It's embarrassing how easily I forget the seasons in the Southern hemisphere are opposite of where I live. 😅 I love that you embraced a spring themed doll for Halloween, and indeed, what better subject to choose than Midsommar? I learned so many great tips in this video! Pinning the wefts while they dry.. of course! And that absolute unit of a dress was a joy to watch come together. Happy Halloween Etellan :D

[@etellan]

Ahh thank you so so much for checking out the video, and for inviting me to the Collab, it was honestly so much fun. Kay Wren was absolutely such a treat to watch you create. She's such an amazing design! Happy Halloween!!

[@limalicious]

I think a lot of us easily forget! I constantly forget they have Christmas during Summer!

[@speccysquaregolike9629]

Yeah... we don't get white Christmases down here lol

[@Onsvaltti]

The doll is beautiful, but midsommar is middle summer festival, so, not really a spring theme. 😄 But it's a horror movie so, it still fits halloween. 🤷🏻‍♂️ People even make Krampus, even tho it's a christmas monster.

[@Canyouhandleth1s]

And in North Sweden we do actually have eight seasons.

[@bexseely2649]

I'm going to bare my soul real quick: I grew up in a cult, not quite as obviously nefarious as the Harga, but you noticing the bright colors mixed with the horror really hit home for me. I couldn't finish the movie when I decided to watch it a while back, and I have no plans to attempt to do so, but I love your interpretation, and especially your reading of the screenplay. Thank you for sharing your talents with us all

[@CausticEuphoria]

That's really intense, thank you so much for shareing. I hope your recovery is going well.

[@vampyrekyng_lex]

Wishing you the best 💖 I can’t imagine

[@lilliylil-lie43]

I'm sorry you went through that x

[@ewaberchulska]

The movie fucked me up so bad and I would consider myself pretty mentally strong, cant even imagine trying to watch that growing up in a cult

[@cruisindownthestreetinmy6490]

I did as well. Glad you got out, as did I (though it's still a work in progress) :)

[@letsnottalkaboutit6857]

I was literally just thinking about this movie

[@hannah.m.campbell]

ME TOO

[@Atomic_bombs]

[@uf-crys5522]

I loved this costume design in the movie!! It's so detailed in doll style!

[@etellan]

I'm glad you like it!

[@morganw.4711]

This is a brilliant combination of horror and beauty, and a wonderful nod to the changing seasons in the Southern Hemisphere. I’m so blown away by the level of detail you put into your dolls and Dani is no exception!

[@plushy9067]

The doll came out so beautifully, and yet so eerily haunting given the context

[@jackyohhhxo]

I haven't seen this movie yet but I've watched analyses on it and it seems like quite the experience. I really love her sad little face! i feel bad about the first crown you made! I dont think I quite comprehended how much work all the flowers were, it really is a beautiful effect. anyway, thank ya for collabing with me! happy halloween!

[@homura3434]

My gosh I absolutely ADORED Midsommar. Such a hauntingly bizzare and beautiful movie.

[@Arisenlicious]

Midsommar is one of my favorite horror movies. The aesthetics with the flowers and just the sheer horror of a cult. And Dani is such a good character. Florence Pugh did such a superb job conveying the emotions. I love love love this doll! The crying and frown are so spot on! Anyone reading this, have a splendid day! And remember you are loved and you’re not alone! 💕

[@avas.3405]

I’m in love with this doll!!! Midsommar is my favorite movie!!!!!

[@jayati6693]

Absolutely breathtaking portrayal of Dani, your work is inspiring❤️

[@hanananah]

I caught just a glimpse of this doll in dollightful's new video and I came straight here. This is amazing. You're a true artist for having the patience to glue flowers onto a teeny tiny cape for 4 days 😂

[@lachauntiswashington231]

She's Beautiful. great work 👏 👌 😍 ❤❤❤❤

[@yelloteef9408]

[@etellan]

Thank you😭 I really appreciate it so much!!

[@mimi077]

This doll looks simply amazing. I haven't seen the movie, though, but apparently it's on netflix so I will definitely check it out. also I love the music you used at 7:20, it suits the theme of the video very well

[@karensmithduh]

Such a masterpiece

[@Faesharlyn]

She was bereft then ecstatic, these were the last moments of the true Dani, slipping away down the May Queen's cheeks

[@KBarraza]

This is absolutely beautiful. Unfortunate to hear about the paper flowers on the crown falling into your coffee, liquid damage, couldn’t be painted over the coffee stains? Anyway, I’m glad to have found something new to enjoy cheers!

