My fluke got torn last weekend! I'm heartbroken and won't swim in it again until I can get it fixed.
I seriously cry everytime I think about it.
Oh my goodness how did it happen? Did syren studios make your tail?
I'm angry at myself because my tail is so new and I already effed it up. I was in a cart with my fluke pressed against it, was being wheeled around an event for a couple of hours, flipping my tail up and down. I think the pressure against the side of the cart made the tears around the monofin.
Yes, it's a Syren Studios tail. I love it so much, it's gorgeous.
I have a tailmaker friend who's going to fix if for me next weekend. Lily was wonderful, she sent me the pigments for the fix!
My SS rainbow tail is for sale in the classifieds section for anyone interested.

I stopped getting notifications and forgot MN existed for a bit there </3 missed you guys! How is everything?!
Hey everyone! I know it's been aaaaaaages since I posted but I wanted to give you a quick update!
My little merling Aurora arrived on September 14 and I am so in love it's ridiculous! She's just over 4 months old now (where does the time go?!) and while this whole parenting thing is way harder than I expected, it's also basically the most awesome thing in the world.
That being said, momming has left me zero time for mermaiding or tailmaking, and I expect that to continue for some time still. I'd originally hoped to be back in the studio by now but clearly that hasn't happened and I have no idea when it will. I don't want to put her in daycare - mama needs her baby snuggles, and honestly the $ I'd get from making tails wouldn't cover the cost of daycare in my area. It's possible I will be able to start working on the weekends while my husband can be home to watch her, but she is very much a mama's girl and needs lots and lots of attention. I may start small with just tops for a while (got plans to start offering seaweed tops!) and see how it goes.
I'm super bummed not to be at Mermania this weekend, but I hope you all have a whale of a time!
Also, merbaby tax! https://www.instagram.com/p/BKl2dyVBSHO/ (she's under a week old here but has already grown so much! ❤️❤️❤️)

Happy for you Lily!
Still loving my gorgeous tail and top, a million thanks for them!!
I am still as in love with my Syren Studios tail and top as much as the first day I got them! You are correct that they are beautifully fluid!!
Mine swims beautifully. My fluke is enormous so while it offers a great deal of propulsion, it also takes a good two kicks to get going. I think it's a matter of personal taste. PM me if you have any other questions!

Hey everyone! I know I've been super quiet here, FB, instagram... pretty much everywhere. I want you all to know that I'm still sketching and still planning to return to the studio. I've got a bunch of non-mer projects right now that are occupying most of my free time, which is basically however long my daughter naps during the day. Currently I'm working on designs for a seaweed top and a new set of fluke and accessory fins inspired by water fairies. I'm calling it the Aurora set after my little girl! I still don't know when I'll be back to the studio. We're thinking of putting her in daycare/preschool part time in the fall, just for the morning a few days a week, both to get her more social interaction and to give me time to do something other than mom 24/7. I'll be starting small, with tops and accessories, but I may need to do a Kickstarter to source some funds for a new air compressor - mine has started to rust out from not being used and I'm scared to turn it on in case it fails and ruptures! That's what I get for buying the cheapest one I could find, right?
Here's a pic of my little merbaby, who's not so much a merbaby anymore as a mertoddler! She turned 18 months today and I am proud to say that she is already obsessed with mermaids. She loves looking at pictures and videos of mers on my phone!
