    Also, Raven just surprised the hell out of me.

    For my birthday as a gift she made me ANOTHER tail, so I could use it for the gigs that are harder on my tail. (like dry gigs). It's a FRANKEN tail meaning it is made 100% from left over pieces of bad mold pulls. Recycled/up cycled. Stuff that clients wouldnt/didnt want. But she painted it like mad and it looks freaking amazing! I'll post a pic of that one when she watermarks one and finishes it, and I'll post a pic of my main new one when she finishes it too. YOU WOULDNT EVEN BELIEVE THE SECOND ONE IS A FRANKEN TAIL IT LOOKS SO GOOD.

    It really makes me feel relieved, because I was never expected Rapidash to take such a beating this year. I am already saving for another tail because I knew once I get Flareon (the name I have for the new one) that it'll be put through the ringer. With the amount of work I do the whole reason I bought flareon was to have 2 tails I could rotate. But now flareon is replacing rapidash because rapidash is ready to be retired. So yeah anyway I have beensuper stressed out about my company and my new tail is heavy with a floppy fluke and I worry about the fins and stuff etc. And I worry about the stress of dry gigs that we do. Now I have a wet tail and a dry tail and it'll also fit mermaid mutiny so I can get her doing some stuff in it too.

    This is her gift to me as a friend for my birthday and if any of you have followed my raina mer fb it has been a difficult birthday. I spent part of in the hospital, lost someone who I thought was a friend because they attacked another friend online and I tries to resolve it, and a few other things just kinda made it hard.

    But today I did a gig and the little girl was amazing and loving, and I came home to this, and my heart is just so filled I feel like it could burst.

    I am going to do my best to pay this forward to someone else, some how! You've never lived til you've done something for someone who can never repay you and I feel like Raven did that just now for me. I never in a million years expected this. I was so happy just with seeing photos of my new tail on my birthday. It makes my birthday present to her look not quite as amazing hahah (her birthday is one week after mine)

    So yeah, this pic is a sneak peek of the tail I ordered. It'll be finished up this week, shipped out next week. I will post a pic of the franken tail when it's finished and watermarked. You'll be blown away by the paint job. It's obviously similar to what I already have, but it's so good it just makes the tail look like a real full performance tail.

    Man I am like shaking with excitement lol

    Oh wow, Raina, that tail is fantastic. what an incredible surprise! Happy birthday!

  13. #4753
    I am hoping this means my tail is coming shortly. I know you ordered your tail in June. I ordered my tail July 10th not sure if there is anyone between us. Either way congratulations that's very exciting news. I can't wait to see your tail.


    AND OMG Raina! That's an awesome tail. I am very glad your birthday ended on such a high note. Raven could not have given this gift to a better person. Happy Birthday Raina! =)

    Mine was ordered on 2nd July but I don't have any of my sketches done nor measurements sent off, so I doubt my tail is anywhere near as far along as Annika is. However I am also aware mine has a new technique incorporated into it, so it will take longer to be ready than normal

    Mermaid Selene, thanks for commenting. It's nice knowing how many are in front of me. It's nice watching everyone get their tails because it gets me pumped for mine and also let's me feel one step closer. =) I ordered tops in December/January. She finished them at the end of June/beginning of July. Which is when she confirmed on making me a tail. My tail is going to match the color theme. She's still holding on to them for reference. I can't wait to see the finished product, as I love my tops.

    I've been folloIng your IG and seen your pictures in the hospital. Sending warm hugs to you Raina! Your new tail looks freaking AMAZING and I can't wait to see the Franken tail!! Ymu are blessed to have Raven as a close friend! <3

  17. #4757
    Yes, mermaid Selene I ordered mine on June first and got an email last week that mine is done but needs to be painted still. She also said I would be getting pictures really soon.
