I was contacted by an art gallery that said they would love to have one of my tails on display for their opening! :D
So what would be better than a tail inspired by one of the biggest artists in the world! Vincent Van Gogh :swoon:

I have two side fins that will follow on from the wind lines at the top ;)

Oh he was my fave painter when I was in art school!
Are you going to cut any part of the monofin? Or leave it natural?

Oh my goodness!!! I'm totally following this. Can't wait to see the final product!!
i have a thing with Gustav Klimt's art and mermaids (my grade 11 final piece was both combined and my art teacher wanted to keep it as an example for other students)

Damn. I thought my client was going to have quite the original tail. ;)
Very cool, Fifi! Love the textures and I want that monofin! xD
Had a client request a Starry Night tail recently as well, which will be started in January. :)

Geez, once Fifi rocks this tail, I'm going to have to do a Vermeer tail just to keep up!

That is great that you get to be in an art gallery! Recently I was thinking that it would be fun to see mermaid tails in art galleries, because they are amazing pieces of art. I love that tail and the fluke shape is really cool! I love how many artists are inspired by the Starry Night painting.

One day, I'll have one of your tails Fifi! The Mirage fin is the perfect size for me and to have a beautiful tail with 3D scales on it, is pure bliss!
My current tail is printed spandex with rainbow scales and stripes.

This is so beautiful! I'm not normally a huge fan of more abstract tails but this one is just gorgeous. Starry Night is one of my favorite paintings ever and you nailed it!!

Oh my, this is lovely. And I'm not usually a fan of the scale-less tails, but this one is a masterpiece.

It's been a long break but I'm now making tails again but they are all this swirl design as I find they help with keeping the tails light, flexible and easy to travel with.
So I'm now offering 2 slots.
Adult tails start from $1,500 AUD
(shipping not included)
Each tail is unique and are totally handmade, no molds, may have little imperfections.
* Aquarium Grade Silicone and scuba fabric.
* Finis Foil into the tail for swimming.
* Handmade scales and fluke.
* Your custom design and choice of colors
EXTRAS
* Larger fluke design $180
* Dorsal fin $180
* Pair of fins $80
* Fancy patterns/designs is an extra $150
* Glitter coat $50
* A matching top can be made for $180
* Each tail takes an estimated 4-8 weeks depending on materials and weather
* You must provide measurements and body pattern would be fantastic to get that perfect fit!
*DISCLAIMER
These tails are not toys, You must have at least a year's experience in swimming in a monofin so you are physically strong enough to handle the tail in and out of the water!
And NO being an experienced swimmer does not count unless you have been swimming in a monofin!
You MUST always have a swimming buddy at all times when swimming in a tail!!
When wearing your tail you enter the water at your own risk and I am in no way liable.
