Nice job Mizuko!!! you look very elegant and the colors are very soft and beautiful!!!
Thank you so much everyone! :D Its been quite a journey! I really appreciate all your kind words, it makes me feel even prouder that other people like it too! ^__^
I got a very cheep bra from my local Target store- it is actually a cup size too small!! haha! They didn't have any in my size so I went a size down, and it probably looks like a pushup bra now! haha! XDQuote:

This tail is just lovely! :) it really does fit your personality so well! You're such a natural underwater. I love watching your videos!
How do you like a full silicone tail vs. your silicone/neoprene lined tail? Is there a big difference with swimming?
You were born to swim in a tail! You look so natural and the color choices are perfect for your coloring! Simply stunning! Congratulations!
I would say the main difference beside the size of the monofins would be the buoyancy :) I never really noticed the buoyancy of my neoprene-lined tail until I swam in this full silicone one! Its not a huge difference, but its much easier to float on my back in my neoprene one! Once I get to a certain depth (I think its about 8-10ft) I dont notice the difference between the two buoyancy-wize, I think due to pressure (and I think I'm naturally neutrally buoyant at that depth too). The bigger monofin is greattttt. haha! It will be good for ocean swimming when the currents are up- having said that, my Merbellas tail held up pretty well in the ocean with currents too, but that might be because I am used to swimming in rough seas. I am losing propulsion with the bigger monofin, though, because the foot pockets are too big! XD I'm going to buy some neoprene booties and stuff the pockets with some plastic cut from buckets (my freediving instructor told me that, haha!). It will mean I wont lose so much propulsion anymore :)
Now that I've seen you in tail (MARVELOUS, by the way), I wanted to tell you that you look EXACTLY like your avatar/Logo. XD <3
I also ADORE those hip fins. You look like a type of Mer-fairy.
Or possibly a much prettier version of a barbie mermaid.
Wow!!! stunning my dear
Your tail is so lovely! Great job Mermaid Mizuko :D
JUST AMAZING! :swoon:
I am also blown away by how gorgeous it is! The colors are fantastic and look so "right" on you. You're a very talented, beautiful woman!
Mizuko I think I just found your perfect shoot location for this tail!! I was looking at some photography pages and saw this...
Attachment 17555
Rainbow Beach, southeastern Queensland
Thank you so much everyone! ^__^ I'm blown away at the response I've gotten!! Thank you <3 Its far from perfect but I learnt SO much making it; I know my next one will be even better! :D
Lilium, OH MAH GAWD. <3 haha! It looks perfect!! XD I might be heading up to Queensland at the end of this year, but we are going North... maybe I could do a quick stop off South? hehe!
I'm actually off to Phuket in two weeks for my big sisters wedding... and I'm taking my tail!! I just purchased a monofin bag, which, although my tail might be a little squished, should get it safely on the plane and back! :D I'm planning on visiting the reefs in it- and my parents are all too keen to take some photos/footage while I'm there! (I'm very lucky to have a supportive family). I CANT WAIT! <3
Mizuko, if you stop off south, invite me! :rollover:
Yes, I totally will! :D I wish I could do a "mermaid road trip" and visit everyone around Australia! How fun would that be?! :D :D
It'd be awesome. If only!
Im working on my own silicone tail but stuck at how to seem the two scale sheets together would you be ever so kind and show me how you did yours!? :(
do eeeeet! hehe if I ever get over to aus to visit my cousins, I'm so doing a trip around the country so maybe I'll have to kidnapp you for a shoot at this beach heheQuote:
