to give actual examples rather than being vague. I’ve seen others (myself included) do the same sorts of things in their art as well.
When you make dolls of color their main themes are almost always that they’re not white (Asian Princess, Big African Beauty, etc.), whereas when you make white dolls they can be anyone (ice queen, pirate, Little Red Riding hood, etc.). Only focusing on the race of a character or doll when they aren’t European (white isn’t a race) makes it seem standard and all non-white races are ‘weird’, ‘exotic’, or different. This simply isn’t true (also, monolid or ‘hooded’ eyes are no less normal than ‘regular’, or double lid eyes).
Also, when a doll’s theme is their race, their character and design are more likely to be composed of stereotypes (this doll must be a princess, she kneels at a table, etc) some of which might have seeds of truth in the actual culture the doll is representing, whereas others might not (China and Japan are not the same and their textile designs are not either, and putting chopsticks in a Japanese woman’s hair is the same as if I pulled an Ariel and stuck a fork in mine.). Regardless of how a stereotype came to be or how harmless it may seem, it does hurt people because others have a harder time accepting who they are if all they see the person as is a bunch of stereotypes.
One final point I would like to make is that doll designers, please be careful not to accidentally further a form of oppression that people in marginalized communities face in their lives. Things such as lightening a doll’s darker skin (as we said earlier, darker skinned dolls are a rarity, comparatively) or straightening a black doll’s natural hair. Whitewashing is a huge issue in western media, where lighter-skinned people of color are more accepted by white people because it seems closer to our skin tone. Black women and girls are penalized every day for not straightening their hair to more look more like ‘normal’ (white). When we change dolls in this we way, as white doll customizers, we are furthering the message that people of color are not pretty as they are, that only light-skinned and straight-haired (and skinny, but that’s another topic) people are worth recreating in our art.
I’m writing this long-a** comment not to attack you, or any doll customizer, or anyone’s dolls but to shed some light on something that isn’t usually talked about. I have made a lot of mistakes regarding race as a writer, but I have learned from them. I am hoping that we all can learn from my hard-won experience and errors and maybe avoid repeating some of them.
Thank you for reading all of this,
Sarah
PS: As a white person if any person of the races I have spoken about in this comment feels that I have crossed a line, please let me know. However, I will only defer to PoC in this matter as this is their real-life and it’s only the youtube comments section for the rest of us.
it's art. it's not supposed to be taken out of context.
Thank you for your comment! You are right of course! First of all the doll market should be much more diverse. Right now unfortunately I cannot hide my excitement when I'm working on some not-Clawdeen-Wolf doll with a deeper skin color and the ones with hooded eyes just don't exist approximately (a couple of stiff fashonistas, made to move fashonistas don't exist here) and it becomes a special feature of a makeover. And I always think in toy shops 'damn, it must be really frustrating if you are an Asian girl or a girl with African routes and you want to buy a pretty doll that looks like you because there's just none, all of them are blond white and a couple are white with dark hair. There are also a couple of green and purple Monster Highs and maybe Pocahontas from Hasbro but looks like she's swallowed a stick - choose dear girl of color, enjoy, which one you want to look like most 🤬🤬🤬'. So when I make these 'ethnic' repaints I have some sort of a feeling like 'come, I will make finally a doll that will look like you'. The hair of the holidays Barbie I've straightened just to make the change more drastic, I loved her hair and I told in the disclaimer because I knew there would be lots of comments but there were anyway lots of comments about it 😂 but we should for sure put an effort and change the situation. Every girl deserves a doll that looks like her! 👧👧🏻👧🏿👧🏼👧🏽👧🏾❤️
Xial Amyrson I agree. It’s not an actual person, it’s a doll, a work of art. It’s not a historically accurate piece meant to be on display at some art history exhibit. It’s perfectly fine in this context of doll customization.
The ‘chopsticks in the hair is like a fork in mine’ isn’t quite accurate. I understand that sticking chopsticks in your hair doesn’t make sense but what I’m sure happened here is a simple misunderstanding. People see the large hair pins Geishas use in their hair and think “look giant chopsticks!” So you have to give people some leg room when it comes to other cultures. Not everyone is highly educated in tradition from other countries and cultures, some are still learning about the rest of the world and what everything is.
Read half of it, did not bother to red the rest
the first face is pretty for me tho, amazing job! Dont be too hard on yourself hehe
I am so impressed that you solved the knee joint issue. Great doll.
I watched this previously but don't think I commented. Anyhow, she is also one of my favorites. I love and appreciate how you add cultural diversity to your art. Your attention to details is wonderful. Thank you for sharing.
