PearlieMae's Silicone Tail Journey

[MermanOliver]

Works ok on my windows phone.

One question though: I always thought the original Splash tail was latex, and that they had quite some issues with it during the shoot because of that? For Splash 2 I think they did something else, maybe urethane, but I could be wrong here.

Pearlie, You just keep adding to the excitement of this tread every time I pop in. I am just stunned on how great everything is coming along. ITs really making me think of ditching latex and going Silicone.

[MermaidMichelle]

I know that silicone is generally considered the best material for tails; at least according to the Raina​ometer....

(ie. I read it in How to Be a Mermaid​ ​....)

[PearlieMae]

DO IT, Julz!

It's so easy, and well worth the aggravation of latex!

This is the most adorable, princess-like fairy tale mermaid creation I've yet to see. Your scale pattern is breathtaking!

[PearlieMae]

Thanks!Truth be told, I never meant to add glitter. Initially, this tail was going to be realistic, based on arawana fish, and I was only going to use the mica powders for their pearly effect. But, I added glitter to ine batch and was so amazed with how it turned out, I had to use it everywhere!I love this tail and I know I've said it before, but I really think I will be done and swimming by Sunday! REALLY! I've only blown past my self imposed deadline by seven months, but I have learned so much on this journey! I really can't wait to start on the next one! I have a green and golden one in mind...

There can never be too much glitter

Considering purple is one of my least favourite colours, I'll probably need sedation if you make another tail with colours I really like lol.

[PearlieMae]

Purple and orange, I find, are two colors that people either absolutely love or absolutely hate. I have an actual physical reaction when I see purple, my heart leaps! I adore it so! I would love to have a functional MRI to see what my brain does when I see it!

And I agree, there can never be enough glitter!

Oh hey I haven't checked in on Pearlie's tail thread in a while, I wonder what--



Oh my god Pearlie your tail. YOUR TAIL. That fluke, the glitter, just... oh my god. Oh my god. AND THE TOP. That top is so gorgeous, I can't. I can't.

Look I'm gonna be honest here for the sake of my health I'm gonna have to stop coming into this thread when you post updates because my body cannot physically handle this level of glittery fishy perfection.

That I call va-va-voom tail! So sexy!

[PearlieMae]

HAHAHAHAHA! Thank goodness I'm almost done, eh?

(That gif is killing me!)

Amazing tail pearliemae!! I love it!! This is my thought process while reading this thread, I love it, I love it, I love it,I love it, I cry because I can't have it, but I still love it.

[PearlieMae]

Here it is underwater, with the old fluke...

[Seraphina Suds]

Aaaah it's so hyper realistic!! You're so freaking talented,I can't handle it! I'm starting a tail find so I can be your first customer if/when you start selling @0@

[Echidna]

It's so...PURPLE! xD

they say purple is a spiritual colour.
I think people love colours that match their aura, even unconsciously.

[Mermaid Wesley]

I'mma say it again. You're so inspiring. Your tail is beautiful. I can't even. Gah.

Cal, the back has a lot of green in it...sorry the pic is so dark.

[MermaidMichelle]

An "arawana fish"? That doesn't sound strictly legal....

However, it looks incredible!
