Yay, the pictures Raven sent finally came through! I can't wait to have my bracers<3

Yay I'm happy for you!

Can't wait to have a responce of when my tail gets shipped

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Raven is so awesome. Sometimes I'm super happy for her that her business is a success and she can perform. Then sometimes I feel so bad because she really could use a vacation. I hope things slow down a bit after summer. :-)

[Ariel-Starfish]

It's been so quite down here....

Any news?

[Mermaid Lorelei]

There's this little cutie.

[Mermaid Kalliope]

I really hate to say this about something Raven made, but I don't like it. :-/ I dunno why. Maybe a different angle would change my mind? *shrugs* I saw it on instagram and I wasn't all that excited about it.

[ShyMer]

I'm not sure about that one either... is it supposed to be modeled after a particular kind of ray? I guess it's trying to be a particular shape top, but not one I would have chosen. I think there's something Idon't like about the head shape, too. Maybe another angle would be better.

[Carolina Mermaid]

Not my favorite.

[Blondie]

Kinda strange because, wasn't Hyli making this in June?

And she even said...

After such a huge success with my silicone shell top I decided to try my hand at some others. I have a customer who would like starfish so that is one of my next adventures and I will do my best not to copy Raven but I was thinking about the mers who are a little more modest?

Just kinda... Funky, you know?

[MermaidHyli]

I'm just gonna put this in here that I did talk to Raven about it. She was very calm and sweet about it. We each have our own design and they are many fish in the sea. I guess it doesnt really.matter on who did it first or made it better its two different tops for different people I think her stingray top is cute. I wanted to do something more realistic and modest because I've read on this network people wanting more modesty so I figured I would give it a try. Dont wanna cause any drama just letting people know me and raven are on good terms about this she is my tail maker after all

[Ariel-Starfish]

Sorry to interrupt but....MY TAIL SHIPS OUT TOMORROW!!!! AAAAARGH SO HAPPY!!!!

[AniaR]

I've actually been bugging raven for a year to make a stingray top so I could buy it lol. As for things being quiet she's just been working so hard on orders.

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Sorry to interrupt but....MY TAIL SHIPS OUT TOMORROW!!!! AAAAARGH SO HAPPY!!!!

Yay! Congrats, Ariel! I got a peek at what my fluke will look like fleshed out. ;-P Wish I was in Florida this weekend to see it in person. Heehee. It's so pretty!!!

[Ciesl2ja]

Congrats on your tail shipping out! I do like the eagle ray top, it is very unique. I think I would like to see a seahorse top made...

[MerEmma]

My bracers just arrived! I'll post pictures sometime. :3 They're great, though! =D

[AniaR]

Yay Emma,

Also, MERBELLAS ARE OFF DOING A GIG AND WONT BE IN THE OFFICE TIL MONDAY SO IF YOU MESSAGE YOU'RE JUST GETTING ME AND I AM BUSY WITH GIGS ALL WEEKEND TOO AND CANT SPEED UP YOUR ORDER. lol. Just saying.

[MerEmma]

I've got a question about silicone.

With my bracers, I've been wearing them as every-day wear. I plan to rinse them out after swimming of course but I'm also curious about dish soap--is there any sort of issue with it and touching the silicone? I don't want to wear it down faster and thus far I've avoided contact but I'd like to know for certain.

[MerEmma]

Hehe, sorry about the double post there. :b





Seams! They look perfect this time, haha. I love them<3

\

[Mizuko]

They DO look perfect! I love those scales <3

[MerEmma]

I love them too! Raven made the scales smaller so they're less likely to pull apart or get ripped, and they have a better stretch (my hand is eight inches and my wrist is six and a half, I don't know if that's average difference though :P).

[WavyMermaidy]

Awesome! So glad you got them and they are better this time around
