I suppose I should add my tails here huh.
Here's my steampunk tail...
Everything was handmade, even the insides, the rivets and cogs with the exception of the store bought corset, the goggles and the necklace. It's made of micro-suede and a leather type fabric. All hand stitched and my fingers were killing me by the end of it! I'm sure I could swim in it but for obvious reasons, because of the material, I wouldn't chance it.
And here's my modified hoop skirt tail...
I wanted a tail that I could walk around in since I attend many conventions and events in the New England area and sometimes being immobile isn't an option. I also wanted to be able to change tops around to make different mermaid looks. For instance, purple shell top with red hair....Ariel. This actually got started because people were pestering me to dress up as Ariel. Anyways if I wanted, say a pirate look, I could easily throw on some pirate gear from the waist up plus a hat and I could be a Pirate Mermaid. You get the picture.
Ok so that's it for now. I am working on a few others but nothing really pic worthy just yet.
