Thanks! That metallic look comes from about 5 bottles of nail polish. The bra underneath is actually black.Quote:

Ooooooh! It's very PotC! How's it swim?
It's great! Not fast though. The extension is very floppy and if I swim faster than a graceful 'walk' so to speak, it causes a ton of drag by flopping funny. It's pretty underwater though, very fluid and smooth. And believe it or not I extended it with zip ties and gorilla tape and it's held up great! Especially after I left it in a hot car and the adhesive melted a little. :)

I daresay the final verdict is "SHE IS SO A MERMAID"! ^ :mermaid kiss:
Lol he's helping with a silicone one now so I think he's accepted it finally XD

That is wonderful news! I of all people can attest to how joyful an occasion it is when one's family finally accepts one's 'being born in the wrong body' (or ~half the wrong body in the case of most mermaids...lol)! :mermaid kiss:
So you all know I'm working on a tail, I'll post pictures when it's done, but funny story, my dad is the only one who knows I'm making it (outside of my social networking and I haven't even mentioned it on Facebook) and when it's done I'm going to take it for a swim and have my dad bring my mom to where I'm swimming. Otherwise I'd get a lot of negativity.
So you're just going to "come out" to her by having her see you swimming as a big fish? That could work; if she is something of a naysayer she could be sufficiently impressed by the final product to think more positively of you as a mermaid in future! I wish and pray for the best! :mermaid kiss:
Pretty much. Even if she doesn't approve I'm an adult and I do what I want! Haha and she'll probably complain mostly about the money and I'll just point out that I didn't pay 600+ for it and only made it for ~150 purely from etsy profits.

I highly approve of your use of .gif, madame.
Last tail for Winter, and also I'm moving house, so I have to pack everything up.
Carps! I just remembered... I was supposed to line it...:mad:
This one took me 3 days! :phew:

Print tails have an interesting, tropical feel to them, and this one also has a bit of a Christmassy vibe to it! :mermaid kiss:
I know a few mermaids have been waiting for full photos of this tail, so here it is! Introducing Mantis, my brand new Merbella Studios full silicone mermaid tail. It's based off of the Peacock Mantis Shrimp. <3 When I get photos of the front of the tail, top, and headpiece, I will also post those!
