RootieBird's

[schnibbles]

Anyone try anything from this shop?
RootieBird's (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rootiebirds)

I'm liking the elemental look of them but haven't ordered yet.

The forks (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rootiebirds?section_id=12673847&ref=shopsection_leftnav_6) look really cool. She also has sticks. (https://www.etsy.com/shop/Rootiebirds?section_id=17079526&ref=shopsection_leftnav_7)

Oof. Did not need to see this shop. I love it all! Don't know whether to curse you or thank you. Thanks schnibbles, dammit.

[lunasea]

Hadn't noticed that before but some of that oxidized copper looks real interesting....

[schnibbles]

I know.. sorry Kitten. :silly:
I thought the same thing when it showed up on my Etsy feed.
Dammit.
:laugh:

[yogagirl]

Oh boy, that store means trouble! The necklaces, the bracelets :thud:

The forks and sticks look so cool too! Not sure if they'd work for me yet at my length. I'm still having trouble making sticks and 2-prong forks stay.

I forbade AspenSong to like their items I liked so they would stay off of the radar.

[schnibbles]

^^^ Whoops. My bad. :bounce:

It's true. She would not allow it of me. But nowwwww....I can fave all I want. lol.

[Magalo]

BUMP! I want in hair pics!! I love these!!

[schnibbles]

^^^ In-hair pix will happen when this (https://www.etsy.com/transaction/1033975311) gets here! :popcorn:
I wanted like, 12 other ones too but I refrained until I know if it works for my hair or not. :rolling:

[cat11]

:popcorn: exited to see it! I love the round ended copper sticks they have!

[schnibbles]

Ok :run: sorry it took me so long, the weather here all weekend was total crap. This arrived on Saturday + I've pretty much been wearing it since.

It's awesome for supplemental hold for my buns! (as in, using it with other things, like TT's which don't hold my hair. Also holds swimmingly by itself) I even slept in it one night. The tips of the tines aren't sharp, but not dull either...I have to kind of wiggle it in, like a Jeter, but once in, it's great!

I have ordered a Quattro pair which aren't here yet, but when those arrive, I'll do comparison pics for those who are wondering about RootieBird's size and whatnot.
Next time, I'll order a longer one (this is 4.75 inches and it barely fits...but, it's not poking me in the neck either which is nice) You can sort of see the tines sticking out on the left.

Oh, and I almost forgot, this was how it arrived - very nicely packaged with a nice handwritten note. I had it 2 days after I ordered:

Love it! What bun is that?

[schnibbles]

Love it! What bun is that?

:D Thanks curls...um...I was afraid someone was going to ask me what bun lol...:rolling: I was trying to re-create an accident bun I did last week. It starts out like an orchid but I pull the loop (which should be at the top) down + to the left so the bun is going horizontal. It kind of stabilizes itself if I keep it low above the nape.

I noticed RootieBird's is having a Flash Sale today, 6/2 - save 10% on any purchase with code 10FLASH :eyebrows:

[schnibbles]

I said that I would take comparison pics comparing size of Rootiebird's vs Quattro ---
As you can see, the Rootie is considerably thicker (and it's heavier also. The Quattros feel like nothingness)

http://i234.photobucket.com/albums/ee165/Buttercup_9/P6097038_zpsrlbtooxy.jpg

The head curve on the Quattros is slightly more pronounced --- The Rootiebird's does have a head curve but it's subtle ---

Sorry these are kinda big, Photobucket is not letting me re-size

[Hypnotica]

I got mine today! :D They are quite heavy which I actually like and I like that they are not smooth which means they hold my slippery hair much better.

^^^ :thud: That green patina awesomeness looks so perfect with your color! :agree:

It is blue-green-copper and it plays sooo nice with red hair! Could not be happier and this pair will really go well with the industrial music clubs I sometime frequent. They will not go well with flying though :D

[schnibbles]

:scissors: They will not go well with flying though :D

Hmm... No, probably not so much for flying :grin:

[yogagirl]

Hypnotica, the sticks look fantastic on you, congrats!

So funny, I am getting a pair in the mail today. They weight was one of my concerns. We shall see if my hair is up for the challenge ;) May I ask what size you got?

[Quasiquixotic]

Schnibbles and hypnotic you ladies make EVERTHYING look amazing and I feel like I must buy it now. Eesh! :thud:

7 inches :D I did ask her about the weight, she said 0,5 ounces. Haven't checked myself.

[yogagirl]

Mine just came tooo! They are 6.25 inches. They are so slim/petite and really lovely. I think the weight will be fine. I really like the sticks and also the earrings I ordered. Everything was perfectly packaged (bubble wrap, tissue paper, little cardboard box for the earrings).

And a bonus pic where you can see the earrings a little better (also from rootiebird):

And here is a picture with a regular width, 6 inch Ead, for width comparison:

[Magalo]

Just got a new job, I'll wait for some money then I'm buying one! I love these so much. They look great on you guys. I'll probably buy a copper fork from tempestmoonstudio too, I'll compare them!

[yogagirl]

Magalo, congrats on the new job! I've been tempted by tempestmoon as well, so pretty.

[schnibbles]

Yogagirl, your hair is so pretty, and those sticks look so perfectly delicate on you!
Magalo, I'd love to hear your thoughts and comparisons with these vs tempestmoon. Awesome!
I'm still wearing my little fork a lot. The coppery patina has gotten richer/darker I think. Which is cool.

[yogagirl]

schnibbles, thank you for your kind words :o I always admire your hair whenever I see a picture of yours, so it means a lot :flower:

And I'm sorely tempted by rootiebird's forks. I'm glad you're enjoying yours!

[Quixii]

I was looking through Etsy when I came across some of RootieBird's forks. I'm surprised there seem to be so few of them on LHC - the forks in her shop are lovely.
I won't be ordering anything for a while, but I thought I'd bump this up in case someone else has gotten something recently. :)

[see_turtle]

I just ordered my first fork from Rootie Birds....can not wait for it to get here, first non acrylic purchase in 2 years!

[-Fern]

I inherited yogagirl's Rootie's. They are so sleek and modern! Dig it. :rockerdud
I like that these are a little more incognito than some of my other hair accessories. Plus, I never can resist hiding sharp things in my hair. :pins:

Would love to see more action shots if someone ordered a fork from her!!

[DweamGoiL]

Schnibbles and hypnotic you ladies make EVERTHYING look amazing and I feel like I must buy it now. Eesh! :thud:

I know exactly how you feel, Quasi. I just ordered a fork and a pair of sticks. I had been eyeing them for like forever and this just threw me right over the edge :whistle:

[Ashenputtel]

Fern your hair :thud:

I also have been watching rootiebird's creations for a while.

I especially like these sticks. Wish I could see them in action

[DweamGoiL]

Ashenputtel - I almost got those, but I wasn't sure about the actual fpl. The sticks looks awesome, but the part that actually goes into the hair does not look very long at all on the really loopy stick. It would be great if they had action shots in the shop listings.

Holy moly, Fern :thudpile:
They look amazing in your hair!! Most things would though, you have beautiful hair! Love the color and texture!

[triumphator!]

I've had this shop on my Christmas list for so long!

Thank you, Ashenputtel & yogagirl :bounce:
