ohh so excited to see the tails in action ^^

btw I'm only 1.000$ away from my tail so i hope i can order by the time around december.

Since everyone seems to be in attack mode, let me just clarify with this, these are two of the "mermaid" accessories she's sold in the past. And a matter of fact, I do make my own paint and paper, it's completely organic and biodegradable. Thank you

I kinda felt your comment to be attacking. I don't think anyone attacked you. Replied with their opinions and I replied with facts. But I also used it to springboard onto other issues I felt important to address. So if that came off as attacking I apologize.

FYI the two of you waiting for tails they are being sent today.

Yay! Thank you for the update!

Yay! Thank you for the update!

It wasn't even cuz I reminded her, it was already the plan. She had to deal with some rush orders and it gets tricky taking so many orders and gifts to the post office and not getting them mixed up. So excited for you both, can't wait to see them!

[Mer-Crazy]

I feel as if Phoenix Mermaid and I shall always share some kind of strange bond... Mermaids with their tails shipped at the same time. One mermaid of the Phoenix and one of the Moon and Stars... and this was a weird post and exactly why one should not do so right after waking up... <3

Eeekkk! I'm so freakin excited! Awh I feel like that too! <3 We're tail buddies lol
I think that sounded pretty cool though... "One mermaid of the Phoenix and one of the Moon and Stars"

Congrats ladies! Remember, we must see pics!

[Gem Stone]

what's Raven's choice?

[Phoenix Mermaid]

Oooo! Raven's choice is the option of having Raven completely design your tail. Color theme, extra fins, ect. She does it, and I think that it can be a surprise to you if you want.

[Anahita]

what's Raven's choice?

I actually think it's just that - giving Raven a picture of yourself and letting her make the choice/decision for you about the colors.


Whoops, Edit: Pheonix already answered that.

So happening! And videos too!

[Mer-Crazy]

@Phoenix- We shall have to meet up at some point, even though we are on opposite sides of the world! One day...

[Ariel-Starfish]

Hi everyone! I haven't been around quite dome time (2 weeks maybe?)

I have some new pictures from one month ago but haven't got the time to upload and/or editing them

Here's one of me and my nephew taking most of the pictures haha




@ Raina: Any news when my Ariel top and Glue is going to be send? Otherwise I'll send out an email It's been a few weeks scince Raven said it was nearly finished ^^

[Mermaid Kalliope]

Wow... uhm... I've been gone for a while. XD

I'm rapidly approaching my 120 day mark! The excitement is there, but not in full force. I haven't heard much from Raven regarding my tail, so I'm still in the dark. I know she's super busy right now, so I'm being a good fish and staying patient. :3 When I get to see pictures, you guys will definitely know!

Congrats girls on your tails shipping out! I, too, can't wait to see pictures and videos! It's all so very exciting!

As for the small but of drama that surfaced, my two clams is that artists come in different forms. Some make all of their materials, some are ingenuitive and are able to use materials they have found to make beautiful pieces of art. I know Raina said that Raven makes the "moulding" you mentioned, but even of she didn't, the girl was resourceful.

You can't expect every artist to make their medium. I'm an artist as well. I don't make my paper, brushes, pencils, etc. I can't. I don't know how and I don't have the money or resources to do so. I can't make the seashells I use for clips, but I can arrange them artistically and embellish them with other items I have purchased. Also, how can you expect a sculptor to make their own marble? Or a blacksmith make their own base metal? Or a wood carver to make their own wood? It just doesn't always work that way.

So, if you don't like her stuff, don't buy it, but please judge when you have facts from a reliable source.

/end rant

(Sorry, I kinda had more to say than I thought... Ehehe ^-^;

Please excuse me if I am completely clueless about this, but...

I was talking to Raven just yesterday about ordering a top, but now her shop on Etsy has disappeared, and I cannot see the listing or send messages. Anyone know what this is about, or any other way I can reach her? I tried messaging her on Facebook.

She's been super busy with rush orders, so yeah I'd send a friendly email reminder. She's trying hard to get everything organized and shipped out before the big move

She's had a problem with her etsy going down before I'll let her know!

so what if she did....no one is telling you "hey! BUY THIS AND BUY IT NOW!!!!! She makes pretty much everything else (that is made from silicone) from scratch. I don't think anyone else is that critical. Those tops look amazing regardless. And if you feel that because of her using a decorative piece of molding she is a terrible human being then I really think that's your problem and something the rest of us don't need to hear about.
If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all.

BTW guess what! she doesn't tie the netting by herself or craft sea shells or plastic plants. She gets them from a craft store! **GASP** SHOCK HORROR!!!!!!
