Today we will make a beautiful and cold Winter mermaid out of a Monster High doll that I've got from one of you! We willreroot her hair, draw a new doll face and I will also decorate her tail with sparkling iridescent sequin.

Hand-scaling the tail with sequins was so ambitious and it paid off!!

[@stephanienoire1892]

Double layer too 😳😳😳✨

[@hez5160]

My jaw dropped when she started it. It looks incredible but SO TEDIOUS. That's why she's the professional.

[@samanthapateman8054]

Raya Zara so patient, those are the type of jobs that when you get to a certain point you question yourself and think why did I do this to myself, I must hate me. I normally start to rush it and then mess it up or I don’t finish it and just look at it with disgust and fear.

[@nightshadecherry46]

Another absolutely adorable makeover! 😍🥰 And the merch is pretty cool as well! It was so cute to watch how excited you are! 🤭🥰 And frankly you deserve to have this much followers because you're doing amazing stuff here! ❤️

[@zuziiice8907]

@@hez5160 now watch as a toddler gets their hands on the doll. Them sequines will be popped like candy. 👶

You can’t put THAT much glitter on a doll. Poppen: hold my mister super clear

[@zitakovacs11]

I can't believe you glued every single one of those flitters by hand. Insane!

[@Veyliann]

I kinda wish she did it for the forearms too, it would have been dreamy x)

[@nspindlow5046]

I know right!

[@EuVivi0587]

I love her patient!

[@trekadouble757]

It looks so good! Does someone know if we can buy sequins that don't have a hole in the middle? It is the only thing that I didn't like about the doll. Maybe painting the tail white before gluing the sequins would have also made the holes less visible.

[@Nonsequitoria2010]

FLITTERS 8D

Antartic mermaid, oh we have this on Finland. It's called "avantouimari" or "My grandma swore the water wouldn't be cold after a sauna even though it's december and now I cannot feel my body from the neck down"

Funny, but may be in Finland have Artic mermaid.....

@@carolinareig1325 I was thinking the same, if it's a Northern Ice Mermaid, then it's Artic. Like, Antartic is down here at South pole with all the penguins and whales xD

You should make a Nutcracker themed doll for the holidays!

[@misskayelizabethdee]

That would be an amazing idea!

Ooohh agree! Bet it would be fabulous!

There’s a two headed mermaid from the same mermaid collection called Peri and Pearl I never see anyone attempt to repaint it but it’s a pretty unique doll

[@jessicawatson9430]

Oh I know what doll you are talking about. A friend of mine has it

[@Gothymothmoth]

the Grate Scarrier Reef doll line Is a bit more on the 'rare' side I have nearly all of them, a double of the two headed doll I wish I could send to her to paint!

[@darkstar2874]

Poppen, how far up the tail did you get with the sequins before you started questioning all your life decision? 😆

[@helenahay4958]

For me it probably would have been on the third sequin when I realised each time I added a sequin the others would move since the glue wasn’t set and I’d have to constantly reposition them!! I can’t believe she did it, that’s phenomenal patience

[@sunflowermonroe666]

😂😂😂

[@PoppenAtelier]

I was ready to give up after the first 5 min))))))) but then I got kinda used to it))))

[@paigetowler4681]

I'd love to see more creations based on the monster high dolls with wings/tails/horns/etc!

[@RobertoCavalcanteChumboFeliz]

There's an ice mermaid goddess called Sedna, that would be a incredible name for this project. 🖤

[@LittleBulleteye]

But Sednas fingers were chopped off?

Aw, that's such a cute idea, hope she does that 😁

Kind of like what doll motion did with Pyrus!!

[@GrimReaper-dp5sq]

you could always just watch Cats haha

[@JenniferSnaps]

I think there's a movie about that

[@brandyc9645]

Or she could repaint a actual cat doll

[@leezahbat]

She's lovely, and I find it mind blowing that you sat and placed each and every one of those sequins by hand! Unbelievable!

[@apollo_ire]

You should see the monster high posea doll. Daughter of Poseidon. She’s a reef type thing for legs and sirena von boo. Ghost and mermaid hybrid. They’re both so beautiful.

[@welcome2myhappyworld]

Just looked them up, man I wish the dolls made when I was growing up were as creative as the Monster High dolls!

[@apollo_ire]

@@welcome2myhappyworld right?? Aha the monster high dolls are so nice. I wish I had them growing up instead of just Barbies

[@StoriesbyIrish]

I didn't know they made a Posea doll 👀 My daughter got me into Monster High back when she enjoyed it and I still like them 👀

[@zamiaramirez1390]

That whole line had a lot of pretty dolls.

so beautiful 🥰 I knew you would be able to make something gorgeous and make much better use of my dolls than I did! this is more amazing than i could have imagined, love your work! -Caitlin from America

[@AadenKDragon]

For Christmas can we get a Nutcracker and a Sugar Plum Fairy/Princess set??

[@keziagroesbeek9935]

Does anybody else watch other doll repaint content and when the person does anything slightly different to how Poppen does it you're horrified like "WHAT ARE YOU DOING??" Because you're so accustomed to how Poppen does it

[@Ahinana]

omg yes, i alwasy get triggered when other draw on dolls heads with quite unsharp watercolor pencils. And heating heads with water :[

[@AadenKDragon]

Yes. So much yes. Like I cant hexion AT ALL because he hardly ever does anything to the body itself. He doesnt change the skin color, he doesnt blush anywhere, and I get anxious. Like.. I love his faces and outfits but Poppin has spoiled me for a fully done repaint. Lol Edit: I cant watch Hexion***

[@electraheart7745]

Nope because people have their preferred methods

[@hannahe7500]

i actually really enjoy seeing little differences like that in peoples artistic processes lol !!! :^)

[@Eeee-xl4xb]

I have the same thing with dollightful, I couldn’t watch other creators. But that’s kinda gone now and I enjoy a few other creators

[@amandamichelle83]

She is absolutely beautiful. She reminds me more of various myths of divine sky serpents before they earn their full dragon wings than a mermaid.

[@helenahay4958]

The sequins. Oh my god the sequins! Immaculate!! Oh I love this SO much!!!!

Maybe consider turning all of the animals into dolls. Like, a beautiful doll whale, or a beautiful doll penguin, a horse, or an octopus. I think it would be very interesting series like, African animals, sea animals, polar animals, barnyard animals, etc., all being recreated into beautiful dolls. Some could be male! ❤
