PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

[PearlieMae]

Thanks Jayy! An hour? And you managed to stay awake?

[Vittigera]

Speaking as an artist trying to break into tailmaking, PearlieMae, you are now my idol. Your attention to detail is nothing short of breathtaking and I can't wait to see your tail finished. I'm new to this site and I couldn't be more pleased that yours is the first thread I browsed. Keep being fintastic, lady.

[PearlieMae]

Hi Vittigera! And welcome!

Thank you for the glowing praise! But there are many more tailmaking mers on here to look to as well! There is a deep sea of talent to be found here.

You should introduce yourself here: http://mernetwork.com/index/forumdis...oduce-Yourself (I'd love to see some of your art!)

You're going to meet some great merfolks!

[Vittigera]

Thank you for the welcome, I need a day or two to get organized but I'll start a thread on the Introduce Yourself page soon with some artwork and such. Pleased to make your acquaintance.

Pearlie Mae what are the dimensions of your monofin? I think you and I are about the same size more or less.

[PearlieMae]

I don't have access to it right now (I'm out with The Beau), but I had to buy the 36" x 48" sheet of Lexan, $67 plus tax at Home Depot.

[Mermaid Oshun]

Didnt you draw it on a 24"x36" sheet of construstion paper? Please tell me when you get it because Im trying to decide how small to downsize my fluke.

I think that sketch you're thinking of is for me! I asked pearlie to make me a kids monofin and she's been working on the design for awhile!

[Mermaid Oshun]

Exquisitely beautiful scales and so organized too!

[PearlieMae]

Thanks! Excruciating attention to detail is going to make this tail a success, I believe.

[Meemerdd]

There are so many different scales here! There all so amazing and beautiful!

[PearlieMae]

I had mentioned my mermaid mailbox before, and remembered to take a photo. I did this with sequins and E6000. It's been out in the elements since 2008. So yeah, E6000 works pretty good.

[Mermaid Dottie]

Oh my gosh, Pearlie Mae, that is SO great!

[OceanRose]

Dammit *&$@ stop being so awesome! I can't handle it.
I'm having a 'moment'

[OceanRose]

JK. Don't stop, obviously :-D

[Winged Mermaid]

[PearlieMae]

Hehehe! Like I could stop even if I wanted to! My neighbors think I'm nuts, and I'm fine with that.

[Aino Revontuletar]

Hahaha I love the mailbox! Oh and the scales are just awesome, but you already know that!

[MermaidBrandie]

omg, that mailbox is fab.

[Kae]

So I've been away for what I thought was a short time and had to catch up on a billion pages of this thread! I can't believe how much I've missed!

These scales are heart-stoppingly beautiful! I can't wait to see more pictures!
