I have heard of the Yule lads before but never their mother! After another amazing repaint and customisation I am off to read up on some folklore about her ❤
Hi, Icelandic here🖐 This is one of my absolute favorite interpetations of Grỳla - she looks like she's just had a bath and is content and relaxed from the warm springs😂 Amazing job!
This was so fun! I loved watching such a drastic and unglamorous transformation, it's just not the kind of project you see very often in the doll customizing community. I would enjoy seeing similar transformations in the future, maybe characters like Yubaba from Spirited Away or the Witch of the Waste from Howl's Moving Castle.
EVERY DETAIL IS JUST SO WELL THOUGHT OUT & YOU CAN SEE THE CHARACTER REVEALING ITSELF - ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS ONE - THE HAIR IS PHENOMENAL!! 👏🏼 REMINDED ME OF MY FATHER’S MOTHER - SHE HAD THE SPIRIT OF GRYLA FOR SURE!! 🐈⬛
The doll repaint of 2023 I didn't know I needed! Amazing work and thank you for giving me the knowledge over the years to help make custom dolls for my daughter.
For the people that have the 12 Days of Christmas being after the 25th rather than before, this video has perfect timing! This doll is absolutely amazing, it's so interesting to see a project that has a very different style than your usual pretty characters. The face really looks like those big masks you showed at the beginning but made in a doll-like manner. Everything including the clothing and accessories came together so perfectly that this is one of my favorite projects of yours!
Just wanna clarify since your a witch fan she’s actually a troll not a witch (Icelander here😅) but mistakes happen a lot with Icelandic folklore haha a bit funny sometimes 😊
The UA-camr CZSworld recently did a video on the folkloric (and movie!) history of the character of Krampus, also including a little side history of Icelandic folklore and the Yule lads. I didn't know that their mother was a witch too, and your interpretation of her looks great! Happy New Year Maryna! 🎉
Culturally, no she isn't technically a witch although I can see how you might see her as such. Technically speaking she is a Troll, a Tröllskessa and her third husband Leppalúði is a Tröllkarl, because gendering. Her origins probably lie in the mix of Viking and Celtic myths and tales about hags and Mothers who are linked with mountains and winter. She ate her previous husbands when she got bored of them, and all in all she has roughly eighty children including the thirteen Yulelads. As a child I was reasonably terrified of her, but as I got older I started to develop such a fond warm spot for her and I adore her now so any opportunity I can find I will geek out so. 🥰
honest respect for going the extra mile on the body modifications like the facial features and the hunch! And the hoofs of course, too *_* She looks really cool and scary and I LOVE the hair! And the face of course! Brilliant work! Btw it would have been hilarious if you had given her the usual eyelashes XD
This was yet another stunning transformation! It never fails to amaze me, though, how you can craft with so many different products and never ever mess up your manicure! But I do admire how you have incorporated so many other cultural tales and traditions into your doll makeovers/repaints, and each of them has been fascinating. Thank you for another wonderful year of doll artistry; I´m looking forward to seeing what you do in 2024. Happy New Year, everyone!
Sometimes as I watch I don't think what you're doing will work, but it always does. That is why you are the artist and not me. Love all your dolls and I really like your seasonal backdrops.
I love that one picture that said (paraphrasing) “stories of gryla were so gruesome they outlawed parents from telling their children about them because it bordered on child abuse” That got me interested! I love seeing you make more scary dolls! Your skills truly know no bounds.
For a lady well over a millennium old Grýla is really looking good! I love her! I was terrified of her when I was a child, but now that I am older I love her like a grandmother.
Happy New Year! Amazing transformation. I loved all your horoscope dolls and I would love to see you do something similar, as your imagination and talents would make for even better dolls now. Maybe a doll representing each month, with their respective birthstones? Whatever you do, I wil lkeep following and admiring ❤ (ps I love the music x)
I love how this transformation tirned out. She terrifying, yet superbly done. What a great holiday doll. She kinda reminds me of the krampas story, from medieval times. Loved her story. Hope that you and your family, and momma had a wonderful holiday, and have a safe and happy new year😊😊🎉🎉🎉❤
You are so talented! I have never heard of this character. I'm from the U.S. I find her a funny character. I love the story behind her. I chuckled when you were telling it. I love how you gave her a nice Christmas touch.
I always enjoy learning about Christmas legends from around the world. Gryla might become one of my favourites (alongside Krampus, of course) after watching this. Wishing you much love, luck and good health for 2024 xx
21:38 The Crypt Keeper! I love your art. Your hands move faster than I can see! To be fair, I did eat a special candy, and time has lost all meaning She's wonderful!
Poppen, your artistry is amazing on this truly remarkable transformation! In my book, you are truly talented and I thank you for sharing that with us! Keep rockin it! 👍🏻🥰
Happy new year! I don't know if you are already working on it, or if something is stoping you, but I think you are absolutely ready to make your own dolls from scratch.
Thank you for making this year so much better with your art. I get so much creative inspiration from your channel even though I don't customize or collect dolls! I do a little happy dance every time I get a notification ❤
She is perfect! I am Icelandic and grew up with the legend of Grýla and this is exactly as I imagined her.
oh I'm so glad to hear it! you have an amazing country, I will definitely come back!
@@PoppenAtelier Is the witch good or bad?
bad
@@PoppenAtelier uh oh......
Same😂😊
I absolutely love that you're doing an "ugly" character! You've done villains before but always kept them pretty. We get to see more of your talent.
I love her, she's hideous!🥰 Gryla and Baba Yaga probably meet for tea every other Wednesday lol.
I have heard of the Yule lads before but never their mother! After another amazing repaint and customisation I am off to read up on some folklore about her ❤
When you make pretty dolls, they're gorgeous. But when you make scary dolls, they're _stunning!_

