This tail is now reserved for Fifi Tigg!
If you are interested in having your tail painted in this style, please message me! ^-^


Yes, I am selling my red tail! As I am getting my Merbella tail very soon, I have no more need for this tail, plus, it doesn't quite fit me right! ( A few sewing errors, I've learned since then! )

This tail would make a lovely project or starter tail. It's made from neoprene and is hand painted. Aaaaaall of it. All of it. Each. Scale. Two weeks of painting. XD

ANYWAYS. I'm terrible at this. Haha

I am asking for $100 (+$10 for S&H) for this tail as a lot of work and time was put into making it.

I will only ship internationally if you cover the shipping, otherwise only looking to ship in the USA.


THERE IS NO MONOFIN INCLUDED


*AHEM* Sorry, wanted to get that out there. While I have no use for this tail, I do still need the monofin.

The measurements for the tail are as follows:

Length (From top of tail to my heels) - 36.5"

Ankles - 18"

Mid calves - 22.5"

Knees - 23.5"

Mid-Thighs - 40"

Butt - 40"

"Waist" (Upper most part of the tail) - 36"

Mind you, it does NOT come to my waist. This tail comes to my hips and is therefore too short for me. :-( I would love for it to go to a nice home with a mer that can appreciate it.

It has been used for the following:

1 Convention (About 2 days of pool swimming at about 4ish hours each day)
1 Photo shoot at the beach (It did sustain a few "injuries" from that shoot due to sharp rocks, but nothing structural)
1 leisure swim that lasted all of maybe 20 minutes.

Then, I've taken it out to show people and have put it on dry maybe twice.

So, all in all, it isn't a heavily used tail and could easily last you for a while. :-)

I'll add more pictures in reply to this post ( Though, if you go to my page, you can see plenty of pictures of me in it! The link is in my signature! )

I will take it if the postage is cheap! I'm collecting a lot of tails for my Busselton Mermaids business :)

It sounds like it would fit me, but I'm in the middle of making my silicone tail! I hope that perhaps Fifi can fins a way to snap that up. Wonderful job painting it! I love the depth on the scales!

Thanks Pearlie! I may start offering tail painting. I'm no comfortable with my sewing skills just yet and my machine is broken. I have no idea how to fix it.

Fifi, I will look into postage for you and get back! :-)
