Merbellas Thread

Raven is so amazing. I hope she feels better soon!!

[Ariel-Starfish]

she was working on tails in bed. No lie. lol

I think we should chip in to buy them a vacation away from all things tail making, not just a get-well-basket =/ She's going to keep getting ill if she works like that =(

[Mermaid Pickles]

That would be an awesome thing to do. Though, I'm not sure how we'd all fund it....But if someone can come up with a way to do it, I'd chip in, even though I'm states away, and don't even have a merbellas tail (Want one though. In a few years. )

Just got an update from Raven. She is such a sweetheart. My tail has been built in just a month (I put rush order on it) and shes is going to try and paint It next week. So excited!! But at the same time I told her to rest, her health is way more important than a tail.

Did you order a performance or basic tail?
I'm so curious, can you show us your design or is it a secret?

I order performance with the angler fluke and Ill try to post it..I know I have a thread with it somewhere...if not its in my albums

[MerEmma]

WOO! I'm excited for you and glad you heard from her finally! Can't wait to see your design done. <3

[Mermaid Varshana]

Wait...is she taking new orders, or was that from the last wave she took?

[MermaidHyli]

Mine was probably one of the last she took especially because I put a rush on it..kinda need it for my honeymoon in belize. I mean thats some quality photo ops right there

My countdown says 20 days from now.... 0_0 *EXITED MODE ON*

Talked to Raven today! She sent me pics and we discussed some color tweaks Basically one of the colors I wanted for my tail refused to work (wouldn't show up at all on top of the other colors, no matter how she tried) so we discussed it and she's going to try a different alternative. I was a little sad cause it was that gorgeous turquoise color I fell in love with on some other tails she'd done, but if it won't work it won't work. She gave me a great alternative that I'm really excited to see how it turns out

I absolutely love that she talks to her customers and works out any changes they want- and she's so professional about it! I know personally if I had spent hours and hours working my butt off on something then someone asked me to change it I'd be hurting or frustrated. But she's very receptive to feedback, which to me makes a huge difference. She knows that this is people's hard earned money on the line and she wants it to be perfect for them. Where others would get hurt at feedback she takes it and works with it, which is just awesome.

So I just wanted to share that with you all, and to let you know she's really awesome at taking feedback. She told me she knows it's a lot of back and forth sometimes, but to her it's better to have all that than just saying that it's done and shipped and have a customer get a less than perfect tail. So if you order from her and get pics, don't be afraid ask about changes.

[MerEmma]

Woo! I'm happy to hear that. I can't wait to see your tail.

[WavyMermaidy]

Awesome! It's so nice to hear that she communicates so well with her customers

[AniaR]

She's such a perfectionist too haha. My tail was supposed to arrive to her on Friday but it didnt been in transit for 6 days despite paying money to make sure it got to her by Friday. Boooo. It's not the same as waiting for a NEW tail, but I'm really excited to have mine taken in hahaha

[Arella]

I'm so excited for my tail she said my tail would ship out May 3 though but she hasn't responded to my email with my address and I haven't gotten any info on how to pay for shipping, do you guys think I should email her again?

[Ariel-Starfish]

I'm so happy for you all! But still waiting for my tail info, retaking mesurmants etc.
I messaged her on her FB but my page is doing weird :/ My messages to other peoples pages doesen't show up. Neither my profile picture.

[AniaR]

I know she's still sick in bed, and was even painting in bed, lol. So I think she's probably working hard on the existing tails before checking emails. Hopefully you'll all hear back soon! I'm so excited for all of you!
