If you don't mind me asking Merin, how much did this particular tail run you? I completely understand if you don't what to answer, just thought I would ask.

[Mermaid Morgann]

I don't mind answering but I'd prefer to do so privately.

Thank you everyone! So happy to see it's well received!

There is always that temptation to add heel fins, for even in Splash! one can see Madison/Daryl's heels very obviously, however both Merin and I have elected to forego them. In my case, it is because I don't want too much distraction from the thigh area (you'll see why). In Merin's case, I presume it is because adding heel fins would be less accurate for a Peacock Mantis Shrimp design....

Added vinyl fringe to my magictail! I can't wait to swim in it!!

What did you use to paint your tail?

It was partly accuracy bit mostly I've not been much of a fan of heel fins in general. Merbella Studios does such a good job of hiding heels so it wasn't a concern of mine. Still, love seeing other mers get creative about hiding heels!

If had to think about realistic fishes and fins for my tails, I don't think I'll ever get done with sewing!

[Sherielle]

Merin! That gorgeous tail should come in today! I think it's also one of my favorites! Guh.

[Firemaid]

I'm still going to add some extra fins, but I couldn't resist taking it for a test swim. This tail is specially designed to grow with my growing belly. I love it.

[lynsea]

You look so natural and gorgeous under the water. And of course your tail is stunning too!

my new spandex tail

Hey mermaid Michelle! I found this pic of u in ur tail on tumblr thought u might appreciat seeing it ^_^

[PearlieMae]

I am so impressed with all the beautiful mermaids!

[MermaidMichelle]

I do appreciate that, NixieOona, and am flattered if you were addressing me! However that looks like Mermaid Merin's Mantis Shrimp tail; mine has a few things in common with it, yet is not done yet.

[NixieOona]

Oh im so sorry they look so similar I just assumed it was you !

[Rivertee]

First swim in my first tale was awesome!!

[MermaidMichelle]

You swim so well! I remember my homemade monofin was somewhat buoyant; I kept floating feet-first to the surface...lol

[Kishiko]

Yay kaguria!!! I'm so excited for you

[Rivertee]

Well the monofin in it is the foil but yea very bouyant

Thought I'd share this , finally got my tail in the mail
My first tail (now destroyed ) was a fabric the2tails tail so I don't have a photo for this thread

After cleaning up about a hundred packing Styrofoam peanuts I finally tried it on
Pleased to report it fits perfectly , the seams are sewn on nice and tight and the paint is decently painted on
Going to try it out in the pool today or tomorrow
