Any **Aliarose** fans out there?

[saskia_madding]

We have threads for a ton of etsy vendors, but I did a search and couldn't find any for Aliarose (http://www.etsy.com/shop/Aliarose) specifically. So I thought I'd start one. :D

I have purchased several sticks from her and I love them all. She's also very open to customs, which is nice. When I get home tonight I'll update this post with at least once picture of an Aliarose stick in my hair.

But until then, I'd like to see yours! Has anyone shopped at this store? Anyone have action pics?

I know a lot of people complain that her sticks are too short, but she's coming out with a lot more that (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35597470) are (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=23484026) longer (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35374210) now (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35482667). And I love her funky colour change (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35683389) or glow in the dark (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=35720380) stuff.

[manderly]

Cute stuff. I've never heard of her. :)

I'm not a fan of metal sticks (too slippery), but I love her chignon pins......just not the price :lol:

Thanks for sharing, I look forward to future action shots :D

[saskia_madding]

Manderly - most of her sticks are wood, painted with metal paint. Certainly all the ones I linked to were wood. Is that still too slippery?

I have no idea how much chignon pins typically go for, so I can't comment on that. But I find most of her sticks to be extremely well priced. Anytime I can get a pretty hair stick for 15 or 18 bucks, I'm happy! :D

[manderly]

Hehehe, anything is too expensive for me right now....pay no attention :D

I have no idea about wooden sticks with metal paint, never tried one :D

[Medievalmaniac]

I have several of her pieces...the Peacock stick, the "And now for something completely different" stick that changes colors in light, a fairy pink stick, the Autumn Harvest stick, and one that glows in the dark. I do really like her work, especially for dressier occasions, because it's so delicate and girlish. At this point, with waist-length hair, I can still use the shorter sticks in SOME buns as singletons, but mainly use two at a time. The Peacock stick, a newer piece, is longer and sturdier.

I DO like her work, very much. :)

[saskia_madding]

I promise to post action pics tonight, but I'd love to see some of yours too!

[Medievalmaniac]

You'll have to give me some time to take snaps and get them uploaded! lol But I shall. I DO have a couple of action shots of the peacock stick and of the pink glow in the dark stick (I was proving to my friend that hairsticks would hold her hair! lol):

I am an Aliarose fan! She should definitely have her own thread!

Here (http://forums.longhaircommunity.com/picture.php?albumid=3961&pictureid=50833) is an action picture with my Ladybells hair stick.

At first I thought it was too short, but as you can see it works perfectly for my lazy wrap bun. I only have thought I needed longer sticks, but the truth is... the longer sticks just get in my way! Anything around 5 inches usable length, and then a topper over that is perfect for my hair.

She just did a custom order for me that I am very excited about! She made my "Wind in her hair (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=22344589)" hair stick! I am looking forward to getting it. :cheese: She is very nice about working with you to get exactly what you imagined.

If anyone thinks her hair sticks are too short, she is great about custom orders so if you see something you like, then just request a longer stick.

[Medievalmaniac]

These are also very pretty:

[kdaniels8811]

I have several sticks from her and found them to be very nice and she is great to work with. Buy with confidence!

Oh, I forgot! She made a custom bluebird and birdhouse stick set which is adorable. When I am able to take photo, I will post. I love the glow in the dark snowman!

[saskia_madding]

I agree about the length. She does have longer ones on her site now and I suspect will be focusing more on longer sticks from here on in. But I really like the shorter ones. They are extremely useful and pretty and a nice change of pace from the 6" onces I normally use.

Here are some action shots!

I'm piping in here for Aliarose! She is awesome and has some gorgeous stuff on etsy, and is also super nice to communicate with!
I got my hair sticks from her and they're beautiful!

[saskia_madding]

Who snapped this (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=22474360)up? It's so pretty!

[intothemist1999]

I love her stuff! She is a delight to do business with!

I have a pair of each of these. No action shots, I just took these quickly to post here before I head off to work:

Hmmm, this turned out smaller than I'd hoped. One is a kitty, the other is an Egyptian kartush. The long stick is actually a deeper brown than shows here, and the kitty stick is black.

Whoo hoo! I got more Aliarose sticks today including my most anticipated "Wind in her hair" stick. I am very happy with it. It is just what I imagined. She does beautiful work & she is wonderful to work with!

