Aysun's Midnight Moonstone Tail by Pearlie Mae

[PearlieMae]

Sorry, last night was weird - long story, involves boyfriend - I got a lot of work done, but didn't take photos.

Honestly I can't wait to see this on <3

I look forward to that too.

I know that blue is the most common tail color, but they are not usually so dark.

That and the markings are unusual.

I am glad the first tail I had access to was blue, so I knew it worked so well with my hair and skin...

I had the same kind of thoughts when designing my tail. "I wanna stand out! I'll make a peach tail!" *sees an aqua tail in picture* "nope nope that's what I want. I want blue." Lol I'll just say there's a good reason blue is popular. It's gorgeous.

This is gonna be an amazing tail. Aysun, the wait will totally be worth it! Pearlie has incredible attention to detail!

Also, blue tails are the best. Just sayin'.

That is unfortunate...

This upcoming weekend is the final weekend out at TRF and it is a 3 day weekend.
I will be heading out on Thursday night to get to faire for Celtic Christmas weekend on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.
Then after breakdown I will be home sometime mid to late next week...

Aysun, I truly hope the wait is going to be worth it! I can't wait to see you swim in it!

Thank you, everyone! I could not have done this without everyone's encouragement! The Mernetwork community is so wonderful and supportive and helpful!

Of course, all I can think of right now is that there is going to be something terribly wrong with it, did I think of everything, is everything finished, will it fit, will it break, will she love it... :gah:


So, unitl I see Aysun wearing it, I am going to rest up, and clean my house and studio this weekend. I learned so much from making this second "Pearlie Method" individual scale tail!

[Mermaid Alea]

:swoon:

Each element is beautiful on its own, but when put together...WOW. Like seriously just one PearlieMae scale can stand alone and be beautiful. Take one scale from most other tailmakers and it can't be all that beautiful without the other parts of the tail.

I don't think Aysun is going to be home to open it for another few days. I think she said later in the week.

Until then, I will worry myself sick wondering if I remembered everything!

She's got a top coming her way, too!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Yeah :(

The 3 day weekend at faire is over, but my boss is slacking and we probably won't breakdown the booth until tomorrow at the earliest... or Wednesday.

And I have had a fever...

[Spindrift]

Out of curiosity, is your boss going to pay you for the time he/she is keeping you there? Because like, if I was paying someone by the hour or something, I would definitely be like "yep, let's wrap this up" hahaha.

[Etela]

Friday? Really? I knew he wanted to wait till Wednesday if it rained but I don't think it has been raining at TRF. That's really annoying. I'm sorry Aysun and I hope Tomas is looking after you and not just being creepy.

[LouLouBelle]

That sounds rubbish. If your boss is keeping you there without a real reason just make sure you spend enough time with him to pass on whatever you've got.

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

My boss only pays us for the time we are physically at the booth and working.

I am not actually sure how he is suppose to pay us for week work when he was not even able to pay us in full for the weekend yet.

Patrick is a dumdum...

(It is funny, he was all weirded out about me being sick and standing away from me and stuff while the manager is trying to get me to finish his (manager's) tea so he can go get coffee)

Yeah, it was suppose to rain Monday, but it did not (but not working Monday was fantastic) and then I have no idea why we did not work yesterday.

The only problem with being close enough to make Patrick sick is being close to Patrick >.>

And Thomas is actually being really sweet and only a little Thomasy.

Major respect points for you, mersis, for not going full siren on them. Lol Sounds really frustrating.

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

I went over to the booth when I was told to be there.

Everyone else showed up late and then my boss started really awkwardly asking my manager why I was there, so I stopped what I was doing and told him that if he wanted me to leave, he just had to say so.

He told me he didn't need me today and /may/ need me tomorrow.

I am really sick of him wasting my life. I have literally nothing to do here except pack up the booth.
You either need me or you don't.

Just pay me for this weekend and let me leave...

[Mermaid Enora]

Woohoo!
It's sooooooooo PRETTY!!!!!

[Dreamie]

We are excited to see your new tail video. I logged back into MerNetwork just to see it. It's beautiful and I love the individually colored scales. I'm glad you're feeling better today after my always sweet husband Thomas took care of you the way he always does for his friends. So when do you get to swim in it? Performance test!!

And OMG bio-luminescence is SICK as F. What kind of bacteria are you going to tell the children is causing it? LOL

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Yaaaaay!

Thomas is a great guy :) I appreciate you two opening your home up to me when I was in need.

It really saved the end of faire for me.

I plan to go swimming at a mermaid meetup on Sunday.

[PearlieMae]

YAY!!! I didn't get to hear it (I'm at work) but the captions were awesome. You are so pretty and your gorgeous hair is so thick! I'm very jealous! Also, your cat is adorable!

I overpacked it, because, like you, I have seen way too many videos of people getting their tails in mangled, tight boxes and I didn't want that to happen to you. Then the warehouse manager packed extra paper to keep it from sliding around (you can recycle all that!).

Did I send you the link about how to fasten your fin straps? I pigmented the silicone on the inside of the tail, too, so you didn't have issues with your bikini bottom showing through, like you said you had with your other tail. I really hope everything fits and that we get to see your first swim!

Happy swimming!!! :mermaid kiss:

[Mermaid Wesley]

so sooo cute. the kitty makes it even better <3

[Mermaid Sabie]

Wow amazing! I love how each scale is different it looks beautiful! Your cat is soo cute too!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

I will say I did the captions for Arion, just in case he watches it.

