What is the name of the stopmotion animation that appears at the beginning of the video?
It's called "blood tea and red string"
It's a bit crazy, but I love it 😁
@@DollAfterlife You'd love Nutcracker Fantasy, it's crazy XD The mouse queen is pretty cool too!
It looks interesting actually! I should give it a watch, hehe 😁
Well some Japanese for sure Lol. The doll looks like an Japanese ghost Gisha..
It always amazes me the details you put into your dolls. You pull threads from so many different sources and weave them into art
Thank you so much! 😍
Rats are definitely intelligent & amazing creatures. The Nutcracker has always been one of my favorite Christmas stories & this rat queen is amazing! I love that you made her an albino. I can't wait to see your valentine's doll. ❤
Thank you so much for the kind comment!❤ Also: love your style! 🧐
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 ^_^
Heeey you make me blush again 😂😂 but thank you so much for supporting me!
You don't even need to make clothes for your dolls to have personality and stand out so much!❤
I had a rat as a teen and he was brilliant and so clean! My girls had rats growing up and they were wonderful pets. Very cuddly and soft. Mice are dirty and not so smart. You are truly an artist! And a seamstress! Beautiful! Your rat crown…phenomenal!
Thank you so much for the kind words! When I was little, we also had a pet rat. I used to draw different Christmas pictures for his cage, to get him into holiday mood 😂
I have a wild rat I raised from a day old with an eye dropper She's adult now & she is a wonderful pet. So smart , clean and just as loving as a puppy dog
Love her She is amazing @@DollAfterlife
She is exquisite! I absolutely adore rats. I have had several throughout my life and they are so intelligent and affectionate. I love the flawless attention to every detail, most especially her ears and hands. They make her a realistic creature for me. As opposed to just a storybook character doll. Perfection. ❤
Couldn't agree more! I love all kinds of rodents, especially rats, beavers and capybaras (captain obvious entering the chat, lol)
When I was looking at photos of rats and noticed these little veins, I immediately thought that I must add these too 😆 it's one of my favorite details now 😁
She is beautiful! I can almost see her be a character in a fairytale. And the video was a delight to watch with the facts about the original story & facts about how humans viewed rats back in older times popping up during the process of making this queen.
She is the best doll. I mean, she is the moment, yall 😌. Those intricate details made her the best. Sewing small beads on the flowers, adjusting the embroidery part for the clean finish, and hand sewing those teeny tiny black fur details.... Also, sculpting 🐭 heads so perfectly, I mean girl, it's literally the size of a finger nail. That's so amazing.💖💖💖💖
Your comments are always warming my heart 😍 Thank you so much for sticking around and supporting me 💚
@@DollAfterlife 💖💖💖💖
She reminds me of the White Queen from Tim Burtons Alice in Wonderland films. Intentional or not she still is amazing and I am so envious of your sewing skills and ability to make clothing patterns. Fabulous job as always and look forward to seeing what you come up with this year ❤
Thank you so much for the kind comment! This resemblance was not intended, but i thought of her too, after I started putting things together😂 I chose a white dress because I saw pictures of some real life albino people wearing white and they looked majestic. 🌟
I was about to comment the dame thing! She looks majestic❤️
Oh, if you like Tim Burton’s art you should check out Edward Gorey! He was one of Tim Burton’s influences and he has that same kind of scratchy, gothic kinda vibes. ❤
Also, I’m SO HAPPY to see someone else that loves Hilda too! It’s one of my favorite animated series 😊😊
Noted!! Thank you so much for recommendation ❤
Yeeesss I love Hilda so much, I literally watched it 3 times 😂 the newest season is not as good though 🥲
I for one welcome our new rat overlord!❤
Amen! 👑
It is so wonderful to find a person hwo loves Tim Burton, Johnny Depp and Htelena's work!!! They are so special!
They definitely are! 😍
The detail in this absolutely amazes me, I feel like I would have ran out of patience on the beading of the underskirt! Gorgeous doll she turned out phenomenal 😍
Thank you so much, Sarah!! Tbh with you , beads were not as bad as that fur on her cape 😂 that part really pissed me off 😆
She is beautiful. That is a dark bittersweet story. I never really watched or read this story before, but it is interesting
She’s beautiful! Your attention to detail is amazing.
My brother had a pet rat when we were in high school. His name was Albert, (Einstein!) He lived in a pile of my brothers old socks. She is awesome! Keep up the good work!
Love it 😂 we also had a rat when I was little. His name was Rat 😅 and he stole my big brothers ID once and hid it in his cage 😂
This is actually the best doll I’ve ever seen. Wow.
I'm honored! Thank you so much!!! 😍😍😍
"Would I do this again?" Insert Street Fighter the movie M. Bison Quote" "OF COURSE!" gif
I wish we could actually use gifs and stickers on UA-cam as well 😂 it would be so much fun
@@DollAfterlife I know right?! Party poopers 🤣 but seriously, you did an amazing job! Loved everything!!!
Plus, ppl like to see us suffer for some reason, I guess it's good entertainment 🙃
@@leonasworkshop thank you so much!
Yeh it's true 😂😂😂 I noticed that videos where I suffered the most always get the most views😂 so I guess it's worth it 🥲
Great job on the doll! Thank you for explaining the story behind the story of the nutcracker. I never knew the origin of the story
And thank you too for watching! I'm glad that you liked the story 😊
She is absolutely magnificent! So much details and hard work went into her! Really wonderful!
This is next level art, even Catherine The Great would be jealous!
Thanks! And I would happily work for Catherine the great if I could go back in time 😂
I think you get it…she is absolutely mindblowing. Your favourite films and actors are also mine. Your interpretation from the Nutcracker is really great. As always your detailed work is incredible…but the rat tiara my personal woweffekt. Thanks for sharing 😊
This whole idea started with a rat tiara 😁 Thank you for the kind words, I appreciate it 🙏🏻
What a masterpiece 😮❤👏 The dress is astonishing. Beautiful albinism. Great details… love all of it ❤🎉
I'm currently going through a nutcracker phase rn and I love this doll so much! She's so pretty 🤩
It's always nice to meet someone with similar interests! I'm collecting Christmas tree ornaments, and I have like 5 nutcrackers in my collection 😎😎😎 (yes, I'm bragging😂)
@@DollAfterlife That's awesome! My phase started after I saw a little nutcracker in a store. I couldn't buy him then but recently I went back and bought him. I now own the one that started it all lol.
@@avacado_but_misspelled loool!!! Good that you bought him though! Should treat yourself from time to time as well 💅🏻
@@DollAfterlife yeah lol
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!
This is a fun fact indeed!!! I knew about these pads, but I didn't know that they were called hair rats 😂😂😂 that's so cool! Thank you for sharing 😁
maybe I have a rodent bias but I think she turned out stunning! Very regal but the makeup is also giving mischievous evil queen vibes 😍❤
Also I love hearing your process when it comes to making your patterns. I know you do it for a living, but as someone who struggles with understanding patterns I find your explanations for things very helpful 😊
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I think it's pretty hard to find any information on pattern making online, so I'm glad I'm able to help people at least a little bit 😊💫
I needed to follow your channel after watching you sew all those little dots into the flower decorations on the fabric. A beautiful work full of details.
Thank you for following!!! 😍 I will not disappoint 💪🏻
She's beautiful, and the details you put in to her. Wow. She's amazing and what away to close the year with her. Just so beautiful ❤
Thank you so much 😍
The attention to every detail! I love this doll!!!!
she is sooo majestic! so regal! a worthy final challenge for 2023
She is breathtaking and phenomenally elegant!
I love how your brain works, your cultural references and your story telling. You are a very consummate artist It’s always such a treat to watch your videos.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! Thank you for watching and supporting me! ❤
STUNNING! And the rats' heads!!! So great.
That dress is Absolutely GORGEOUS! your sewing skills are perfect and I loved all the beads and lace...the Red Robe with the Fur ....the silver rose clasps....the black accents on the Fur! Wow! And her Crown! Again, Perfect! .....the doll is Beautiful! Supurb job! 😊👍
She's stunning! The details you put into her are amazing!
I really enjoy your videos and the fact that you tell stories and make jokes while creating.
Oh! I made Marie Stalbaum from the Nutcracker a few days ago! This Queen of Rats is amazing!!! ❤❤❤❤ wow!
What a coincidence! I like how we both chose characters from the Nutcracker 😁
High-five 🖐🏻
Oh my Christmas Magic she's Gorgeous! I saw everyone's Christmas special dolls & I love them all,
Starlight Dream Dolls should give this tutorial of the cape a go since the cape she made for Stolas wasn't cooperating, see you on your next video & Happy New Year.
She's amazing and truly worthy of a rat queen! ❤ Rats are my favorite animals, I've been keeping them for years and my boys are everything to me. They're just tiny floof potatoes with huge personalities. I love all of the details in the Rat Queen's outfit and her face is stunning, but somehow, my absolute favorite part are the ears. They look so realistic.
She's adorable. I love all the details you put into her.
She is simply stunning! You are an incredible artist. Every detail is perfect 😊❤❤❤
Thank you so much 🥰
She is beautiful and elegant! The perfrct queen
Although this was from 4 months ago, I can still say Christmas came early for me. 🖤 Seeing this marvel in the midst of a busy and toxic week, it gave me time to back-off and recharge. Thank you for sharing, as always. Her highness looks phenomenal, as your other lovely creations. 🖤🖤🖤
OMG!!!! It's so cute! The rats are very cute and intelligent, they are even very affectionate, incredible video^^ I loved every second ❤❤
She’s gorgeous and adorable
She is extraordinary! Every detail is so well done.
Thanks! 🥰
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. Just a weird Idea I got watch the video, I enjoyed seeing this have a good week to anyone reading this :)
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! It's actually a pretty interesting idea. I think every crown could represent a different part of the rat kingdom as well or something like that 😁
Have a great week too 😊💫
She is gorgeous! I especially loved crowns ❤
She looks very pretty.
The thing I think originally happened is that the child could have gotten a horrid illness that wasn't the flu, so she wasn't able to really have anyone get close and associated any doctors with the Rat King (maybe like the bubonic and the historically accurate plague doctors cause if you look up the original masks they look terrifying to kids) and she only had a couple toys in her room to entertain her thoughts, not realizing her body was succumbing to the illness more and more over time, hence the dreams getting more and more lucid. Maybe that's what the original story is about?
Oh it wasn't that bad, really 😆 The story was written in the 19s century, minimum 400 years after the plague epidemic,
and her doctor was also in the story and he looked normal.
@@DollAfterlife Oh shit, fair. Well still, there wasn't that great of medicine yet.
This is gorgeous! I can't believe the veins you did in the ears, they're so perfect. Your seamstress skills continue to absolutely blow my mind and I'm so glad to be able to pick up bits and pieces from you!
I'm glad I could help 😁
Simply amazing in every way! 😍The doll, the dress, the jewelry, everything turned out so beautiful! My favorite is the rat-head tiara with all the tiny details. Thank you for sharing your work and your thoughts with us.❤❤❤❤
the time and effort you put into your dolls is mind-boggling. i really enjoy watching you sew doll clothes, because i sew doll clothes too, but i try to avoid hand sewing as much as possible lol. and yes, fray check is a total game changer!
the doll is gorgeous, the outfit gorgeous, and then you also sculpt three tiny rat heads with crowns? that really brought her to the next level. great work as usual!
Thank you so much for the kind comment! I appreciate it 🥰
The poem you mentioned reminded me of a book, The Bear and the Nightingale. It’s a fantasy book loosely inspired by Russian history and richly imbued with Russian folklore.
I've never heard of this story before! I'll check it out 😁
This is truly stunning. She's so beautiful and regal looking. It's definitely worth your time and to wait on.
I really hope you make a nutcracker for her.❤❤
Thank you for the kind comment! I have a different character planned for the next Christmas, but @LadyDynamiteCreates made a Nutcracker this year already! You can check it out 😊
@Nerdy_Capybara your welcome. We'll I hope that you one day make a nutcracker bc in your style it will be epic.
I already watch her video and it's amazing. Love the drum she made and that she kept the line around the mouth so it look more like a real cracker
@@c.i.ponies5332 alright! I will think about it then 😁 besides, there's not so many male dolls around. Could be a good idea to make him historically accurate 😊
@@DollAfterlife well maybe someday you will. I just think they will look very nice together.
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
Thank you for the kind words Lil midnight! 😍 I will probably post some spoilers on Instagram soon 🧐 there will be blood, death, love, all our favorite stuff 😂
@@DollAfterlife indeed favourite! 💀🖤
Ok, your sewing skills, dedication and attention to detail is phenomenal! Also this was a very informative video, I can apply some of your techniques to my own projects!💜
Glad it was helpful! 😍 thank you for the kind comment 😊💫
I so appreciate your attention to detail. It is a pleasure to watch you work.
Love her, she's amazing.
She's stunning
Очень нравится получившийся образ. Стильно, красиво.
И особенно восхищает то, что одежда сшита на руках, без использования швейной машинки. Мало кто сейчас шьёт на руках, а жаль.
Спасибо большое 🥰
This is absolutely amazing! What incredible detail! I'm surprised you're not more popular than you are! New fave doll customizer!
It's an honor for me to hear that! 😍 Thank you so much. 😁
Heck she's adorable!❤
Thank you 🥰
WOW, she is regal. I can't wait till your Valentine one.
Thank you so much!!! I'll do my best 💪🏻
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.
I appreciate the kind comment, thank you so much! I thought may be if I show people my train of thought, it could inspire someone else too, or help them create their own designs 😁
I hope this year will bring you all the best too 💖
You are extremely talented and funny , the dolls are beautiful ❤
Hey, love your Rat Queen, she is gorgeous. Also, i've seen other doll creators use layers of pastels for the joints. That may help with the chipping.
Thanks!
And pastels also chip off pretty easy. Not everyone tells about it, but everyone has this problem. Sometimes pastels might be even worse, because they have pretty bad coverage, and you have to layer them a lot, which increases friction in joints and makes it chip off even faster.
She’s gorgeous and your skill is amazing!
Oh my god she is GORGEOUS!!!
very beautiful, i love the rats on her head! and the clothes are so perfect and neat!
THE DETAIL😍😍😍😍😍
You amaze me. Your rat queen is distinguished and perfectly elegant. I love that you take the time to teach us how you do things that I would never think of. Have a most wonderful new year, and may the officer that comes to check on you be not only handsome but kind and godly ❤
Helloooooo!!! Glad to see you again! 😁 thank you so so much for your support! I hope you're doing well 💖
Here to see what masterpiece you Did this time
Well, hello there 😁 Your tips really helped me to fix the rat noses btw 🥰
What a work of art. Magnificent!💖👍💝😊
Love your design choices! The attention to details and finishings are amazing, amazing job, she looks beautiful!
She looks amazing. Really impressed with your hand stitching. Every time I have tried to do hand stitching I have ended up with band-aid on my fingers... I have tried finger protection but it's too hard to do stitches when you have to have it on all your fingers for it to be effective.
Your videos are such a joy to watch, you are criminally underrated.
Your art is gorgeous and the references and facts you explain in the voice overs make it so interesting to listen to.
I was so shocked to see this video only had views in the tens of thousands :c
Thank you so much!!! 😍 I think with time I will get there 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Omg I love hilda. A new season came out this year
Me too!!! And I just finished watching the new season 😆 it's not as good as the previous ones, but it's still nice to see our favorite characters again. 😁
I want to cosplay this character so much, it's so beautiful❤️
Tag me on Instagram if you do! I wanna see it 😍
fell in love with every detail of this beauty 😍
Rats are great... Until yours finds a way to escape and turns your bed into a highway while she relocates all her stuff across the room XD
Well, it's also fun, isn't it 😂
@@DollAfterlife it is, even if I ended up being a speed bump. Lol. Those were great rats!
Wow, she is stunning! You incorporated so many tiny perfect details. Beautifully done!
She is simply GORGEOUS.
This doll is so amazing!!! Not only is it absolutely gorgeous, but the amount of thought, detail, and effort you put into every single aspect was incredible to watch. Just subscribed!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!!! There will be more projects like this to come 💪🏻
She's so beautiful!!
This is amazing! She's so beautiful.
Emily, that's fantastic!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing❤
And thank you for watching! 🙇🏻♀️
WoW, she is gorgeous. So much work but the result is stunning. ❤❤
Thank you so much! 😁 Much work is always the key 😆
that is just amazing. Your eye for detail is outstanding!
You are an Amazing artist, I love her from head to toe😊😍😍😍♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you so much 😍❤
I've been working over the festive period so I've just seen your video, omg! She is the Queen of Queens, absolutely stunning and probably your best doll to date. ☺😍
You are right in time, because I posted this video after holidays as well😆 Thank you so much for watching and this kind comment, i appreciate it 🥰
This video is so surprisingly filled with lots and lots of personal content, that's so sweet!! As an artist, I was almost crying while your talk on art style, but in a good way, you know. That's so inspirational and satisfying to hear, it means a lot for those who are self conscious like me❤ Thank you so much for the beauty you create!!
I'm glad my stories made you feel a little bit better! Its always nice to meet people you can relate to 😊💖
Absolutely majestic 👑.. love it soo much 🫶🏻✨💛 well done !!!
Какая тонкая работа! Жаль, что так мало подписчиков на канале, очень недооцененный автор. Желаю завируситься и попасть в топ Doll Makeover Artists. Вы этого достойны больше, чем кто-либо ❤🔥❤🔥❤🔥
Большое спасибо за добрый комментарий! 🥰
I love your needle work! your projects are always so flawless
I love your work! And after hearing your comments about the rat king, I wonder if you’ve seen the British animated movie based on the Terry Pratchett book, The Amazing Maurice and his educated rats. I think you’d like that one too!
I don't know this movie but I will check it out! Thank you for recommendation 😁👍🏻
I love the dress but I think a black and red one would have suited her too so it's not so matching with her pale skin but would match her eyeshadow
Yes I think it would work out well too. 😁
You, my dear, are a true artist!
A beautiful fantasy piece.
Absolutely beautiful doll!! Your work always makes me happy!!❤❤
I'm so glad! Thank you for watching ❤
