Big Shop Update, 7 NEW Shellusions Design & eBook!

Hey friends and fishes!

The first update for 2023 is now live over on www.ShopVancouverMermaid.com and it includes 6 all new Shellusion Merfolk Top designs plus one returning design (with some modifications) as well as my brand new Pose Guide for Merfolk PFD!

I opted to start us off with all the base shells I plan on offering moving forward (of course I may add to this list in the future) in super neutral/natural colours to make these tops work with multiple mermaid looks.

I think the Nixie design is probably my favourite and I may have to order one for myself! 😅

After this update you can expect to see some new variations in shell colours with with new decorations and details (like different starfish, shells, pearls, gems, etc.).
Picture
As far as the eBook goes, this has been a little side-project of mine for a while now and it's actually something I've felt like I've needed on days when I need a little inspo.

So I went through SO MANY photos and videos and broke down my routine as well as all of my go-to poses and classified them into three main groups. I included examples as well as tips, PLUS my actual pose routine to give you a starting-off point.

This is meant to be used on your phone/on the go and is the perfect thing to hand to your photographer so that they know what you are looking for and they know what they can ask of you as well.

I hope you all find it helpful! 💖

That's it for this update and I look forward to getting started on the next one!

Happy Swimming!

Tail Orders and Fin Skin Production Problems

Though this photo isn't necessarily related to today's vlog I just had to share it because I'm so thrilled with how this shot came out! 😍

This week's vlog is actually from April 11th and 12th but because I took time off for my birthday I did get a bit behind on editing.

As of Friday the 22nd, the fin skins have been printed and I can't wait to see them in person. I will be sure to do another update video when I have them and can show how they turned out!
Back in my mermaid studio making the final mermaid fin skin prototype (running into problems), and cutting out mermaid tail orders in this week's studio vlog!
Thank you so much to those of you who are always patient and supporting me as I work through all of the curveballs life throws my way. As I'm typing this (on April 22nd) I have actually completed all of the previous tail orders (short of those on the Standby Queue who have yet to get me their measurements) and I am finally starting to feel the weight lift from my shoulders. 💖

I am very much looking forward to this next chapter and I am really looking forward to finalizing things for the next series of tails and fin skins that I will be making available in the shop.

Wishing you a MERmazing week and I will chat with you all again soon!

Happy Swimming!

Hello my fishes and welcome back to another blog post and vlog!

I am absolutely thrilled to say that the latest shop update/launch of my new mermaid fin skins was a big success and with this success I do plan on bringing them back again in the future alongside new designs I am working on!

In today's vlog I will take you on the launch day adventure with me and show some of the behind the scenes things that go into a launch like this.
Chaotic mermaid shop update VLOG and FINally (see what I did there?) releasing my new mermaid fin skin designs! Though they did sell out within the hour, they will be returning to the shop again in the future with new designs! The matching mermaid apparel is still available if you are looking for mermaid tops, or mermaid leggings! 💖🧜‍♀️ ⭐

I'm really excited for where this new avenue of mermaid magic will take all of us and my hope is that it opens the realm of mermaid magic up to more people!

I can't wait for you all to see what I have planned for the next designs I'll be releasing! 🤩

Happy Swimming!

I Broke My Sewing Machine, Mermaid Community DRAMA, and Shop Status Update - STUDIO VLOG

Well I wasn't expecting this to happen when it did. The universe is definitely testing me right now and I am STEPPING UP.

Things are continuing to move along in the shop which is excellent. With the February deadline having passed, I am finally able to focus in on the tasks at hand! 🙌

I'm making excellent progress, though I am still behind. Instead of fighting to catch up, with everything else in my life I am dealing with, I am adjusting my timeline to alleviate some of the pressure on myself.
All remaining mermaid tails, that I have received measurements for, are now at the printer and in the queue. If you did not receive the February-please-get-me-your-measurements email, then I have your measurements and all is well!
Picture
I sincerely look forward to moving on from this measurements debacle and knowing that I have found a solution to this for future launches is giving me hope.

This is all part of the experience of running a business as an artist and how can you ever improve without making a few mistakes along the way?
That's all for me today my fishes! I'm wishing you a beautiful rest of your week and look forward to catching up with you all again soon! 💖

Happy Swimming!

A Difficult Decision to Make... ? | STUDIO VLOG

I had to make tough decision this week in regards to my business... Hopefully my new system/new plan can help smooth things out and hopefully we can all move forward.

​This is part of running a business and I promised you fishes I would always give it to you straight which is why I choose to share this all publicly. 💚💙
Picture
I have also now completed the monofin covers and I do need to make a few final tweaks to the sewing pattern, but otherwise we are GOOD TO GO!

Look for these beauties to arrive in the shop SOON!

​The fin skins (still debating on what to call them) are designed to work with the Mermaid Linden monofin and will match the leggings from my shop to give you the #SOmermaid look without the full tail skin restrictions/cost!

Can't wait for the launch!

Here's a quick look at the INCREDIBLE new window film that I mentioned in today's video!

I am absolutely in love with it! Every morning I walk into my office and immediately smile and the sparkling rainbows it creates!

If I had known it would be so easy and so inexpensive to do, and what a HUGE difference it would make to the look of my studio, I would have done this AGES ago!

Better late than never!

If you need a little something to bring a little extra sparkle to a space you spend a lot of time in, THIS IS THE STUFF!
