Does this count as an accessory? I hope so because OMG it's so freakin' gorgeous! As I said before I'm slowly working on making myself a pirate garb but stay within a mermaid-y theme, so that I can have a chance to walk around even though that's very rare. Once I'm in a tail, it's pretty hard to get a moment to get out of it and most of the time I end up in tail for the entire event due to the amount of people wanting pictures and such. You know how it goes! LOL
The 'prince' is lucky that I love him so dearly as this dagger will never pierce him and his blood will never touch me to change my legs back into a tail. :p

So a little while ago, I posted on Facebook that I was selling an old pair of unicorn hoofboots and a tail, because I couldn't wear the boots anymore and they just sat in my closet all the time, and I never went out to play the faun character I used to anymore. One of my friends who makes awesome chainmaille and leatherworking gear for her LARPing group ("Live Action Role Play" for those who aren't familiar) offered to trade some custom maille/leatherwork for the set, and we decided to settle on some custom mermaid bracers to match my tail (which is still currently in the works!)
They aren't done yet, but I just got the first WIP pictures of the base and I AM IN LOVE!
23085
There's going to be some white, gold and purple scales attached over the leather (save for the fin) and the fin is going to be painted a pearly white base so I can paint it to match my tail when I get it. :D The bracers are going to be dry-use only (obviously leather and aluminum scales are not a good combo for water... XD), and I'm so excited to see how the final bracers come out!

Done! Sequin MerNecklaces! Can be customized to your tail colors and can have 2-5 rows! I did this one in the colors I'm using for my sequin tail.. I'm really excited about this. I feel like they would go with any type of tail from fabric to realistic. I'd love to make some for other mers to help fund my sequin and latex tails....

I know, right? She's like some sort of freaking armor-crafting sorceress. The stuff she can do with chainmaille and leather is incredible!
These bracers especially blew me away because, as far as I know, she's only been leatherworking for maybe a couple of months at the absolute most! I literally cannot get over how gorgeous these are and am itching to start wearing them to my Western Martial Arts sessions. <3

There's a company called Safari Ltd. that makes realistic plastic animals, and they have a nice line of sea creatures. Since all of our Mermaid Galene & Salty Stuart programs are animal-themed, I've been using these figures as additions to my costumes. You can buy them on Amazon or on the Safari Ltd. website (https://safariltd.com/).

Tia, there is an extensive list here that you can check for netting suppliers: http://mernetwork.com/index/showthread.php?6472-%E2%98%85-The-Accessory-Making-FAQ-%E2%98%85
But you can usually find it at party supply places (in decor), craft stores, shell shops, and online or Amazon, Oriental Trading Co, and craft supply sites. Often, however, online sites will offer it without giving you a choice of color, so be aware of that.

I nearly forgot to post this here! I made it about a month ago...
The base is jute covered wire, thick, about 16 gauge. The pearls, shells, and greenery are all attached with wire as well. No glue was used. The greenery is both pinkish and green. with a pearlescent finish.
I hope to add a few to my inventory, soon.

When I started making accessories I was told not to use it because it doesn't hold up long when wearing it in water. It'll rot so that's why nobody uses it because most of us swim and want things to hold up so we use fishing line or netting as the base.

03-19-2015, 12:06 PM

It is all wood, for the pole I used an old broken pool umbrella that twisted apart in the center.
Here are the progress shots of me making it:
First I drew out a pattern of what I wanted it to look like (not functional of course) Then I mirrored the image so that it would be the same on both sides.
28355
Next I traced it onto some scrap wood I had and then cut it out.
28356
I cut out the trident and sanded the edges so they had a bit of a curve. Then I glued shells and made some 'gem' like shapes also. (All will be covered in paint.
28359
I sanded everything- even the pole because at the end I wanted it all to be gold.
28357
At the top of the pole I cut a notch in it so that the trident head could easily rest on it.
28358
I painted a base color on the trident head so that the metallic paint would stand out and not be darkened buy all the colors of the shells underneath.
And then I used heavy duty glue to glue the pole to the head.
28360
I hope this helped :D

I cleaned it, spray painted it, and then encrusted it in shells, broken/fragmented shells, glitter, pearls, and beads.

What lovely tiaras, Samantha!
exdraghunt, your whole outfit is glorious! I love the top and how it works with the colors of your tail. And your goggles turned out great! I tried doing the same thing with a metal mask several months ago, but somehow it just didn't blend with my goggles. Maybe it was the goggle style or something.

Does anyone know if Tin foil will mess up the cure or stick to shell shock/resin?

I have had foil stick to small resin pieces in the past. It peeled off pretty easily, /but/ if there is any detailing it will stick mightily and it sucks.

Well I mean, I used foil to line my mould box, so it's all flat.

Not sure if I posted the completed version, but I made a matching hair clip to go with a punk rock/glam rock top. I finished the top today and happily took pics of both.

( freshwater pearls) the earrings need new hooks on them, and the multi- strand white and pink pearl necklaces I won't change. I also got a bunch of glass beads in ziplock bags for $3!

04-29-2015, 07:23 AM
As the base I used a normal headband from flea market and first confirmed it stayed on very well by itself, and while making the thing I just every now and then tried it on to secure it stayed fit enough but not too fit, I made that mistake with one headband where I glued some small shells and it got so small I can't almost get it on my head anymore... XD So it just stays there by itself :) Might be that I have to figure smthn out to hold it still while swimming though, because now it definitely wouldn't stay :)

Prepare yourselves for a lot of photos haha, I've been super into making necklaces lately. I might open up an etsy shop in the future if it's requested. For now though if anyone wants one just pm me and I do paypal:) made with real seashells, stone, and pearls! I will also do custom necklaces if desired:) not certain if I will start selling them but if anyone is interested in buying one let me know!
