Thanks so much Sharon! I'm sorry to be a bother, but could I possibly request a shoulder to floor measurement, and a shoulder width measurement?
Thanks so much

Oh knickers, I forgot to measure her shoulder width, well here is her shoulder to floor measurement....29cm approx.
I'll get the other one for you in a minute....just sat down a minute!!! LOL!

Just wanted to share a pic of my Sophia in her new dress:



It is made of stretch lace with hand beading.

What is your Briar wearing these holidays ?

[dambuster01]

Oooooo Saba, your Briar is looking lovely in that dress, you've made a really good job of it....suits her perfectly!
I'm afraid that my Rowan (I think that is her name but may change!) is still wearing the purple cat suit or leotard (not sure what it is really called) that I made for my friend and then kept because it wasn't exactly what she wanted. I did make another though, so here is a photo of her wearing that.....just to keep the thread moving....it is so quiet on here! Still noy sure about these eyes!
I hope more people will post in the New Year as I know we have some new owners on here too.
Happy New Year to everyone on here!

[ErikaJ]

I wish everyone a safe and happy new year!!!

SABA, THANK YOU!!! SUCH a GORGEOUS dress that you made for your Briar!!! I love it!!! Your girl is ADORABLE!!!

SHARON, you know that I am an admirer of all of your work, wish that I could pull off wearing a cat suit...Rowan is LUCKY!!!

STELLA MARIS, 7777LUCK, TUVIE!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH, I AM GOING TO BE POSTING MORE PIX (BELIEVE ME!!!)...CAN'T WAIT.

BTW...The wig that she has on is a Sybarite Victimize. I am still noob status with the picture taking/dress making, but having lots of fun learning. Have fun everyone!!! I REALLY LOVE THIS DOLL!!!

Congratulations claywimmin, I don't think you will be disappointed when you pay the ransom and can bring her home. There is something very 'different' about Briar. She is just lovely, I'm really happy with my girl!

I agree, she is so unique, truly an art doll Here is a pic of her with my lati blue boy Rei- he is much taller than her, but I like them together:

Saba, your Briar is gorgeous and they look perfect together

Now I have a question, where do you buy Briars from now and does anyone have a link? This is the link I had but it does look out of date http://www.atnouveau.com/briar.htm

Is there any news on an Elf Briar? And when you say you have one on layaway, who is the layaway with??

Kathryn, I think they are still being sold through Dollfair International, although as you say, that looks a bit like its not been updated. I remember when I was thinking of getting my Briar, before I got her secondhand in the end, I emailed Dollfair and spoke to someone there. I can't remember who it was though.

Saba, I must have missed this photo, they do look an attractive couple!

[kayjay]

Sharon, I just found the site with the Captiva Briars and they are still selling no 9 who belongs to someone on this thread, the person with this lovely Briar http://www.flickr.com/photos/5679253...7622192682039/ which goes to show how outdated they are selling her http://www.enchantmentdoll.com/captiva.htm

Yes *puts hand up* She is mine

If you add a Captiva Briar to your cart, it tells you they are out of stock- then I contacted Catrina at Dollfair and she told me which are still available

As far as I know the elf Briar is still a WIP, and the artist is working on a Briar with double jointed knees.

I'm a proud owner of a Briar! I'll have photos up soon. My mom had one, never bonded with her, and I am always playing with her, so I inherited the doll! Woo hoo!
Anyway, I've changed and modded her completely! I'm so happy with her now!

Congrats Muse Star, I love my Briar, and hope you'll continue to enjoy your 'inheritance'!!!

[violet girl]

I have decided that I really, really want a Briar. They are stunning

[Muse Star]

Hi violet girl! Briar is a wonderful girl! I have mine and just love her to pieces. It was my moms doll.

I did remod her ears a bit and paint her other worldly eyes, so now she is a faerie. I call her Briarthicket. Here she is! Teased her hair a bit too.
Hope you like!




Thanks dambuster01...........she is such a perfect size!

Also........anyone know what clothing they fit?

[Nathansgirl1989]

You pretty much have to make clothing if you want it to really fit well and look good. She can wear Ken jeans and some Barbie tops too.

[Muse Star]

Thank you Nathansgirl1989............I'll give the Barbie clothing a try. For now, I dug into my stash of clothing and found she can fit into some Muffy Bear clothing too. I've got a one piece on her that fits great, the dresses not so much!

[claywimmin]

At Last! Her name is Aria, and she arrived two days ago!! So far she has spent most of her time trying on clothes and getting to know her horse, a black stallion called Nero. So she has firmly indicated a strong preference for lace and outrageous hats, though I'm not sure how well lacy outfits go with riding. I want to make her an elegant period riding outfit and need to find a picture to go by. Maybe something out of Gone With the Wind. Now, if I can figure out how to post a picture....

Oops, that didn't work so well.
[IMG]file:///C:/Users/home/Desktop/DSC00526%20Aria.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/home/Desktop/DSC00526%20Aria.jpg[/IMG]
That didn't either! Back to the drawing board... I'll get it figured out and post some Briar spam as soon as I do!

[claywimmin]

OK, this will have to do for now. I am definitely challenged in this department; someday I will figure out how to post a picture right here, but for now at least I've gotten as far as Flickr!!! Click on photo to enlarge, you can faintly see her white facial tattoo.

[Nathansgirl1989]

Aria looks so pretty in that wig!! I can't wait to see her in her riding outfit!

[kayjay]

Aria looks very beautiful!! To post the pic from your Flickr, click on 'all sizes' on your Flickr pic, then copy the code (I think the bottom one but if not it's the other one!). Then to post that onto here, open your message then in the icons above the box there is what looks like a yellow envelope shape with mountains and a sun (well that's what it looks like to me!!). Click on that and it will invite you to paste the code over. Hope that helps

[claywimmin]

Wow, it works! Thanks for the tutorial, Kayjay, it was easier than I thought it would be! Now I'll have to get some more decent pictures, lighting is an issue in my tiny studio apartment and dontcha just love the wrinkled sheet as the background.

What amazes me about this girl is that she doesn't just wear clothes, she showcases them - even looking good in this recycled doily from the far reaches of my closet.
