Thought I would consolidate the things I'm working on into one place, basically because I just don't have the time to go searching all around for tailmaking threads I have underway. I will still update individual tail threads, but this is sort of a catch-all. I didn't want to start an external blog and take people out of Mernetwork.

For my first trick...Look at my awesome new pigment!

See, the chameleon pigment totally works on top of the black base.

Okay I've been up since 4am, I'm coasting on maybe four hours of sleep and I just watched the video.

The first few seconds had me like

"Oh it's a pretty gold and black color, that looks neat"

And then it starts changing color and I'm like

"... wait what the shell"

And then it KEEPS CHANGING COLOR and the whole time I'm like

http://i.imgur.com/oBG9MEQ.gif
"WHAT IS THIS WITCHCRAFT, PEARLIE?! WHAT IS YOUR SECRET?!"


Seriously though, I am actually kind of tripping over how amazing that new pigment is. Color changing tail??? Ohmycod, yes.



::EDIT:: Personally, I would love to a see a tail that's mostly a solid dark color (not necessarily black, but maybe like a dark purple?) but then have like fancy markings or patches or stripes that are made with the polychrome pigment. That'd look PRETTY FREAKIN NEATO I THINK.

I caught it on FB and was wide eyed and needed to watch it a few times. My little guy, curled up next to me in bed, says: "What's dat? Mermaid tail?" I said yes... And then the smart little guy proceeded to tell me how it works: "It gets closer to the Earth and turns purple. It gets closer to the sun and turns Gold." :lol:

Just scrumptious. I officially want a Pearlie Mae piece of sculpture art/tail.

My tail making questions thread clearly stated that this is what I was doing. It's not like I can trade mark the process, and I'm all about idea sharing.

But here's the rub...
The way I see it, you were either doing it and told me it wasn't going to work to keep the idea to yourself, or you are working with my idea and calling it your own.

Neither are very cool right?

I feel like implying that Pearlie "stole" your method out of some selfish, malicious intent is kind of reaching, tbh.

It's not stealing if I put it out there. I don't think she's malicious. But I am totally confused. I seriously considered giving up and that it wasn't going to work because she said so. I totally hope I have it all confused. I think PearlieMae is amazingly talented and also super nice and helpful.

Erm...it doesn't work when you mix it in with silicone. It gets muddy. I guess I wasn't clear between the first reply and the second. I have hit upon a way to get it to show without peeling off the topcoat.

I used The chameleon pigments in 2013, for my entry into the Merfest Tailmaking Contest in January '14. It wasn't perfect, and there have been scales that had to be replaced - and that was a pain - and have been cranking out scales by the thousands since, testing and perfecting all along the way.

I wasn't trying to deceive you, and I certainly wasn't stealing your idea.

And, quite frankly, I'm feeling rather smacked in the mouth in my own thread, now. I have read and re-read the post over and over, and I thought I made myself clear at "I use it sparingly...", but I guess not.

I was not trying to discourage you. Whether you chose to give up rather than experiment is not my fault.

PearlieMae
06-12-2016, 09:28 PM
And yes, I HAVE known about the black base for a long time. My problem was with getting the pigment/topcoat conundrum right, finally. That's why I posted it recently.

Mermatron Athena
06-12-2016, 10:06 PM
I'm really not trying to smack you in the mouth. I'm sorry if it came across that way. I'm trying to communicate that I have no doubt you would have done it first because you make awesome stuff. I'm just confused as why you wouldn't have thrown it into the convo on my thread? We kinda have been chatting on it this whole time. I didn't give up, and I know even if I did give up it wouldn't be your fault.
I'm sorry. I guess I really was confused about what you were warning me about.
And I publicly do apologize. I don't mean to come off like I'm some hot shot with a super secret patented method that someone's stealing. I really really don't mean it like that. You do great work. I just started.

I was being too touchy. I've had a lot happen in my life in the last few weeks (ending up in a wheelchair and finding out my rare condition has some really bad complications develop and now have an average life expectancy of 48 when that's 12 years away and I have 4 special needs kids to take care of) and I misunderstood you. That's no excuse though. I didn't mean to make you feel attacked, and again I'm sorry and was confused about what you said in my thread of tail making questions.

Oh shit! I'm so sorry we've had a misunderstanding! I wasn't trying to mislead you at all! I only have my phone to get online with at home and perhaps I would have explained better if I could see what I was writing on a big screen instead of eight word chunks on my phonescreen.

I'm so sorry for what you're going through! Maybe we both are feeling a bit touchy, but I have nothing like your circumstance to put it on. I apologize with all my heart!

Can we reset and start again?

I saw your color-shifting scale on IG and was really excited to see a tailmaker figure out how to use those pigments!

As a nail addict I'm big on all things multichrome. Those pigments definitely are meant to be used over a black base. That's how they do it for the most extreme effect on cars ("chameleon" pigment topcoat over a matte black car is most common), and the same logic applies to nail color. The pigments can be mixed with other colors to some degree but they are VERY easy to muddy, and that's just applying them in paint. So seeing that super-clean shift on silicone was VERY satisfying. I can't even imagine the time it took testing to perfect this. :O_o:

So, squee! Great work!

PearlieMae
06-14-2016, 03:51 PM
I've not yet heard back from Athena, so she might still be miffed with me. :(

I have some samples over color bases, too, but black works best! I want to make a larger sampling of scales to see how they look piled together, but I have tails to finish, first!

It wasn't easy to perfect, and I still have to run some durability tests.

