@ Arion- I got to meet and swim with her at one of our meet-ups. She's in the Coast Guard down here in Florida and from what I could gather it keeps her pretty busy. Although, you are right, I haven't seen her on in quite a while.

[MermaidAmestris]

Oh, the sea dragon tail! That's another of my favorites <3 lol, pretty obvious that I like blue tails

[MermaidMichelle]

Congratulations, Merley; I hope it is everything of which you dreamed!

I'm sorry that Mermaid Mechanic is kept too busy to offer photography of her swimming as the sea dragon (which was obviously a partial influence on my own top/tail), but somehow I feel better knowing that a mermaid is serving and defending our country....

...alright fine; YOUR country. However, Canadian though I may be, I say that now is the time to stand together!

[Mermaid Neri Elvina]

That's great Merley!!

Got an update email from Raven saying construction of my tail is done and she's going to begin attaching all the extra fins then paint. so excited.

[Ariel-Starfish]

I have not heard from Raven about my seaweed top. She said It would be finished any moment. But another month has passed. I don't know why, but I'm fine with it and knowing it's gonna be an amazing top anyway! Haven't seen pictures trough.

I am so sad I bought this gorgeous top from Raven last month when she was clearing stuff out and put a bunch of tops up for sale. It is built on a 36C bra, but b/c the shells are so large, I am thinking the cups can go bigger. I was worried it would be too big and unfortunately it is. It arrived today and is not only loose on my but the shells are just too massive for my frame. It is absolutely gorgeous and has so much detail and I am just heartbroken it doesn't fit. I am thinking I will need to sell it. Would anyone be interested? The shells are about 8-9 inches. I paid $262.65 which included shipping

Oh man, that is so freaking gorgeous! I seriously wish I was made of money.

Hey guys, mechanic here! Sorry, I have been a bit MIA but I've been silently stalking boards. Suspicions are correct, the Coast Guard has kept me very busy as I am in a very important leadership - transition phase that determines the direction of the rest of my coast guard career. I do plan to be active again this spring though, and maybe sooner if I catch a break in work! I feel slightly warm and fuzzy that I'm inquired about. ^_^

[MermaidMichelle]

*Salutes Mermaidmechanic* Carry on, then.

Do you guys think it would be ok to ask for an update after I got an email from raven in early November avout my tail just starting to be painted ?

[AniaR]

Yeah go for it.

I forgot to post this here:

So I have made the decision to receive my new tails during NCMerfest as opposed to having them mailed here to Halifax. While it's hard for me to go another month waiting, it is taking a chance to have the tails go through customs which can hold items for weeks with no guarantee that they will get to us in time. I will still have to pay shipping and custom fees, but far less than I would if it was mailed to Halifax. My mermazing merbrother Merman Christian is taking up the responsibility of letting me mail them to him in the USA and he will drive them to NCMerfest where I will film an EPIC unboxing with all of my close mer-friends. This means poor rapidash is being pulled from retirement for another month haha. We'll have a few gigs together, and one last photo/video shoot. So while we are also celebrating advent for Fishmas, I'll be celebrating advent for my tails and counting down the days hehe! I am SO lucky to have so many mermazing (as Linden calls it!) mer-friends and family. I am overjoyed to see them again.

Annika, I would say that you can certainly send an inquiry, but I've found that Raven emails or replies to inquiries only when she has something new to say. If you have a specification for your tail or an update on the paint scheme you want, by all means send it to her so she has it on hand for reference, but you aren't likely to hear from her until she's got new info for you about your painting stage. Also, didn't I read somewhere that you ordered in July? Did you order it as a rush tail?

[MermaidMichelle]

"Fishmas"? Is that some sort of Cult of Cthulhu? I thought you were a fellow Catholic....

Seriously though, that sounds amazing and I look forward to seeing it! Last night I was speaking to my friend Joanne and she restated her desire to have me speak in front of a couple thousand people in support of the LGBT Community at the Metropolitan Community Church's General Conference in 2016, which is in Vancouver, so I may have a shred of understanding of the joy of actually being near a place where I can swim in my upcoming tail! I mention this because it placed a question in my head: Will you or any of your mer-friends be wearing your new tails at NCMerfest?

As for Rapidash, let her remain forever testimony to the lasting quality of Raven's work; to think it's actually ​thinner than her average tail!

Isn't Christ the "Fisher of Men"?

[AniaR]

I'm pretty sure it's the thinnest silicone tail out there. I have to make her last for 3 more gigs and a photoshoot now though that's the only thing I am stressed about.

I'm sure if the Pope would let aliens into the church, he'd let us mers in, too

I wore that top for my photo shoot if anyone wants to see more pics they're on my facebook page
