Hello fellow Mers! I am a newbie, I go by mermaid Eden. I am currently in the process of recieving a mertailor fantasea fin and Maroon Fly spandex skin (i did not go for the whimsy skin as it's pretty out of my financial capabilities at this moment.)
What i want to do is add fins (similar to the maroon fly whimsy fins, again i could not afford the actual skin) and sew beading to it to embelish them, and I want to know what the best way of modifying/painting on spandex is. I am planning to order spandex, fabric paint, waterproof acrylic sealer, and then hand stitching the fins to the skin (I am pretty skilled at this so the sewing in't necessarily a worry for me)
I am not sure how well it'll hold up in the water, it doesn't have to be perfect, but I would like to know thoughts and also guage interest in a possible tailmaking/ altering thread?
I cannot add photos yet, but the name and brand of the starting skin is listed above.
