Hi all! So I've always wanted to make some merprops incase I ever need them and me being me, I decided that there isn't a better time than now (especially because I plan to be at an Earth day celebration as a mermaid and I have to work on big projects while at home because my dorm doesn't have the space)
So here are the things I really want to make (all of these projects will be worked on when I have extra pearls (aka money) to spend and extra time to work on it. (and if the weather allows since it's been in the triple digits lately, supposed to be 120 tomorrow )
- A mermaid bench for photo opportunities and for me to sit my mermaid butt.
- seahorse props to go beside the bench or at the opening to my "lagoon" both light weight and movable
- Mermaid lagoon/pond sign
- fake jellyfish to hang from the ceiling of the tent (even if I eventually move to using a small pool as my pond, it's necessary in AZ to have a tent for shade anyways so I'll always have a tent no matter what)
And here are my inspirations for the projects.
the bench:
Jellyfish:
Since I don't know how often I'll be using them or how many people I will have helping me set up and take down (I currently only have my 1 mertender, aka my fiance, and with just him and me I know we'll have to stick to the minimum) so I'm not going to be breaking the bank with these. I'll be attempting to create them in the cheapest and most cost effective way and with the lightest materials so that if needed one person would only be needed to move one item instead of an army. Thankfully I have experience making theater sets so those skills will come into play with these.
