There was an article in the paper today about the park/beach where I'm going to get married, and the article also talks about Annette Kellerman! The juxtaposition just made me happy

If you do, try swimming at the Azure Window. It's worth the drive!

I just finished the final concept sketch of my logo!!
Playing with it in Photoshop, intending to just clean up the line drawing before making a vector from it, I ended up with this awesome carved-in-stone version just for fun.



The watermark is just for intellectual property purposes, and won't be on the final logo design. I'm also going to clean up her trident a bit more, too
Also; I have enough saved after my tax refund, for a hefty down-payment on my Finfolk tail!

Pretty!

[Mermaid Freyja]

Thank you Sabrina!
I wanted something that looked like it was an ancient engraving, found carved onto a runestone.

I have been lacking in my ability to finish up the Emerald Queen tail I am working on since my sewing room is in the process of moving which has spiked my anxiety, so I have been crocheting mermaid dolls instead. I finished one last night (Well, at 4 am) and have sent her out as a gift to another mermaid.

I often crochet to deal with my anxiety and depression, and giving away a mermaid that helped me through a rough spot to someone as a gratitude gift makes me feel good.


I called her "Sea Foam" because of her color, but her owner has the option of renaming her, of course.

That logo is really beautiful!

I love to crochet too. I made a mermaid tail for myself as well as a mermaid tail blanket. This doll is beautiful! Do you share the pattern?

I know I rarely post anything here, am more of a lurker, but I thought I should probably share this, I've been taking weekly swimming lessons since early January. Despite the timing this wasn't a new year resolution thing, was just how things worked out. I couldn't swim at all but had no fear of the water, way back in the day when I went on holiday with the parents I'd happily walk out into the sea until I was almost neck deep, seems stupid now but when you are a kid you feel almost indestructible right? So why did I never learn? Well never could find the incentive and my friends were more into gaming than going to the pool so I never saw the point. Fast forward a few decades and I find this community which I almost instantly fell in love with, and that's when I realised, if I'm to at least try swimming like a mer, I need to be able to swim as a human. So that's how I ended up taking these lessons, and how are they going? Rather well to be honest. I'm at the point where I do better without a float as I find it gets in the way. I'm definitely the fastest of the group and can do the entire length of the beginners pool (13 meters) on one breath. Began backstroke without floats at the end of the last lesson and again outpaced everyone else. However there is one thing I do need to work on, and it is a big one, breathing. Really having trouble synchronising everything when swimming face down, I get what I have to do, it's just doing it without becoming a unsynchronised mess. Pretty sure this is one of those things I'll suddenly get and everything will click into place. So am I liking being in the water, hell yeah, for now I want to get good enough to go goof about in the deep end of the main pool. Will I end up confident enough to try a mer tail, who knows, time will tell I guess. But for now, I probably wouldn't be at this point if I hadn't found this wonderful community.

So apparently, a friend of mine who lives about a 20-30 minute drive from me was at the pool not that long ago and someone was there swimming in a mermaid tail! Which means there's a pool on the island that hasn't completely banned them! It's a fair ways away from where I live, but I might just be desperate enough to try to work out some way of getting out there at least once or twice to practice in my tail.

One of my best friends just got a new bathing suit for herself, another's planning on picking up another soon, and I've just gotten a new bikini for myself... We're gonna look into it over the next week, might call the pool and ask about it (or at least, one of my friends will; I'm really, really awful with talking on the phone, oops).

Fingers crossed. ;w;

I just found out there's mermaids at the Arizona Renaissance Festival now. Is it anyone here? Because I'M COMING TO SEE YOU TOMORROW!