For an idea on size, The Wind in Her Hair Hairstick is 6 1/2" in length with a 4 11/16" usable length. The dangle measures just over 2".

These are all my Aliarose sticks:

Morning mist, Ladybells, Wind in her hair, Alexandrite (my birthstone- has beads of color changing alexandrite. And it glows in the dark!)

Love the sticks, hair and the kittie - so cute :D

[Redheaded Raven]

I love all of the hair sticks that you gals have gotten from her. I think that Ali does wonderful work.... So someone take and buy this one (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=36620571) and remove my temptation.:o

I love these, they remind me of the old victorian styles, when they would wear their necklaces as hair ornaments and many other ways.

[little_acorn]

That is pretty Raven, but not really me - but it would look gorgeous in your hair (enable, enable) :eyebrows:

[windinherhair]

simone_rodrigue - beautiful hair sticks! I like the picture where you included your cat. That is so cute. :) I also like the blue color in your hair!

Redheaded Raven - that would be a nice choice! I don't have any white hair sticks. I think I have enough to last me a while though, so they are still there waiting for you. ;)

[Redheaded Raven]

As much as I love the look, I decided that I already have too many crystal necklaces that I use that way to go with that look. As much as I like it. I have all of my great grandmothers rhinestone necklaces that I use this way... I think instead that I will get her to do one like this, (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=22560972) but I am not sure of which color. I was leaning toward a shade of green, but not sure which one. So what do you guys suggest? My birthday is coming up next month and I want a some new toys. :D

[saskia_madding]

I thought something like these (http://www.thediceplace.com/acatalog/1243_Chessex_-_Scarab_-_Polyhedral_7-Dice_Sets_-_Jade_Gold.html) might be nice. And these (http://www.thediceplace.com/acatalog/QWDRpoly11_Q-Workshop_Dice_-_7_dice_poly_set_-_Dragon_Green_White.html) are also really cool.

But clearly, THIS (http://www.thediceplace.com/acatalog/QWCTpoly5_Q-Workshop_Dice_-_7_dice_poly_set_-_Cthulhu_Glow_in_the_Dark_with_Cthulhu_dice_bag.ht ml) is the winner! I found them while looking for dice for you, but now I think I'll get a set for some friends of mine for Christmas. :D

All of them are from The Dice Place (http://www.thediceplace.com/index.html).

[little_acorn]

Oooh Raven look whats she's just listed http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vl_other_1&listing_id=36896995

[Redheaded Raven]

Thank you both for the links, I love those die!!!! Especially the glow in the dark ones. I liked the ones that she just put up and they have already sold, Yea for her! But I need ones that are silver instead of the gold. I just don't do gold for the most part, but I am very into silver. I think most likely I will just do a custom with her, that way I can get exactly what I want, and support a fellow artist. :D
Next month is my birthday, so I will most likely do it then. Have any of you done a custom with her?

[saskia_madding]

I'm working on several right now with her. She's excellent - very nice and very accommodating!

[kdaniels8811]

I second the "She's excellent - very nice and very accommodating." I have bought several items from her and she rocks. I would highly recommend her.

[Redheaded Raven]

Yes I asked her to find me a green die and make me a custom, so I am looking forward to what she finds. :D :happydance: And she is super nice to work with. :agree:

[saskia_madding]

Hey, check it out. Free shipping this weekend! (http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=37067378)

Oh gosh Raven I am sorry, I nabbed the green die stick. I have been after a green one, I actually mailed one of my green dice to a stick maker and it got lost in transit so I gave up after that.

If it doesnt work for me I'll let you know. :flower:

That is okay, Lovie, I have asked for a silver or green stick as I am not as into gold. While I do wear it sometimes, my basic color's are silver or copper, and so silver and green for me is good! :D

Besides that is going to look awesome in your hair. :flower:

Oh, I really like them! ALL of them! I love her work. And as soon as I grow some hair (smile - hair loss from chemo, almost done!) I will be purusing her shop again and spending money I do not have. She is wonderful to work with and a unique hair stick artist. And jewelery...

[MandyBeth]

Simone, looks like I snagged one of the two you loved - I'll send action pics when it comes home.

Got Hyacinth stick (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=27077270), Sodalite bobbies (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=27077271), and Goth Girl bobbies (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=27077269)

I did however leave the Bleeding Hearts stick for someone else since I'm not really in need of THAT many sticks and I wanted the Hyacinth one more.

