I can't believe how beautiful the pearl one is. They're all beautiful, though! I think I'm the least keen on D; it's very similar to E, which I think is a nicer colour. I can't think of any colours I want to add, though :)

They're so sparkly :O :D

Looks great <3

Melaina, your tape mannequin arrived today! WOOHOOO! :yay:

HOORAY! All on my end is complete! Now I sit back and let you work your magic xD

I do hope I did it correctly!

Can't wait to see this!

So I did some sketching, and...
...How many fins is too many fins? xD

Just testing placement out, really. I don't want to be all fin. I do quite like the fins on the second one; the first is a bit too "faerie" for how I want this tail to look (though maybe it wouldn't be, with all the opal colours? Or just with fewer fins!)

I drew some massive heel fins and thought "ahaha these are too big" "no wait, these are okay..." "ahh man these are rockin~"

I don't know how well they'd translate to real-life/swimming ability but I think they look pretty :3

I'm blocking in the clay for your fluke to get an idea of what it will look like in 3D...how do you feel about the four diamond shapes being faceted like gemstones?

I feel very strongly. Yes, ja, hai, si, oui.

I take it you want that, then? ;)

Aaaabsolutely :D

I'll be sending you some photos later this evening...I'm pinning scales to your mannequin and I am going to need your input.

Your tail will be ready before you know it! :mermaid kiss:

Eeeee! I'm buzzing!

Here's an unlisted video of the layout of your tail, Kelda, just to get an idea of the direction...it's not set in stone and can be changed any way you like. You let me know if you like it,

Also, I have more I am pinning on tonight. I would have sent it earlier, but I had to fix the laser cutter at work and it took all day!


This is in the dark room light of my living room, I will get daylight shots on the weekend. Photos to come under separate cover!

What do you think? (The dorsal side is really dark in the video, but there are a lot of colors... you'll see in the photos shortly!

I await the photos with baited breath!

Oh my stars and garters!
Your work is so amazing! This is already so cool, it will be simply incredible when it is done.

I sent a couple of cellphone pics to your email address!