[@capraspastica8925]

I love your voice so much

[@najaecampbell6971]

Today is my birthday and this was beautifully made

[@otter4139]

would love to see you do something from hereditary or saw!

[@Monica_bondevik]

Now I'm curious about a horror film even though I can't do horror, it's an interesting concept though I may not be Swedish myself but my husband and his whole family are so it's weird for me to think of midsommar as a scary thing. 😅 Jag älskar dockan ("I love the doll" I'm still learning Swedish)

[@Skylars_Dead]

Did you use hot glue for the flowers on the dress or craft glue? Also I love your videos and I love the way the doll turned out!

[@etellan]

I used hot glue 🤗

[@etellan]

Oh and thank you!

[@starryabs583]

I WAS JUST THINKING ABOUT THIS

[@gracev1654]

i knew i watched that movie before but i just couldn't put my finger on it.

[@arrianachavez5011]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ElfInflicted]

Sorry if you answered this already, but what's the music you're using? It's beautiful.

[@victoriawynston9221]

Can’t believe danni said “:(“

[@Clownbunnycosplay]

I loser Midsommar, but I wouldn’t watch it, if you struggle with mental health issues, or get triggered easily, it’s a very intense film.

[@MoonlightJewel]

The sheer aesthetics of your videos combined with the absolute masterly craftmenship is mind blowing and gives me so much inspiration. A masterpiece ❤️💖❤️

[@etellan]

Oh my goodness, Thank you, I appreciate it so much! I feel the same towards you!! Thank you so much for collabing with me, its been an amazing experience! 🤗❤️

[@werewolfhours]

The ending of Midsommar is still one of the most haunting things I've ever watched in a horror movie. The doll is so beautiful and her expression is as haunting as Dani's, amazing work!

[@etellan]

Thank you so so much!❤️

[@brezzlendean77]

wait what happened

[@JasmineRachelle22]

I looked up a version of the scene at the end without the music and you literally hear the muffles paralyzed screams (trying not to give anything away idk lol) , I still haven’t recovered 🥲

[@MzRaven]

That movie is like the only "horror" that genuinely made me feel uncomfortable, disturbed and plays on my fears of being in the middle of nowhere, no signal and stuff like that~ scaaary :c

[@lumi6945]

ikr! and the ending scene- with the building and sacrifices in flames- the screams and the drugged out look on Christians face haunts me- and honestly I've never felt more anxiety from a horror movie that actually creeped me out in my life.

[@HeyitsBri_]

That was the scary part?

[@annasok1251]

I felt bothered the whole night after watching it. I was uncomfortable and disturbed to a point I became super irritable.

[@blitchcore]

@@HeyitsBri_ id imagine its more of a "nobody can help you" type of fear rather than a "no iphone" thing

[@Jabberwocky7890]

Happy Sunday from Sweden! I realize you worked with the fake flowers that were available, but if you ever want a more "authentic Midsommar celebration flower selection", I suggest mainly daisies, lupines, clovers, meadow buttercups, poppys, and cornflowers! For some reason, the movie opted to use a lot of flowers that would be *really* uncommon to use in reality. The leaves would also specifically be birch leaves! Really beautiful work, especially the hairstyle and tears!

[@etellan]

Oh wow I am honestly so grateful for the advice thank you! 🤗❤️

[@April0503]

@@etellan and we usually celebrate it in June but idk what the movie said so it’s fine

[@AlmostOtaku7]

@@lennie_grimes OR the dramaturg did the research, but the costumers, producer, directors, and camera people argues for a different mix for either flower language meaning, better look on film, cheaper availability, or personal taste.

[@xsxxnx4026]

maybe they didnt want the celebration to be completely tied to the film because of the dark themes of the film possibly they didnt want to demonise the actual celebration? thats just a guess though im not sure

Midsommar is such a great movie, and this doll portrais Danny so well ! This is my new favorite (I'm kinda biased, Midsommar is my favorite ''horror'' movie)

She has Ghibli tears! I love this doll so much, the Florence Pugh iconic pout was so good for this doll, Midsommar is such a trippy movie.

