Making my 4th fabric tail!

[MermaidTatum20]

HEY! I am Mermaid Tatum and I am making my fourth tail today and it has honestly been a journey to get back at the tail creation point in my life. I have put it off for so long because I was scared of being judged by friends or rude family members. I am so happy that I was re-inspired to create a tail and make it my own.
A little background information on me, I am a soon to be momma and my belly isn't showing that much sadly. So I get the chance to create a tail that will fit me throughout my pregnancy and even afterwards! In my pictures and hopefully videos on youtube I will credit all of my sources and even the places I got certain ideas from! Everyone has their own take on tail creation which is what makes it so fascinating to me. I honestly love all of the input you give others during their journeys!!!

Some of the things I got and am currently waiting for it so come in! Also my wonderful fiancé is buying me a FINIS Luna for my birthday [emoji4] I love him bunches and thank all of the higher ups for giving him to me.

[MermaidTatum20]

Sorry if they are blurry I don’t know why they are?

[Mermaid Whisper]

Are you using spandex?

Excited for this project for sure, but I wanted to pop in and say that Lumiere paint in that color didn't play nice when I put it on spandex. The blue color went straight through and just left gold glitter. Still lovely, though!

Best of luck to you, and keep us posted!

I am actually not using a full spandex mine is a polyester spandex blend with more polyester then spandex in it and that’s kind of the go I love the gold shimmer and it’s for the scales not necessarily for the overall paint and I have used it before on a spandex tail and it worked perfectly fine showing the purple on it I don’t remember how I wanted it to the tail because it didn’t want to stick at first but I did multiple coats

[MermaidTatum20]

I was on my fabric is white and I’m using screen printing ink to kind of do a base

[MermaidTatum20]

If you look up Courtney mermaid on YouTube and find her how to paint a mermaid tail videos that’s where I got my inspiration

[MermaidTatum20]

43266 43267 43268 43269 43270 43267 hope these work better Im sure they will but oh well and here is my inspiration for the tail I used a mertailor template and i used gimp to paint the tail out its supposed to be more of a navy and less of a purple as the back color with a dark line in the center where ill do a second spray over it to create a ridge line. just like some dogs when they get angry

Your flatbread sandwich is very important to me and I demand to know what's on it before this work in progress goes any further. :mad:

Your flatbread sandwich is very important to me and I demand to know what's on it before this work in progress goes any further. :mad:

This made me laugh so hard I started crying. I get the same thing every time so it should be easy. I get a foot-long flatbread with black forest ham lettuce tomatoes pickles mustard and mayonnaise and I get it toasted before the lettuce gets put on. It’s amazing

[MermaidTatum20]

43272 color type two i really like this one its with the kelp tail from mertailor. i think i want my fluke similar but not the same at that i want more stringy bits

[Astridia]

Oooh *Hangs around to see more*

[MermaidTatum20]

i would love to see more people interested in this thread im just waiting on the remaining supplies, one thing im a little confused on how to do, is what to use for the dorsal fins and side fins.
vinyl or something?
or maybe scrap fabric coated in silicon caulking?
Eventually when i get the funds my fiancee is going to help me make a full silicon tail. But thats not until i have this baby. So i settled on the fabric so i can adjust it later on.

[MermaidTatum20]

i would love to have you hang around and if you have any ideas or input that would be awesome!

[MermaidTatum20]

Update !!!! my mahina comes in today!!!!

[MermaidTatum20]

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180412/419c1e351e38f83e655bd7ae50ed9918.jpg it came in [emoji7]

[MermaidTatum20]

Merpeople please explain to my fiancé why this is just a fluke and not a whole tail

[inanna]

Merpeople please explain to my fiancé why this is just a fluke and not a whole tail

because mahina mermaid only sells monofins, and the monofin is the powerhouse behind the dolphin kick that makes up mermaiding. you need a monofin to propel you through the water in a tail, as just feet won't work.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Fish tail. Fish tail very important. Fish tail makes you move. Without Fish tail, you sink and die.

[MermaidTatum20]

Oh my lord my paints are almost all here I’m waiting on two more and that’s it and I have my fabric coming in on Monday and eventually I’ll start the YouTube recording process and then I’m set!

[MermaidTatum20]

*Heavy breathing begins* my fabric comes tomorrow im not gunna panic im gunna be calm im not overly excited you are ! p.s. my dog will be featured in the photos for tomorrow being posted of me sewing and all of that sweet jazz. OMG Tail creation is so exciting, ive literally been so aware of when everything comes in and im like HURRRY UPPP I WANNA GET STARTED ALREADY!!!!! okay excitement down. Also! my fiancee is helping me buy a sketch pad for my computer so i stop using all of the paper in the house.

[Mermaid Roseabella]

I can't wait to see more progress on the tail. I am making mine out of nylon fabric and haven't made a design yet.

[Sea~Phoenix Savannah]

So cool, congratualations on both the upcoming baby and your engagement! Your tail design looks awesome, I can't wait to see the fabric, and (more/ a close up of) the paint, the fabric on the paint and the tail!
