Clever! I love the tentacles!
So cute! I've never seen a jellyfish inspired top, that's lovely :D
Btw, I must ask for you all that where on ocean have you found that beautiful netting made of that cotton-like string? I haven't found them anywhere from Finland, even though fishing is quite popular hobby or profession here... Like yeah, we have that thin, plastic net and I even have tried that but omg it is a pain in the ass... And it can be used only as a decoration cause otherwise it really can go trough skin :eek:
So if you have any kinds of web pages or anything which also ships world wide, share them with me please <3 :D
I have begun making neoprene sea animals for embellishing tops, tails - wherever! These and other items can be found in my Etsy shop, Mermaid Galene's Grotto. See the classified section here on MerNetwork for more info. Here's my prototype: a Blue-ringed Octopus named Octavia. I wore her, to the delight of lots of children, at our New Year's Eve waterpark gig.

In the next few months, I will be adding more realistic neoprene animals: other octopus species, rays, sea turtles, and eels. Down the road I will also be listing faerie products - perhaps even a neoprene dragon or two!
Here's my top, its made with scales, bikini top, and ballet tights.

The other stuff I'm wearing is my walking around mermaid skirt/dress.
Beautiful, Enora!

Wow i love the octopus, it's very funny ^^
So I decided to repaint a bra I made last year. I need a top to match a sparkle walking tail I made and I had two pretty turquoise shells, and was going to make a brand new top, but decided to just sell those sells and repaint my other and add glitter

**Currently working on a White Abalone shell top :)
Great before and after! I liked the top before but wow I love the addition of the glitter and the beads or pearls. :D
those are beautiful!
What did you use to paint the shells Shimmy? I was told to use acrylic paint, but that didn't last long at shells and was scratched off very easily :-(
That is what I used. Mostly Metallic paints. I also used some Lumiere on some other shells. I added a glitter coat and could probably spray them with a clear coat. I did have one shell chip on the edge, but b/c I banged the shell so I just painted over it. I havn't had any problems yet with paint chipping or flaking. I am pretty careful with all my costumes
Just painted this one for my daughter yesterday...going to make her a pink shell top to match her Fin fun tailQuote:

Thanks Arion! I have thought about it. :) Its just so much work..LOL and I ended up liking them all
Been resting for the past 2 days due to a migraine and cramps and feel shitty, but needed to do something today. So I grabbed my heating pad and put on some scary movies and decided to make my daughter a new mermaid top to match her pink Fin Fun tail :) Still want to add some pink pearls, but overall it is mostly done. Cannot wait until the weather warms up and can do a photoshoot with it.

Very pretty I love the bright pink with the green plants!
I just got over a sore throat today. Seems like many mers are getting sick/not feeling well! Get well soon!
I finished my two little mini mermaid tops and got better pics today, so wanted to share :) I have one more in the works
