PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

[Mermaid Wesley]

I'm glad you go to see a design flaw! (Now I'm a teeny bit worried and am definitely going to put a double layer in that problem area) kick this tail's butt!

Well, I'm extremely overwhelmed with your progress and work. it looks FABULOUS so much time and effort and you can see it. the whole piece is going to make you look like a goddess. I haven't been on here in 3 months as iv had a lot of troubles with my project. but to view your thread and see your progress is simply WORTH IT.

[PearlieMae]

I was wondering where you'd gone off to! Hope everything is okay.

I tested the new shape of the monofin last night, and while I expected a loss of propulsion, it was minimal...but the big surprise was how maneuverable the new shape is! So the final fin gets cut tonight and - I know I've said it before - I HOPE TO FINISH IT THIS WEEKEND!

Which is good, because I have a little over two weeks to make a dry-event tail for the Coney island Mermaid Parade on the 21st. Whew!

You can do it! I have all my digits crossed for you xx

Hey Pearlie,
where did you buy your pigments?

[PearlieMae]

I got the PearlEx 24-pack at Michaels a long time ago, but Blick Art Supply has the bigger bottles of single colors and different sets at a competitive price: http://www.dickblick.com/products/ja...-pigment-sets/

The beginnings of this year's walking costume for the Coney Island Mermaid Parade... (no, not wearing the silicone tail!)

It's gonna be cool!

Ooooh it reminds me of a jellyfish in that picture

I get a one-page webpage with the purchase of my domain... http://pearliemae.net/

The rest of the site is (being built)!

[JessieMermaid]

I love that the background is your tail up close!

[PearlieMae]

I didn't put all that work into those scales for nothing!

If you go through Gybo.com you can get a domain name free for a year, then use weebly or something and redirect the domain to that page! Thats how i did www.MermaidKishiko.com (:

[JessieMermaid]

lol I know and I'm totally thinking of doing my own tail like that once we get the house settled!


Kishiko you are adorable! Such a cute website!

Thanks, but I already have non-branded hosting just waiting for me to flesh it all out...been busy making the tail!

[PearlieMae]

It IS a work in progress...my walking tail costume for this year's Coney Island mermaid Parade is well underway! (ignore the tee shirt)

Not going to let the parade kill me, like it almost did last year!

[JessieMermaid]

Looking good!!

I am SO excited to see your tail when it's all finished. Looks like you've put tons and tons of effort into it. Also that top is freaking amazing and I want one. XD
