Sharon, she's a glorious creation - and a great improvement on the original! I love what you have done with her to give her such character.

[@sharonmikalauski6503]

Omg, she's absolutely adorable!! What a wonderful addition to the cast of characters 😀. Watching you sculpt her face was amazing. What talent. I can't wait to see her in the house. Great job 👍 once again 👏.

[@sherrygibbs7547]

What a beautiful old woman. The picture of the old man you found is ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I hope Radagast & Matilda have many good tea and talk sessions together.

[@kindhearted88]

She has to be the cutest witch I've ever seen, all she needs now is a little black cat 🐈‍⬛

[@BejaVue]

I'm so amazed!! This is really awesome!! You did an awesome job on her face!! I love how you added that hidden doll stand under her skirt. That sheer fabric is perfect on that scale!! Her hair looks so wonderful!! The way you made the hat, you would never know it's made out of foil!!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Aww!! Thank you very much for that wonderful comment. I truly appreciate it ❤️

[@markkevin7245]

She really come alive when hair went on… always surprises me how they become there own living thing when dressed.. your a Halloween god

[@agneschrismer9946]

She is beautiful! What a transformation. I love listening to you give instruction, very helpful and inspiring.

[@nephee7359]

the pipe cleaner arms made me laugh😂 this video will be really helpful, because i want to make some dolls like this, too😄

[@lauraharper7441]

I always watched your crochet videos. But recently found this one. I think it’s so interesting. Love watching these videos.

[@jenniferadams370]

Love her so much! She looks like the witch from Brave.

[@mezmarionybarra]

Oh my gosh, yes she does ❤

[@beckiedillon4050]

You always make everything so easy that looks complicated. Thanks much.

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

thank you very much for that great feedback. It means a lot 🥰

[@beckiedillon4050]

@WhereTheGnomesLive you're welcome. I've also learned that a lot of expensive supplies aren't always needed. Stuff thrown away every day can turn into some pretty awesome things.

[@frankenpine8071]

Fun ! Thanks for the knowledge !

[@carrie4910]

She is awesome!!! I have a mass produced porcelain doll i was wondering what to do with.

[@MaryDavis-h9j]

She is amazing. I always get the best tips from your videos!!! Now I have a better way to make a witch's hat! Thank you!!!

[@nevedavisitors9981]

Ohhh tus creaciones son siempre muy hermosas, muy llenas de espíritu.

[@mezmarionybarra]

Adorable Sharon❤. I should Tell you in case I haven't before You are my favorite Crafting Artist ❤when you're showing us something you've made It's so exciting❣️ and so precious that you mention how this doll is not rare/antique, and then all the ideas, brilliant , was thinking chop the legs but no, you just bend The Wire and still use the porcelain feet, exquisite exquisite work Thank You ❣️❣️❣️

[@girl4granted]

I just adore her!

[@debbralehrman5957]

That came out really great. I have that Victorian Maid. Not planning on changing her right now. But it is nice to know it can be done this way. Thanks Sharon👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 🍁🎃🍂🍁🍂🎃🍂🍁🍂🎃🍂🍁🍂🎃🍁

[@ClaudiaMcNeely]

She is beautiful! What a great idea!

[@TerryHitt-q6l]

I love her ! & I have been following you for a year now and I absolutely love everything you have made . I made a Gnomie as well all because of you ! You are so talented & inspiring . Thank you ❤ Can't wait to see her in the Pumpkin House !!!!

[@Julsfr]

Wow, beautiful...you really are talented 👌

[@cheriwhitley8385]

Your faces have always amazed me..I didn’t know those dolls were made out of what they r made of.lol…I’d hate to see what mine would look like..they never look like any of yours 🤣🩷

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you but I think mine always end up with older Finnish faces and I can’t seem to help that! I try to do differently but 🇫🇮 wins out lol And yeah, what they’re made out of was a shocker for me too! And here I thought my foil forms were primitive 😂

[@ПОДЕЛКИПЕРЕДЕЛКИ]

❤🇷🇺Привет из России ❤С удовольствием смотрела, как ты лепила лицо, очень интересно и необычно. Матильда получилась классная. 🎉

[@irenehough4441]

Wonderfully done.

