Hi Forum and Merfolks,

I just joined a couple of days ago this forum. After research works i found this forum very helpful and full with good information about the theme.
Me done that to find out more about making such Mermaid Tails in various ways.
Myself is a Professional and Freelance Mascot Maker - so I'm not far from the thematic away.
I done so far more the 500 costumes and other works in the business.
Okay that enough with facts.

Do I have a Mermaid Tail - No - I like to create a couple that other wears - for me is the work the challenging part in that.
Do you used a Monofin - Yes I have a Dolphin Fin here and a Finis - used to swim in the lakes here with it - but now I hardly can do that anymore - I had in a night 1 year ago a Lungstroke and 1/3 of my Lung is basically dead. So I only can keep the breath 10 sek. underwater.
Do you want to try a Mermaid Tail - Maybe onces but then with scubadive equipment.
Do you like the Ocean - Yes I like the coast and the scenery - My popular spots for Holidays are - Canary Islands (Lanzarote and Fuerteventura), Australia (Byron Bay, Perth, Gold Coast)
Would you like to move once to the Coast - Yeah onces I will do that but currently stuck with the business in mid of Europe. The only mermaid spot wee have here so far is the Loreley Rock at the Rhine(120kmnorth)

Okay so far so good.

Looking forward

Greets

Wilkommen zu MerNetwork, Atalon! I am glad that you are finding lots of useful information here! :)

Who are the two little guys in your avatar? I assume they are some of the Mascots you have made, but what are their names and where are they from?

Welcome! I hope you share photos of some of your costumes! There is SO much information here about making tails and everyone is very helpful and friendly.

As for swimming in a tail, you could always swim on the surface with a boogie board or other float - I do it all the time on the lake where I live!

Hi Echinacea (http://mernetwork.com/index/member.php?2588-Echinacea),

Thats two MLP (My little Pony ) Costumes i done two years ago - the Yellow one is "Canni Galacon" The Convention Mascot of the European MLP Con. the other is my MLP OC for the cons.
