Also, RayeBlonde, your tail is just so gorgeous. <3 Mertailor has really stepped up the tailmaking! Have you gotten the monofin issue worked out?

Thanks Claire and Emma. ^___^
I love it but I can't wait for my new tail.
Nope, it's still too small for me ://
My feet actually have giant cuts on the top lol.
Like I said Claire, that is a DAMN good tail for you making it your first time.
You hid the seam with the dorsal fin, correct?

Love the bad mermaid shoot haha so awesome.

Thanks again Krystal !

Rayeblonde, which color will be your new tail ?
The dorsal fin hide a zip :) I think it's much more convenient having a zip to wear a tail ! The bad point is I need help to close it ^^

Photoshoot looks great

I didn't even know you could use a zipper on a silicone tail. Is it pure silicone? Or does your tail have a backing on it behind the silicone? I just don't know about a zipper because of the possibility of it breaking.

I'm not sure which color yet I can't decide. :/

I have spandex behind the silicone, my zip is sewn to spandex and silicone and seams are reinforced with more silicone ! For now it works ^^

The glue i used isnt waterproof (although the makeup seller claimed it was) Its Mehron brand, most of my special FX makeup products are either from them or Ben Nye, they make the best and most affordable special FX supplies.
The best way to wear a wig underwater is to braid your hair (like in corn rows) and pin the wig onto your braids OR use a silicon swim cap and punch holes into it using hair pins to pin the wig onto it. Basically you need an anchor for allot of pins to keep the wig on. In most of my underwater shoots I have used extensions, i definately recomend using clip ons over a wig, less of a hastle.

Cant wait to see your pics!

I wonder... could you use a swimcap and coat it in e600 while it's on and carefully apply the wig over the top (i'd braid all the hair up out of the way)?

OMG rayeblonde I am just BEYOND jealous of your tail.

So we took some photos of Mermaid Mimi today... :D

Just had a mermaid sighting with Courtney Mermaid yesterday and this is one of the photos she took. I'm super excited to see the rest, since this one turned out gorgeous!

Finally got some non-pool pics in my tail!! These were taken at/near the Fairy Pools on the Isle of Skye in Scotland :)

The two middle ones are small and crappy to avoid stretching the page a bunch--please view them in full and 4 other pictures here!!

It was super cold, but definitely worth it! I made a makeshift monofin out of craft foam, duct tape, and flip flops to use for the shoot instead of buying a new one and having it shipped :)

EDIT: Oh, it did a weird thing with sizing anyway?? Maybe because I didn't have them "referenced locally" because that just gave me a whole bunch of problems : / Anyway, click the link for the nice bigger images :)

GORGEOUS! I love your tail so much!

So pretty Jade!! <3

Thanks!! I'm really happy with how they turned out. It was my first time trying to sort of model in it, haha. I need to figure out poses to do in it ahead of time for the next time...

You have such a pretty smile! And your tails' colors just go together so well. SO pretty! <3

I find it pleasantly surprising that there is this HUGE, disproportionate percentage of beautiful people in this community :group hug:

Yay! Thank you! I have some more on my FB page, www.facebook.com/mermaidharmony I'm super excited about them all!

Beautiful, Harmony! <3

I need to figure out how to put my pics up here. =.=
