To tell you the truth, I didn't even think I was getting any bubble rings while I was there!! It was only when I watched the videos later that I was like "OH MY GOD IT *WAS* WORKING!" I thought I'd gotten some, but my friend with the camera said she didn't think I'd quite gotten them at the time (though I did!). Honestly, I think what it came down to was just being able to let my air out in one bubble. Any time any other bubbles slipped out they just got in the way of each other. swimming on my back and just letting one out seemed to do the trick, it sort of went ring-shaped on its own.Quote:

I spent a lot of time looking at photos of other mermaids and memorizing their positions to help myself with that. Next time I'm gonna show them to whoever's photographing me as well, so they get an idea of the kinds of shots I want as well. I think that's probably the best way to do it with a photographer inexperienced in taking pictures of mers :)
And another photo... I look so disgruntled!! I wasn't really, I was just talking to my photographer friend and just look grumpy by chance :)

Spottedcatfish--oh no! The broken ankle sounds like a real bummer :( Wishing you a speedy recovery!!
If the velvet is two way stretch, make the stretch go side to side and make an eight inch panel down the length in the back with the stretch going top to bottom. Does that make sense?Quote:

Did a photoshoot with one of my sisters and her friend the other night, it was tons of fun :) Basically we used anything and everything we could find in the basement for costumes and props. I think I had as much fun editing these as I did doing the shoot!
My sister did my makeup, and her friend took the photos. Sorry some are so grainy, the basement lighting wasn't very good.

Hi folks! This was a photoshoot I did back in fall with Morticia Mermaid to model her creations - Almost everything I'm wearing is by her, as well as the makeup! <3 This was the first time I felt like a "real mermaid", LOL!

Attachment 17385 Here is a little merling I photographed the other day such a little cutie :)
She's soooo cute!! She is going to treasure the pictures you took of her! Someday, I bet she will show her own children that picture and tell them all about how she was a mermaid! :)Quote:
