I’m a little late for #FinFriday - I might just have to start calling these #SirenSaturday since it takes me that long to get around to posting. :)

This tail is the Winding River Guppy from #Mertailor.

I’m running a little late for #FinFriday but I did have a good #mermaid swim this morning. (And yes, this is the same tail from last week.) I’m so lucky to have an aquatic center near me that allows monofins - I’ll be able to mermaid all winter long.

Happy #FinFriday - This was my first swim with the new silicone fin from @mertailor inside a tail. Today was a hard swim - it’s a struggle getting used to less propulsion, forcing myself to slow down, relax into the motion of a dolphin kick instead of trying to be a speed racer.

Happy #FinFriday ! Today was my first swim with my new silicone fin from @mertailor and I *love* it. You don’t get as much propulsion as you would with a hard fin, but you do get some - it’s a pretty easy adjustment.

The thing that made me happiest was discovering that I’ve been wrong about myself.

I finally have my first silicone fin!

This is the Fantasea (1) from @mertailor in Flamingo Pink. I’ve used a Linden since getting started two years ago, and it’s great for propulsion, but it’s just too buoyant.

It’s taken me so long to get to this point - learning about sculpting, figuring out how to make a two-part mold.

This is the first time I’ve played with pigmenting #dragonskin - I still need practice, but I’m finally getting close - I can manage buoyancy and still look like a #mermaid 😁

I did swim this morning, but I didn’t get video, so here’s a clip from a few weeks ago, taken by a friend at a local swim event.

The tail is the Crimson Koi elite from Fin Fun, and the top is the Fire Koi swim top from shopvancouvermermaid.com

Happy #mermaiding!

Happy #FinFriday - I’m in the Sea Dragon Atlantis #mermaid tail from finfunmermaid.com and a rash guard from finfolk.com 🐠🐟🐡

Yesterday was another #FinFriday at my local aquatic center. It was a tough week for me physically, so I opted for the ease and comfort of my Fin Skin and matching leggings from https://shopvancouvermermaid.com/

Shortly after I made this clip, this #monsterclay sea urchin was lost to a failure in the mold-making process. :lolsob: But I can rebuild and try again.

(I know sea urchins don’t have suckers, I was just having fun with the embellishments.)

It’s another #FinFriday! This morning I wore this pink tail from finfunmermaid.com, modified by me to add some chiffon bits at the ankles (to camouflage the bumps from my Linden straps) and tulle at the hips (as makeshift pectoral fins).

Finished #mermaid crown!

The base is the coral set from @idfabrications. It’s covered in pearls and rhinestones, clusters of tiny blue starfish with rhinestone accents, and strands of seafoam blue sequins. And it’s swimmable!

Did you know that we know less about the sea than we do about space? With this comic, we explore some of what scientists do know about Earth's ocean.

It’s #mermaid Friday at the aquatic center!

I do this every Friday morning and it gives me a chance to practice some basic skills, like my dolphin kick, turns and corkscrews, managing buoyancy, and graceful movements with my arms. 😁

Hello Skylight! I’m a hobbyist #mermaid who never seems to get much video of myself swimming. 😄 My friend Kris got this clip of me at a recent swim event at Occidental College, but most of what I post will probably be related to costume creation or mold-making.