*refuses to look at anything else on etsy*

[saskia_madding]

That hyacinth stick is so pretty. I can't wait for the action shots! I'm still holding off on the bleeding hearts because I'm scheming up another custom. :D

I really think the bobby pins are cute and it makes me wish I used bobby pins EVER.

[MandyBeth]

I've been snagging bobbies left and right, my hair is too short and needs the help to stay back. Now since I'm a redhead again, ANY pin is noticable in my hair, so I've decided I'm going to horde, I mean collect the pretty ones.

Oh yeah, that's why also - the Bleeding Hearts one is on gold, and while there isn't much, I really don't wear it....

[deviantkitten]

I love Aliarose! She is such a sweetheart, and her stuff is adorable! Very well priced, and she was happy to change some stuff around for me. I was a lucky girl and got these-
http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=26245460
I asked her to change the sticks to a darker stain, which she did with no problem, and I got a free pair of matching earrings! I got these sticks to celebrate the Vernal Equinox, and everyone loved them! I will definitely be ordering from her again.
And, she is offering some of her items on sale right now!

[MandyBeth]

I've been REALLY tempted by these - http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=vt_related_1&listing_id=41535354 - alas the limited time to wear them, plus lack of hair right now has so far kept me from doing so.

http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=41895952 This lovely is rather tempting also, but it is new and that poor Hyacinth stick kept looking at me with sad stick eyes wanting to come home.....

:cheese: Look what came for me today! (http://www.etsy.com/view_transaction.php?transaction_id=26934906)

I don't have a digital camera, so I can't post action pics (boooo!), but it's even prettier in person.

Simone, I love the Tealicious one too! I decided on mine instead because I wear the aqua/seafoamy colors more, but it was a hard decision!

This is my first stick with dangles, so it remains to be seen if they get tangled in my assorted wisps. Does anyone else have that problem?

[saskia_madding]

I don't have any dangly Aliarose sticks, but sometimes the dangles on sticks from other sellers do get tangled in my wispies ... of which I have A TON! But I've never had damage from it. I just *gently* pull and they come undone.

[MandyBeth]

Aliarose's danglies look like the "okay" ones I have from other sellers. The seams on the rings and such look smooth and nicely finished, so even if my hair does thread into them (which my hair does on a regular basis), it's easy to gently slip out and without the rough seam, it doesn't snag or snap my hair.

But I've not tested hers yet, just drooled over them until now :)

[rosek]

I just recieved a single I ordered last week. Its so beautiful! AND it came with a set of free earrings to match! I love it : )

I recently purchased my first Aliarose sticks - singles:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/63193232/hairstick-subtly-sublime-in-antiqued
http://www.etsy.com/listing/58317425/hairstick-midnight-bloom-blue-floral
I received them today - that was the perfect package to come home to after a long day...
I just couldn't help myself when I saw the first stick in her shop - I didn't care that it was golden and that I don't usually wear gold: I told myself I was going to make an exception for this stick. That's how exquisite it looked in picture; and it is even more stunning IRL.
The second one is adorable, and I love the matching earrings that Aliarose kindly included. I'll take pictures ASAP. ;) It is worth mentioning that Aliarose is very sweet, too!

[bonnie1735]

I have also purchased several pairs of sticks from her. Very nice sticks!! Very nice person too!!! Fast shipping!! I will purchase more from her in the future.

[saskia_madding]

I'm in the process of working with her on a few customs. She is always really patient with me and I appreciate it a lot. I think she's one of the unsung heroes of the hair stick making world!

Those are so gorgeous, Isa-Belle! I especially like the first one. I am lusting after these (http://www.etsy.com/listing/64153064/hairsticks-oaken-treasure-acorn-in) two (http://www.etsy.com/listing/64235675/hairstick-op-art-in-black-and-white-art) right now, but will refrain in order to buy my custom sets. :D

[Isa-belle]

I think she's one of the unsung heroes of the hair stick making world!
I agree. Her sticks are truly beautiful - really really well made, just as the sticks by Barefoot Maiden or Nightblooming, which is saying a lot. I'm surprised this thread isn't much longer.
I'm also pretty certain I've seen beauties from her shop posted on the "wear all my toys once challenge" thread, so it seems a number of us have hidden Aliarose gems that we should be posting here :eyebrows: :D

Saskia_madding, I am very much drawn to the Oaken Treasure Acorn hairsticks as well. :love:

So she says. :D :D :D I had her special order it when I asked for blue glow in the dark snow instead of green.

