Somewhere in the middle of patterning my first tail tonight, I thought to myself... "I'd better make sure I know where the experts are in case I royally @#$%& this up."

I had heard of the MerNetwork and thought it was high time to join. :)

My name's Roxanna, I'm a cosplayer out of Northern California. I've been cosplaying for 6 years (that's me in my avatar, as Aquaman) and a mermaid fan my whole life, but only recently did I decide to dive in to actually making a tail. A couple of people are responsible for that, but mainly The Mermaid Atlantis, who's a friend and who has been very encouraging!

Anyway, I'm in the process of making my first tail out of lycra, (with a fin from Fin Fun, which I like so far as a starter monofin) - after making so many supersuits, I thought this would be a piece of cake. We'll see, of course, if I'm right about that ;).

Looking forward to picking over the forums for tips and tricks!

Thank you, guys :) I'll definitely post tail pictures, perhaps even some progress pics. I'm a fan of fabric tails and want to experiment with different textures and shapes (as opposed to paint) in my designs. We'll see what I end up with ;)

P.S. Raina: Totally a fan of yours!
