My tutorial eBooks, printable patterns, and scale sheets, have been moved back to Gumroad. Patreon's change to their shop feature has been a bit unfortunate so hopefully this will work a bit better. (I haven't removed anything from the Patreon shop yet. Soon!)

The gorgeous @queenarielle.bsky.social wearing my Crimson Kiss "Shellusion" Merfolk Top with their beautiful fabric tail by Finfolk. I love how this top looks with this tail! I am also super pleased with how the little fins on the top look too! They were difficult to place on the design. #shellusion

My new tripod arrived and I think it's going to work out really well! I did a little test showing off one of the new arm fin styles that will be arriving in the shop soon!

This was my studio space back in 2016. Sometimes a little reminder of how far you've come can be helpful in finding a little gratitude. The space I have now is something I used to dream about back in 2016 when I was literally working in my kitchen and on the floor. 💜

I found two more from that 2017 session where I turned the life drawing model into a mermaid. I just couldn't help myself and sometimes when the inspiration strikes you just have to roll with it.

I used to love to go to our local (at the time) life drawing club and turn the models into mermaids. This is something I'd love to do again one day!

These drawings were done back in 2017 which honestly feels like it was just yesterday. :')

I would like to improve my lighting set up for filming/taking photos in my studio if anyone has any recommendations?
January 30, 2026 at 5:17 PM
My new tripod might arrive today which is exciting because it will hopefully allow me some more flexibility with my filming angles. I'm looking forward to experimenting! If it's a success, I will absolutely report back and let you know!

Updated my portfolio today with this pastel tail made for the FINIS Luna Eclipse. The Eclipse is a fantastic option for those looking for a lightweight, comfortable fin that travels well. It's neutral silhouette is also fantastic for tail making. #mermaidtail

I made a new banner for my Patreon this morning! The tails in the image are all custom orders plus the one I made for myself (the blue/green tail). www.patreon.com/cw/vancouver...

As I've been going through an organizing some files I've found a few that really sparked some fun memories. This was the first Avatar-inspired mermaid tail I made. It was a custom order for a client back when I still did the open-bottom flukes. #mermaidtail

Tackling some sewing in the studio today! These are arm fins that you can wear in and out of the water. I make them to your custom measurements when you place an order, but I like to pre-stitch everything else in preparation!
