My tail arrived! I got the Ariel turquoise from Magictail.de. I really like the shape of the monofin and the scale pattern. However, I was disappointed in how the heel sticks out so very far on it. Does anyone have a fix for that?

Now that I've got the monofin I'd like to make my own fabric tail over it, with much more detail work on it. I'm being ambitious for my first home-made tail, but I've got high hopes!

[Little_Orca]

Miami -- You could add a dorsal fin that runs along the back and ends up and over the heals to help with that in your next tail. You can also look into adding ankle fins and other aquatic accessories to help with that disguise. The heal being that pronounced was one of two things I did not like about that tail company, but in general their tails look good.

Everymer such lovely tails!

Here are a couple of pics of my first homemade fabric tail, which I just finished: These were taken at MerPalooza, which was my first test run. I'm happy with it for sure, but I'm getting ready to start designing a Fish Butts tail to have a more realistic one on hand (er, on legs, as it were).

[Sea Specter]

Wow! That's very intricate, WavyMermaidy, how long did it take to make?

[Stephanie Sims]

That's really beautiful!

[Little_Orca]

Beautiful work.

[Mermaid Annariea]

the colors remind me of a peacock tail, wavy!

[WavyMermaidy]

Thanks guys so much!

maniacalmacchiato: I think I started it in May (if memory serves), and didn't get to work every day but tried to as much as possible. All the scales required 3 coats of paint to get the look I wanted (after much initial trial and error) so that's really what took the longest.

Brianna: I'm glad that's what you are reminded of, b/c peacock feathers were the inspiration for the color scheme!

[WavyMermaidy]

Very pretty Ariel...I just saw your tail on Fish Butts' FB page the other day b/c I am going to order one from them and want sortof a tie-dye look, and Stephanie there told me to check yours out as kind of an example of one that she's done. Looks beautiful

I do not believe that is Raina's mermaid tail . Raina's tail was made by Mermaid Raven and The tailmaking both is Merman Jesses

[Mermaid Lorelei]

The tail is actually called Raina's Tail. It was originally made for Raina.

[NerineArcticMermaid]
