I wanted to post my work-in-progress Jesse (Mermaid Creations) tail. I'm so excited I'm about ready to burst. I should have it by Halloween and I will post a full review and updated pictures then. But here's what the tail looks like so far! The concept for the tail was something Ursula themed. It will have heel fins on the back too. I'm hoping to get plenty of octopus style accessories to go with it (I have a pair of earrings on the way!). Waiting for your first silicone tail is killer! I keep counting the days!

Ursula themed? Wow, what a brilliant idea. Maybe you should have ordered tentacles instead of a fluke ;-) I wonder if anyone ever can create Ursula tentacles of silicone...
Tentacles would be awesome. But I don't think I could swim in them. :) But I'm sure you could create a costume look with silicone tentacles.Quote:

I was actually shocked at how it looked in the water. while swimming you really can't see too much of where the monofin ends. which is good. and the sequins take on a blue/purple hint in the water. which is funny considering i only used pink sequins. THANK YOU :DQuote:
