Merbellas Thread

[Ashton]

Hey I was wondering if anyone knew if she was taking orders, I understand she is busy but I sent her an email and she never replied.
I even followed her fb and told her in the email I have funds and design.

[MerEmma]

Pretty sure she's still trying to get caught up, just keep watching her FB and here for when she might announce it.

[Ashton]

Thank you

I'm still awaiting news of whether my tail has been shipped! Aaaaah~

Okay... I can do this. I've been good this long. Merph. >< if it weren't for Merfest, I probably wouldn't be bothered.

Talia- glad to hear you got your top!

Alarson - Like Emma said, just keep watching. I happened to get lucky and got my order in quickly. XD So, sorry I can't be more help there.

This looks like a Merbellas, but I'm having a hard time finding some "production" pics of it, do you guys know?

omg guys i'm sooooo excited. I JUST email raven about my tail order.
i hope she will be taking new orders soon.

[Ashton]

Just be patient, I emailed her about 2 weeks ago. And face booked her a few days ago to see is he got my email (That only sounds kinda creepy). And no reply yet. But I made sure to tell her I was ready to pay and my concept was down.

i know =)
but patience was never my strength,.. well everyone had to go throught this and so will i
did you order a basic or a performance tail?

[Merman Arion]

I'm getting depressed by this. Well, a little bit actually. I'm feeling down because I had on my mind that I would probably get my dream tail from Raven for Summer 2014 if I order around December/January, and lately, i'm discovering more and more people who also intend to order. Not that I have a problem with them since they are within their rights, i just feel... discouraged. Completely. The more the new line-up of order is becoming longer, the more i fear to miss my shot.

I'm also freaking out because I can't make up my mind about the measurements : I have been measured by three people already and numbers are a mess. Yet, I strongly follow the tips of Mermaid Iona aka Winged Mermaid...

The more I think about it, the more my merman heart is confused and I don't know what i should do. I feel like i'm losing the courage that i found to step up and embrace my chilhood dream. I'm already missing NCMerfest, i don't wanna miss this too.

[Mermaid Oshun]

I like your new avatar picture Merman Arion. I am sure you will have your tail by June of 2014. She usually takes 6 months? I can't wait to see it!

[Ashton]

I also hope to get my order in so I can have it by at least late summer. I'm sure it's a busy time because I'm sure just about everyone wants a tail by summer, other than people who life in Australia who have summer as winter.

Aw, don't be too down, hun. I know waiting SUCKS, but dreams are meant to be lived! Don't back down on something you really want, and don't let the idea of waiting make you anxious! One of the bad things about tailmaking being such an art is how few good tailmakers there are compared to the demand... Hopefully with the many threads going on where mers are making their own tails and several people stepping up to try and become experienced tailmakers themselves, within a couple of years we won't have to rely on only Raven, Eric, and lately the FinFolk twins because there will be MANY amazing tailmakers out there! A few of them might end up like Fishbutts, but as long as there is a demand, people will eventually step up to fill it. That's how it was with Asian Ball Jointed Dolls--when I started collecting, you had to hire a buyer from Japan to purchase them for you, and now anyone in the world can order them from the supplier. That way people who REALLY want a Raven tail above ALL else will be able to keep buying from Raven, and people who like other makers will buy from others so that Raven will be able to take more orders from people who want not just a gorgeous silicone tail, but her particular fluke/scales/style. If a Raven tail is your dream, I say stick with it! The joy will be worth it in the end.

I have the weirdest question for you... Do you consider Christmas a summer holiday? Like is it analagous with summer in y'all's minds the way it is with winter here in America? And do you do the whole evergreen tree/Santa at the North Pole stuff? I just can't imagine what it's like to have Christmas in summertime!

Yup, Christmas is a summer holiday school has almost 2 months off! We have Christmas trees and everything, but instead of snow days we have beach days or lunch/dinner outside with the family!
