Information and Fan Sites

Dragons Touch - This is a new site that is gathering information about fantasy artists and showcasing their work, it is also going be an information site about all things dragon. It's still new at the moment so there isn't a lot of information on there just yet but it shows a lot of promise and is more than worth keeping an eye on (plus they are going to put Andrew Bills work up too)

Seen Through a Dragon's Eye - This was an ever expanding site run by two enthusiastic collectors (Trev and Ang) and was more than worth a visit, Ranges covered were Enchantica, Verbum Magus, Dragon Bones, Danbury Mint, Pocket Dragons and Tudor Mint and more were to follow, a lot of the photos in the Enchantica section were supplied by me along with the rotations for the 'By Request' section. There was often some fun lively (sometimes wacky) chat on this site too. Unfortunatly the site has shrunk and now only includes Enchantica & Dragonbones. Since the sad death of Trev, and with Ang doing other things, it is unlikely this site will ever be updated again

A Dragon's Fantasy - This site is run by fellow collector Sy (Wooks) Seddon and covers a lot of John J. Woodwards work. nothing has been done to it for a long time though.

Kent Caldwell.com - Web site run by Kent to showcase his artwork, some of which can be seen on this site.

Here Be Dragon's - This site is run by Jen 'The Dragon Lady' who helped get the official Enchantica site (with Anna Karin-Larsson) something near a decent site until RD changed it and ruined it, Jen is very enthusiastic and her site covers all things that involve Dragons. (Note: I'm not sure if this is run by Jen any more, it's very heavily over run with Yahoo adverts which make it a pain to go through)

Tiny Home - This fan site is run by Fellow collector Dave Poole and besides his collection of Enchantica it's shows his other interests and collections like Photography and tobacco advertising.

 

Retailers

Friendly Dragon & Friendly Spirit -  Two shops next door to each other and owned by the same people (Janet & her Daughters Lucy & Laura and Janets partner, Jon) based in the Piece Hall in Halifax. Everyone is extremely helpful and friendly (as the name suggests). They stock Enchantica, Nemesis Now, Tudor Mint and they have the largest selection of Windstone that I've seen for years, they also sell many other ranges including lots of Green man stuff and many things you'd normally only expect to find in little shops in Cornwall! there are also many spiritual & pagan gifts in the Friendly Spirit section. You need to call into both shops though because the stock is spread throughout them both and they are full to the rafters with items and you'll not see it all in one visit! - Photos of the Enchantica show they held in February 2008 can be found Here (while you're there also visit the shop next door called Collect@ who sell all the Dragonsite ranges)

Collect @ - A very friendly shop run by Pat & Andy Steer, based in the piece Hall in Halifax. You'll find a great collection of all the Dragonsite ranges, from Verbum Magus, Bookwyrms & all the faeries. you'll be made to feel very welcome. there are also a few other fantasy figures in the shop worth looking at. The shop was undergoing a few alterations while I was there to make the display area better looking . If you like them, you'll also find one of the biggest selections of 'Bad Taste Bears' in the country. (while you're there also visit the shop next door called Friendly Dragon who have a great selection of other dragons and faeries)

I Do Believe - UK based online store that sell many fantasy products, aimed squarely at the Faerie collector, they have a vast selection of prints, figurines, gifts, stationary and many other faerie related products by such artists as Nene Thomas & Amy Brown etc... They are also the sole European distributor of the Amy Brown Signature Series range, I can't recommend them highly enough, they are very friendly and every order I've made feels like a personal communication not a business transaction, if you want anything faerie related I'd recommend I Do Believe over everyone else. (and no I'm not on commission :-) )

Dragon Alley -  UK stockist of Dragonsite and Enchantica pieces that not only has an online store but also have an actual retail shop that you can wander around and inspect the pieces you are interested in! they are based in Pembroke in South Wales and held the first Enchantica event in many years in July 2007. They also stock many other fantasy ranges too as well as having an internet cafe and stocking Games Workshop gaming figures and running table top battles! I recommend them very highly, if you are in the area you must pay them a visit. - Photos of the Enchantica show they held in July 2007 can be found Here

White Dove -  Yet another UK stockist of Dragonsite and Enchantica pieces that not only has an online store but also have an actual retail shop that you can wander around and inspect the pieces you are interested in! they are based in Edinburgh and they came highly recommended to me, on visiting the shop myself, they didn't have huge amounts in stock, it was heavily biased towards Nemesis Now products and a word of warning, they also sell lots of Scottish tourist gifts that border on the tacky side but given it's location on the Royal Mile it's understandable but i would rather walk in and see dragons than tartan cows, sheep & teddy bears!

Collectables Ltd - This is the place I have bought a lot of the later pieces from, they are quick and friendly and come highly recommended.

Sues Curios - Another UK Enchantica retailer that has a shop and a website, they also sell a lot of Enchantica on eBay too, they also sell Land of Dragons and Myth and Magic but not Dragonsite as yet. Based in Mablethorpe.

Danbury Mint - This is a mail order company who do a lot of Fantasy pieces, John J. Woodward has done a lot of work for them and Andrew Bill has done a piece for them, also new sculptor 'Alex Lee'
