Sleetwealth Briar Discussion

I can't believe it's taken so long to post some photos in here! Here is my exquisitely lovely Misashe, who came to live here at the beginning of August. Oodles of thank-yous to Catrina, who was absolutely wonderful in organising both girls for me (photos of Lisielle to follow ... soon, I hope!) And many thanks also to Valerie for Misashe's exquisite LaPierle gown and choker.



I cannot imagine a more lovely face than hers

 

Briar spam! (Love this girl, she cannot take a bad photo <g>). . . I wired her arms with pipecleaners and it's really helping . . .Outfit is by Michele Hardy. Made a black wig for it, specifically, then decided I liked it better without:



More photos at the very beginning of my Flickr link below. . .

 

Aria took a virtual trip to Spain, where she decided to take up flamenco dancing. Here's a photo of her in the town square, waiting for her tall, dark and handsome partner to arrive... late, always late!

Her white tattoo shows a little in this shot. You have to look closely to see the Fimo clay castanets in her left hand.

Please excuse my bad english

 

Did you do the faceup? It's beautiful! I love the lips and the brows - well, everything! I see you didn't want to get eyelashes into those tiny eyewells <g>. . . . can't blame you. I've done it on my Planetdoll tinies and it's pretty frustrating, even when you use the smaller bottom lashes. . .

 

Dollfair's Atelier Nouveau is the primary site for Briar, plus you can occasionally find one in the DoA marketplace.

 

Thank You. I found it yesterday but when I emntioned it to another doll collector I was referred to a forum about Dollfair and Narea (?) and there seems to be a few questions hanging over Dollfair right now, it's made me very wary of sending them my money. I wonder what people's recent dealings with them have been like with Briar?

 

The Briar dolls at Dollfair have already been made and are in stock at the Dollfair offices in Ohio. You shouldn't have any problems with dealing with them in that regard, they do have a good reputation although communication can be slow sometimes. The problems with Narindoll are to do with the manufacturer in Korea not producing or shipping the dolls that have been ordered. EnchantmentDoll, Atelier Nouveau and Dollfair are owned and operated by the same people.

 

I have ordered eight dolls (not Briar but others) from Dollfair over the years and had no problems.

 

I would not hesitate at all -- I bought my Aria from Dollfair on layaway. They were very communicative and helpful, I would have no qualms in ordering again. I want a Ylisande -- all I need is money!!

 

claywimmin, if you can possibly get a Ylisande you should jump on it! They are gorgeous.

 

That's good to hear, I was just a bit worried as Anita Collins put something on her blog in the summer about not being happy with her dealer in the US and I didn't know who she was referring to. It's all a bit hazy now to be honest. But if you all think they still have Briar I will go ahead and order.

 

I went ahead and placed my order, fingers crossed everything goes well. I just hope it gets past customs, but they always seem to catch the parcels from the States. I've wanted this doll for so long but kept putting it off because of the tiny size

 

I would order with confidence vonbonbon.

 

Does anyone have another email contact for them please? I paid by visa and got an automatic email response with an order number but the money still hasn't been taken and they haven't answered my emails other than that. I once had an overseas transaction canceled by Visa because they just assumed someone had stolen my credit card and they never even informed me about it. I have been trying to ask Dollfair if there is a problem but no reply. The email I have been contacting is:

[email protected]

 

That's the email I used when I had Aria on layaway. I know they have a small staff -- only a couple of people as far as I know. When one was away at a convention the other was really swamped. I don't think you have cause for concern.

 

That's the email address I used when I bought my two Briars back in July. I dealt with Catrina and communication was a bit slow sometimes, but don't let that put you off. The doll is so lovely - even more beautiful in person than her photos, if that's possible - it's worth a bit of a wait. She sent me some photos of Briars she had in stock so I don't think you need worry about them being sold out. The only problem for me was choosing which one to get!

 

My money went through last week, I'm just waiting on a shipping confirmation. I'm so excited but an email would make that little nagging worry quieten down. Hoping I will have her soon to show you

 

I'm so excited to find this thread! I won a LE Idex Briar at my doll meeting yesterday. I am so 'enchanted' by her size, posing and lovely little face up! She's got the prettiest, poutiest lips! My Briar actually looks exactly like one of the photos shown in the thread of the Idex Briars, but I'm not sure what people are referring to when they mention numbers.

**Edited to add: My girl looks like the 3rd Briar pictured on page 3 post # 59.**

 

Wow lucky you! That looks like a tan skin Briar, then. Originally, each of those IDEX Briars, which had special faceups, were all numbered and showed up on Enchantment Doll's website by the number. But those pages have been taken down and Enchantment Doll doesn't sell Briars any more.
