I genuinely love the doll, and the fact she is based off a true story about two lovers. He loved her so much that even in death, he made her his queen. That is creepy, yet so lovely and sweet.

He also ordered to place his tomb next to her, so that they could look at each other after he dies too 🥺 so romantic

Woo! A tale from my country!! I was obssessed with Pedro and Inês' tale when I was little, I'm so happy to see people from other countries talking about and appreciating it ❤️ Portugal has a LOT of casually creepy stories and legends, so if you're into those, you'll have a lot of material to dig in. There's even a bit of this story, that says that nature itself was so outraged by the crime of Inês' murder, that the stones in the creek where she bled to death retained the red color, so the world could never forget the king's sins. These lovers tombs were built a little different, in front of one another, instead of side by side. So that when their souls ascend to heaven, they'll be the first thing each other sees. Or so the legend goes 😊

Aaaah it's so cool to see someone from Portugal here!!!! 😍 I did some research preparing for this project, but i didn't know the part about the stones becoming red. But i know about the tombs! It was also interesting to look at the carvings and learn about the symbolism sculptors put into their designs. I really wish to visit Portugal some day and see this place with my own eyes! 💫

@@DollAfterlife honestly, your research SHOWED, the level of detail you looked into, the amount of details, I'm just about deceased myself! As a culture, we talk a lot about how great and vast our history and artistic history is, but the majority of people don't actually show much interest beyond "huh, neat". So it's very heartwarming to see people not only look into it, but also dig into it and share it with others ❤️ The stones' legend was told to my class when we were little, and the teacher was actually very open about it being realistically impossible, but it showed the dedication and a people's memory, that centuries later someone still goes through the work of maintaining the stones red. It added to the tragedy that King Afonso IV was by all means a good and well-liked ruler, and THIS is what he reduced his legacy to. Also, fun fact: we don't remember Inês because of Pedro, as much as we remember Pedro because of Inês. Her life was altered by him, but people don't really care about his life after her coronation and execution of her killers.

I love historical stories like these. ❤️ Also, I’m glad that she got a long veil instead of hair. Not just for accuracy’s sake, but because the veil+skull remind me of a funeral shroud, which is a nice touch.

I remember this story years ago, so many versions, one I think was when she had been exhumed there had been signs someone had already invaded the tomb. and one even mentioned there was evidence her blonde hair had been shorn. (I doubt though) One version even mention the chosen ladies in waiting for Queen Ines cared for her like they had served her for years.. (this made me wonder if maybe it might have been easier for the court to kiss her hand because back then although full body bathing wasn't a big thing the washing of the hands feet and face was very important so maybe her skeletal hand wasn't as grumesome to kiss hopefully. The doll you created I feel is an accurate version to the dead queen in the story. My most favorite part is how the veil hangs on her it almost has like a coffin effect almost like it saying, maybe not in life but in death she became a queen.

Loved the doll and loved to get to know this incredible legend! I am a brazilian archaeologist living in Portugal and always heard my dad saying "agora inês é morta" ("now Inês is already dead") an expression meaning that now is to late to do anything about it. I was so excited to find that this story is the origin of the saying thanks to your video that got me searching more about it. Congrats on the great work!

She's amazing! The white beaded inserts made a special impression on me, I don't know why. The whole doll is attention to detail and history.

Thank you for the most wonderful thirty-six minutes of my evening. I'm afraid to imagine how many weeks this took and how much patience was spent. But it's magic!❤❤❤

Soft pastel recommendation: schmincke or rembrandt. I’ve only used them on paper for art, but they were always butter soft and had excellent color payoff. The didn’t change color when I used fixative, but that’s not the same as sealent

The story is so sad and tragic, and yet, so beautiful. I think you did the doll justice, and I'm curious how you're going to do the king to finish the couple; are you going to make him appear alive or like a skeleton, too? And of course, the level of detail is truly amazing. You put your everything into these dolls and it shows.
