9:17 “Since this video is already very long...” *Aurora laughs in the distance*

You should make an evil sister for her, like a dark theme and a sour expression. I think that would be pretty awesome

How in the world do you keep your hands clean?!?!? I touch a paintbrush, and my hand burst into color all on their own.

I honestly like the overpowering blush it really helps bring out the hair like everything else in her makeup/faceup

Maybe you could make another mermaid but use glow in the dark paint for like a down in the depths of the ocean look

I don't really get why people are offended by the doll being "bra-less." Like realistically if mermaid were to exist, they probably wouldn't even wear them. Animals don't wear clothes, a fish lady probably wouldn't wear them either. It looks really beautiful!

me: can't even successfully put falsies on my own eyes dollightful: puts a teeny tiny eyelash on an equally tiny doll head

“Using a mannequin doll. Which is now my Laguna’s body with the Katring head..” ...is this the the first introduction to Manny? Is this her origin story????

Out of all the mermaid doll customs I've seen on KZfaq, this one is definitely by far, the best.

I'm waiting for mermaid number 2 will a ball jointed tail. Would be an amazing experiment!

Monster high: this is a perfect doll! No one can make a better one. Cathrine: hold my apoxie and paint

"So I'm thinking if I ever do a Mermaid 2.0, I'm going to try sculpting segments of the tail and stringing them together with elastic. You know, ball jointed doll style." **Exactly 2 years and 25 days later** "HERE'S A VIDEO ABOUT AURORA"

I was watching the first part and my mom leaned over to see and she was so enchanted. She didn't know that people did this and I had to give her a summarized explanation. She said she loves the mermaid and that you're an amazing artist +Dollightful

The color scheme on this doll is so perfect. It contrasts nicely and reminds me of a sunset over the ocean i saw on a trip to mexico.

i’m watching this pretty late at night, and i don’t know why, but this particular video feels almost hypnotic in a way. so calming! 😳😌

I can relate when you said “I’ve been interested in the ocean!” But....OH MY GOD!!! SHE TURNED OUT SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Her face is sooooo pretty and I love her accessories!!😻👍🧜‍♀️

Little did that "scrap Lagoona" know, that she'd soon grow up to be a mighty demon.

Mattel take notes.

Amazed at the amount of skill you have in sculpting, photoshop, drawing, styling, and construction! What an incredible doll!

Here after the dragon series. After all that practice you've had with articulated tails, I'd love to see you do a second mermaid ❤

"then we STAB the ears into the HEAD"

I know this comment is REALLY LATE (2018 anyone?! No?) but I wanted to suggest making a miniature mermaid tail out of silicone or latex, similar to what AkameruKawaii does?? idk if you know about her but I'd love to see you make a latex/ silicone mermaid tail for a doll! Love you btw ♥️

I absolutely ADORE when you do oceanic themed dolls, idk why i just love your style + ocean!

I like how you speak like its a tutorial type thing But do you actually think that we could ever copy your beautiful work of dolls? The time and effort you put into these is beautiful ♥️.

Honestly I would pay for your concept art. It's so amazing!!!

Can u do a zodiac series! That would be so cool!

*Elmers Glue All* Its the *strong* stuff

I love she's got this sort of 1920's flapper aesthetic, this one really holds up even 3 years later.

You should start selling your old dolls on etsy. I feel like a lot of people would buy them, they're awesome!

Please do more mermaids, i love mermaids =w= I thought about making my own but I'm still a beginner

When you put on captions it says “I bet this music will help you sleep” 😂

Even after three years this is one of my favorite of your dolls. Something about the bold, clean colors and the look of the faceup.

this is the prettiest mermaid custom doll I've seen yet! sopretty

Watching again for the twelfth time :) I think it would be wonderful if Cora had a few sisters to hang out with, perhaps named Lora and Zora? :3

Definitely one of my favorite dolls you’ve made. I love the color scheme, the fabric tail is incredible, and the face up with the painted 3D lashes turned out so cool

This will forever be my favorite doll you have made.

You call this a doll? Pfffft. *I CALL THIS A LITERAL MASTERPIECE.*

Love the work what it be awesome if she made a dragon

"Since this video is already very long" Oh past Dollightful, you pure naive soul

"This has already been a long video so..." Me: HA! *thinks about Aurora's video which was almost 40 min long*

please do another mermaid this ones beautifuulllll, maybe as a stock box doll? nature themed mermaid? or you could pick a type of fish and base them off of that? i don't know, i'm commenting in 2018 and i've loved your work for a long time, it would just be really cool to see another mermaid

This is gonna sound weird but i quite like the fact that she isn't wearing a shirt/bra i think it makes it look more natural! (and no it's not because i'm a perv)

Every body is always thinking “she is missing a bra” and I’m like “ focus on the AMAZING tail you judge mental person “☹️

3:46 ‘I make some fin-like ears, as well as some seashells and accessories out of sculpey clay’ Nerdy crafter is proud.

OMG I LITERALLY CANNOT! this is so awesome, and I am in love with everything! I wish there was something on her chest though like a shell or starfish lol. But this gave me life!

she looks awesome!! love your work

I am c r y i n g this doll's face up is so gorgeous!! I love the little pearls and starfish and those EYELASHES!! I can't even do my own eyeliner straight most days and Katherine is out here being flawless... Thank you so so much for these amazing doll videos, I love each and every one

Her color seem reminds me of tide-pods... ANYWAY! Love the vid! keep up the great work!

