Red white and blue! Glimmer the mermaid tail rev 2 is almost done. A bit more glue and then I might do a swim test at the lake over the holiday weekend. 
Nice!
And I love the all the little design details on the tail, the little curls and waves.
I need to figure out how to video LEDs and have it come out even half as pretty as the real thing. Probably itās something like ādonāt use your iPhoneā
Turn the brightness of the LEDs down to around 15, otherwise it just burns out your phoneās sensor
.
@Erin_St_Blaine I posted tips for video camera capture and @Mark_Kriegsman commented on that post for details about how to capture video of leds on an iPhone. I hope this helps. https://plus.google.com/104334327487374225406/posts/4hLXE7BWpxp
Thatās SUPER helpful. This community is so awesome.
My wife (a demon sewer!) thinks your tail is awesome and asked if iyou have a specific purpose in mind
I am a professional entertainer and I do mermaid kids shows and random appearances (wineries and casinos and such). I donāt have anything specifically lined up for the glimmer tail but once I get it working consistently Iāll do some marketing videos and who knows what the universe will toss my way? http://www.firepixie.com/mermaids
Wow! I didnāt realise it was waterproof. Thatās really special.
:). Itās swimmable. Yesterday I took it down to 10ā and had no leaks. I have another flicker / short somewhere I need to track down but on the whole its mostly working underwater. Huge sigh of relief. (If it didnāt need to be swimmable it would have been finished MONTHS ago)
