I've been making a lot of stuff lately and I was wondering if anyone would be interested in some mid price range silicone tops or in naiad feet. 85 for a top 400 for feet.

I'm having trouble uploading pics on here, a lot of my pieces are on IG @hawaiianmerman

I don't want to make the mistake of taking too many orders if there's interest so I'll only be making one piece at a time.

What are naiad feet?

Don't know but it sounds interesting?

Coradion, are naiad feet like separate flippers that you made to look like fish feet?

Oh, just googled it... Looks pretty nice.

Figured since people were asking, I'd post the link to the flippers/naiad feet for everyone.

I want to see what kind of tops you can make.

Oh man I may have to order a pair of those feet from you in the future... The photo in which you're wearing one in a little pond just kind of sold me <3

I'm in the market for a star fish top, if you're taking requests...

I can start experimenting with starfish and with shell tops, I only have a mold for scale tops right now though.

I like the first top but without the strings... Can you do that? Just make it big enough for all sizes so we can glue it to our fave bra style?

Coradion

I can also do tail makeovers, I repainted Harmony's fishbutt.

Yep, if you just want an airbrushed scale sheet I can send it to you with whatever dimensions you like and you can stick it on your favorite top.

Airbrushed? You don't mix the color into wet material that you're using?

I tint the silicone then I airbrush it with silicone paints

I love Merbella's bracers but would never be able to afford one so I made a smaller version to test out on a friend!

I loved the Naiad in Grimm so I decided to try and make feet like they had.

Is there any design other people are interested in? I've been asked to make starfish and shell silicone tops which I'm working on now, but is there anything else?

Naiad gloves, to make creepy water-dwelling hands? I dunno, those feet just make me want to dive into a Waterhouse painting, LOL! So now I just think of things like giant lily pads to stick on the head, and other freshwater things, haha!

You're looking good! Also I'd love to own a pair of these "Naiad Feet". Can you post a video of them in action? Also are the fins made from Dragonskin silicone??

something like this but in flesh colored silicone! I don't know if it is possible

I'd like to see the gloves in colours to match the feet (in my case, murky freshwater colours), with either flesh tone or clear where the fingers are (so the murky colours are between the fingers only)

Totally doable, so I have a pair of those same silicone gloves posted, I can paint them to match the feet.

Sure thing, I think I have an old video. They swim like regular dive fins just a little flexier. I put a pair of trimmed dive fins inside them and they are made from platinum cure silicone. Not necessarily the dragon skin brand but there's a similar one plat-sil gel 10 that ships slightly cheaper to Hawai'i that I usually use. I've used both and I honestly can't see much of a difference between them other than the plat-sil pours a bit easier.

Do you sell scale arm braces? :) if so how much would you ask for them? Totally in love with the ones you're wearing on the previous page!

Yeah, the full bracer like Mermaid Harmony's are $85 a pair, the bracelets are three to five scales long and $35 for one.

Here's a repost of a video I took of Harmony, she's swimming in her fish butt I repainted and has on a pair of the full bracers, I can do any colors you want in any pattern you like. I have a lot of bracelets and things I make from leftover scale material that are just like $20, those are whatever size I have enough scales to make and whatever color the original piece was.

Her full bracers are approx eight to nine inches long.

OMG I love Grimm it is by far one of my favourite shows on TV and I would love some webbed gloves so my hands could look like the Niads do. Because I always been into the idea that mermaids would be very fish like and a would look just a little bit creepy.

I'll paint some soon, I've had a lot of people ask for silicone shell and starfish tops so I'll do that next. Here's a simple scale top for sale now.

What's your preference? Seaweed behind the shells, just shells, or something else covering the bikini where the shells don't?

Moongazer

Wow! Do you have a store? haha.

Seaweed behind shells is my preference.

Uhh... YES! We have an active pod of around 20 mers with new ones coming and going all the time. Our last mer swim which was last minute scheduling still had 7 people show up.

And here's my ETSY
