    I can’t even express how much I missed this. Katherine was the first doll customizer I ever saw/followed and was sad (but also happy for her) when she announced her hiatus. Since she’s been getting into the groove of parenthood I’ve gotten into quite a few other doll artists and while I’ve also fallen in love with them I missed the OG doll artist (for me anyway)

      See the problem is doll clothes and human clothes aren't easily transferable skills. The kinds of patterns and shapes you would use are different on a human body that moves and whose shape changes as they move than a doll who doesn't move often and even if they do the body doesn't shift and change. While she could make cute clothes for her child it would take her learning completely nrw skills

I'm no where near well-versed in korean culture, but from a design standpoint she looks absolutely gorgeous, and your idea of layers of beautifully designed clothes really stood out. She doesn't look bulky, yet still has that volume in her design, which is astounding to me. You did amazing for a first doll after your break!

    I'm Korean, and when this video popped up in my recommendations I absolutely had to click on it! This is such a beautiful interpretation of a 노리개! And since I was used to seeing them just as accessories, them being used on hair was unexpected in a great way. And the little 족두리 and 버선 were so adorable.The 한복 and the patterns on them were gorgeous, and the 연지 was such a nice touch. I could see all the dedication in every detail. I also thought the pins in the hair looked cool, since they kind of look like jade beads, and thus adds to the overall theme.
    (I was way to excited about this and got carried away lol, I think this is my longest ever comment on youtube)
    + I thought of some recommendations for the back of the hair... what about a sheer black cloth on the back, like the ones on the back of 탈 masks? But maybe it could look like a veil.. or you could bring the remaining hair together, tuck it in and add a patterned 댕기 or ribbon? Just my two cents!

Sometimes you have to mess around with things and try 57 different methods before something works how you want it to. And sometimes you must walk away because you've stared at something for so long and can't stand it anymore. You are so real about everything that happens in Doll customizing, and I love it!

    When doing fabric transfers a good way I avoid warping is as soon as I pull the iron up, I go over it with a marble square. Some people have gotten them at home improvement places (Counter top samples) but I use a marble coaster (from amazon). The coolness and weight of the marble helps correct the fabrics need to warp under the heat. It will come out nice and flat!

      I thought culture appropriation was the exploitation of minor cultures. As in you adopt an element of a culture, claiming it's yours or use it in a disrespectful/stereotypical way. I know most ppl aren't like this, so if I see a white person or any other person that isn't part of my culture, dressed in native attire. I never get offended, I quite honestly think it's silly to be offended by something like that when ppl just want to know, not mock. Or find our attire pretty and want to try it out themselves.

    Wow! This was such a complicated doll and you managed to make her look spectacular! So colorful and pretty. I love your attention to detail and traditional pieces. I also enjoyed how you added some personal touches to the video; like your wedding photo (you looked absolutely stunning btw) and the view of your art room. I hope you are enjoying motherhood and that you and your family are doing well. Thank you for taking the time to make videos for us! ❤

You really put a bit of everything in this doll! I missed you so much Katherine and I am so happy that you, your husband and the baby are healthy and well! Been falling asleep to your videos for the past month and I watched this on my lunch break at work, I am so excited to have you back! And just in time for Halloween!

    Hey Katherine! I’ve been around for a while and let me tell you, this is my new favorite doll! I think the details are so spot on and everything has such a nice balance. The silhouette is also very nice (I’m sorry, I’m a character designer.) I only wish you would’ve used Caterine Demew for the white skin, which would’ve really helped bring up the colors of the accessories and many traditional Korean dolls are also made out of porcelain.
    Have a nice day :)
