My tail underwater! 😄
Wow, that's gorgeous, Meilyn!
Thank you Galene! It's taken forever! But I've finally gotten the hang of my heavy ass tail and fluke LOL!
Beautiful!!! :jawdrop:
Meilyn.......simply gorgeous. I still covet your tail, lol
You look like a cute little goldfish! So lovely!
wow I love that pink tail!
Meilyn, does that fluke create much drag? I've been curious about its performance!
I have seen may tails in my time and this one is easily one of the best looking tails I have ever seen. Got to hand it to those hard working people at finfolk. The blending of skin to scales is amazing.
It's just gorgeous!, I'm halfway through making my fist, it's taken ages to do the sculpting of the scale sheet but I hope its all worth it, worries too my first try wont meet my expectations of quility but I've done heaps of tests :) Have you made any others?Quote:

I've been able to swim just as fast as Theobromine *i think* when we swam together. compared to fabric and bi-fins, I feel like i swim a lot faster with this tail. The extra fins create a water vortex of their own by the way they're made. Don't know if that helps with anything but it feels fantastic to put my hand behind them and swim lol.Quote:

The fluke with having so much extra silicone is quite heavy compared to others though. It takes a while to get used to but even with it, I don't feel any drag when I swim. It's only being static that I can actually feel it's weight. The tail itself is about 35-38 pounds.
Trying my tail on , the blending is not yet ready...

Thats pretty awesome; It LOOKS like it would be difficult to swim in but i guess they really know how to design the fins to eliminate as much drag as possible! Good to know! I want to go pretty crazy with the next tail i order. :)Quote:

You look wonderful in that tail, Meilyn; we've already discussed your plentiful fins (I especially like the pectoral ones and can see why you like to fondle them!) so I shall also point out that your choice of colour actually in a way goes with your skin tone, making you look very natural! :mermaid kiss:
MerSasha, your tail is coming along well, too! :mermaid kiss:
du solltest deine tails verkaufen! sehr schön!Quote:

I was going for that waist blending thing and this just goes to show you how precise they can be with colors!
Fin-fondling, yes ��
Here's my tail!

Just finished it after 9 months.
its made with the 12-14mm cartwright sequins.
Gorgeous, Enora! It looks beautiful on you, and you look beautiful in it!
You and your tail look stunning, Enora! And turquoise is my favorite color!
Thanks y'all! Turquoise is my favorite color too!
fun fact the fluke is so heavy and I tipped sideways and rolled over after the pic was taken. lol
Lol! I bet in the water it's perfect, though.
I really adore your pied tail.
So so much.
I imagine that sort of thing happens all the time during photoshoots; it's all a matter of getting that perfectly-timed shot, and you and your 'baby' look gorgeous in it! :mermaid kiss:Quote:

If I was a sailor and saw this coming toward my boat I'd be really nervous!
You do look very authentic! Hopefully the sailors would not be using harpoons but rather nets; the latter would still be dangerous, but might also be a bit fun.... :mermaid kiss:
You look awesome! Nice work!
Sent from my shellphone using Mertalk
haha yes nets please no harpoons!
WOW Enora!!!
Enora, your tail is stunning, and both of those photos are beautiful!
Hello everyone ! This is the new silicone mermaid tail that I've made :) It takes me a month to finish it !

Neat, it looks really good!
Love the colors!
Oh my starfish Claire, how pretty! [emoji7] It reminds me of those Lisa Frank rainbow animal notebooks that everyone had in the 90s...

So pretty! So iridescent!
Beautiful!!!
Claire, that tail is spectacular! And yours looks fabulous in the water, Enora!
Thank you ! I tried to make this tail the most shinning possible :) Meronica : I love this book <3
O.O Meronica, you read my mind. If Lisa Frank made a mermaid tail it'd definitely look like that. It's gorgeous, Claire. Is it a personal tail...or for sale? So, so prettiful. Those colors are amazing. ♡
