Attachment 32055 my new tail from Mermaid Kariel!!! I'm so in love with it!!!!!

What a wonderful tail, Harmony!
Wow Harmony! Your tail turned out beautifully!!
Harmony! Your tail is amazing. What is it made of?

For a minute, I thought you had a crochet tail on...Quote:

Crochet can look very much like silicone!
Sadly swimming is so much harder, or else I could make all tails I'd ever need myself.
So this is a silicone tail? Do we know if it is dragonskin? Based on a comment on this video, it was casted using scale sheets.

Yes, it's Dragonskin. Kariel made a tail or two (that I know of) using the individual scale method (aka the Pearlie Method ;) )
I asked on her Facebook if she did scale sheets for this new design and she replied yes.
Kariel only uses Dragonskin.
Thanks friends! Thanks Pearlie for answering, I forgot to check it last night. Yeah, it's 35 pounds, def. not crochet.
35 lbs.? Damn! You're going to be stronger than all of us! Didn't mean to jump in your grave (as my grandmother would say), but I thought I would add my two cents as I asked Kariel on fb.
Please! Fill us in on the details! It's a marvelous looking tail! I'm so excited for you!
Can we get a full picture of the fluke? It looks amazing :swoon:

I finally got to go swimming in my new creation! So happy it's done. :lol: Hooray for BIG scales! (Highly recommend going big if you're doing individual scales and have low patience like me... *g*)

Great Work! :D
I cannot overstate how much I love this tail. I just can't. It is quite simply my favorite silicone tail out there. Love the fluke, fins and those primordial scales.Quote:

All together, it reminds me of my grandmother's garden. Excuse me if I ask, but could I see more pictures? It is very unique.
THAT LOOKS AMAZING!!Quote:

Harmony, that is a magnificent rainbow tail that looks even more amazing when the scales are viewed at close range! :mermaid kiss:
Romy, that is a very vibrantly red tail which is very eyecatching! :mermaid kiss:
Dancing Fish, even washed-out that copper tail looks real, especially the fluke. You seriously look like a photo in a field guide! :mermaid kiss:
Dancing Fish, HOLY MOLY I love that tail. I love those big scales! It looks fabulous on you!!!
Here is a photo of my brand new silicone tail from Mermaid Jessica.

Beautiful!!! Are you going to do a review? I'm interested in Jessica's work :)
I'd be happy to do one after it goes on its first swim this weekend!
That is very pretty!

Madison Juliette,
1) that tail is beautiful!
2) is that a Pearlie May scale pendant? I think we're pendant twins :)
3) those tights are awesome
4) that living room is AWESOME!
Thanks guys! And yes, it is a PearlieMae scale! I love it, it has become one of my favorite accessories! :D
That tail is bright and tropical and polka-dotted indeed! The work is quite fine, and if I may say so, Madison, you possess a natural curvature more akin to the original animated Ariel than any other mermaid I have yet seen! :mermaid kiss:
Oh gosh….. you're too kind. :blush: Thank you! <3
Is video okay to share? Finally got the video to upload and couldn't wait to share. :) https://youtu.be/HF646h0Wheo

That is a beautiful video! You look lovely in that natural setting, and I like how the fish were filmed as well! :mermaid kiss:
Aw thank you!
I GOT FINISHED PHOTOS OF MY TAIL! I'll keep updating in the Finfolk thread if you want to see more after it ships to me.
