Thanks Elodea! I feel your pain!Originally Posted by Elodea the Mermaid
That's why I wanted something sleeker too. Yes I am planning on selling these and would love to make one for you! I want to test drive this thing first and make sure it is viable and not just pretty to look at first. I will keep you posted.
Fantastic tail! This is becoming a strong consideration for if/when I upgrade from my fabric tail. It seems like a viable sort of option for a smooth surface dolphin/whale like tail too. Although your fluke is SO gorgeous and truly fish-like! It reminds me of the spiny dorsal fin on the rock bass I use to catch as a child.
Awwww thanks KayNS! I wanted something really fishy. You are really "hooked" on that whale/dolphin thing, aren't ya?! hahaha! Yes, it would be excellent for that kind of finish!
I'm divided, I love the colourful fishy fins that I see, but I also love the idea of a smooth fin. Your hybrid is stunning and captures a lot of what I like. (Including GLITTER!) The sparkly burlesque side of me is also loving all the sequin tails I'm seeing. Luckily I've just started with my very first tail, so I have a while to decide what my next one will be.

Why thank you, Nerissa! That would save me a lot of time putting up my tree this year. Maybe I'll just stuff it and prop it up in a corner with a spot light on it!

Now I'm picturing giant kelp festooned with shells and mini-tails in a living room corner...Why not? It's what I do with mine!
Great, I have been lurking on this thread for ages trying to think of something clever and useful to contribute, and now all I can think of is how much I need a mermaid fluke shaped menorah. Thank you Nerissa, Keiris, PearlieMae, and Celaeno, you've all ruined my chance to sound significant.
Oh, and thank you Keiris for basically revolutionizing tailmaking. I hope that you and others who follow in you and Seavanna's footsteps aren't all completely swamped with orders by the time I'm up for buying an advanced tail. Because when I am, this is the style I want.
Fancy a cup of mermaid tea?
really looking forward to seeing how well this swims!
Beautiful!! This turned out so much nicer than the painted spandex tail I made for my kid...I'll have to up my game. Challenge accepted!!

Ok honestly, this tail is one of my favorites I have ever seen and that includes ALL the full silicone tails made by the professionals. Your's just has so much depth and detail in the coloring even though it is quite subtle.

Last time I checked in on this thread you had just posted pictures of the fluke. Oh wow, it came out lovely!
Once you test it out and see if it's reasonably durable, I would definitely consider ordering my next tail from you.

I think it could be neat, and would be happy to take this discussion to its own thread if you're interested. I've even sketched a very crude concept.Fluke shaped menorah, eh? Hmmmmmm
We can call it a Mernorah!

Ciriun, I love it! The "Mernorah." That is absolute GOLD!!! hahaha I can actually picture that design in my mind. I don't have any skills at metallurgy but it most certainly could be cast from resin or polyclay! That might be an amusing project!
I would be honored to create a hybrid tail for you whenever you are ready!

Lynsea, that is such a HUUUUUUUGE compliment! I am very flattered. Thank you.
Aww, thank you! I'd be honored for the chance to buy one. But as I've only just had my first fabric tail swim it'll be awhile before I'm ready for anything more expensive/restrictive/care intensive.
Also, here is my Mernorah topic for anyone interested! http://mernetwork.com/index/showthre...iday-stuff!%29

Gorgeous tail and the waist belt is a great idea.