Pretty - I hope we get action pics :D

[saskia_madding]

Do I ever disappoint in that arena? NEVER! :)

[Alvrodul]

Hmmm. I have not bought anything from Aliarose.
Yet.
I suppose I should correct that - he does have some nice things.
Hmmm.:hmm:

[saskia_madding]

She is really awesome to work with - very creative, totally aims to please, and very patient while I hem and haw about which bead cap to choose. I totally endorse buying from her!

[catspank]

Oooooooh! saskia, those customs are gorgeous! And it seems we share a love/appreciation/weakness for blues :D

[saskia_madding]

Totally. Blue is like my kyrptonite. :D

[dajanchen]

Totally. Blue is like my kyrptonite. :D

That´s an open secret around here. :tongue: :lol:

SO TRUE. :o

Here is my current collection of Aliarose hairsticks, complete with the Christmas gifts I just received :D

The acorn sticks are colour shifters. The stick in the middle and the earrings were gifts from Aliarose herself. :love:

[Alvrodul]

Nice! I really like the stick furthest to the right (I am afraid I am not very fond of blues):)

[saskia_madding]

So *you're* the one that snagged the acorn set. It is absolutely GORGEOUS. I'd love to see action pics! :crush:

[Isa-belle]

Well, not me directly, Saskia :whistle:
I'll try and take a picture soon. They're even prettier than in the listing. :D

[krissykins]

Oh my gosh, I want this hairstick (http://www.etsy.com/listing/63972025/hairstick-sparkleberry-in-orchid-purple) SO BAD. :(

[Ishje]

I love Aliarose's hairsticks. they are so gorgeous.
I bought 2 singles and a set, and have more on my wishlist.

*revives thread*

I'm sure there are more Aliarose fans out there... and if there aren't, well, they should be! Her toys are beautiful and so well made, and she has great customer service.

Today, I got this pretty (http://www.etsy.com/transaction/52581318), which made me fall even more in love with Aliarose and with the packaging she uses... so pretty!

Sorry for grabbing it first, Andrea. I did hesitate for a few days, hoping that it'd grown half an inch overnight, but I couldn't resist... thank you! :flower:

[Ishje]

dfotw, that looks amazing in your hair!

[islandboo]

Yes, sadly I have to admit it is perfectly at home in your hair dfotw. It would be too long and unwieldy for me, which is why I am happy she is so nice about custom work!

[dfotw]

Thank you, Ishje! And islandboo, are you getting a custom done, then? :eyebrows:

[islandboo]

Not at the moment, sadly. But she is bookmarked in my favorites list!

[dfotw]

Wow... whose custom is this? (http://www.etsy.com/listing/82824402/reserved-hairstick-rainbow-vortex-in) It's amazing! :thud:

[kdaniels8811]

I want one! Hair or no hair!!

[Juicematic]

I've had her sticks in my etsy cart for a little while now. I just requested a custom order so hopefully I will be a proud owner of her sticks too!

[mwedzi]

Wow... whose custom is this? (http://www.etsy.com/listing/82824402/reserved-hairstick-rainbow-vortex-in) It's amazing! :thud:

It's mine! :cheese:

It's mine! :cheese:

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, I should've known, you have such great taste in hair-toys! We'll get action pics, right? Pretty please? It's going to look AMAZING in your gorgeous hair! :drama:

[tigereye]

I can't believe I never found this shop before :thud:
:D I just asked for a custom, because the length just wasn't right for me on the glow-in-the-dark one I just about fell in love with.

[Venefica]

I am a big Aliarose fan, I have several hairsticks from her, and I have some dice hairsticks and some customs on the way, she do nice work.

[mwedzi]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaah, I should've known, you have such great taste in hair-toys! We'll get action pics, right? Pretty please? It's going to look AMAZING in your gorgeous hair! :drama:

Well, since you've been so generous with your lovely pictures, how can I say no? I haven't been taking the best care of my hair lately, been so busy and tired, but time to get back on it.

[Venefica]

That rainbow hairstick is amazing, it will look great in your hair Mwedzi.

So have anyone fallen in love with Aliarose's polymer clay work yet, she made a haristick and earring set for me with Pea Shooters fom Plants vs Zombies and the details are amazing, and the other polymer clay sticks I have seen in her store to is breathtaking.

