Q & A

  • Who is My Tai in the context of the video?

    -My Tai is a doll character previously created by the artist for a collaborative project, inspired by the summery cocktail of the same name.

  • What inspired the creation of the Margarita doll?

    -The artist was inspired by the idea of creating a companion for My Tai and chose to theme the new doll, Margarita, around another summery cocktail, incorporating lime green to complement My Tai's yellow color palette.

  • Why did the artist choose the Headless Head Mistress Bloodgood doll as the base for Margarita?

    -The artist chose the Headless Head Mistress Bloodgood doll because her head easily detaches, facilitating customization, and because her skin tone matched the vision for Margarita, saving additional work.

  • How does the artist handle a tear in the doll's head during the re-rooting process?

    -The artist repairs a tear in the doll's head by preparing a small weft of hair as a large plug, inserting it into the tear, and securing it with fabric glue, which is allowed to dry overnight.

  • What precautions does the artist take when using Mr. Super Clear sealant?

    -The artist stresses the importance of using Mr. Super Clear sealant in a well-ventilated area while wearing a respirator mask for safety, as it is essential for creating a drawable surface on the doll's vinyl face but can be harmful to inhale.

  • How does the artist create the eye makeup for the Margarita doll?

    -The artist starts with pastels to warm up the plastic face and then uses watercolor pencils for fine details like the eyelashes and irises, and switches to gouache paints to add opacity and finalize the details.

  • What unique technique does the artist use for curling the doll's hair?

    -The artist uses pipe cleaners to curl the doll's hair, a method deemed easier and cleaner than previous techniques. The hair is wrapped around the pipe cleaners, then treated with boiling water to set the curls.

  • How does the artist construct the doll's headdress?

    -The artist creates a headdress using air-dry clay to form fruit shapes and other elements, which are then painted and assembled on a felt base pinned to a spare doll head for easier handling during construction.

  • What challenges did the artist face when making the grape accessory?

    -The grape accessory was challenging due to the artist's desire to have the grapes dangle naturally. The solution involved making individual grapes on embroidery thread stems, then tying them into bunches for a natural drape.

  • What are the artist's thoughts on the final look of the Margarita doll?

    -The artist was initially unsure about the doll's appearance, especially the face, but felt that the styled green curls significantly enhanced the overall look, making the doll appear more complete and satisfying.

🎨 Customizing Margarita: A Summery Beach Doll

The video begins with the creator expressing excitement for Summer and a dream of a beach vacation, which inspires the creation of a new doll named Margarita. The doll is loosely inspired by the refreshing cocktail one might enjoy at the beach. The design process includes choosing lime green as a featured color to complement the doll's yellow color palette and deciding on a top-heavy design to balance out the doll's bottom-heavy silhouette. The customization process involves removing factory paint, re-rooting the hair with a custom blend, and detailing the face with pastels, watercolor pencils, and gouache paints. The doll's outfit is designed to reflect a Mexican theme, with a bathing suit, shawl, and ruffles made from air-dry clay and fabric.

05:02

👗 Designing the Outfit and Accessories for Margarita

The second paragraph details the process of designing and creating Margarita's outfit and accessories. The doll's bathing suit is made from semi-stretchy white rayon, with edges hemmed by hand and secured with embroidery thread and velcro. The shawl is crafted from bright yellow cotton, with ribbons painted on instead of sewn due to a lack of small ribbons. The swimsuit and shawl are adorned with ruffles and fringes made from strips of fabric. The doll's headdress and accessories are made from air-dry clay, including a variety of fruit shapes and a cocktail umbrella. The fruits are painted and have holes drilled into them for attaching metal loops or threading them onto the doll's accessories. The effort put into creating the detailed and colorful accessories is emphasized, showcasing the creator's dedication to the craft.

