    This was such an entertaining video filled with tons of interesting facts! The Nutcracker Prince from 1990 was one of my favorite movies when I was a kid. It was so cool to learn more about the true story behind it.
    My favorite parts of this doll are the veins in her ears and her rats crown! Such an amazing accessory! And your sculpting is just muah! Chef's kiss!
    When you were adding the dark spots into the cape I felt so happy that I only sculpt, not sew :D So much details, materials and work went into this outfit!
    You did a phenomenal job :)
    PS1: I also love Kill Bill and Hilda, but I am not surprised by our similar taste by now :D
    PS2: When I was a kid I was a happy rats owner so I feel no disgust towards them, I looove those cuties ^_^

    A good idea I have for her crown I thought of was maybe it's smaller versions of crowns she used to wear, or crowns she wanted but couldn't choose one and did want to switch her crown out anytime so she then made her rat head crown instead.

    She is absolutely stunning from her colour pallete and intricately looking clothing till all small details like her crown (amazing sculpt job, rats look very naturalistic) and tiny beads and corset. I definitely would like to see her in Nutcracker!!
    And am very happy you enjoy Tim Burton a lot too, he is literally my icon :). AND now when u mentioned u planned smth very intriguing for Valentines,I won't be able fall asleep XD damn it

    42:53 Fun fact/coincidence! In the victorian era, women would make pads for their updos out of their own hair, collected from their hairbrushes over time, and these hair pads were called hair rats! How fitting for the Rat Queen to have her own hair rat!

    Thank you for sharing your amazing thoughts with us, everything you do is always so beautiful, the attention you put to every detail of what you are making is fascinating. You have an incredible mind that makes all of these incredible projects. Watching your videos makes me happy because it’s not just music on the background while you work on the doll, it’s you talking to us and let in us in to how you think. Again thank you for doing what you do and doing it amazingly. May this year brings you lots of great things.

    Rats are by far the BEST pets in the world. They're so smart, loving, empathetic, funny and just all-around awesome. They have such an unfairly bad reputation, but absolutely adore them. I just wish they lived a little longer because it breaks my heart every time one of them heads to Valhalla via the Bifröst. I just had to skip straight to this video when I looked at your channel, I love the result. The shading and capillaries on the ears are just perfect to represent those delicate little things (they are so soft and warm, too).
    Just to add, while people perceive rats as being a thing for the sewers and dumps, they actually live all over the place, make their own nests too, just like mice, and live in many of the same places. It's just for some reason, rats have an even worse reputation than mice do. And don't get me started on the disparity with squirrels (who are just rats with tail-fros and better PR 😂). 💜🐀👑

    • @DollAfterlife
      @DollAfterlife  Месяц назад +1

      I totally agree with you! I think rats got their bad reputation because of the plague and typhus fever that were blamed on rats. While the actual problem was people having bad hygiene 😅 Rats as pets are very clean though!

      @@DollAfterlife Absolutely true! I've had to go to the hospital for both dog and cat bites (one of which caused raging cellulitis that needed IV antibiotics) but rats? Nope. Twenty years, dozens of rats (at one stage, my housemate and I had 16 between us and free-range time was SO much fun) and only one real bite that was my own fault in the first place. I can't have them now because of health issues, so I can't give them the care and attention they need sadly, and I miss them every day. But one day, if/when I'm well enough, they'll be right back in my life again. 💜
