PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

[PearlieMae]

Thanks, Seraphina! We still have to get together and have a tail painting party!

[Seraphina Suds]

Yes please! My mertender has been repainting the gradient in the fluke when she has the energy, but I still want to jazz the entire thing up somehow. Will you be coming to the NY ren faire? I dunno if you saw the post about it.

[PearlieMae]

When is faire over this year? I must have missed the post! My friends Laura and Sandy do face painting and henna/mehendi there!

[Seraphina Suds]

Oh, nice! I know one of the face painting women from my job. I wonder if she's one of your friends lol. I think the last weekend is the 21st, but I made a mermaid event for the 6th since it's pirate weekend. here's the facebook event https://www.facebook.com/events/732770920118468/ and there's a thread too http://mernetwork.com/index/showthre...Pirate-Weekend It should be a lot of fun!

Okay, seriously, Pearlie, I'm gonna start taking heart medication before I look at your stuff. Because that tail and fluke stop my heart every time!

[Mermaid Galene]

You know what I wold love to be able to make? A fluke like this, and a way to use it at the end of fully sequined neoprene tail.

[PearlieMae]

I think it could be done, Galene. I was thinking of refurbishing my prototype fluke for a spandex tail, and actually keeping it as a component so I could swap out tail bodies.

OH THE FISHY-FLOPPY-FLOWINESS. MY BRAIN CANNOT HANDLE IT. I LITERALLY GET A HEADACHE EVERY TIME I LOOK AT THIS BECAUSE IT IS SO FREAKING AMAZING.

[PearlieMae]

It's not much, but it's a start... http://pearliemae.net/

I would appreciate constructive criticism, and yes, I know there aren't any pix other than my closeup, but the new site is coming! Lots of pages, lots of photos, lots of...uh...STUFF!

[MermaidMichelle]

I like the layout; it has an ease-of-navigation feel to it and the information is both concise and extensive. The background is a beautiful showcase of your work, too!

[PearlieMae]

Thanks, Michelle! I had to have something in place for the Maker Faire website and work's been a bear, lately. Plus, I don't want to add any photos of the old fluke! Hopefully I will get some pix and videos this weekend!

Hi Ya, how about adding an Events and Personal Appearances popup for your faire and About Mermaiding you could leave for the Mythology and Mermaiding Community article.

[PearlieMae]

I would love to, but in this one page format, I'm only allowed four 'modules'.

It's not much, but it's a start... http://pearliemae.net/

I would appreciate constructive criticism

right then!

To someone running a scriptblocker, the page remains entirely blank (not even the background picture).
I can tell you from experience that many won't look closely at the site, nor disable their blockers, if there is nothing to see at all to determine what the site is about.

If you can manage to put some content up not running on scripts, you'll probably get more page views.

stunning. god damn great work. thats it.

(i like your website,too. just saw that link @_@ - i should go to bed. i am getting scattered)

[MarkF]

Works OK from here.

[MarkF]

You could put the mermaid introduction as text in the cover picture and save a page.

[Raayvhen]

Perhaps you could put the Facebook info on the front page so it doesn't take up a page?

[PearlieMae]

Thanks, everyone! This is just a holding page until I can get the full site ready to go live.

Omg the background picture! I'm having scale envy now!
