Idk what I should do! I had a plan to do a pool party with everyone who pitched in to help me get the tail but since I had no clue when it would arrive, I didn’t really set a date and with wedding planning and events, idk when I can squeeze in a party lol! Ahhh! Maybe I’ll just do a normal unboxing lol!

It’ll represent my friends and family who contributed to my tail because they helped make my dream come true! They need to add a few more details I requested and I hope she’ll be on her way to me soon! I made a collage of the stages of my tail being painted layer over layer (from what they shared) and I swear it’s like 4 different tails LOL!!! Attachment 42375Attachment 42376

Sweet!!! My goodness your tail really does look like 4 different tails! Haha! I recently got progress updates on my tail too! So excited!!! Yay! [emoji2][emoji2]

@NaiaMarina YAYAYAYYA!!!! So glad they’re working on it! Did u any chance get a template or mock up like a drawing or preview before they started painting? One of the reasons why mine always looked different is because I wasn’t given a preview. I didn’t know what the end result was going to be or what paints are to be used. They skipped a few steps getting ahead of themselves and painted it pink when they knew it should have been black/white. And I got paranoid on how it would look and had them make adjustments each progress photo because I didn’t know what they were going to do next. [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28] Buy its finally looking more to my liking!

I didn't actually receive one but I gave them a moodboard and mockup of what I wanted my tail to look like which came in handy I suppose coz they got it quite similar. So when I received an update, I was sooooo surprised it was pictures of a painted tail! I did ask them to tweak the color on the fluke which turned out pretty nicely upon the revision. Awaiting updates on the fins now so yay!Quote:

Also my personality and likes fluctuate which is a struggle so if they’re updating something new like every couple of weeks, who know how I’ll feel when I see it which makes me hope they can work as quickly as possible before my mind changes [emoji28][emoji28][emoji28] I learned that about myself just recently with my friend making one of wedding dresses so I do have to be mindful of the artist creating it and trusting them.Quote:

Thanks Jake! I'm sure yours is around the corner! I did mention to them that I had an upcoming beach trip in Nov so if I get my tail in time, I could do a location photoshoot. *fingers crossed* I believe I placed my order Jan 2016 or so...Quote:

GURL THATS AMAZING!!! It’s like a PowerPoint presentation! Lol! I was way more of a hot mess!!! I just posted whatever with long paragraphs of what could just be nonsense and it was all over the place compared to you! Your mood board is a great example for how it should be submitted to them!!! Very detailed!!! And omg I can’t wait to see yours in full!!! AHHHH!!!Quote:

I hope so! My pool is closed for the winter so at this point I’d much rather you get your tail in time for your photoshoot than me get mine so it can sit in my room until May lol. The excitement of seeing my tail still makes the wait hard though haha!Quote:

:swoon::mermaid kiss::swoon:
so far mine's just been similar fish photos, so original right? :lol::sweat drop:
i'm surprised too though of how dark i'm going, but i'm excited. it'll be a while until they start on it though.
but ugh gothmer (or was it mergoth?) anyway the heart is adorable <3
and yes those fabric tails look awesome! of course Bryn would post a low quality pic too :p
This is my tail design and inspirational images. The twins and myself agreed to make it very iridescent.
I chose to get the original scales with a blended waist and heel fins. Abby might add some black on during painting.
My tail should - hopefully - be ready for my 29th birthday in January. I made my deposit on February 1rst 2016.

You love those blue tails, don't you!? I think the first time I saw you your tail was blue. ;-)
That's gonna be so pretty! ❤
I just caved and bought of ton of the Mythic scales including ones on a top that I'll have to dismantle (but they're okay with that)
I'm going to make garlands and decorate my room with them. :D
Or maybe trying making a top, I'm still unsure
Is anyone else super excited for their new fabric tails?!
They will be so nice for when you just wanna hang out and swim and don't want all the hassle of a heavy tail.
I'm caving and planning on trying to snag one. They're really pretty. :blush::surrender:Quote:

Not me. They are so, so pretty and I really want one. But I really want that red/black one, and the lotus fluke, and I need a xs/s TALL option. I don't understand why they make them so short.Quote:

At first I really wanted to, but I think I’ll just finish getting everything to set up my saltwater tank instead.
