DIY Mermaid Tail Cosplay Redo
I wanted to KILL HER! She's old enough to do this HERSELF! This was SOOOOOOOO physically PAINFUL, and FRUSTRATING TO FINISH! Setbacks galore! Had to disassemble & resemble my sewing machines MULTIPLE TIMES!
I think it's made from a totally of like 5-6 pairs of old leggings/tights that she can't fit anymore.
I started this thing last year, but she didn't like the material of the tail part because it caused a lot of drag in the water. Different materials behave differently in water than in air/atmosphere.
I cut the tights into strips, which I had to do ON THE F@#$ING FLOOR because (don't ask) spouses happen... crappy wokring conditions, spouses with OCD controll freak issues. I WANTED TO QUIT THIS PROJECT SO MANY TIMES!
Let's talk about LOWER BACK PAIN!
On 2nd, thought, LET'S NOT!
I could ONLY work on this up to 3 hours at a time, because I was sprawled and hunched over on the floor, because POVERTY SUX, and working tables which COULD exist, are vetoed via controll freak spouses...
So, I'm NOT like a teenager nor 20 something... I'm 36... I can;t do stuff like before... because PAIN!
Pain that can last for DAYS, and bother sleep, or bother waking up, or prevent me from living, or going to the gym... I also got HEAD ACHES, neck aches, head aches...
WHY?
Because doing this shit on the floor is NOT the right way to do it... but, I don;t have a table I'm allowed to work on...
Plus, I had to use our so-called dining table, more like a makeshift dining table, to put my sewing machine on... and i CAN'T move it in between working on it. So, back & forth from cutting, arranging, pinning, sewing... fixing machine... PAIN PAIN PAIN PAIN!
If I sound grumpy & disgruntled, and resentful over this thing, it's because I AM!
I also had a number of other things I had to do, because MOTHERHOOD... and Father's sometimes SUCK, and thing spending money makes everything better! But, HIS artwork is PRIORITY because machoists have testicles... and somehow that makes sense in their heads... *shrugs*
But, at least we got to see Ghostbusters. I alos had to go catch Pokemon with the kid. Can we talk about back pain?
On 2nd, thought, let's NOT...
My disgruntled frustration:
I was on a roll with my own personal artwork, and other projects I was doing, when the kid, and the spouse got all up in my face to do this thing...
This is what it looks like dry. It stretches out in the water.
Here it is in the water:
I finished this last week, and I couldn't get time to blog this out until now, and I gotta tell ya, thousands of things distracting me ALL DAY.
I told the kid I am NEVER EVER doing another one, EVER! If she wants a new one she can make it herself, or fund-raise on her own.
I could've been finished a lot quicker had Mr. Wang taken us to Joanne's fabric store, because she had cash to buy fabric... BUT, NO, he didn't want to spend the gasoline, or his tires kept deflating, or people in heatwaves drive insanely on the roads...
Also, at one point I told him: DO NOT TOUCH NOR MOVE ANYTHING, because I had ths trips laid out, in order. Needed to pin them but the kid needed to go to the free concert over at the FOGG Library down the street, plus catch Pokemon.
I come back ,and EVERYTHING was MOVED! I mean, I went over it, over and over, and said: DO YOU UNDERSTAND? and THIS IS WHY... and he was like: OK! OK! I GET IT! SHUUT UP ALREADY...
But, as always, he goes OCD controll freak, and has to CLEAN and TIDY everything JUST BECAUSE I'M doing something creative, and he has control freak, internal mental issues...
Turns out he was VACUUMING and sucked up my fabric which I SPECIFICALLY TOLD HIM NOT TO TOUCH ANYTHING!!!!!! AND, EXPLAINED IT AD NAUSEUM!
Then, after denying it, checked the vacuum, found it, admitted he f@#$ed up, and then washed it, which set me back A WHOLE DAY!
Murphy's friggin' law!
SO, I HOPE you enjoyed it.
I still need to shoot some DSLR photos of it...
I've also posted a blog version of this to LinkedIn

Poem: Free Flying Heart
(Some vintage Storyboard thumbnails)
Free Flying Heart (working title)
By Kandice Kathleen Zimbleman (Black UniGryphon)

Rough Draft Lyrics/Poetry
(Also on DeviantArt)
I dreamed I was the wind,
And a Part of the sky,
And then when I awoke,
Remembered I once could fly.
What do I do?
What have I done?
Foolish and selfish mistakes!
Careless and empty! -thinking it's fun!
I am the obstacle of myself,
Find a way to overcome me!
Somehow I can reach it,
My heart wants to finally fly free!
I miss you,
All free in the sky.
I miss me,
That part of me longs to reach up high!
I've been stuck being down,
Solve this puzzle somehow!
And untangle my wings to fly back up!
****
Feet un-grounding, and leaving the floor,
Good-bye to the underworld!
Wind one with me, I'll start to let go!
Now I feel my wings unfurl!
Let me stay forever among you!
Forever the clouds and sky!
Keep me always with you!
Never let us say good-bye!
Good-bye...... (echoes)
........good-bye..... (echoes)
..........good-bye....... (echoes)
Bye-bye-bye-bye.............. (echoes)
When will I be ready?
When will I be done?
When will it be finished?
All I can do for now is observe you all.
Fly away,
Into the setting sun..........

I'm actually, INCREDIBLY busy right now! I have 2 new temp jobs. Just got out of the hosptial with a false misscariage of sorts. Really scary stuff.
I'm no stranger to online markets that print art... I've probably done over a half a dozen already.
This one is actually pretty expensive.
Even tho' I have made sales throughout my life on some of the site, it's pretty rare, and very small money. Usually, people tend to just ROB my art, and not buy ANYTHING!
I pretty much LOST almost a decade's worth of my work in January due to a malware virus.
So, I don;t have the original source files for this, and the resolution isn't the best ever.
I do not have time to totally re-do everything from scratch. And, that's HOURS of work, which never paid off in the past anyway...
Anyways, I kindly submitted some artwork. And, I've taken the time to promote it.
I did NOT know that I was going to have to plug & pedal this stuff myself, or I wouldn't have done it at all in the first place. When I read the forms today it said NOTHING about it...
Whatever, I've done whatever they wanted, I guess... and I don't have anymore time to do anything else...

The DIY Mermaid Tail
It's basically 2 sets of old bike shorts/capri pants/leggings, that I cut up into segments, and reassembled them.
The fins are 2 SCUBA fins/flippers and an old vintage skirt over top.
My sewing machine broke several times, then I had to disassemble, fix, then reassemble multiple times.
The photo shoot outside was delayed several times due to job interviews, leg injury and hospital visit (me). I got so fed up, that I just went late in the mourning, not ideal lighting, and just shot some stuff w/my crutches.
There were also random storms on my free time days, and basically, "shit happens".
Whatevz...
Here's the video footage I shot on my iPhone:
If you want the songs/music you can download them for free from my SoundCloud or NewGrounds.
The songs are totally FREE, and are licensed as Creative Commons.
So have fun!Donwload 'em, share 'em, use 'em, keep, 'em. Whatever u want.
Here's my gallery on PicsArt so go follow me on the app.
On virtually all of my public social media profiles I'm Always "BlackUniGryphon" unless I say otherwise... No, sluts please. Keep ur junk in ur pants, n keep it to urself. Nobody wants to see that.

DIY Mermaid Tail: Preview
She must've begged me to get a tail from "Fin Fun Mermaid" three thousand times! Then, she showed me uptteen-ba-jillian DIY videos, blogs, instagrams, and so on, of all kinds of dumb yuppies making complete fools of themselves & their money on junk, when they probably could've just bought one from "Fin fun mermaid" to support a small business... but, whatever....
Anyways, I'm broke as dirt!
So, what did I do?????
I got 2 old pairs of tights/pants/leggings/bike-shorts or not-quite-capri-pants from Old NAVY that were gonna become rags, or trash anyways.... my kid is also going through a sudden growth spurt, so there's no friggin' way I'm buying a mermaid tail, tailored to her June-sized-body, when she's already outgrow her swimsuit, n had to get a new one on clearance!
I cut up the pants into segments.
Then, I sewed them together w/my sewing machine using honeycomb stitch.
I kept the extra pants' elastic, to tie up the fins part later...
It took forever, because my machine kept falling apart, malfunctioning, or breaking, so I would have to disassemble my machine, and reassemble it multiple times. Also, in the middle of it, we had a major heat wave, humidity finally arrived, then power surges & thunder storms... oh, and I had a job interview.... That, and trying to juggle fixing the situation w/our food stamps, and getting them reinstated... financial conferences, and I sprained my ankle, and had to go to the E.R.
The fins are 2 main components:
* Flippers (S.C.U.B.A. Fins)
* and an old 2002 Boho scarf skirt overtop of the S.C.U.B.A. Fins.
That's it!
I sewed the segments, made sure it looked right, then, she puts on the flippers and the skirt over top, then you tie with the leftover elastic.
BR>
Here's a preview of her getting ready to swim in the pool. I expect to have a lot more photos of my daughter, Heidi, in her mermaid tail.... but, I have to start training at my new job tomorrow....
Coming Soon!
Expect to see more, of my Mermaid Daughter in the water, in the following blog posts.
