    A Silicone Tail Making Adventure with Wesley

    That's what I plan to do. I think all I'm worried about is like making the foot panel too narrow and having it break at my feet. (Edited. My Internet spazzed out)

    Lol! I know how you feel. I've drawn up so many color schemes, and I love them all, I wish I had millions of $$$ and could just make every single one.

    Ugh I'm starting to like teal!

    The teal and maroon is amazing! Especially because you wanted to do maroon originally, so combine the two! (:

    Ok. I'm honestly in love with the fact that when you joined you had chosen your username to symbolize that you didn't consider yourself a mer yet, but hopefully you will be. Yeah, I remember that from two years ago near the time I joined. And now look at you! Taking on a silicone tail and aiming to sell tails, even trying to go further than Mertailor! That's really cool haha Anyways, good luck!! It's looking like its going to be awesome

    hehehe Yeah I do need to change my name soon don't I? As soon as I realized that being a mermaid was a possibility I knew that I wanted a silicone tail but never thought it would happen and now I'm making it happen and am very excited. As far as tailmaking goes, Who knows? I've gone through the jewelry-making phase and almost started selling that, polymer clay little characters and almost sold those, stuffed animals, jewelry again, etc. I never went through with them because I really wasn't good enough compared to everyone out there. Mermaid tails is a whole new ballgame. (As far as passing up Mertailor, I don't really think I could pass him up. Hes a great artist and all I meant earlier was that it would be great if I could offer an alternative to his basic tails, (which he doesn't seem to put too much effort into). I wanna make mermaid dreams come true too! <3

    Would you do full silicone or neoprene lined? I mean as your mertailor alternate?

    Probably neoprene lined. They're cheaper to make and lighter so yeah. Idk. I would have to experiment.

    I know mermaid raven just raised her basic prices because she said they are harder to make and seam together and everything

    Yeah, I've gotta experiment a lot. It's just a goal for the future.

    I think it's an awesome goal! I hope you become the best neoprene silicone tail maker out there!

    I think you should try to find a way to include extra fins in neosil (abbreviation? Hmm I like it) tails because other tail makers don't offer that

    I guarantee that would be a drawing point for customers. (HA custoMERS XD) with merbellas the closest you can get is a hybrid tail