10:03

🍇 Crafting the Fruity Headdress and Styling the Hair

The third paragraph focuses on the creation of the doll's fruity headdress and the styling of its hair. The headdress is assembled on a spare doll head using felt as a base, with each fruit element being stitched or glued onto it. The grapes, a particularly challenging part of the headdress, are made by attaching individual clay grapes to embroidery thread stems. The doll's hair is styled into full curls using pipe cleaners, a technique that the creator found easier and cleaner than previous methods. The curls are then set with boiling water and allowed to dry before being carefully removed and separated to add volume and a natural look. The final result is a doll with a striking head of green curls that, according to the creator, significantly enhances the overall appeal of the project.

15:05

📸 Margarita's Photo Shoot and Teasing the Next Doll

The final paragraph concludes with a photo shoot of the completed Margarita doll, highlighting the doll's large scale and the successful integration of bright colors in her design. The creator expresses satisfaction with how the colors turned out and the balance achieved in the multicolor palette. The video ends with a teaser for a third doll in the fruity lineup, hinting at future content for viewers to look forward to.

This includes repainting the doll's face, re-rooting the hair, and designing a new outfit.

💡Margarita

A Margarita is a well-known cocktail that typically consists of tequila, lime juice, and orange liqueur, often served with salt on the rim of the glass.

💡Re-Rooting

Re-Rooting is the process of removing a doll's factory-installed hair and replacing it with custom hair, often made from doll-safe materials like nylon. The video demonstrates re-rooting by using a mix of 'sour apple and envy nylon doll hair' from dollyhair.com to give the doll a new hairstyle inspired by the character concept.

A headdress is an item of clothing worn on the head, often for decorative purposes or as part of a costume. In the video, the doll is given a fruity headdress made from air-dry clay, which includes elements like bananas, watermelon slices, and grapes, adding a playful and thematic touch to the doll's overall design.

💡Fringes

A fringe in fashion refers to a decorative border or trim made of loose, hanging threads or strands. In the video, the artist adds fringes to the doll's shawl using embroidery thread, which is sewn on in loops to create a decorative and colorful edge that complements the doll's beach-themed outfit.

💡Embroidery Thread

00:53

mostly I knew that I just wanted lime

00:55

green to be a featured color I think

00:57

it'll look great with my TI's yellow

00:59

color

01:00

palette speaking of my tie her

01:02

silhouette is very bottom heavy by which

01:04

I mean she's got this big skirt that

01:06

gives her a triangle shape so as much as

01:09

I love the pants and Shaw combo of the

01:11

Middle Design I think it's too

01:13

similar to balance the pair out I chose

01:16

the topheavy design of the third drawing

01:18

but added that Shaw back in cuz I really

01:20

wanted to make

01:22

it so that's our final design if you

01:25

couldn't tell just from looking at the

01:26

colored stripes and Ruffles her design

01:29

draws inspiration from Mexico a little

01:31

nod to the origins of the margarita

01:35

cocktail I'll be using the first

01:37

generation Monster High doll headless

01:39

head mistress Bloodgood as the base in

01:42

the original Monster High fiction she

01:44

was based on the headless horsemen which

01:47

means her head pops right off they

01:50

designed it to come on and off easily as

01:52

a customizer I wish every doll was like

01:55

that all right gang you know the drill

01:57

chop

01:58

chop fish out the leftover plugs with a

02:01

pair of

02:03

pliers this can be done more easily if

02:05

you periodically soften the head in hot

02:10

water remove the factory paint with 100%

02:13

pure

02:14

acetone now she's ready to

02:18

customize they gave the head mistress

02:20

really strong features didn't they I

02:22

guess they were aiming to sculpt a more

02:24

adult face compared to the teenager main

02:26

characters it doesn't really match the

02:28

vision I have for my own character but

02:30

I'll see what I can do the body is not a

02:32

perfect fit either but I decided to go

02:34

ahead and use this doll because the skin

02:36

tone was right you know and that saves

02:38

me so much

02:39

work hair this Hank is a mix of two

02:43

colors sour apple and envy nylon doll

02:46

hair from dollyhair.com

02:48

it's a beautiful and subtle custom blend

02:51

isn't

02:52

it I bought this years ago for a doll

02:55

that never panned out so it's satisfying

02:57

to finally use this hair for something

03:00

do you have anything like that in your

03:01

craft closet it's like at last that one

03:04

thing I've had for over 10 years I knew

03:06

I'd use it eventually this justifies

03:09

carrying it around every time I move to

03:11

house

03:12

[Music]

