That's beautiful! Nicely done! May I use that as the wallpaper on my phone?

**Aysun_the_Mermaid** · 09-20-2015, 01:53 PM

Absolutely!
I am glad you like it

Thanks, Aysun! It goes perfectly with the ocean waves I changed my ringtone to!

**Sabrina the Selkie** · 09-20-2015, 08:05 PM

What medium did you use for it, Asyun? It looks to me like acrylic, but I can't tell for sure.

**Aysun_the_Mermaid** · 09-20-2015, 08:33 PM

It is oil paint. Wet on wet.

That was my second guess. Lol.
Really cool lookin'

**Aysun_the_Mermaid** · 09-20-2015, 08:58 PM

Thank you

(The second one was not so successful, but not too terrible)

Always is the way of things, ne?
Even so, it's clear you've got talent.

I got a great review from the preceptor at my practicum site! She told me to keep doing what I'm doing, and told my practicum liaison that I'm an excellent worker! I might get a job offer from this company!

I am recovering from being sick!

Also, I am getting better at not getting so easily stressed out about the copious amounts of college assignments.

I had a wonderful birthday week with my husband; new camera, new monofin, ziplining, cake, and a nice yummy dinner together. I also got a new job teaching at three different schools! I;m having a really happy week!

Ooh Arion they're gorgeous! Such pretty colours! Do you have a costume to go with them?

Actually, these aren't mine. I ordered the same style (Bee wings) but I chose these colors instead : light blue iridescent with silver veins

Like on these wings :

As for the costume, I'm gonna try to find something suitable. I'm still working on it.

**Mer-Crazy** · 09-22-2015, 04:26 AM

Okay so I had my first encounter with the public swimming today. I've taken my tails out swimming before but never really run into people and never kids. Today I was on the other side of a fairly popular creek (and I say 'the other side' because the side I was on is harder to access, whereas the other side to the one I was on is very easily accessed with a park and a boardwalk leading to the sand so that's where the families usually go) Since it was my first time out in a tail in over a year I was a little nervous so I wanted to find a slightly more secluded area. I put my tail on in the water and got to splash around for a bit, my mum took some photos for me. Next thing I know I look across the river (creek whatever) and I see this little girl pointing at me. Then more people, I eventually hear a lot of 'mermaid! Mermaid' but I was a little nervous so I stayed on my side of the creek (it's fairly wide so the kids weren't allowed to cross) and splashed my fluke around for them, waved a little. Eventually I worked up my courage and swam over... most of the way. I stayed in the deeper bit just away from them to act all shy and keep the mystery since I was worried they'd know it was a costume if they got a good look at my fabric tail. After a little while I swam back over to my side and stretched out on the beach in the sun. It was hilarious because the little girl who'd seen me first kept shouting 'come back mermaid!' it was so adorable and so why I want to do this forever <3

@Mer-Crazy

It's a lovely blue tail and it suits you. I think I recognize the style, is the tail from The2Tails?

Yeah I ordered it from 'Splash Tails' which is a lady who lives near me who is one of their disturbers she's absolutely lovely. I love the skin, but the fin is not designed for size 9 feet and the top is not designed for a D cup, so I had to wear my own top and bottoms
