BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!
Well, I thought I would give you all a quick heads-up...My website is up and I'm offering 10 slots for Pearlie Mae tails! I know I was going to launch it tomorrow, but I wanted you all to have first dibs on spots - if you wanted, that is! Let me know if you have any other questions!

And yes, I offer installment plans to pay off a tail! http://www.pearliemae.net

Almost enough to make me try the lottery... ;) I'm stoked for you, but also for anyone who gets one of your tails.

Yay Pearlie!! \o/

Will there be any new fluke designs, or will that be up to the customer to design?

Yulia, both! I will designing new flukes and fins and will be designing custom flukes as well!

I know they are pricey, but considering the work that goes into them, I really can't do them for less. That's why I have installment plans! :mermaid kiss:

After 11 years as a hearthkeeper, this has me wanting to pick up the job listings. Your work is phenomenal and your pricing quite buyer friendly considering the artistry that goes into your tails. May the who sea be swimming with mers clamoring for your tails.

Been trying the lottery for months!
I've even used tarot, but I'm always 2 or 3 numbers off.
I'm beginning to think tarot isn't as accurate as I used to believe :p

anyway, I'd splurge on one of those tail spots if I could.
My parents, however, would be even less palatable if I bought a tail ("f*cking childish nonsense you do all day") while they are up to their ears in bills and loans they have no money for.

Thank you, everyone! I am so excited to be starting this new chapter!

Monday, I'm going to Smooth-On in Pennsylvania (and taking my tail with me), to talk with the tech reps and take a tour of the plant! :yay:

It's clear, so your fluke could be kind of translucent... Actually, I think the way it dries "clear" (you know, not actually clear) would lend well to the "phantom" effect.

Thanks for posting this! I'm right about to start my first silicone tail and was wondering how to make a translucent fluke, so thanks so much!

Just heading back from a day at Smooth On with owner, Clay Western, spent lunch talking mermaids, new products, and the huge new facilities they are moving into soon!

My tail was a big hit with the staff!

R they going to use your tail in their ads?
Makes a hek of an example! Likely the most complicated silicone item they've ever seen.

Not by a long shot, but that would be cool! I'm a tiny minnow in a huge silicone pond!
