Where's a good place for pretty, inexpensive eyes?

Postby claws » Sat Aug 06, 2011 10:06 pm

I've tried Ebay, but they don't quite have what I'm looking for. I need 12mm deep brown eyes, acrylic preferably, but that's mostly because I can't spend much at all (maybe $12 at the most, though I'd prefer cheaper) The color I'm looking for is a really rich, chocolatey brown, dark but not so much that they look black in most light. You would think that would be super easy to find, but it's like brown eyes aren't very popular. :/ I saw some nice ones at JS, but the shipping is almost as much as the cost of the eyes...I love JS but the shipping kills me every time. :cry: I was gonna just add some other things, but that ends up costing more and makes the whole thing kind of moot...^^;;
Actually, just recommendations for a good place to buy nice, inexpensive eyes would be excellent if you know of any!

Ooh, thank you! These are gorgeous...and I think the Artistique shop probably has some of the best prices I've ever seen. :mrgreen: Thanks for the recommendations!

I just got some eyes from Artistique earlier this summer. I was really happy not only with the eyes but with the quickness of shipping, etc. ^__^

Try Dreaming Tree Studio! Her eyes are Cheap and look beautiful and you can also get them in full or Semi Metalic. I only order the Semi and its so sparkly! There are a few draw backs firstly Amanda is an individual so it can sometimes take a little bit depending on how many people have been ordering but even during her Christmas rush it was the fastest order I've received. Her eyes are also completely flat no roundness to them But I actual Like that feature. She can do custom orders if you don't find something you are looking for. Bronze Mystique actually is of my own design. She even offers equine pupils which is what I use for my Faun. Her 14mm pupil only are also the eyechips of choice for my blythes.

@Yanagi-sen: I was browsing that site and saw eyes that looked exactly like the ones Kumasmash sent me as an extra with my girl's body; if they're from the same place, then that's awesome, because I really love the ones I have! I think I'm definitely going to order some from them; the colors are gorgeous and the prices are excellent. I have some 1/6 eyehole heads that needed eyes, so I might get those while I'm at it. XD

@thisstrangeforest: Ohh, I just looked up that site...O_O All the colors are amazing! And so cheap...even the shipping is really good! She has such an awesome selection...it makes me want to get more dolls, because so many of the colors inspire all kinds of different characters. XD I think I want to order some from her, too...nothing wrong with that, right? I mean, variety is always good... :mrgreen:

Thanks so much you guys! These are great shops!!!

Safrin Doll. They have great eyes. Shipping is super cheap, too. Just a few bucks in the States.

You can get some nice basic eyes from Junkyspot.
www.junkyspot.com

I second Safrin eyes- I love their own brand because they do not have high domes (that makes it hard to fit into eye sockets) and they have really interesting colors.