[@teresahickey4380]

She is fantastic ❣️❣️

[@Lizs.Tallent]

I love it! Thank you for sharing!!

[@pattykelly6621]

Have you ever tried Sculpey Living Doll clay? Its Sculpey polymer clay made specifically for doll head and hands. It's a finer grade of clay made to hold the smallest of details. Just thought you might want to try it for your next doll project. I have seen it sold at Michael's so it is easy to find. You did a great job with this transformation. Brilliant way to work her hat. Bravo! I will miss the little mouse witch though.

[@marygatdula2744]

She is super cute. I like how you "just start." You are braver than I am! But I did finally start on my tree. I have to keep referring back to your videos, so if you suddenly find a lot more views, it's probably just me. LOL

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Aww that last part made me giggle lol thanks for that! And be sure to see my newer videos on bark since I learned a bit about texture paint and hiding patterns on certain paper towel. Have SO much fun. Now that you’ve started, it’ll never end 😂 Just a warning! My 1st one went on and on for over a decade 😅

[@jennyzane2164]

You are my all time favorite crafter! Love this!

[@mezmarionybarra]

You're right, she is amazing. I thought about it and I didn't know if I had told her That she was my favorite also, thank you❤

[@joanlauridsen2288]

You are amazing! How did you get that idea, to turn a wonderful doll House doll In to a witch? She is just wonderful. Thanks for showing us ❤

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you!! There’s a trend going around til tok where people turn their Willow figurines into witches by giving them hats and painting their dresses black. That got me thinking about this and what a time saver to be able to use a ready made poseable body.. but she needed more than a hat, these porcelain faces are way too petite and smooth lol. I’m looking forward to doing the same with my other ones now!

[@karanstirling8638]

Big Irish Welcome Matilda! ❤🎨❤

[@pamcolechadwell1302]

So cool, I never thought we could use a ready-made doll. She looks amazing. What about a Barbie Doll can we use them w clay?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

You could use a Barbie if you air dry clay. I’m not sure about using oven bake clay since the Barbie could melt..? I think it might melt but I’ve never tried it. I hope that helps 🙂

[@kathyshort5180]

I love this idea! Do you think it could be don to a porcelain doll with a shiny finish?

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

I believe the one I used had a shiny finish.. unless I’m misunderstanding the question?

[@sirencalloftoys9162]

I hope you keep making Pumpkin House videos. November is still pumpkin season! Indeed, Thanksgiving in the US is not until the 23rd this year. I would like to see what you do with the spaces inside the tree next to the Pumpkin House.

[@ghoulgoil5029]

She’s adorable. I love her!

[@MTB214]

Happy Halloween! Sowing clothes for live people wouldn’t work so good the way you did. Lol ;-) She came out great! You’re a great artist!

[@alisavogt2892]

She is gorgeous!❤

[@barbaragrace1992]

I really love your Mathilda. What height is she once she's done please? I tried to do one thus tiny a few years ago. Well let's just say you could see the lilac rinsed old lady somewhere in there. Lol

[@maggiehughes4283]

Thank you. Your make over has turned out fabulous and the witches face is perfect. How tall is the witch without her hat?

[@joannmatsko3838]

Another amazing tutorial. Thank you!

[@jantucker9355]

She’s darling!!🍄❤️🍄🎃🎃🎃

[@randomviking8676]

You did an amazing job on her hair! How did you curl the yarn? The moon 'pin' was the perfect touch. 😊 I also loved the way you added on the brim of the hat. I Never would have thought of doing that!

[@WhereTheGnomesLive]

Thank you very much, I appreciate your awesome comment! 🥰 I didn’t curl it, it’s called Boucle Yarn in greys. You can use any yarn, I chose that one just for the color. If you ever use it for hair, I cut a length and pull it at both ends. Once fully stretched out it’ll reveal 2 separate threads that the yarn is spun around, I pull those threads out to release the curl. It can be used as is, of course, but she’s a tiny doll so I had to thin the yarn out a bit. Hope that helps 🙂

[@randomviking8676]

@@WhereTheGnomesLive It helps Lots, thank you! 😃 So clever!

I love her so mich
