Am New Here! Wanted to say Hi

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

Hey all, Just joined this fabulous site as I have been stalking here for ages and finally decided to join so I can see all the wonderful pics of your tails.

I don't have a tail yet but am really hoping to be able to afford a FinFolk Productions tail in the future as I just love what they do with the tails however I have also never swam in a mermaid tail before but was always doing a dolphin swim as a kid and adore the water though unfortunately I can't get access to water much to swim in.

I am a big fantasy lover and I have recently found out about mermaid tails and it looks like so much fun.

In the meantime since I won't be affording a tail anytime soon I will just keep admiring all your beautiful silicone tails.

I also love beading and making jewellery and hope to set something up on etsy sometime but for now it will just be delicate beaded jewellery and hopefully down the track I can go to some fantasy based headpieces with mostly beading and some fabric etc. That is my aim anyway.

Look forward to getting to know people here and am so glad to have found such a wonderful site.

Gosh, so many newcomers recently! Welcome! :D

If you can't afford a tail, you could consider buying a simple monofin? Depending on where you live there are some awesome ones around for less than $100 :)
You could post some of your jewellery in the classifieds on here, if you'd like to try selling any of it through us :) I know I for one am always hunting for new mermaid jewellery!

Hey Mermaid Melaina I am from Australia too lol. As for mermaid Jewellery I plan on getting to that in the future right now I am experimenting and learning and drawing designs as I think of it to trial in the future :) But thanks a ton will definitely do that when I get some mermaid jewellery going as I had plans for moving that way in the future :)

So excited to be here and thanks for the idea with the fin will definitely check it out :) thanks a ton!

Oh fantastic, it's always nice to see more Aussie mers :) whereabouts are you?

In terms of monofins available in Aus, there's the Mahina Merfin:

Or, for something a bit cheaper and differently shaped, there's a new design that a fellow posted a kickstarter for a while back:

His kickstarter unfortunately didn't meet its goal but he decided to produce them anyway. You can see the video of them in action here:

I am in Victoria :) And thanks for the links :) Wasn't expecting to come accross another Aussie but its great to find others out there in the world! and will definately look at getting one of those fins when I get the money together thanks!

[Mermaid Kelda]

No problem! There are actually heaps of mermaids in Victoria, so you are not alone! They have meet-ups every once in a while too :)

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

Nice one thanks for the notice only problem is I have small feet lol little problem with finding shoes sometimes and possibly flippers lol :P But thanks sure it will work out in time :)

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

BTW very pretty tail in your profile pic too!

[Mermaid Kelda]

I have tiny feet too! The second set of fins I posted are actually made for children's feet so they'd probably be perfect :) I've already bought one, and when it arrives I'll post a review :)


BTW very pretty tail in your profile pic too!
Thank you! All props to the lovely ladies at Finfolk Productions who made it<3

[Mermaid Silverlilly]

I thought it was Finfolk that made yours I want to save for one from them in the future :) And will definately keep an eye out for your review will be handy to have!