And then 3% percent for people who want to watch at work.

Bu was so excited about the paper!
(We will probably use it in our woodburner)

You did send me that link! It is a fantastic looking system. It really helped when I was picking up the fluke and manipulating it around. Without smacking myself.

i used the captions too, (because i was supposed to be writing a paper and my dad was yelling at me so i had to have it pretty quiet. lol) it was super considerate of you.

[Mermaid Mystery]

your kitty is sooooo cute! And that tail is so gorgeous beyond belief. all the blues, oh my goodness!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Also, Dreamie has an excellent point!

I am going to do more research on it, but I think I am going to go with:

Coelenterazine.

It is the*luciferin, the light-emitting molecule, found in many aquatic organisms across seven*phyla. Including squid and some fishes.

It fits perfectly in the ankles.

The monofin is so comfortable and light.

It is a touch baggy behind the thighs, but we will see what happens when I swim.

I don't feel it will be overly noticeable when I sit for dry gigs.

It is a little shorter than anticipated, but no mercrack and it is pleasantly snug in the waist.

Again, we will see how that sits when I swim this Sunday.

It suctions to me when I sit down. It is bizarre and cool at the same time.

Bizarre and cool is wonderful praise! :-D

Are you going to share these on Facebook?

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

On my mermaid page? Not these. I am hoping to do a photoshoot in a week or two and would use those. These are a little derpy.

On my personal page?
Yes, I do intend to.

I will make sure to shoot some of the really nice ones your way if you would like to use them.

How did it swim? :yay:

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Well, since I can swim well enough to not die and eventually get from point a to point b...

I should have tightened the straps more, but it fit amd moved well.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

I look forward to hearing more!

When you said it drains slowly, is that out of the water? It didn't balloon up IN the water, did it? A few swims will loosen the drainage channels, the silicone is probably still stuck to the monofin in spots. I can walk you through checking that.

:mermaid kiss:

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Yes ma'am. Out of the water. It was a little hard to get out of the pool in the tail because the fluke would get really heavy, but I would like to give it at least another swim or two before I give my in depth review.

In the few pictures I have seen there was no ballooning in the water.

I absolutely love the way the belly shimmers in the light, just like moonstone.

This tail is so flippin' difficult to photograph properly! [emoji14]

Mine weighs a ton pulling it out of the water, too. I think that might be common. Between the spaces around your feet and between your calves, that could hold a gallon or two...that's almost 15-20 pounds of water right there. But like I said, I can walk you through checking to make sure the drainage channels are open.

I have documentation and a care sheet that I will be sending to you, and I have been refining some sketches for your top based on your design. In the interim, caring for the tail is really easy. Soap and water on a washcloth or body pouf/scrubby inside and out, rinse until the water runs clear. Stuff a couple of small towels into the foot area to absorb the water from the nylon straps for a while, the inside and outside of the tail body, just wipe it dry. If you can prop it open with a pool noodle or two to let air circulate inside, even better. It's really durable and you don't have to worry about scraping any paint off. You can disinfect the inside with Lysol wipes...it will keep the inside nice and pristine.

I'm so glad you like your moonstone belly! And yes, it IS hard to photograph! Welcome to my world!

The way I figure it, you're going to be the one to see the detail more than anyone!

Was the fin easy to get on and off? Comfy? Did you wear socks?

:D

[Kaila Mermaid]

*SCREAMING* THIS IS SO FREAKING AMAZING AND WOW!

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

I use crappy vodka to clean >.>

I did wear fluffy socks. The first strap went on easy and I had to fight the second one, because of course there is less room to work with.

That is just a matter of practice for me though.

I like the way the fin is set up. No pinched toes.

The people at the pool thought it was beautiful.

Enora and her sister practically rubbed their faces on it [emoji14]

Etela thought it was beautiful. I may ask her to chime in on what she thought it looked like in th water.

Lotus and Lunette seemed excited too.

I also made my way across the pool and crawled into the hot tub.

About the top. I am just gonna go ahead and give you full artistic liberties there.

If you want to do pale in the center to a dark outer, all dark, can't make to moons work, rune stone misbehaving, sudden epiphany, anything.

Just do your thing.
I am sure it will be incredible.

Length is good? No gapping? Are you happy?

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

It is a little shorter than I anticipated, but it does cover the vitals.

No waist gap! It fits really well in the waist.

It is loose in the thighs.

Overall I am happy with the tail.

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

What is your opinion on hanging your tails on the wall?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

[PearlieMae]

I think it would be great. I hear bike hooks work well, but I would cover them with pieces of pool noodle to cushion the edges.

I use a stand that I made from pvc pipe, I'll draw it up tomorrow if you like. :)

[Aysun_the_Mermaid]

Awesomeness.

I combed through old threads and found Iona's set up (hooks, pipe insulation, drywall screws) and I think I have just the place on my wall (which is good, because it can't live in the tub forever, and it freaks my cat out when it is on the bathroom floor. Leading to... accidents.)

I appreciate you.

I had to make a stand for mine...no floor space at all, and when I hung it over the shower rod...CRASH!!!!

I once curled up one of my toys into an odd shape and threw it in the back of the car, for the heat and the cold to bother. When I finally pulled it out (I don't remember how long it was there) it bounced right back into its perky self. I really doubt your ankle or fluke tips will be bothered. [emoji4]
