SHoW Us YoUR TaiLS THReAd!!!

[Merdude Ricky]

Thank you! Yeah. I guess it does look nice. Haven't tried it in the water yet. Maybe I'll ask my friend to take a few pics to see what it's like underwater. Super excited !! Though I am jealous of all the silicone tails. So cool!

[Frecklefish]

My first tail! It's from Growatail and I'm really happy with it. After my first swim I learned a lot about the tail and spandex XD Thinking hard about making a neoprene tail to go with the monofin. Love the idea of one day owning a silicone tail.

[MermaidMichelle]

Wow; you have a model physique and a professional photographer, so I imagine you would have a stunning portfolio in a silicone tail, but you look great in this one too! The expression on your face makes it look like you're about to be shipped in the box....

[Frecklefish]

>/////< ohgeeze!! Haha Thank you!! I would loooooove to model a silicone tail one day!!! Not many available in Denver though, unless I go bug the Aquarium for one of their mernation tails XD

[Mermaid Jessica Pearl]

I have that exact same chest! It is such a great prop!

[Mermaid Galene]

I did a little mod to my first tail today: added fins and two layers of flouncy fin on the fluke. Can't wait to see how this looks in the water!

[MerEmma]

WOW! That fabric. Is it painted?

[Mermaid Galene]

No, it's actually commercial spandex. Isn't it cool?!

[Mermaid Adriel]

that fabric is simply great *w* I'm sure this tail will look amazing in water!

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks!

[MermaidMichelle]

It should be extremely flowy; it looks like a Princess dress!

[Winged Mermaid]

Mermaid Galene that's so pretty!

[Mermaid Muir]

That tail is absolutely beautiful!

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks, Iona and Muir. I'm thinking of cutting the fluke extension down to about 4 inches, though. As is, it creates a terrible amount of drag in the water. Or I could just keep it primarily for land gigs. I plan to make two new tails soon.

Beautiful!

[Mermaid Galene]

Thanks! I'm thinking I shouldn't hack it up. I know I'll be making new tails, and this one can just be my "easy swimming only" and dry land gig tail.

[Echidna]

it's perfect for an aquarium or tank gig

my first 3D-tail is almost done, but I have a sinking feeling (lol pun) it will drag me to the bottom like a stone and be completely impossible to move in.
which is a shame, considered how nice it looks and how long I've worked on it.

will test it out next week or so.

[MermaidMichelle]

I look forward to seeing the results, and I recommend the shallow end!

[Mermaid Galene]

I look forward to pics, Caltuna!

And yep, Michelle, when I swam in that flouncy tail I didn't go beyond where I could stand up. I'll build up endurance with monofin alone before I start the deep end stuff.

[MermaidMichelle]

That is a very sound idea; I swam into the deep end my first time in a monofin, but that is only because I lifeguarded for nine years (and even I​ took a risk!)
