She just wants a hug! I made a lonely Cactus Fairy for the Valentine's Day.

Hi there!
I know, I know. The Valentine's Day was last week, so this video is a little bit late.
To be completely honest - this project wasn't originally on my schedule, so I didn't have the base doll prepared in advance.
Almost every single part of this project was insanely time consuming, but I hope, that in the end, all my efforts paid off.
It's a tradition now, here on my channel, that Valentine's specials have to be a bit sad, so this girl isn't an exception. Little lonely Cactus Fairy... just longing for some warm hug.
I hope that she will get some love from you, to ease her sorrow :)
Enjoy!

The real tragedy is that the Kevlar Fairy has always wanted to give the Cactus Fairy a hug, but fears rejection.

[@beheroot]

i think you just give next fairy idea to Marzena :D

[@Kalleron]

🤣 What would a Kevlar fairy even look like?! 🤣 Don't get me wrong, it's an adorable idea, but I can't visualize it.

She needs a boy cactus fairy

[@tammyjohnson242]

I think was the weight of her sadness that broke the pot. She is absolutely stunning. Those closeups at the end showed all her sadness. Very impressive workmanship

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much :) Every little detail was supposed to emphasize her sadness so I am happy that it worked :) Not happy about the pot though XD

[@annettawagner7647]

The pot looks fine after you fixed it you could hardly tell it was broken to begin with

[@gruetchen]

You are genuinely one of the best doll creators on this platform :) love ur work

@@CatmeleonStudio You still have that Draculaura doll with no hands, maybe she can be Pokemon Roselia or Roserade the rose pokemon or Devil Rose demon or like the Little Shop of Horror's plant, she can still be useful to your creation's.

[@reganhenderson6779]

that's what i'm saying!! she deserves so much more attention

[@o0Apocalyptica0o]

As a cactus lover and collector, just those flower hair buns reminded me why you are my favorite doll creator here on YT. You're so creative and hard working! I admire your work so much :^D

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so, so much!

[@lilskipper4683]

I just imagine her ideal friend as an Arizonian bobcat creature of sorts, since there's been a quite few spotted sitting on huge cacti! 😊

[@scenicview9482]

Id love to see this as a concept ,great idea.

[@LiamAmazarashi]

You definitely outdid yourself with this one, the sculpt, the stand THE HAIR???? I'm sooooo amazed by this one edit: you could add some kintsugi to the pot to even more resemble the broken-ness of this character

[@CatmeleonStudio]

The pot was doomed anyway. It cracked further yesterday so I will have to repot her before I will bring her to my mom :P Maybe a metal pot this time? :D

[@Mephistoasted]

More cracks just mean more gold and it adds to the theme even more lol. Or even just paint a bowl to make it look like it

[@midiwags]

@@Mephistoasted tbf i dont think it would work on this subject :( these are stress breaks caused from constant pressure and repotting is the best bet cause the pot will keep breaking each time you try to seal it

[@Mephistoasted]

Yeah that makes sense. You could probably just paint one to make it look like it though. Like maybe sculpt your own clay pot and carve some little grooves to make it look like they were cracks and then paint em gold?

[@jennawaxton1182]

So excited for this one. The facial expression is really entrancing for some reason. I love watching the detail you put into the dolls and the unconventional looks they put out.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! I really hope you will enjoy this one too! ^_^

[@Lab-Gr0wn-Lambs]

yesss the face! It actually made me feel so bad for her even through she's just a doll

[@desmondrickard444]

Excited to watch this one get created. Poor thing I’d put on a kevlar jacket just to give her a hug. You’re one of the best out there and your videos are always entertaining. Awesome work

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Aaaw! She would love that hug! Thank you ^_^

[@PrincessFidelma]

You took precautions, sensible! I was just gonna dive in for a hug and get impaled and become a gruesome fountain.

[@irvagirl]

Love the tradition. Love the fairy. My love of cacti, doesn’t hurt either. If you hadn’t said this wasn’t planned, I’d have never known. Great project as always! 💚

[@CatmeleonStudio]

☺️ Thank you so much!

[@namiko1337angst]

I can't be the only other touch adverse person who'd love to be a cactus fairy, right? Like poor baby wants a hug, but I'd be living my best life if no one could put their hands on me ever again xD Also the cactus flower hairstyle has to be my favorite part of this customization! It's so ingenious

[@CatmeleonStudio]

In some cases I think we all wish to switch places with her, indeed ^_^

[@AJDaniels5298]

You're not alone at all! I think that's partially the reason I like Goth fashion, especially things that feature unreasonably large metal spikes.

