Show off your tops! :)

[Mermaid Galene]

Clever! I love the tentacles!

[Merenneito Nerissa]

So cute! I've never seen a jellyfish inspired top, that's lovely

Btw, I must ask for you all that where on ocean have you found that beautiful netting made of that cotton-like string? I haven't found them anywhere from Finland, even though fishing is quite popular hobby or profession here... Like yeah, we have that thin, plastic net and I even have tried that but omg it is a pain in the ass... And it can be used only as a decoration cause otherwise it really can go trough skin

So if you have any kinds of web pages or anything which also ships world wide, share them with me please <3

I have begun making neoprene sea animals for embellishing tops, tails - wherever! These and other items can be found in my Etsy shop, Mermaid Galene's Grotto. See the classified section here on MerNetwork for more info. Here's my prototype: a Blue-ringed Octopus named Octavia. I wore her, to the delight of lots of children, at our New Year's Eve waterpark gig.



In the next few months, I will be adding more realistic neoprene animals: other octopus species, rays, sea turtles, and eels. Down the road I will also be listing faerie products - perhaps even a neoprene dragon or two!

[Mermaid Enora]

Here's my top, its made with scales, bikini top, and ballet tights.

The other stuff I'm wearing is my walking around mermaid skirt/dress.

[Mermaid Galene]

Beautiful, Enora!

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks, Opal!

In DIRE need of that octo. When I get the funds, yessss, more octos in my room.

I'd love for one of these guys to find a home with you, Queen!

Meanwhile, the Kraken bides his time...

So I decided to repaint a bra I made last year. I need a top to match a sparkle walking tail I made and I had two pretty turquoise shells, and was going to make a brand new top, but decided to just sell those sells and repaint my other and add glitter

Great before and after! I liked the top before but wow I love the addition of the glitter and the beads or pearls.

[Ashton]

those are beautiful!

[SeaNymph]

What did you use to paint the shells Shimmy? I was told to use acrylic paint, but that didn't last long at shells and was scratched off very easily :-(

[shimmygoddess]

That is what I used. Mostly Metallic paints. I also used some Lumiere on some other shells. I added a glitter coat and could probably spray them with a clear coat. I did have one shell chip on the edge, but b/c I banged the shell so I just painted over it. I havn't had any problems yet with paint chipping or flaking. I am pretty careful with all my costumes

Just painted this one for my daughter yesterday...going to make her a pink shell top to match her Fin fun tail

@Shimmygoddess

You make beautiful shell tops! Have you ever thought about selling some with Etsy?

Thanks Arion! I have thought about it. Its just so much work..LOL and I ended up liking them all

[shimmygoddess]

Been resting for the past 2 days due to a migraine and cramps and feel shitty, but needed to do something today. So I grabbed my heating pad and put on some scary movies and decided to make my daughter a new mermaid top to match her pink Fin Fun tail Still want to add some pink pearls, but overall it is mostly done. Cannot wait until the weather warms up and can do a photoshoot with it.

[Mermaid Alea]

Very pretty I love the bright pink with the green plants!
I just got over a sore throat today. Seems like many mers are getting sick/not feeling well! Get well soon!

[shimmygoddess]

I finished my two little mini mermaid tops and got better pics today, so wanted to share I have one more in the works
