I just made these for tomorrow.

They are beautiful Thelma.    

Truly impressive! I may have to attempt these someday! How did you make the nose?

and in the braid part, did you only use one 260 per "braid strand" or is there like 2, but where you tied them is hidden?

Love these Thelma. They are huge. The tails are my favourite bits very effective  

They are great   Very nicely shaped, good proportions, personality, colours, technique, art work etc.

Thanks. The tail braid is one length from top to bottom and you can see the nose instructions on smudgyentertainments.co.uk in free tutorials.

Stunning tails!

Was working in Toys R Us again this Sunday and was asked for a mermaid so did this.  Ended up making it a few times after as well as people saw them around the store.  So take that as a good sign!

I like the tail Thelma, guessing it is a four balloon weave?

Yes
