Ah, I understand it now, thank you. I have heard about renaissance festivals in the US but the word faire was just unknown to me. Sounds like a great event and I wish that you somehow can join it, at least with a borrowed tail...
Glad you are helping maressa out Mernation! I hope she can get into contact with you by email soon.
A borrowed tail? What happened to the awesome tail you made in your avatar SeaNymph?
SeaNymph is talking about Maressa, MinxFox :)
Haha oops I thought she was saying she wished she could go but needed to borrow a tail. :doh:
Messaged your Facebook page! :)Quote:

Agreed, Galene.
Welp, here's my tail for Faire! The Mernation girls had a beautiful tail they were going to let me borrow for the first weekend, but four hours of driving the day before faire and not knowing what would happen come weekend #2 just made rush ordering a FinFun with help from my mom a better option. After Faire, I'll give it as a surprise to my little sister, who will be thrilled to have an Ariel tail and be able to swim with me when I get my Finfolk.

Wait, I'm confused. So, you are not going to use the MerNation tail and use the Ariel Finfun tail instead?

Yes, the tail they offered was lovely but the brakes on my car are due to be replaced Monday and Mernation is two hours away, and their tail is only available this weekend. Which means four hours of driving today to pick it up with bad brakes on my car, and four hours to drop it back off Monday after I take the car to the shop. Which is about $100 or more in gas plus eight hours of travel... easier to order a fabric tail with rushed shipping that I can give to my younger sister afterwards :)Quote:

I'm sure it will be a gerrat time, and I'm excited to meet the other mermaids who are coming as well :) The twins are sick, but doing their best to finish it for next weekend.Quote:

Awesome!
Thanks everyone! They sent this while I was at work and I teared up and showed it to all the customers, haha! I can't believe how beautiful it is! Abby is a very talented painter!

After all the trouble you've been through the recent week I can't belive how relieving it must be to actually see your tail. :)
It looks like it will all be worth it!
Maressa that tail is already looking amazing!!! Cannot wait to see the finished product!!!
Woohoo!
Thanks guys <3 I'm so happy. This last year has been really hard. I was in a car accident and lost my car, had to put my cat and best friend to sleep, lots of medical issues and bills, an insanely stressful semester at school, relationship trouble, and looking forward to my tail has helped to be a bright light at the end of a dark tunnel. I can't wait to join my Finfolk family! :D
So happy for you maressa! Can't wait to see the finished product! :D
:swoon:Attachment 26986
That tail has me drooling! Lol its beautiful!!!
Progress pictures like this make me wish that I'd live closer to a tailmaking business. It looks so fun painting them.
Swoon indeed!!!
I love those colors on that tail! I really love how the fluke is lined with that dark purple and the big spots are very unique. Did you know you wanted your tail to look like that right away or did it take you a while to figure out what it would look like? I think you picked a beautiful design. :swoon:
Thanks so much everyone! <3
Minxfox, I designed a loooooooot of tails before I picked this one. I made a pinboard and every time I saw something I liked, I pinned it. I'm a costumer, and I do the same with a lot of my big costume projects... helps you see what you keep going back to. :) I think I made about 15 different designs before I fell in love with this one.
Here's my pinboard! :D http://www.pinterest.com/thetessari/mermaid/
Great tip for collecting inspiring images! Thank you for the link it is neat seeing how all of those things translated into that beautiful tail! I can't wait for you to get it! :D
That fluke is breathtaking.
OMG!!! :jawdrop:
I found the image on Tumblr! What did I do to deserve this??!
I'm gonna turn into sushis! NOOOOOOOOOOO! :cry:

Maressa: Your tail is stunning :jawdrop:
Arion: Admittedly I giggled at the picture, but no one wants to be turned to sushi around here :P
First coat of paint on the stripes... they're getting softened and blended :) Attachment 27013
This tail is seriously turning out so perfect!