03:15

right sometimes you get a small tear in

03:17

the head like this not to worry here's

03:19

what to do prepare a small weft of hair

03:22

about the same size as the tear and glue

03:24

the ends together basically we've made

03:27

an extra large plug for this specific

03:29

tear

03:30

wait until the end of the re-root then

03:32

slot it in place because it's a bit

03:33

looser than the other

03:35

plugs flip the head over and fill the

03:37

head with fabric glue as usual being

03:39

sure to coat that special w we just put

03:43

in let it dry overnight and when you

03:46

come back the next day bundle that

03:47

beautiful hair away in a protective

03:49

fabric mask in preparation for the face

03:52

up pins around the hairline give you the

03:55

perfect mask why bother with masking off

03:58

the hair because of this stuff

04:00

Mr super clear sealant this stuff is

04:03

essential for creating a surface to draw

04:05

on the vinyl face but will discolor doll

04:07

hair and make it feel icky too as always

04:10

spray in a ventilated area with your

04:12

respirator mask on for

04:14

safety yeah I was working in my pajamas

04:16

that

04:19

day as always you can find a full list

04:21

of materials that I use for this doll in

04:23

the description box below the

04:26

video I never know if somebody's

04:28

watching for the first time so I always

04:29

make sure to mention that I begin with

04:32

pink pastels over the eyes apples of the

04:34

cheeks and a little on the nose and

04:36

forehead this warms up the plastic and

04:38

makes it look more like real

04:40

skin Dusty pastels can also be used to

04:43

block in the eyebrows and lip

04:47

color refine The Pastels with a kneed

04:51

eraser next I sharpen the lines and

04:54

begin to draw the face and eyes with

04:56

watercolor

04:57

pencils I'm feeling confident today okay

04:59

so I jump right in with the black

05:02

pencil sketch in the Lash lines the

05:05

eyelid the iris and those fluffy

05:09

eyelashes I decided a dark Smoky

05:12

eyeshadow would match the hot pink lip

05:14

color well my tie has a very colorful

05:17

eyes shadow look going on so why didn't

05:20

I do the same with Margarita not sure

05:22

but it might have to do with her strong

05:24

facial features I didn't want the

05:26

character to look gy and felt that the

05:29

hot pink lip Li stick color was enough

05:31

she's walked right up to the line but I

05:33

don't think she crosses it don't get me

05:35

wrong this is a very makeupheavy look

05:37

but still tasteful I hope you

05:40

agree besides with the bright lime green

05:43

eyes we still get plenty of color in

05:49

there I switched to gouache paints to

05:52

finalize the details and add opacity to

05:54

the

05:55

colors dot on those Oho sparkly eye

05:59

shines and we'll call the face

06:01

[Music]

06:06

done two or three final layers of Mr

06:09

super clear sealant should do the trick

06:11

and then you can remove the hair

06:14

mask once IID finished the face I was

06:17

looking at her thinking are the eyes too

06:19

big like unsettlingly big maybe I

06:24

basically stuck to the parameters of the

06:26

mold so I don't know how this happened I

06:28

mean it's not like I ever go for realism

06:30

anyway but I'm not sure about this one

06:34

guys let's turn our attention to her

06:36

outfit although far from perfect I

06:39

sketched up some rough drafts of her

06:40

bathing suit and Shaw based on existing

06:42

patterns from my library altered from my

06:46

basic shirt pattern in fact so versatile

06:49

pardon the

06:51

plug the shaw I stitched up with bright

06:53

yellow

06:56

cotton next I would sew on the ribbons

06:58

but I don't have any ribbons this small

07:00

so we're going to use paint instead I

07:03

paint white onto the fabric

07:05

first then the colors to make sure they

07:08

show up nice and

07:09

bright finally The Fringe I love a good

07:13

Fringe on the end of a garment all you

07:15

need is embroidery thread and a little

07:17

patience I sew Loop by Loop across the

07:20

bottom Hem Of The Shaw and around the

07:21

Cuffs before cutting and trimming the

07:23

threads

07:27

straight lovely

07:33

the swimsuit I cut out of semi stretchy

07:35

white rayon I want to say it is it wraps

07:39

around the doll's body like

07:41

so I turn under and hem all the edges by

07:44

hand before adding embroidery thread

07:46

straps and velcro in the

07:50

back Monster High doll's swayback design

07:53

can make clothes like this a challenge

07:54

to sew but I think it looks good enough

07:59

I prepared three long strips of the same

08:01

fabric and painted stripes on these as

08:03

well using the same

08:06

acrylics then I ran a stitch down the

08:09

raw Edge and gathered each strip until

08:12

it was a full fluffy

08:14

ruffle one at a time I sew each ruffle

08:17

to the bathing suit and

08:20

voila it uh it actually came out a

08:23

little Fuller than I intended these

08:25

Ruffles are really ruffly I probably

08:27

should have taken them off and tried

08:29

again but it took so long to sew them on

08:32

that I kept telling myself this looks

08:33

fine what do you think too

08:38

much the best part about these dolls are

08:41

the fruity headdresses and accessories

08:43

so let's make those next out of air dry

08:46

clay I formed the basic shapes of

08:49

bananas watermelon slices oranges and

08:52

more as well as using the clay to block

08:54

out her sandals while I'm at it

09:00

the bunch of grapes was the biggest

09:03

challenge I spent a long time thinking

09:05

about how to make this because I want

09:07

the grapes to dangle and drape naturally

09:09

at top the doll's head I finally decided

09:12

to cut a whole bunch of embroidery

09:13

thread stems and stick a grape on the

09:15

end of each one the knot in the thread

09:18

should help the clay hold

09:22

on the next day after the clay has fully

09:25

dried sand down and refined your fruity

09:27

shapes

09:29

then it's time to

09:31

paint a bright paint job really helps

09:34

sell it even rudimentary clay blobs can

09:37

be painted to look fairly convincing I'm

09:40

a better painter than I am a sculptor so

09:42

I tend to rely heavily on a good paint

09:44

job much of my acrylic paint is fairly

09:47

transparent so it's going to take a

09:48

couple coats to become opaque some of

09:51

the paints I'm using are fluorescent too

09:52

so they look super bright and saturated

09:55

I'm loving

09:56

it you know what's fun about this hobby

09:58

or really any hobby where Miniatures are

10:00

involved anything you make always looks

10:03

Charming take a normal thing like an

10:05

orange slice and shrink it down and it

10:07

just becomes cute you know everything is

10:09

so cute when it's small look at these

10:11

little tiny

10:14

bananas once I'm done painting I take an

10:16

equally tiny hand drill and drill holes

10:19

into most of the fruit pieces the orange

10:21

slices will be her

10:23

earrings and the small fruit slices her

10:25

belt so they need metal Loops a rounded

10:29

pair of of jewelry pliers really comes

10:30

in handy for stuff like

10:34

this I'll string the bananas together at

10:36

the stems so they all need holes

10:39

too I Bunch up four bananas and three

10:43

bananas then layer them like so for a

10:46

full set of

10:52

bananas her flip-flops will get straps

10:55

so I prepare a hole for those as well

10:58

then run an embroider thread Loop

11:00

through like this gluing the back of the

11:02

loop to the sole of the shoe and the

11:04