This is one of my all time favorites of yours!!! Her face is absolutely stunning and all the little details came together so flawlessly

I have never been interested in dolls, however I have a whole new appreciation for them seeing what goes into making them and the process as well as the result is incredibly!! I love it and I love your channel I'm so happy I found it

God this music is making me so goddamn relaxed 😴😊

I doubt u will see this but this was the first video of yours that I saw and with coppa on the rise, I want to say thank you for introducing me to this art form as well as inspiring me to try my hand at! thank you so much for the difference you have made in my life as well as countless others!

It would be really cool to try and make a doll with a snake body in place of legs. I wonder how that would look.

I would love to see you make a ball jointed mermaid doll!! It would look soooo good!!!

Honestly, it would be so cool if you did another mermaid but with a jointed tail. This is probably my favorite work of yours

Oh my God Looking at these oldish videos you can see how much she's learned over the time and it inspires me-

You know why this video is so amazing to me Because Cora is my name

She looks like a mermaid warrior

Dollightful, you should give lessons on how to do some amazing doll makeovers.

You should give her a starfish staff P.s:Love ur videos

ok but nOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT THE CAT AT THE END

This was an amazing video!!! If it's not too much trouble, I'd love to sea more videos like this! It seems kinda fishy how well you put her together tho :/ ... Oh I'm sorry, I hope I don't seem to crabby. I loved the vid!!

OH MY GOD SHE IS JUST SOO PRETTY

2019 now and this is still one of my favourite dolls! So much effort and time put into it!

At first I thought doll painting was kinda silly. But then I watched more of your videos and I was amazed! These are amazing! I hope you don't mind but I might use some of your doll looks for some cosplay oc's I do (I am a, starting out, SFX makeup artist to be)

she should make a mermicorno series like the eveeloutions

What I love most about you is that you are so patient and not me because I would have gave up at the tail part 😂

Also you put the factory- made-doll producers to shame. Super cute and enchanting.

She thought 12 minutes was long, now she makes 30 minutes videos

Catherine: more sparkles is always better! Moonlight jewel: *stands near*

7:30 I like em big, I like em *chunky*

10:25 Not a Princess Not a Queen, But a Goddess

i wish she will make a dragon it would be realy cool love da work

ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.

"since this video is already very long" aurora, nyx, terra, and zephie: ... are we a joke to you?

The cat at the end be like: They see me rollin they hatin

95% of comments saying “y’all she’s a mermaid stop saying she needs a bra” 4% of comments saying “omg I love ur work!” 1% or comments “she needs a bra”

Definitely my favorite doll custom ever! The mermaid look is beautiful and the colors perfectly compliment each other. I would love to see another mermaid doll on this channel!

Oh she’s so gorgeous!!! I just discovered your videos after thinking I ought to use all this extra time I’m finding myself with for a little creativity, and I just love how informative and willing to experiment you are! As we as being unbelievably talented, of course!!! Thank you so much for all the inspiration and entertainment!

Make a yin and yang doll it would be SUPER cool and zodiac dolls and a bunch more please....!!

She Looks Like Ariel In Her Mega Form. 😍😍

The best part of this are those ears!

Without eye lashes (not to be rude)... SHE GAVE ME NIGHTMARES!

this was an amazing and informative video, I love mermaids and think your design was super cute. I just wanted to say, in the future, use a baseball or ladder stitch when sewing these kinds of seam, the thread will be 100% hidden and your doll will be that much more amazing! I hope that wasn't rude, but I do couture sewing for a living, and I can tell from your video you want everything perfect! happy crafting!

im I the only that that get very sleepy from the music in the back ground?

She's so elegant and mysterious! I love her and you! ^-^

Can we just take a moment to appreciate her concept arts

i see all these comments about people talking about how the body is fine and you people need to stop hating and whatever. but i see no actual comments of people complaining about sooo?

literally the 99% of the comments are like: " STOP COMMENTING THAT THE DOLL HAS NO BRA" blah blah blah. But when you look for these comments, there AREN'T any of them😂😂

This is amazing! I loved the face. I cant imagine how long this must've taken.

So shiny* made me laugh lol. Wanted to thank you for your edits and filming yourself doing this. It’s not easy. I’m customizing my own dolls and I can’t imagine having to film everything. So, thank you so much it’s greatly appreciated and you gained a sub from me!

Approximate 270+ comments said anything about the doll needing a top (bra, starfish top, coral top, shirt etc.); Approximately 25+ comments said something about the need of nipples; Approximately 35+ comments said/hinted about the doll being inappropriate; All that is counted from today (02.11.2018) to around nine months back. Jcucjv yes, I have no life but it's interesting to see how many people were (and still are) literally butthurt about a mermaid looking natural lol. Kcjdhcjdjc anyway I think this doll repaint will always be one of my all time favourites! Love you Dollightful! ♥️

I am absolutely in love with this color scheme!

She’s so beautiful, I love mermaids🧜🏼‍♀️ and the ocean 🌊

The face up is always my favorite part because of how you can see so much more detail and how beautiful it actually is then what the thumbnail shows

I really love the fact that you didn't feel the NEED to cover her chest with seashells, starfish or I don't know what xD

Who else is hearing all of these "I hate all these people who are saying that she should have a bra" but could never find a comment that says so?

Love how she turned out amazing

“Since this video is already very long” Terra laughs in distance

No one is gonna comment how relaxing that music sounds XD
