As most of you know, I have silicone tail in the works by Merman Jesse of Mermaid Creations Inc. Every few weeks he has been updating me on the status of my tail. I wanted to give him a shout out here on my blog and let everyone know just how amazing he is as an artist. He has been incredibly easy to work with, and he is extremely talented when it comes to tail making. Go like his Facebook page: www.facebook.com/mermaidcreationsbymermanjesse and check out his website: www.mermaidcreations-inc.com. He has the highest quality silicone tails at the best price. On top of that, he's an incredible artist. I gave him a design idea, and he ran with it and has created something truly amazing. I can hardly wait to debut the tail!
Here are some pictures of my tail in progress:
This is the cast of the fluke, along with the monofin. He's covered it in a thick canvas cover to protect the silicone from the fiberglass monofin. The monofin that is in this tail is a Finis Competitor.
Here's the silicone that has been poured in the mold.
Starting to come together!

It's mostly assembled. Looks like we're just waiting for some paint!
I'm hoping that very soon I will be able to update with the finished tail! Thanks Jesse, you are AMAZING!
Oh I did think up a question love. Would the sock on the monofin create drag, or collect water?
ReplyDeleteNope! No drag. :) The monofin and tail are actually sealed together. So I cant change out monofins. And since it will be watertight the cloth shouldn't even get wet. :) That being said this was his prototype design for the monofin, so who knows!
