Bah, sorry for the crappy pics. Too lazy to put on makeup for it too XD... and yes, I'm wearing pajama pants. :o

I think the top (AND you) looks really pretty :)

I really like the starfish with the shells. I think it's the composition that gets me, also i don't think I've really seen anyone pair the two together that way. Nice job. Did you use a silicone starfish?

You look lovely without makeup, by the way.

[Mermaidmechanic]

Ha, thanks XP. The starfish is a latex starfish from a mold I was experimenting with. I'm going to start making my starfishes out of silicone now that I've figured things out a little better. I plan on making another top since this one probably wont be practical for long swims or tricks.

Wow! That is the coolest top I have ever seen! I love how the netting is torn, and the cups look like the stuff was puller right off of a rock xD The starfish is the best part!

[Winged Mermaid]

Awesome job! I really love the starfish! Any chance you'd think of selling them?

[Mermaidmechanic]

Once I battle test the starfish and make absolute sure the paint and materials will hold, I would sell them if anyone wanted. I just have to be sure that they are nearly indestructible first. Of course all starfish would be custom painted accordingly.

[MermaidBrittany]

I would buy one! :D

[Blondie]

Woohoo!! Wonderful!

[Mermaid Octavia]

I myself would love a top with two starfish! That would be perfect! Your top is amazing. <3

What is the green backing behind your shells? I have so many medium-sized shells lying around, I feel bad about shelling out money for big ones. A top like this would be perfect.
