SHoW Us YoUR TaiLS THReAd!!!

[Fifi Tigg]

I'm attempting another fabric tail as we speak so she has one to take with us back to our home town in a few weeks, so she can swim in and around the jetty at Busselton, Western Australia. With all the hardship Lovely Steve has had over the past month or so I don't think Emily's fish-butt will be ready before we leave, but these things happen and it obviously wasn't meant to be

Well the tail did not go to plan but ended up a very cool cushion for my daughter

This is SO adorable, but I am curious to know...what went wrong that it couldn't be used as a tail?

Super stunning job Raven did on your tail

[Fifi Tigg]

When I was sewing it the material frayed a bit, I also sewed it too tight and it was just some old material I found in the cupboard so no $$$ lost I just lost all enthusiasm as it was late and very hot here!

So cute!! Kiddie mermaids are just the best.

Here's my tail, very simple. It's the first one I made back in the summer.

Really pretty! I have a tail almost exactly like that, fluke shape and all, but in bright orange! May I ask what was your method for adding fluke extensions?

[ShyMer]

I like the fluke shape. you seem to have fitted the fabric to it very well also. how does it hold its shape in the water? Also that is a gorgeous pool area you're in.

[Usagi]

I cut out the shape from cardboard, then wrapped it in black duct tape, painted the tape gold, then wrapped it in clear sealing tape, then used the sealing tape to stick it to the monofin. Unfortunately, I forgot to seal the sides, so the water got in and the cardboard got soggy lol but I was still able to swim in it!

[Usagi]

ShyMer- it actually holds its shape very well. But since it got soggy, it would flop over when I stuck it out of the water. Not that that's entirely a bad thing haha
The pool was at a fancy schmancy resort that I stayed at with my boyfriend's family. It was great!

What an ADORABLE mergirl tail!!! And I love the shimmery gold material choice for your tail, Sid!

This is me in my Fish Butts Ariel-style tail. It was an early edition of the Fish Butts tail and they no longer do the custom flukes like that, but I'm glad I bought it when I did because the shape of the fluke is EXACTLY what I wanted; Stephanie did a fintabulous job!

These pics were taken during a photoshoot I did for my sister's best friend, who was doing Halloween-themed Disney princess portraits, hence the scary faces, fading red paint on my face and the giant hook. The first 3 show off the tail pretty well, and the last one shows the finished best shot for the themed shoot.

Ahaha how cute!

My Fish Butt's (just got it yesterday!)

I love the colour of your Fish Butt, Seagirls. It's very natural looking and the fluke is beautiful.
