Lorelei's First Silicone Tail Attempt!

SO EXCITED FOR PICTURES! You're killing me with the suspense over here Lorelei!

Hahaha, sorry about that Iona. I'm not trying to! Every time I try to take pictures, I get sidetracked. :P

Floppy!!!!

Those colors are awesome! I can't wait to see the whole thing altogether. Although now I'm craving fruit roll-ups and fruit-by-the-foot...

Here's a quick video of my fluke's swim test. It was awesome!

It's beautiful! The way it flows is lovely :) It will look wonderful on the finished piece!!

Your fin looks great! I can't wait to see the finished tail!

nice job :)

Holy crap it's awesome! I like that it's kinda floppy, but it looks like you get good propulsion from it.

:> Thanks guys.

Funny thing is, there are no straps on my monofin, so I had to swim very slowly to keep the fin on across the pool. (The tightness of the tail will hold my feet inside the monofin later on.) With the straps on, I can FLY in this monofin.

it's looking fantastic! Way ta go! can't wait for more!!

looks lovely in the water, so fluid and real! <3

LOOKS SO COOL omg I am soooo proud of yooou!

WOW :yay::yay::yay: it looks great.

Thank you all so much for the encouragement and compliments. It means a lot to me. :> And I am still working hard on my tail. I'm just stuck working on the seams right now and man do they take forever to do well.

I promise I'm still working on my tail! I'm just going slow is all. :> I'd rather take my time and get it exactly how I want it than attack it quickly and turn out not liking it. So yeah, I promise I'll post more updates as soon as I can.

I'm all atwitter with anticipation! It looks like it's going to be colorful, bright and beautiful!

Ha, that's my problem. I always get overexcited and try and do the whole thing asap. I can admire your patience.
