Hihi..Name's Jazzy. 19 year old girl from Canada~ I'm new to the whole..eh..Merfandom as I've seen people call it. :D

I grew up watching the little mermaid almost everyday (I was even named after her, my middle name is Ariel) and I loved it. When my friends and I would go swimming and play as our own made up characters (LARP basically..heh) I would always want to be a mermaid, I was so in love with them. I wished they had costumes that you could swim in...little did I know that they actually existed!
While I was searching art of mermaids I saw an actual costume that you could swim in. Immediatley teared up (yep im lame i know! childhood dream accomplished) and had to look into it more. So I did and now I'm here!

Some things about me-
i love to draw, sew and costume.
Im a gamer! PC mostly, hooked on WoW.
I love to RP~

I'm an artist and fursuit maker, hoping to branch out to mercostumes now. :) I've never worked with silicone or latex so this should be a fun learning adventure for me haha.
My character is Jazmyne, not quite a mermaid..but a siren. think pirates of the carribean ''mermaids'', those are sirens heh.

But yeah...sorry I totally owe a TLDR but im lazy..thank you for having this site and allowing me to find people who share the same interest!

Never come across the term 'Merfandom' before, but welcome to the mermaid community! We have a lot of things in common haha! I'm an artist, love sewing, a cosplayer and a gamer! Also I've never made a full fursuit before, (attempted a head once and not bad!) but definatly interested in the anthro form of art :)

Welcome Jazzy, I also love sewing, and I have worked with fur before. I have to say that it is not an easy material to work with. I'm on Deviant Art too, by the username of spotted-cat. I mostly do landscape photography. Whats your DA username? I hope you like it here. From what I've seen on this website, working with silicone is a completely different process than working with a fabric. I hope your tail making goes well for you, and you find this site useful.