[@MsKirbygirl1]

She turned out so precious! I'm not even a plant person, and I still love her! Her expression is just spot on!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you!

[@bethsmith3421]

She is gorgeous! A great balance of sad, creepy and lovely. Your sculpting amazes me. You always do a fantastic job, even if you run into problems along the way. Her hair is so cute. What a super idea, that looks so closely to a cactus flower. Sorry, your pot broke. Maybe it was her magic exploding with her great misery. She is stuck in this moment of anguish, but she should know, most cacti, IRL, have a companion, maybe a bird, owl, mouse, squirrel or insect that builds a home. Though not a lover, maybe she could eventually have a friend/fiend?! Anticipating the next project. 🥺🦅🦉🐀🐿🪲🌵

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Love an idea of a friend instead of a love interest 💚 she could use any kind of good vibes I guess ^_^

[@nna8718]

Dear Catmeleon Studio! I want to express my admiration for you and your work, you are great! You are one of the best doll-creators on KZbin :)

[@CatmeleonStudio]

aaaw, thank you ^_^ Than means a lot!

[@patriciahamel5674]

This has got to be your best project yet. Absolutely stunning! Your dolls are actual works of art. They should be in a museum or a gallery.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Aaaw, thank you so much for saying that ^_^

[@calliemarsh5138]

It would be really cool to see a tree fairy, but maybe, a burnt tree that’s been in a forest fire. You could even add embers in the ash too. I think that would be super cool

[@lisagaines1813]

Wonderful! She’s definitely my favorite from the sad Valentine series. I think it’s the tears, or maybe that the pink tone around her spines makes them look like they hurt her. She seems tough, vulnerable, wistful, melancholy and resigned all at the same time.❤

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you! So happy that you like her ^_^

[@stiffk666]

She's lovely. The reason your work is so special is your originality and attention to little details.

[@ewarstler7020]

I absolutely love this fairy. Cactus or not I would be happy to give her a hug! Your work is absolutely fabulous and I look forward to all of your other fantastic creations. ❤️❤️

[@_Flower-Mouthz]

The hug might be painful but worth it 😔

[@pattyfarthing9980]

OMG!! It’s beautiful!! I know we are our own worst critic but, I loved your lashes and the larger lower lip. Plus you can’t even tell the pot cracked. I love your imagination and creativity!!!

I’m excited for this one I love the fairies and winged creatures you make!!

Your pieces are always so beautiful. I love the detail and expression your pieces have even without crazy outfits. The creative stands you make just make the peaces standout. However I feel robbed of kitty litter!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

she looks like she tried to give her heart away and got rejected 😢 But she’s so beautiful ❤

[@barbaramckenzie326]

What a spectacular creation! Your mom is one lucky lady to have your dolls!

[@Trinity25Apr]

More alchemy from a marvellous artist and sculptor. It somehow fits this beautiful but sad little cactus princesses narrative that she missed her Valentines deadline. Who wouldn't risk those thorns to make her smile? Just brilliant! The cracked pot was sent to test you but you passed with flying colours 😀 👍🏼

[@CatmeleonStudio]

So happy you like her ^_^ I can spend hours and hours on each phase of the project, no problem, but I always underestimate the amount of work that I put on myself XD Always bite more than I can chew :P So I am horrible at deadlines XD

Every time I watch one of your videos, I think "this is the coolest thing I've ever seen" and then a new one comes out and I'm even more impressed. Despite that, I have to say this is absolutely one of the most beautiful and amazing works of art I have ever seen.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

How long will I be able to keep it up? XD So much pressure! XD Thank you so much and I am so happy that you enjoy my content! ^_^

[@aceinashoppingcart]

I love how your dolls are always more of a sculpture than just a doll. I haven't seen that in this community before and it's so cool and interesting to see what poses and things you do with them. This little fairy is so cute! I love cacti and succulents and she really does pull on the heartstrings. I just wanna wrap a blanket around her and squeeze her tight!

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! I got the inspiration of making doll figurines instead of articulated dolls from Earth to Lylah :) She is a total pro! But now I am seeing that my own work inspires others to do their customs similar to me, so there will be more of those in the future, I think :)

[@kendrab1102]

Also I think the crack in the pot works with the concept broken fair in a broken environment ❤️ great work

[@kaibaiarrio1299]

As soon as i saw how you painted the scalp i knew EXACTLY what you were gonna do, and i loved it I would definitely attempt hugging her tbh

This is phenomenal! Every time I think you can't top the last one you do! I can't believe the level of detail on her let alone such an amazing concept! Also, great job powering through the setbacks.

The whole figurine is absolutely stunning and the story it tells... Just heartbreaking. I'm an idiot who smooches cacti. I'd give her a hug no problem.

I certainly can't hug my precious cacti, but I still love them c: and I admire your doll figurines, and Lovebird is still one of my favorites 💖 this cactus fairy is charming!!

[@videokilledaradiosta]

Honestly, I was screaming, "Where's the Sponge Fairy ?!" The spikes could poke the sponge no harm done.besides sponge colors are complementary to cactus color. She is just too adorable not to hug, despite all the danger.Your mom is so lucky to get all your adorable sad fairies.

[@rheverend]

A masochist would LOVE her! So she has hope! 😊

[@RainingJellyBeans]

I'm in love. I'd give her a hug. It's be painful, but so worth it. You could make an entire garden of faeries. Keep up the fantastic work.

[@CatmeleonStudio]

I already have plans for some more potted beauties ^_^

[@BoredTo_Death123]

I feel like a cool concept for this doll would be that her spines work like porcupine spines do. She can put them down when she feels safe and put them up for self defence when she feels threatened. I also think that she would be very skittish and always have her guard up. That's why she is so sad, because no one can get close to her and her heart... Literally and figuratively-

[@lindasnow3960]

Cactus Fairy is lovely. I'd have to find a way to hug her till she didn't hurt anymore 😊

[@NamelessLoki]

In my opinion I could wait for your brilliant works as long as you need time for them. She looks absolutely amazing. I would hug this sweety because how can you not? This time her hair blows me away. This is such a cute idea. At first I thought you would let her hair as it was. But as cute little flowers - amazing. I love everything about this project and it can't make me more happy. A unice little cactus fairy. 💚💚💚🧚🏻‍♀️🌵

[@CatmeleonStudio]

Thank you so much! So happy that you like the hairstyle! It took the whole night, but I am quite happy with the outcome ^_^

[@wolflower666]

the whole doll is a beautiful masterpiece, but the time and detail you put into the hair is absolutely incredible!

[@Essemmbeedee]

She is gorgeous! When you mapped out the hair on the scalp with acrylics I was like ‘where is this going?’ But those little flower buns turned out AMAZING! Another triumph despite the setbacks.

[@mizzuzie3338]

She's well worth the wait, I love her! Especially the hair and the spines really sold the cactus fairy vibe.

[@jacquelines6119]

some cool character concepts you add to grow the species in your world lol you could do a mormo, scylla, echinda, valkyrie, campe, kraken, basilisk, hydra (multiple heads), a leprechaun, and a yeti (lol it would be soooo cute 😭) a lot are from greek mythology. I feel like you would come up with such amazing concepts for these with your girls ❤️ thank you for making videos like this. OMG AND A MUSHROOM FAIRY 😭😭😭

Omg this evolution from the concept is EXTRAORDINARY! I’d love an entire garden of cactus fairies & I’d hug them anyway. She’s adorable & perfect. (Also instead of repotting her, a little wandering vne could cover the crack if it bothers you, but maybe it’s another reason she’s sad?) 🌵💔🧚‍♂️🪴🐈‍⬛🍈

[@CatmeleonStudio]

In the video I just fixed the crack, but it broke further after I finished the video. The line goes now all the way to the front and it has sharp edges that brakes under the fingers - definitely ready for repoting XD

[@CMLink]

@@CatmeleonStudio I’m sorry. That’s so disheartening when things like that happen. Maybe her new pot can be a deep purple? 🪴💜🌵

[@HellfireLotus]

I just thought it would be even cooler if the whole back of her head was styled like the gorgeous flowers you did kind of like the fairies from the Spiderwick Chronicles? But overall she's beautiful and I find myself drawn to this specific type of art and fairy style you make. The sad ones are always the prettiest. I'd find a way to hug her, doesn't matter how, I may end up like a pincushion in the end, but it'd be worth it to give this sweet fairy a hug.

[@camalleone9194]

In my headcanon she would be the lover of a bone fairy. She can kiss and even hug her without the fear of stabbing her lovers heart. And the bone fairy lowering her aggressive nature towards her sounds lovely

[@whitneynewton9063]

I just adore this cute little girl! I'd love to see some more plant inspired dolls! There are so many cool succulents and cactus out there! The expression and concept looks gorgeous! Her hair reminds me of thistles and I just LOVE how it turned out!
