Thank you guys! I appreciate the info and I'm so happy to hear that Raven and everything is ok.

I ADORE her round flukes. They are amazing!

**MermaidNerenia** · 09-22-2017, 02:42 PM

That was one of the biggest reasons I went with Merbellas, her fluke sculpts are pristine but my #1 reason was her painting. Somehow she makes you look SUPER REAL, she's so talented.

I'm on day 472.

A group of Ohio mermaids are planning a meetup at Ginnie Springs during the first weekend of August 2018. I would love to have my tail in time for that but I don't know. That seems like a tight timeline when I think of how many tails I think she has out there, plus recovery from the hurricane season.

Ginnie is the spring I have most wanted to swim in.

Day 900!!! I hope everything is well with Raven that she is recovering from the storm

I caught up with raven and she only got back to work yesterday after returning to the studio and cleaning up from irma! shes working non stop!!

I just got photos of my top, tail, necklace, and veil from Raven. I am so happy. I am still in a bit of shock that I am finally going to be a 'real' Merbella after 957... plus the shipping time. I'd share the photos if I had asked for permission before she went to bed, but if she posts them on instagram (and then here), I am sure you will see them. Look for spots.

338 here =)

Since Raven had officially posted the pics on her instagram now, and all the images are watermarked...

Here is the pretty gal I waited 957 days to see.

Your tail is so beautiful, the blues go together really well.

**AniaR** · 09-23-2017, 09:04 PM

oh she made you a veil?? that's amazing! I want you to know I didn't realize you're getting one and I asked her if Sean and I get married if she'd make me one too. LOL. But who knows when/if that'll happen/ I'm so glad you finally got your tail it looks amazing! and it's so much better than ones she made years ago because she's learned so much now!

Adjusting to a silicone tail can be tricky/ Do not get discouraged if you have trouble getting it on your body in the start. it's a learning curve!

This makes me so happy. I really hope she takes commissions again soon.

The veil was a surprise she added in for fun. ^_^ If you and Sean get married, by all means get a veil, too! I wont be offended. XD omgrainagotaveiltoo,huffhuff! <3 <3

I am hoping that my tail will be here by my 9th engagement anniversary (yup, engaged 9 years, I think we are ready, lol) and I will take it to the coast with us and give it a try in the hotel pools, and if the weather is nice, maybe post on the sand. We'll see.

I anticipate it will be rough to start with, but I am ready to give it a shot.
