[edited the post: I finished the alterations (fluke became smaller coz it was too fragile like that big way; and put the new pics - and put all informations into one section) ]

Hello Guys,

I want to sell my self-made Turquoise-Gold mermaid tail. Not perfect, but unique (I think).
Spent more than a year creating it but lost the interest and the elan, maybe another mer could use it more, for photoshoot or anything. (*20-02-'17: also, I lost some weight yeeey ^^ so its getting too big)

So tried to measure as accurate as possibble:

around waist: 94 cm ~ 37"
bellybutton line: 103 cm ~ 40,5"
around bottoms 'highest': 107 cm ~ 42,1"
around under bottom: 101 cm ~ 39,7"
knee line: 70 cm ~ 27,5"
underknee line (where the thinnest): 69 cm ~ 27"
calf, where widest: 67 cm ~ 26,3"

lenght (measured on the front)
from heel to waist: 110 cm ~ 43,3"
heel to knee (tightest point): 47 cm ~ 18,5"
knee to hips (widest point): 41 cm ~ 16"
hips to waistline: 22 cm ~ 8,6"

39976
39977
39978
39979
39980
39981
39982
(these pics taken in snow, not really in a tail's natural habitat X) with baaad lights but the other pics are closer its true colours)


Leaderfin's Trainer monofin (stiffness: soft-the orange one) in it with umm I think Medium footpocket? My feets eu39 size and comfortably fits, also quiet wide footpockets (and I cut the straps coz I felt it more easy to wear and "jump out" from it, in case I felt unsafe)

oh and its around 14 kgs ~ 30 lbs (with a dorsal fin, pair of 'heel fins' and pair of 'ankle fins')

Tail fully from DragonSkin Silicone

The color: used art pigment powders mixed in the material (not painted on). I intended to replicate a turquoise mineral stone-like look and I think I succeed. Since the wanted effect is stone, its not glittery-shiny-watery (when dry), somewhere more dense, somewhere bit more translucent as I tried to play with it, except the golden parts, wich are in flashlight or in sunlight really poppin' out from the matte surrounding :)
Has some drainage channels.

Has a few, 4 or 5 swim in it, not much opportunity came by for me to use it.
The side seams look quite neat too. I can send more pics from details or anything


Asking 1600 USD for it, I have literally no idea about shipping yet (from Europe-Hungary :/), what do You guys think?

I LOVE this tail and have some girls who could fit it. Some questions: can the blended waist at the top be painted to match the blue of the tail? I'm not a fan of blended waists, personally, and that might be one alteration I would consider. Also, if we needed to size the waist down a bit, is it possible to take it in? I know nothing about tail construction and resizing. We can make it work as is, but if we can make it a bit more snug, all the better. Thanks so much!

Hey Laura,
see, from the pictures above this one (the fifth) shows how can I post-paint it: the original, mixed in skin color reached till the ps-drawn line and met there with the also encapsulated blue colors. What u see above that line is the post paint (I did it on the purpose that the waistline was too low so it looked like ma butt is out :DD), thats how I could solve the rest too

About taking in from the waist, I am not sure if I have the courage to cut into, as me too just having a tiny experience from tail-making, wouldn't call it practice :/ how much smaller should be..?

That tail is STUNNING. You are incredibly talented.
I've forwarded this to someone looking at that price range, but here's a link to a tail Classifields Facebook group as well. It should totally sell well here: https://www.facebook.com/groups/buysellortradeatail/

Personally, I wish so so badly I had the money because I LOVE the look and design of this tail. I had bookmarked this page awhile back and coming back to it- still love the look of this tail! If you ever decide you still want to sell it I'd love to message you about it

Omg, this won't fit me, but holy moly it is absolutely gorgeous! I see lots of pretty tails, but not as many catch my eye like this one. It looks like it's out of a fairy tale, and almost like it's a book cover. Reminds me of a magic library for some odd reason.
But long story short, it's so gorgeous I couldn't not comment!
