Help needed - iris (or 'flat eyes') :( Posted by tsu on Sep 11, 2008
Hi there,

I'm coming out with an uncommon request to anybody from here. I'm looking for the irises and couldn't find anything appropriate so far until I've found the Braylu shop located in the USA that has a perfect irises for me. BUT... yes, but there is one problem. I live in England and that item is too small for them to ship outside the USA.
Would be possible for anyone of you (from the USA) to buy them for me and then ship them to UK? Do not worry, you will not incur any risk that I'd not pay for them after you place an order and I'll dissapear. I'd send you money first and I'd do this at my own risk.
Would anyone like to help me?

Or, on the other hand - does anybody know a good store that supplies puppet/doll-makers with a huge range of irises and international shipping service (even for small things)? OK, maybe it is not so necessary that I must have ONLY irises, but I'm searching for eyes with no white - just with an iris and a pupil. I've seen something on eBay, but they seemed to be very convex and I prefer something more flat. There might be some exceptions from that 'rule', I mean, I could buy an eye with a white but I couldn't find anything with a completely flat white and just a slightly convex iris on it...
PS. I'm looking for shiny eyes...

Could anyone help me, please? Would anybody like to 'cooperate' with me and buy these irises for me from Braylu and then ship them to UK?

You can e-mail me () or answer here, if you like.

I'd be very grateful.

You may have better luck on ebay. Here is one person that sells them from $2.99 - $4.99....... I'm sure the would consider shipping to you........... if not I can work with you I am going to order some 19mm for myself.

I'll try and help you find them and get them to you at a reasonable price. What color and size?

Billy, you're great!
These are EXACTLY like those I'm looking for.
I need green ones, but not very dark, something like they've got would be nice:

... and size: these 19mm in diameter would be great.

If I understand well - you can buy them for yourself at this auction and some of them just send to me as well?
If possible, could you do it for me? Let me know, please, I'll send you money for postage (let me please know how approximately high it may be - there's no problem even if the real price will be smaller than supposed one).

Billy, you made my day.

I'll be waiting for your response.

Thanks!

I have contacted the seller and am in question to the size. Branlu uses the 16mm in his 1 1/2 " vent eyes.................... So I'm questioning if the 19mm may be to big for me. but if you are sure you want the 19mm I will go ahead and order them................. Do you need them in a hurry? or would regular snail mail be ok.
If you will PM me your address or email me. I will get back with you on payment. I only except paypal............... and would not bill you until I recieve them and they are ready to ship to you. I'll only charge you $4.99 plus the exact shipping.

Glad to help

Billy D.

(UPDATE)

I found this chart.................... 16mm is about the size of a US dime and 19mm is the size of a US penny

I'm sticking with the 19mm

Hi Billy,

I've just came back home after the evening shift and I'm glad you gave me an answer. It's making my evening now, haha.
You are really great, you know?

And yes, you can order these 19mm green ones. I can not exactly imagine how the US penny and dime looks like, but I was even trying to measure my own iris (don't ask) and compare to the puppet's eye (don't ask again, haha... but no, I didn't try to pull my eye out, put it onto a desk and then measure... :D).
In a moment I'll send you a PM message with every detail. I've got my PayPal account as well, so there will be no problem.

Thank you once again,
Iza
