Wow, scrolling through this thread is awesome! It's a great eye opener for all the different materials and it's fun to see who different mers express themselves with the colors/patterns/designs they choose =D Thanks for sharing, everyone!

I absolutely adore the mertailor's koi design.

This is a silly picture of me trying to look evil (does it work? haha! I think I look more like I'm in pain! XD ) in my black tail.
I sewed/painted it in one night in a rush, because my pink one was getting a bit old ><;

Oh my Gawd. Your tail is gorgeous! The gold and black together, I love it! Is that rainbow black fabric? It's like an oil slick! where did you find that?

Hopefully a good design for me new silicone tail

What a lovely design! (says the mer who isn't crazy about pink ) I'm sure it will look fintastic on a silicone tail!

[Mer_Adella]

I'm hoping so, I sent her the drawing and said "sorry about the crappy drawing" and she was like so shock that it htought it was crappy. She's going to work on it a little tho....as long as it is pink and orange its ok...

and i dont like pink either but for some reason my mer-self likes it

this is my blog spot i am not sure why (probably because they are too big) but this is where you can see my first swim in my fabric tail

I wanted to post my work-in-progress Jesse (Mermaid Creations) tail. I'm so excited I'm about ready to burst. I should have it by Halloween and I will post a full review and updated pictures then. But here's what the tail looks like so far! The concept for the tail was something Ursula themed. It will have heel fins on the back too. I'm hoping to get plenty of octopus style accessories to go with it (I have a pair of earrings on the way!). Waiting for your first silicone tail is killer! I keep counting the days!

Ursula themed? Wow, what a brilliant idea. Maybe you should have ordered tentacles instead of a fluke ;-) I wonder if anyone ever can create Ursula tentacles of silicone...

Tentacles would be awesome. But I don't think I could swim in them. But I'm sure you could create a costume look with silicone tentacles.

Mer Adella, that tail is SO gorgeous. I LOVE it. The way the fluke is in the water is so gorgeous.

I was actually shocked at how it looked in the water. while swimming you really can't see too much of where the monofin ends. which is good. and the sequins take on a blue/purple hint in the water. which is funny considering i only used pink sequins. THANK YOU

The silicone is pigmented. The only fabric in the tail is a mono fin sock which covers the blade to protect the silicone from the fin. Once I get the tail put together, I will be giving it a bath to get the mold release off the silicone, then give it the slimy look.

Hope to have this tail finished by Monday!