[dfotw]

Well, since you've been so generous with your lovely pictures, how can I say no? I haven't been taking the best care of my hair lately, been so busy and tired, but time to get back on it.

I'm sure your hair stills looks lovely, and the promise of such a stunning hair-toy will make it look even better! :D

Looking forwards to the pics! :eyebrows:

Venefica, I saw that PeaShooter set, it was amazing! Did she make the pea-shooters herself? :bigeyes: That's amazing, I usually go for the beaded sticks, but all her work is beautiful...

[Venefica]

Yes she made the Pea Shooters herself, the detailing is great, she is very talented.

Oh that is pretty Pepperminttea, the hairsticks and your bun are amazing. But pray tell what bun in that and how do you make it?

[Juicematic]

Has anyone tried to contact her recently? I sent her a message last week and haven't heard back yet. :sad:

[Venefica]

I got a note from Aliarose five days ago saying she had shipped out an order of hairsticks to me, that is the last contact I have had with her.

[pepperminttea]

Oh that is pretty Pepperminttea, the hairsticks and your bun are amazing. But pray tell what bun in that and how do you make it?

Thank you! :flower: It's actually just a plain ol' braided cinnabun, coiled counter-clockwise - that unbraided portion between the centre and the lower coil is the braid tassel trying to poke out after I tucked it under the middle. :o

[Venefica]

Thank you for the information, the bun is very pretty.

[Juicematic]

I got a note from Aliarose five days ago saying she had shipped out an order of hairsticks to me, that is the last contact I have had with her.

Thanks. Maybe she is just super swamped right now.

[Venefica]

That might be, though sometimes a mail do get lost in the...big black hole of the internet....if you do not hear back from her in a little while then perhaps writing her again might be a good idea.

[kdaniels8811]

I heard from her yesterday, she was sick for a few days but is back at 'em again. She is a wonderful artist and great to work with. I need to stay away from her site, she has too many pretties to choose from! My hair barely goes into a bun, patience, patience....

[Venefica]

I should stay away from her site to, but it is so hard as she have so much pretty stuff.

[Ishje]

I asked Aliarose to make a custom hairstick for me.
it is supposed to be a Christmas gift for my mum.
all her stuff is so wonderful, can't wait to see what she will come up with.
and well, I might just order a stick or 2 for myself as well if there are funds :D

[mwedzi]

I got my stick! And she gave me colorful earrings to match that tinkle when you shake them! Yay! :cheese:

I feel like I have about a million of her gorgeous sticks! I was the very third customer in her shop after she opened it up. (I had a head's up on here that she was getting it started. ;)) Kelly Anne is one of the easiest people to work with and she's become a very good friend over the past few years. Being an avid gamer for over 20 years, I have quite the dice collection in stick-form. :D This set of pics won't show them all, but here are some action shots:

Long hair bear - All of your hair sticks are lovely! :)

JamieLeigh - I love all the Geekery hair sticks, they are really great! :)

Here is the only Aliarose hair stick I own. I don't really wear it too often because it is 8 1/3 inches long. For some reason I didn't really look at the length when I purchased it, I only saw purple!! :D

http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q509/Avaya7/CIMG2698.jpg

Sparkleberry in Orchid, Purple and Fuchsia with Swarovski Crystals.

I think I need to purchase more of her hair sticks but probably in a shorter length. :o

Here is the custom order - the dice are purple, but in the sunlight and in strong indoor light, they glitter an aqua colour. The sticks are sparkly aqua in the same colour as the glitter.

Those dice hairsticks are awesome.

I love your new hair stick Long Hair Bear.

Jamie that 2D2 hairstick is amazing.

I have actually quite a few Aliarose hairsticks, I have one small pair of glass pumpkins, one stick with a large polymer clay pumpkin, several dice hairsticks and a hairstick with a custom Plans vs Zombies Pea Shooter topper, oh and a glass bead glow in the dark salamander one. I love her work. I am currently waiting for two pairs of cupcake customs, one pair is glass beads, black Gothic cupcakes with roses, the second pair is RPG D12 dice used as cake bread with cupcake frosting and such on the top polymer clay topped once so I am looking forward to those.

[maborosi]

Wow, she makes some really colorful hairsticks!

JamieLeigh- those dice hairsticks are just beautiful! o_o They're so shimmery and pretty!