ends of the threads to the bottom of the

11:06

shoe out of

11:14

sight The Grapes though boy they took

11:17

some work I taped them to the edge of my

11:20

desk to paint them all for starters I

11:22

also glossed each individual grape with

11:25

varnish too because I want them to be

11:26

shiny

11:29

once every grape was finally dry I tied

11:32

them together in bunches of five or more

11:36

grapes combine the bunches into one

11:39

final Mega

11:41

bunch and tie them together again

11:44

keeping everything tied not glued lets

11:47

me tug and finesse the shape of the

11:48

bunch after it's on the doll what do you

11:51

think was the effort worth it I like how

11:54

it drapes but a part of me thinks I

11:56

should have saved myself the trouble and

11:57

just sculpted a solid bunch of clay

12:02

grapes now to arrange our fruity

12:04

accessories into a magnificent headpiece

12:07

grab a spare head to make this step

12:10

easier pin a piece of felt onto the head

12:13

to act as the

12:15

base then one element at a time Stitch

12:18

or glue everything to the felt

12:38

we'll need to access the pins at the end

12:40

of all this so be mindful not to cover

12:42

them up with a slice of watermelon or

12:45

anything lastly one of my favorite Parts

12:48

about this headdress the cocktail

12:49

umbrella I love these little things I

12:53

trim down the toothpick and hot glue it

12:55

in place

12:56

[Music]

13:01

remove the pins and the headdress is

13:04

ready before we put it on our doll

13:06

though there's one last step to take

13:08

styling the

13:11

hair I've drawn her with a full head of

13:14

curls so to achieve this look we're

13:16

going to use pipe cleaners that's right

13:18

you've probably seen me curl doll hair

13:20

time and time again with straws and

13:22

bobby pins but this method of curling

13:24

doll hair popped up on my Instagram feed

13:27

I think I first saw it on the doll

13:28

planet

13:29

it looks really easy so let's give it a

13:33

go take a pipe cleaner place it on the

13:35

top of the doll's head and wrap the

13:37

doll's hair all the way down pinch the

13:39

pipe cleaners around the hair at the top

13:41

and the bottom and Bam one curler is in

13:44

place I divided the hair and placed

13:46

plenty of pipe cleaner curlers because I

13:48

want relatively tight full

13:51

curls once they're all in place on her

13:54

head and she's looking like Medusa heat

13:57

up the kettle and Drench the hair with

13:59

plenty of boiling water I'm going to do

14:01

this over the sink I'm just miming it

14:05

here I wait a full day to make sure the

14:08

hair is dry before gently unwrapping

14:10

each

14:10

ringlet I did find the pipe cleaners

14:13

harder to remove than the straws but

14:15

overall I'd say this method is way

14:16

easier and cleaner I'm definitely going

14:19

to use this technique from now on highly

14:21

recommend

14:23

it split each ringlet three or four

14:26

times to add volume and make the curls

14:28

look more natural

14:30

and we're done look at that

14:35

wow can I be honest with you guys I

14:37

wasn't loving this doll and still wasn't

14:39

sure about the face right up until the

14:41

very end here but now that she's got

14:44

this waterfall of green curls like I

14:46

love

14:48

her who knew that the hair alone could

14:50

save this

14:53

project see for yourself like with all

14:55

the elements of this doll combined it's

14:57

her incredible head of hair that pulls

14:59

it all together and does the heavy

15:00

lifting in my

15:02

opinion and with that let's sit back and

15:05

enjoy her photo shoot

15:25

[Music]

15:49

this lady is a tall drink of water y'all

15:52

I hadn't realized how big the head

15:53

mistress Bloodgood doll was I guess I

15:56

never held her up next to my other dolls

15:59

so her large scale wasn't intended but I

16:01

love that it happened she really

16:03

commands the space like a highly paid

16:06

runway model or

16:08

something I'm also very pleased with how

16:10

her colors came out monochrome or

16:13

limited color palettes are easy but

16:16

multicolor palettes are the hardest in

16:17

my

16:18

opinion it's a challenge getting bright

16:21

colors to work well together in one

16:23

design and I think Margarita struck a

16:25

really nice balance while still being

16:27

super saturated

16:29

[Music]

16:42

[Music]

16:54

we're almost ready for the beach but

16:56

wait someone's missing yes I'm getting a

16:59

vision for a third doll in this fruity

17:02

lineup I've already got the concept art

17:04

worked out and I can't wait to make her

17:06

so make sure you come on back later for

17:08

another fun doll customizing

17:11

video thank you so much for watching and

17:14
