I SWAM IN A REAL TAIL FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY.

[Ashe]

Congratulations!!!! Wishing you many more

[saborigakusei]

Thanks Kalani! I loved it, now I'm suuuper motivated to make my own so I can swim in one all the time! ;D

[Ashe]

Go for it! Making tails isn't nearly as hard as it may seem, just start with the basics Good luck ~

[Mermaid Alea]

I second what Kalani said! Making your first tail is fairly easy, but once you make your second tail you will definitely have most of the construction down.

Today I started working on an animation I am doing for my motion graphics class. The animation is going to have a mermaid in it! It makes me feel better doing something mer related since I haven't been able to go swimming.
Here was my original concept art, but then my teacher told me that I should go with a simpler style to match the animation since I can't animate like a pro haha.

I just passed my first payment threshold for AdSense payments.

I'm still only a 10th of the way to getting ACTUALLY paid, but I'm still really pleased!

So I found out a couple of weeks ago that there's another mermaid on the island! I'M NOT ALONE!! Once I finished the initial freakout over it, I actually decided to message her on Facebook. You know, in that awkward way I tend to do... I'm kind of like a really excitable terrier that starts jumping around and losing its shit when it sees another dog. HI I SEE YOU'RE A MERMAID I TOO AM A MERMAID YOUR TAIL IS PRETTY LOOK AT MINE WANNA BE MERMAIDS TOGETHER AND BE BEST MERMAID FRIENDS?????

.... I don't know how to meet new people.



BUT YEAH, we've been bouncing messages back and forth on FB and she wants to go swimming together sometime!!

I'm trying to keep my cool and not be weird about it but it's like

Seeing her replies on FB:


Geeking out at my boyfriend over it:


When no one's around to judge me:


She's gonna be out of town for a few weeks, but she wants to go swimming together when she gets back. I'm SCREECHING inside and I'm so excited I can't cope. ;w;

SOMEONE SEND HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING

[Sabrina the Selkie]

That's really exciting, Tieri!!!!! ♡
Good luck!

Anyway, I spent a day rockclimbing in a huge facility and orienteering in the woods. Because high school GYM classes have field trips now.

And then, on the bus ride back, I pulled out my tarot deck, and the boy next to me pulled out his and we compared. It was AWESOME.

Yay rock climbing and tarot! Two of my favorite things on dry land!

[Sabrina the Selkie]

Right?!
It was awesome. And finding out that someone else I know brings a tarot deck wherever they go.

Having SO much fun right now! My darling husband offered to clean out our Hoarders style garage in order to make space for my mermaiding projects a couple of weeks ago. All my supplies were in a few crates; I'd get them out, monopolize the dining room table then have to pack up whatever project every night.
Today he did it and he hung mermaid art all over the garage! I have a work space, and proper lighting, and storage!
My daughter: You have a woman cave!
Hubby: She has a Mermaid cave.
Daughter: A mermaid grotto!

And thus my space was named.

They're the best. Now I'm out in my mermaid grotto playing my pirate music and happily sorting and cataloging a zillion shells, sequins, sea glass, etc...having the best time!!
Feeling blessed.

Slowly redoing my bedroom into a mermaid room! Yesterday I tie dyed a duvet cover and shams to go with my room. It turned out perfect! It looks amazing in my room!
