I get to make a merman's first tail!!! AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

[Mermaid Dottie]

Friend of mine asked me to make his first merman tail!!!!!!!
I'm so excited to get started. ^_^
He wants it Green and Black, and based on a dragon. <3:D:D:D:D:D

That's awesome Dottie! What kind of material are you going to be making it out of?

[MerAnthony]

How much would you charge for another tail Dottie?

[Mermaid Dottie]

It's just a painted spandex tail with a finis rapid, but he literally said, and I quote.
"Hell, yeah I'd wear one! I'd wear it with no shame!"
Gotta love it.
Not to mention he's dating my friend, Bells, so it's an awesome opportunity for a mer-couple photoshoot, and underwater couple video, if they'll let me...

I told this guy $200, but I'm not sure if I'm willing to attempt to ship one.... Taking on multiple projects at a time has me scared. I have this tail, banners/flags for renfest (which is in 2 days 0.0) and a jacket-thing my friend wanted. PLUS I've gotta help my hubby with his projects he's been slacking on.
I had to put a password on the computer today, because he gets addicted to video games, then slacks on stuff he's supposed to do. (He knew I was angry when I unplugged the computer without warning.)

Good luck!

[Mermaid Dottie]

got the fabric, got the paint, got the measurements, just waiting on the monofin to get here, so I can make a pattern....

hey, that sounds awesome!
maybe you could post pictures of the finished tail??
(only if your friend doesn't mind, ofc)

[Mermaid Dottie]

I'll definitely post pics, before I give it to him. I'm probably going to post pictures from faire when it's all over. ^_^

[Ariel-Starfish]

I'm so stoked, the fin will be here tomorrow, so I'm already working on the pattern.
