Hello! My name is Michelle but my mermaid name will be MermaidJupiter (I love sailor jupiter, have since I was a kid). I am 35 years old and was introduced to mermaiding last year. I have made 1 tail (working on another one hopefully) but it was not the best as I am still learning how to make a pattern and measure myself. I am really excited about this community and I am happy to say we have a small pod here in my city which is great. I want to learn more about tail making and how to become a semi-professional mermaid (really want to do kids parties), but atm I am not confident in my abilities but maybe one day
I am curious though about a few things that might make it difficult for me. I cannot hold my breath due to my asthma, I cannot open my eyes under water, and I cannot swim without a noseplug (cannot seem to keep pesky water out of my nose). Will these limitations prevent me from being a mermaid at birthday parties? I am sure I can learn to swim with my eyes open but not the nose thing, been trying for years and just cannot do it. Anywhoo I look forward to meeting some of you fine folks on here and making some mer-pals nearby and all across the world.
