Thread: Neoprene-Sequin-Silicone Hybrid Tails on the Market

  1. #1

    Neoprene-Sequin-Silicone Hybrid Tails on the Market

    Now that I've used my tail several times since it's completion, I've decided to try and get my name out there for commissioning tails. I've already had a few inquiries and started talking design with one or two. Now until, I get my Etsy shop, Myra's Menagerie, finished (just have to sort out the payment methods and such), I won't take any actual orders, for obvious legal/trust issues. But if you're actually interested I would be more than happy to start the designing process, plus if this goes on before ordering, it will make the entire process faster and smoother.
    I'm really excited about this as I've imagined seeing a tail of my creation on someone else, and hopefully an boxing video or two. Hehe
    Now! The tail details! Lol )
    I'll be selling tails that have a neoprene base, fully sequined (or however much you want covered, but the entire tail being sequined looks great, trust me haha), and entirely covered in a silicone coating. I hand-create the monofins from swim fins and Lexan sheets so they can be exactly the shape you want (it's how I made my own that I love). I also am very willing to go back and forth with you in the designing process and I love drawing so whatever ideas you may have I can totally draw things out and we can change stuff and make it perfect for you. <3
    As for pricing...:
    A basic tail that consists of: neoprene base, sequins (up to three colors), silicone, and a custom design and fluke shape will be $700.
    Extra Fun:
    General Idea of Additional Pricing:
    - 1 set of side fins: $30-50 (depending on size)
    - 1 dorsal fin: $20-30 (depending on size)
    - 1 set of ankle fins: $20
    - 1 set of pectoral fins: $20-35 (depending on size)
    - 1 set of calf fins: $30-50 (depending on size)
    - Glitter coat: $20
    - Vinyl: $50-70 (depending on coverage)
    - Blended waist: $20-25 (depending on detail and coverage)
    - Extra sequin colors: $15 per color added
    - Extra large fluke: $45 (my fluke is a Large fluke and the basic size, but can be made smaller if wanted)
    Measurements needed:
    - Shoe size
    - Circumference ... Starting at belly button, then every two inches down all the way to the ankles, including the ankles.
    ***If there is any other thing you'd like to include on your tail, let me know and I can give you an idea of extra charge. Things such as embedded belt, ankle bracelet thingy, or anything you may desire.
    **Please keep in mind that if it is required because of sizing of fluke and/or body of tail, more sequins, neoprene, and/or silicone may be needed. If this is the case, it is not much more of a charge, but to cover costs, it will increase a little bit, and I mean a little bit.
    *Buyer will need to cover shipping and handling costs.

    I'll attach some photos of my tail (that's NOT a basic tail as it has side fins, a dorsal, glitter, blended waistline, and vinyl) and would really love to design and make tails for other mers. <3

    I'll also be selling tops like the one in the pictures as well as sequined ones (like the one I made before this, there are some photos on my page haha) and accessories like belts, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, headpieces, hairclips, and scaling SFX kits. (And who knows, you might just happen to fins one in your package when it arrives... )

    So yeah. Any questions please feel free to get ahold of me. Thanks for checking this out loves! =D

    Depending on what "when" means, I'd love to start talking design.

    Awesome! Yes please do! Because I think I can even do something along the lines of instalment plans or payments and such. And if you are going to order, doing the designing before hand is always better. Can't wait to hopefully hear back. <3

    Due to some financial changes in some areas of this tailmaking, I believe I'm needing to more up the cost a bit. Not too outrageous, but for a basic tail, I think it will now be $700 instead of 6. I'm sorry for any inconvenience, but rest assured you will get what you're paying for and more! *wink wink*
