I would agree it's hard to make/see accurate koi fish tails. They do sometimes really look like cows with orange spots thrown in there.

Anyone know who the koi tail belongs too????

[Ariel-Starfish]

This is the first Koi tail I actually like! So realistic <3
I wonder where it go'd to?

[*Celine*]

love, love, love looove the koi tail!!!

Question: are you allowed to order multiple tails at once? Would you get them at the same time, or could she finish one and send it, then start the other and send it seperately?

Also, when she sends extra goodies with your tail, do people choose them, or does she just send whatever she thinks you'd like?

[Mermaid Kalliope]

I don't know about the multiple tails, but I know the extra goodies are usually a surprise. Like my scale bracelet. I had no idea she gave me one. :-) I love it though! ^-^

[Mermaid Isabel(:]

I'm pretty sure you can order multiple at once. Wasn't there already that order of two golden tails she uploaded a photo of?

Extra tails = yes, but only when she's able to. She's done clients who have ordered several tails for their companies. But it all comes down to timelines. The goodies are free goodies she gives when she *has* them and generally to say thank you to a client for being extra flexible or patient. Don' expect them, but if you get em, yay!

I figured the little extras were random, I was just checking. I don't necessarily expect any, I was just wondering what the deal was with them.

I love this community. Everyone's so helpful. just saying

[AniaR]

I only say it because people have gotten angry with her for not giving extras without realizing she had no time for extras and none to give.

People can be so rude and selfish, it's unbelievable...

No respect at all.

That is messed up. Seriously? It's a freebie extra for a reason.

If they want something so badly they'd get upset without it, they should offer to pay for it instead of expecting her to hand over things that take work for free. :P

here, here! *claps*

I'm still so often amazed that Raven even sends freebies, people shouldn't expect them or count on getting them and if they have a problem with that then they either need to pay out or quit complaining.

[Arella]

Raven sent me a hair clip and earrings as freebies I'm going to wear them to my shoot : ) so excited!!!!

[Mer-Crazy]

I feel so bad cause she sent me such lovely earrings for free but I don't have pierced ears so I can't wear them I was considering telling her when I paid, because I knew she sent out freebies but I didn't want to come across as arrogant or anything like 'oh I know I'm gonna get some freebies'. So I just didn't say anything.

[Mermaid Dottie]

I wonder if there's a way to modify them into wraps or clip ons.

I'm sure there is. I've modified post-backs to hook backs before because of historical costuming. I'm sure there's a way to modify hook-backs to clip-ons if you can find the right clip-on base.

[MermaidAmestris]

I can't believe people get angry about it. I wasn't expecting anything at all, I've just seen them in unboxing videos and was wondering how it worked. Geez, how ungrateful do you have to be to be to get mad about something so dumb when this girl worked her tail off just to make sure you had one?

[Arella]

Yeah I would juts go to your local craft store to look for some clips : )

It's quite easy to modify earrings to fit non-pierced ears! I have done it myself, either from pierced to clip, and even clip to pierced. You simply need to remove the old ear wire, then attach the earring to a non-pierced base. Here's some bases I found, depending on whether you like clip type or screw type. http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/...-wires-422659/ http://shop.hobbylobby.com/products/...-loops-227678/ Here's also a tutorial that might help. http://jewelry.lovetoknow.com/Conver...ngs_to_Clip_On
