eeeeeeee!!! That's MY tail! heheh. AND it's soOOoo neat that Dan and Marlin thought of a Mantis Shrimp because that was in with the slew of other "inspiration" photos I gave them!!!! Along with a rather long list of details too - and I think they totally nailed ALL of them! Plus FEATHERS.....I basically wanted a Mantis Crow Mermaid I guess. ha. <3
So super giddy that yall pointed that out - adding to the giddiness of my new tail too. I think I'm gunna faint! Picking it up tomorrooooww! AHH!
When I think of feathers and the sea, the sea pen comes to mind:

Followed shortly thereafter by the barnacle goose, a bird that legend says was born from bits of driftwood.
Your tail is absolutely stunning! :)
We MUST have video and more pictures as soon as you get it!

I might be selling my tail as well. I've been thinking of selling my merbellas tail for a finfolk tail lately. I feel like finfolk is on the same tier as merbellas as far as quality goes, and I like the fluke designs that finfolk offers. I honestly feel sort of bored with my merbellas tail, I'd like a new fluke design and a new color scheme. I used to dream about making silicone tails, but finfolk has actually done just about every shape I've come up with. So I feel like I should follow my heart and get one of their tails.
Seriously Aylah? But your tail is one of the best flowy tails that Raven made! :(Quote:

It's nice to hear from you. It's not every day that we get to see a post from you. How you doing lately? :)

I'd love to ask Raven to do a new paint job on my tail, but I'm extremely strapped for cash (actually in the red) and can't afford shipping to and from her shop. Finfolk is based just a couple of hours away from Duluth and I have many friends who live in that area who can help transport the tail for me so I don't have to pay shipping. Also, one other person mentioned that since Finfolk is so close to where I live, I can probably go in for a personal appointment and design my tail with them. This of course isn't final, and the whole thing depends on if and when I can sell my current tail, and how soon a new tail can be ready, but I just wanted to see how everyone else feels about it. And maybe if anyone would be interested in buying my merbellas tail.
Have you talked to Raina? Perhaps I'm wrong but I think she's looking for tails for her mermaid business. You could PM her about your Merbella tail being on sale so you can order a Finfolk one.Quote:

I've been away from mernetwork so long that I didn't even know that. Guess that's what happens when you don't have internet. :P I'll send her a PM.
OMG Ayla! I've been drooling over your tail ever since I first saw it on youtube! It's beautiful!
I would more than love to buy it but (don't get too excited) yeah you figured, no money atm for tails... If I had the money I would be a tail horder. When I'm old and rich I will be a tail horder. For real.
Just spoke to the shipping company over the phone - customs finally released my tail 8 minutes ago and I'll be getting it tomorrow! :D
Hooray!

I know right? It's a pity there aren't more tail makers in Australia, because if I ever get another tail it is not coming from overseas. Customs really gave me the runaround with this :\

Sure! I went by the width of the tail itself because I've gained weight since I got it and it doesn't fit quite right anymore.Quote:

These measurements may not be completely accurate, but if you're 5'3" or shorter, it should fit.
Ugh, so my tail didn't end up coming today. I called DHL and they said it was still at the warehouse. They couldn't tell me why it hadn't been picked up for delivery :\
So I'm going to go pick it up from the warehouse tomorrow morning. So disappointing, but at least they're open tomorrow so I don't have to wait till Monday.
Don't forget to take pictures! ;)Quote:
