Introducing the first Mer Betta Limited Edition tail
"Mer Betta Limited Edition Melite-Polaris Periwinkle Halfmoon mermaid ensemble".... I know, it's a mouthful. :D
This tail is a significant milestone in Mer Betta history. It's the first recolor that I'm releasing. And it's the first limited edition tail. Whether it will be the only limited edition tail will depend on how well this is received.
Recolor
Up till now, I have been reluctant to do any recoloring of Mer Betta tails for two reasons:
1) Recoloring, if not done properly, washes out the nuances in the texture and makes it look like it's been splattered with thick paint. I just now figured out how to do it right.
2) I wanted to stay true to nature. That's the awesomeness of these tails; Mer Betta showcases nature's beauty.
However, I seriously considered making this tail because I've received many requests for a purple tail and purple bettas are rare.
Limited edition
This recolor was a request from a loyal customer who said, "I just hate when I show up in the same tail as another mer". She initially wanted a one-of-a-kind. However, either it would be too expensive for her, or it would be a loss of potential income for me, based on the history of sales of the Version 2 tails. So, as a compromise, we agreed to make it a limited edition tail instead.
We are hoping for a minimum of six participants. But no more than 10 copies of this tail will be sold -- ever.
If you're interested, please go to the Mer Betta main store in Dunbeath and touch the ad with the same texture as above. You'll get a notecard explaining the details and another notecard embedded inside it that you fill out and return to me if you're interested in purchasing.
