Same problem here.

My orange tail was inspired by the movie splash and the blue tail was a little combo of the mertailor colors and my own ideas thanks everyone
Raina it's beautiful! That goes for everyone else's tails as well!
Attachment 6571 Here is pic of me in my tail done by mermaid creations by merman jesse in this picture from a photo shoot at merpalooza
My first tail:
Neat! Now which direction is the pool? Mermaids dry out away from water, you see.
Very nice Gosalyn :) Loved it at the meet up.
This is a silly picture of me trying to look evil (does it work? haha! I think I look more like I'm in pain! XD ) in my black tail.
I sewed/painted it in one night in a rush, because my pink one was getting a bit old ><;
Nice paint work Mizuko. What type of paint is it?
Lumiere fabric paint! ^_^ It was actually all I had left over from my pink tail, so I just used the gold and white and it turned out nice! ^_^
Amazing.

Oooh! love the color of your tail :D
Firemaid that's an amazing paint job
Yay! Thanks guys! Ya'll so sweet.
Wow, scrolling through this thread is awesome! It's a great eye opener for all the different materials and it's fun to see who different mers express themselves with the colors/patterns/designs they choose =D Thanks for sharing, everyone!

Hopefully a good design for me new silicone tail
I'm hoping so, I sent her the drawing and said "sorry about the crappy drawing" and she was like so shock that it htought it was crappy. She's going to work on it a little tho....as long as it is pink and orange its ok...
and i dont like pink either but for some reason my mer-self likes it
My tail that I will be making for myself when I have the means and funds. Attachment 7046

I wanted to post my work-in-progress Jesse (Mermaid Creations) tail. I'm so excited I'm about ready to burst. I should have it by Halloween and I will post a full review and updated pictures then. But here's what the tail looks like so far! The concept for the tail was something Ursula themed. It will have heel fins on the back too. I'm hoping to get plenty of octopus style accessories to go with it (I have a pair of earrings on the way!). Waiting for your first silicone tail is killer! I keep counting the days!

Ursula themed? Wow, what a brilliant idea. Maybe you should have ordered tentacles instead of a fluke ;-) I wonder if anyone ever can create Ursula tentacles of silicone...
Mer Adella, that tail is SO gorgeous. I LOVE it. The way the fluke is in the water is so gorgeous.
The silicone is pigmented. The only fabric in the tail is a mono fin sock which covers the blade to protect the silicone from the fin. Once I get the tail put together, I will be giving it a bath to get the mold release off the silicone, then give it the slimy look.
Hope to have this tail finished by Monday!
