Here's a thread for mers who also work and play as costumed faeries.
In my work I try to teach and inspire children about nature, animal welfare, and conservation. Music, literature, and costumed theatre/character acting are my tools.
Thus far my working character has been a standard mermaid. I'm just starting to explore the faery world and loving it. I've got a couple pairs of wings on order from Etsy to go with my upcoming new tail themes. I'm really excited about adding faery costuming, flight, etc, to my mermaid naturalist programs. As a water faery mermaid I can now take the kids into lessons about birds and insects and wetlands as well as larger aquatic habitats. Not to mention dragonflies and dragons! The faery world offers so much lush imagery and inspiration for my songwriting. My new persona as Mermaid Galene, Water Faery Naturalist, is really letting me soar!
I'm excited to become a blend of mer and fae, and I look forward to sharing that interest with other merfolk!
Bumped from another thread:
I tried to choose smaller wings so they would work with me sitting in a tail. Once both pairs arrive, we'll see whether I can make it work! I do plan to start making my own wings when I can find the time. Hoping to come up with a swimmable version as well as sittable.