[@screech4505]

Not even half way through and I can already see how beautiful this doll will be. Midsommar and Ari Aster’s films in general are my favourite horror movies so it’s really cool seeing a custom doll based on it. I finished the video and at 20:58 I giggled at the flower stuck to the glue gun XD I must say I can only imagine how messy doing the giant flower dress must have been but I admire your dedication because it came out stunning. The crown you had to redo also came out beautiful just like everything else 🥰

[@etellan]

I'm so glad you like it! Haha oh my goodness I have been finding flowers everywhere around my house 😅 thank you so much for checking out the video! ❤️

[@MrSuperCustoms]

I’m so obsessed with her! I love that you stayed true to your style and didn’t go for hyperrealism, you always capture so much emotion in your dolls and this one is certainly no exception ❤️ both outfits are breathtaking, and the photos you took of her outdoors are seriously just pure art 🙌🏼

[@zenildacardoso5743]

Só de ver suas mãos machucadas,já prova o tanto que você se esforçou. Sou brasileira e mesmo não entendendo muito bem as suas palavras,já me tornei uma fã do seu trabalho. Você é simplesmente perfeita em todos os detalhes. Espero que mais pessoas possam ver o quanto você é incrível!! Boa sorte

This was so amazing, definitely watching that movie tonight. On a side note, I am so incredibly happy to see Etellan collaborating with Dollightful, two of my favourite content creators who I have wished to collaborate for so long have now done multiple works together, I think it would be really interesting to see a doll swap. Perhaps a similar theme each in their own style or even just a prompt

[@etellan]

Thank you!! I'm so glad you've been enjoying the Collabs. It's been an incredible experience working with her. A swap would be so fun 🤗

[@thegreatratking]

i would have never thought to use this movie for inspiration! its one of my favorites and love how it came out. and p.s. thanks for making videos, they always cheer me up when im sad about someting! and edit- keep the spooky videos coming, theyre so amazing!

[@etellan]

Thank you so much for checking out my videos and work, it honestly means so much. ❤️

[@MrsPinkyChiChi]

Brilliant choice! I can imagine your doll having the same effect as the movie. From afar, the beautiful flowers attract you but, as you get closer, you get uncomfortable and realize by her face that something is very wrong. Wonderfully executed as well.

[@cjkami6102]

Midsommer is like, the only horror movie that made me actually uncomfortable and queasy. But The doll is so beautiful!

Got here from enchantarium!! I Love the Southern Hemisphere take on a Halloween doll! It’s always such a fall thing and I love to see some flowers. I haven’t seen the movie but I know the story, it’s scary knowing how easy it is to fall into a cult. Edit: I just finished the video! LOVE the doll!!! You did an amazing job

[@kyra1499]

I absolutely love how your mind works! The way you twist different themes together just works so well! I feel so relaxed and inspired when I watch your videos. I'm a florist and I love bright colors so this doll just made me smile! Keep up the amazing work. ^_^

[@ctgraphy]

Skol!!! I GASPED when I saw your doll pop up at the end of Dollightful's video! Stunning job. I very much enjoyed seeing how you engineered the absolute UNIT which is the Mayqueen Dress. Also thanks for breaking down the facial choices. As an artist, I love hearing others thoughts on how to render expression. 🌺🌻🌸🌼🌻

[@keegyischeesy822]

After watching your video, I was curious about the movie so I watched it. I can’t tell if I loved the movie or hated it because at the end, I wanted to vomit and bleach my eyes yet I had a sense of satisfaction. It was definitely a unique movie with lots of things you wouldn’t see in others like it. A cinematic awakening if you will.

[@Ysckemia]

i'm too sensitive to watch the movie. i've read the plot on wikipedia and decided it was too much for me. but i'm happy to see this insane royalty cape.

[@mallorytrizisky211]

i love this concept, as much as i love fall and the changing of leaves and such, fall is all about creepy thing but also harvesting my herbs and drying them out for the winter. so i relate to this doll concept so much, because to me fall is all about taking old life and turning it to something new.

Even in Art, I hate to see someone so sad... I just want to give her a hug forever

[@Dylan-ug6jp]

Absolutely Beautiful, I agree with your choice to not search for the realism, in my jumble opinion you got what is the essence of Dany in the movie especially at the end, not a free person ( as many others think, incredibly), but a sad, empty, beautiful broken doll. My utmost respect for this great work, you reached an outstanding level, as well as all the other artists, it was an absolute joy to see these many fantastic works all together, thank you so much. ❤️

This doll, like the film itself, is an absolute work of art. I feel that by aiming for the atmosphere and Dani's emotions over imitating her physical appearance, you managed to capture her perfectly.

Your amazing artwork and this colourful nightmare of a movie go so perfectly together, and I hope you will do more movie related dolls! Please come visit Sweden some day, especially around Midsommar. I promise that there won’t be any weird hairs in the food! (Except if the mating ritual is around the corner, of course)