My grandson looked up all the different Christmas legends this year so I can’t wait to show him this doll. He will be so excited.
I absolutely ADORE scary/ugly dolls. She’s truly incredible. So happy to get some backstory about her, too! Always love learning.
Absolutely amazing doll redesign, I always admire the out of the box creations and this for Yule is just fantastic
I love that Gryla's lore is so extensive to the point of having a hubby, kids, and a cat 😭
The kids are our Santa Claus

"Icelandic Yule Witch Gryla" sounds like the way Pokemon trainers are introduced
*Icelandic Yule Witch Gryla wants to battle!*
It must have been GREAT fun to take a break from making fantastically BEAUTIFUL dolls to make a fantastically HIDEOUS one! Well done, as usual!

That transformation is jaw dropping. Something that started out so cute ended up so terrifying and creepy. Excellent work as always!
I love witches and I've never before heard from Gryla! I just loved her! ❤ THANK YOU your art always amaze me!

I watched that too. I had that in my mind when I watched this video.

I went to a Halloween party years back as Gryla!!!! Yay!!! I know the doll will be amazing ❤
oh so cool!❤️
Thanks to The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, I know exactly who Gryla is. ❤❤ Spectacular repaint!

I love this doll she kinda looks like a creepy grandma with hoofs. The face transformation is amazing and I love her outfit looks very warm
I wish I could hit “like” four hundred times!
Your attention to detail blows my mind!! 🤯
Sometimes as I watch I don't think what you're doing will work, but it always does. That is why you are the artist and not me. Love all your dolls and I really like your seasonal backdrops.
I remember when you used to do makeup on UA-cam many years ago. That voice is undeniable ✨
You definitely wouldn't want her to babysit! An excellent depiction of Gryla. Wishing you a healthy,happy productive and prosperous 2024 🎉
you could play Sophia from the Moving Castle when she's old, I think you'd be very good ❤
OMG I love her. That’s exactly who I want to be when I’m old 😂
I can’t believe I’m the only bid on her so far but if I do get her she’s gonna look SO GOOD next to my Krampus! 😁
@@AwkwardBirb What a great pair X)
This is the coolest doll you made all year.
This is definitely one of your best doll!! She's perfect, really!❤
I love that one picture that said (paraphrasing) “stories of gryla were so gruesome they outlawed parents from telling their children about them because it bordered on child abuse”
That got me interested!
I love seeing you make more scary dolls! Your skills truly know no bounds.
Happy New Year and thank you for the entertainment
You've undone yourself this time! Bravo!
For a lady well over a millennium old Grýla is really looking good! I love her!
I was terrified of her when I was a child, but now that I am older I love her like a grandmother.
Time to get myself a cupa tea and watch the magic happen! 🎄❄💜

She's terrifying. I love her!
I enjoy watching you. I'm always amazed how you can use acetone to remove their face and don't ruin your nails 😊.
This goes to prove that underneath even the most hideous old granny there is a young beautiful girl. 😂 Great job!
21:38 The Crypt Keeper!
I love your art. Your hands move faster than I can see! To be fair, I did eat a special candy, and time has lost all meaning

Eats naughty children? A husband and 13 sons/Yule Lads? And a Yule cat?! I have got to read up on this witch…thank you for a new thing to learn🤗
She would be perfect as Baba Yaga as well! 😉👏🏻
