Thank you! I've devised an insert along same lines, but my monofins footplate goes all the way to the backs of your heels, so I still get some of that protrusion. More engineering!
Thanks!

I'm definitely interested in prints. That was an amazing photo.
Do you think there's a way to do this with a fabric tail? I'm building my own fabric tail sometime soon and I hate the heel thing, so I was hoping I could hide it somehow :)Quote:

Unless, there is no way to point them forward?
I've been watching this thread for a while now but have never commented before - Nim, your tail is pure magic, and your heel modification is genius! Beautiful, beautiful.
Hi everyone! Thank you for your kind and interesting comments! <3 I'll do my best to answer all the questions shortly :)
Life as a mermaid is awesome! :dance:

Thanks Sirenalia for an unforgettable experience

WONDERFUL.. gosh
and honestly, I prefer much more the "raw" underwater pictures, (the one everyone wants as a print, specifically ^^ ) I know photographers wanna bring out all the colors and things with post alterations, but for me it takes away the ghosty underwater feeling and lights, in many case atleast - still cant wait to see the final one,s tough ^^
Go for it Pearlie! <3
Thanks Slim and Salty <3
And, you know I think I agree with you Livou :)

For a very cheap method, get some large soft cleaning sponges stitch and glue them together and cut them into the shapes you need. That gives you a much lighter alternative which doesn't mess up your tail's shape. Oh, and yes, you can still point your feet any direction you choose, though you will feel a little resistance. I hope this helps a little and feel free to post or msg me again if further questions arise.
