Hi everyone!
We have been extremely swamped lately and we sincerely apologize for the silence. It's Summer time and things always get the busiest for us this time of year. We have been traveling a lot the last two months for work and haven't had a moment to catch up on emails and updates. I understand everyone is getting anxious but I promise we are working on getting back to everyone now, please be patient with us! heart emoticon
Also, we have received several order inquiri...es that we have not been able to accept just yet. If you have been emailing with no response (over the last few months) we are just not able to accept the order right now while we catch up and focus on all the deadlines currently scheduled. We will have a few pre made sets up for sale over the next couple months and of course, returning Merbella clients are always a priority but we are taking less custom orders this year.
Im excited about the projects we've been working on and will share when I can:)
Check out this stunning photo of Santana Cosplay in her new Merbella! She has a few other beautiful mermaid photos on her page please check her out and show her some love

"Never more"
That new tail is so pretty!

I am now on day 468 since I have ordered my tail and I still do not have a sketch or any update from Raven or Tyler. I've also had to postpone my wedding for another year as I will not have time to set anything up this season. I've send Raven a message and I hope to hear something soon. Needless to say, I'm quite sad.
I'm so sorry to hear that, Little Orca. :(

I'm so sorry Little Orca!
I certainly hope you receive a reply. :(
But I do love that new tail!
Hang in there Little Orca, really sorry to hear that :(
Totally agree, that pink is going to look gorgeous in the water!Quote:

Yeah she started working on those because of me. I asked for them in my tail (I was trying to keep it a secret but since she's posted a video anyway) the ones shown are not my tail by the way, I'm assuming a personal tail experiment maybe or something like that.

What video?
On her personal page.

Speaking of color changing scales she just posted a video of it on her merbella page lol

it's so crazy! all the colour change things I've seen so far consist of needing to use cold or heat but this doesnt appear to. I know Raven frequently experiments with new materials and tries things before they hit market so I wonder if this is one of her concoctions? I clearly havent been able to pin her down to ask haha
Well I've seen the technique in both a mer tailor tail and a lot of pearlie's scales before.

Those scales are gorgeous! I know Pearlie has been using those pigments for a long time now. Hers were the first I've ever seen with them. Just fyi. I know what they are but I can't tell :p
This wouldn't need temperature change because it's just a duochrome pigment - so it reflects different colours from different angles rather than actually changing from one colour to another.Quote:

I am so glad to see Raven's color changing is different from the others I have been seeing. Her method is more of what I was hoping to see in a color changing tail. This is all very exciting I had better start swimming more and saving up money!
Yeah I agree - it's really pretty and a bit more like real iridescent scales.Quote:

I'm using the same for my new tail in green, gold and red. They're not real colors as they show only when the light hits them but they are really lovely :)
Also Nim freshwater used them for her tail (which she never finished)
That does look gorgeous. ❤️
It looks like the same type of pigment Pearlie uses. I think I know what it is! (If not, I have some very similar pigments that give the same effect!)
I've never seen a tail that changes colour depending on temperature, but that would absolutely rock! A tail that changes colour if you're going from warm dry land into cooler water would be amazing. I'd love to see that!
Also, I love that pink tail. I don't often do pink, but that vibrant deep pink is stunning, and the black really sets it off beautifully. Raven definitely goes beyond 'tail maker' and is a true 'tail artist'. I love her work.

yes you made that abundantly clear with your comments on facebook.Quote:

i think it's really sad the amount of snark that came out of Raven posting a quick behind the scenes video of working on a tail. And how quick people are to jump to assign their own meaning to a fairly innocent post. left me really disappointed in a lot of people. Glad the comments were removed both from her Merbella's page, and Pearlie's initial post. (context for people who didn't see, a few snarky comments were made on Pearlie's posting about her technique, in reply to raven, which then carried over to some not so nice comments being left on raven's video, all of it 100% unnecessary)
Let's just drop it, okay?
I saw in the Facebook comments under the video of the iridescent tail that Raven saidThat would be sooo awesome! :)Quote:
"This tail MIGHT be one of the pre-made sets to be listed here."
For those who follow me on FB, I did get my sketches from Raven. She sent me a few of them and I picked my most favorite of the group. No work on production yet, but it is nice to have a small picture in my phone to help me keep going. Things have been hard, and the last two weeks have sucked for health: massive infection, concussion, then I got in a car accident last night. Having this little picture of a tail is the light in the darkness that I needed.
I can't share it, since I dont have permission to, and I think it might be more fun for it to be a surprise for everyone later.
That's great that you have that at least :) All the best with getting better.

Great news that you've got your sketch, though. I'm sure your tail will be worth the wait. [emoji4]
