Some Violetta fashions from NYC con, plus a bonus photo of pink Violetta in the only 1/4 dress I own

Hey lovely people! Here are the dates for my small run of werewolf Violet dolls. I am limiting spaces to only five, and will not be printing any more unless my sandblaster radically changes my life lol. Stay tuned!

(I made the second graphic because her pose was so fun, but being horizontal, most people aren't gonna see it well on socials 🥲)

Okay Tumblr, I blurred out the bits so now you can see these photos

Werewolf Violet v2 is now assembled! She's printed in ResiOne TH-BJD and is 6% smaller than version 1. She's really stable and you can put her anywhere, kinda, like on a second floor railing.

I'm planning to do the preorder at the end of the month; I might just do Halloween as the start date, but stay tuned for an official announcement. I'm still calculating budget things. With Muriel, a big part of what took so long was mixing resin and dyeing the resin batches, but I won't be doing that for this one, so part of that will be easier.

I am limiting this to only five spots. It's possible there will only be five of these in existence; making more of them depends on whether I can tolerate sanding these. I have a sandblaster I still need to set up, but whether that will actually help me or not will be a big part of determining how easy this will be and will affect whether I want to do future orders of this doll. (The sculpted fur is difficult to sand around and, while printing at the 03 layer height makes you mostly unable to see print lines, I still do an overall fine sanded finish. This also gets exponentially more difficult if any shift lines happen)

Anyway! I am hoping to airbrush her soon, although I will be dyeing part of my personal copy (her hands are black) and have to figure that out this week.

Psst, I'm gonna do a short run of three Violetta spots tomorrow to help me get more resin and go towards travel expenses for NYC Doll Con. They should be finished before the con! I will offer shipping OR con pickup; you don't have to be attending the con to get one.

These orders will be the very first Violettas to exist! If you support this earlybird order, you'll be one of the first people to have one.

I'm prioritizing PIF orders, but will open to layaway in two days (Feb 1st) if the spots aren't filled by then.

I'll post a form here tomorrow and other socials for anyone who's interested. Aiming to do 11am Pacific US time.

Hey all, here's a preview of what the finished Violettas will look like! This one is in ResiOne's TH-BJD cream pink. I'll have her at my booth at NYC Doll Con next month.

I have six others whose parts I'm processing, and I'm still printing a few more! I'm kinda in printing hell right now tbh, but assembling this girl as a test has encouraged me a bit.

All four of the first earlybird orders are printed and I'll be processing their parts with the others.

A lil pic of the assembled Violetta prototype 💛

I'll have some more news for these soon, going to wait till I have her magnets next week and make a small revision to the inside of the tail base, and a version with slightly resized hands to see if I want to change it.

My next doll will by my sphinx, but as I'm currently printing big Violet orders as well as con prepping, I won't be doing an official release of this doll yet (or the sphinx!). But, I will be making some for the two cons this year. After the summer, when things are more settled, I'll be looking ahead to the sphinx and Violetta--in that order.

I do want a little less stress with my travel expenses, though, so I will likely have like... four or fewer of these available for a limited ordering period. I have to decide whether they'll be con pickup or whether I will just ship them out early to save on my luggage space lol. But I'll keep yall updated on that.

Proto-were-Violet had a little adventure yesterday

The tail works but I'm trying a third glue that I hope will be strong enough for the magnets this time.

Still aiming for October for the preorder, just fyi. I will print a V2 before then so she'll be at the proper scale and with the proper resin so I can make sure everything still functions as I want it.

Happy Halloween yall! I'm very excited to announce that my (very small) Werewolf Violet preorder is open! I have worked over a year on engineering this project and bringing her to life.

Here is the order page with more info, color options, etc! Please spread the word if you can 🧡