Mermaid Morgann
06-14-2016, 08:53 PM
Talk about a stunner! I can't wait to see what you do with these shifting pigments. I've been messing around a bit with iridescence in silicone things like starfish, but I'm not even brave enough yet to go full color shift. I'm practically drowning with excitement right now over the thought of my own tail using similar pigments!


You, my dear, are a true genius tail artisan!

Trident True
06-15-2016, 05:24 AM
Impressive, I like it. Does the colour change due to how the light hits the colour or is it the angle its on?

RNHime
06-15-2016, 08:17 AM
Impressive, I like it. Does the colour change due to how the light hits the colour or is it the angle its on?I can safely answer this one. These are considered light-interference pigments, so it's both the light and the angle. Changing the angle shifts the color, but moving into a different lighting will also change the colors. Unlike holographic pigments that thrive in full-sun, chromatic pigments often "shine" best in indirect light, where you can see more of the shift at once.

Oh, and here is a fun fact that all us mermaids should REALLY love!! There is a trick for photographing chromatic nail polish in a way that shows the most colors possible: put your nails underwater! The refraction of the water actually bends the light in such a way that you see more colors at once. So a true multichrome tail has the potential to look STUNNING underwater. :eyepop:

Is that big chunks of glitter? I always thought that it wasn't durable in silicone because the glitter cut itself out?

Or did you find a secret magical way around that? Haha

PearlieMae
10-10-2016, 03:42 PM
Not a secret magical way, really...you just use the chunky glitter in places that won't flex much. The center of the fluke isn't going to be manipulated like the body of the tail would be, and all the chunky glitter in my personal fluke is all in place after 2+ years, so this placement should be fine. I wouldn't use the chunky stuff at the end of the fluke where it would be likely to cut its way out of the rubber.

This is still in the mold, so you're actually seeing the inside part of the fluke - and I haven't cleaned up the areas around the swirls just yet...still a lot to do!

Before I started working with silicone I didn't like pink. It was OK, occasionally, but I could never label it a favorite color by any means. Then I used the "pink gold" pigment. Then I found the "flamingo pink" pigment. Then I saw your pink scales.

Now it's definitely a favorite.

This is amazing

Also, the fluke came out of the mold this shiny...no topcoat!

So awesome Pearlie! And that cat was hilarious! I had to stop myself from laughing out loud cause, you know, people sleeping and stuff.

I've been remiss in keeping up this thread, I've been so busy trying to finish tails, and some personal issues - my landlord wants to sell the house I rent, I've been here more than 13 years, and he's been a total pain in the ass!

I'm hoping to get some accessories - scale bracers, Lilypad tops, resin shells for tops, headpieces, hybrid tails, silicone flukes with built in monofins for make your own tails...all kinds of stuff - up in my Etsy shop (link in my signature), and I am SO close to finishing FOUR TAILS!

Good heavens, I'm tired :bed now:

PS Colorshifting mini tails, too!

I can't wait to see your new tails!! :) (And sorry to hear about you having to move. I was always envious that you had a lake in your backyard!)

It is your thread, you can do whatever you want with it! But I'd be lying if I said I don't like the updates. Good luck on the tails! And I'm sorry that you're having to move after staying in your current place for so long, and that your landlord is being a butt. It inspires me that even in the midst of all that you still keep rocking.

I'm so excited to see all the new accessories and the spin you put on them! Congrats on being almost done with four tails!

I would imagine you are! The colorshifting mini tail is beautiful!

I never get on here but, who is the future owner of that amazing blue tail with all the big fins??? Omg. Whoever you are, it's gonna be a crime if you don't post video of it in the water.

Sorry I've been away so long but I've been busier than a one-finned fish trying to swim in a straight line!

After a long, ugly story, the blue tail isn't going to the mer that ordered it, so I'll be putting it up for auction as soon as I get back from Hawaii.

I'm putting the finishing touches on a tail made of scraps and experiments and I WILL SWIM IN IT BEFORE I LEAVE MAUI! It's all over my Instagram - @mermaidpearliemae - it's coming out pretty but there are some major flaws...if it works for a week, I'll be happy!

Clients waiting for tails: as soon as i get back from this much needed vacation (my last 'vacation' was two years ago when my mom died), I am full speed ahead on finishing your tails. Thank you all so much for your patience!

I love all your tail designs (even the one make out of scraps...it's so unique). Where should I be watching to know when then blue tail is up for auction? (What website will you post it on?) I'd love to own one of your tails.

Cyber Monday sale on Silicone!
Just a heads-up for you guys... Here's a link to get 20% off Dragonskin Medium (same size as Smooth-On's Trial Size):
https://www.micromark.com/&leadsource=email&utm_source=Marketing&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=17WS095

Or this link: http://e.micromark.com/public/viewmessage/html/38791/9mqv0htdbha9q8y2ikbef8up9v56f/0bdd03eb000000000000000000000010f952

It's 20% off sitewide, not just the silicone (all the casting and molding supplies are private-labeled Smooth-On products, but I'm not supposed to tell you that) and if you spend more than $100, it's free shipping (continental US). But use these links or you don't get the Cyber Monday discount!

Random question: Did those resin shells you posted on Insta ever get put on Etsy? Did I miss it? Was thinking about secret santa gifts and the blue-green ones would match a friends tail perfectly

No, I didn't put them up - I'm still trying to engineer them to bring the cost own and still be pretty and durable. As they are, I'd have to sell them plain and unfinished at no less than $40 a pair. They're pretty labor intensive!
